Hi Dr. Joshua: Welcome to the forum! Here's some commentary on that from John Gill, which I believe says it fairly well. I pray it helps. John --"Ver. 15. Notwithstanding she shall be saved,.... Not Eve, though no doubt she is saved; since she had a sense of her sin, and shame for it, a revelation of the Messiah to her, and faith in him; see Ge 3:7. But rather any woman, particularly such as profess godliness, who shall be saved 'in childbearing;' which is to be understood not of a temporal salvation, or being saved through childbearing, through the perilous time, and be delivered out of it; for though this is generally the case, yet not always, nor always the case of good women. Rachel died in childbed:" " But spiritual and eternal salvation is here meant; not that bearing children is the cause, condition, or means of salvation; for as this is not God's way of salvation, so it confines the salvation of women to childbearing ones; and which must give an uneasy reflection to maidens, and women that never bore any; but rather the meaning is, that good women shall be saved, notwithstanding their bearing and bringing forth children in pain and sorrow, according to the original curse, in Ge 3:16. And so the words administer some comfort to women, in their present situation of subjection and sorrow; though they may be rendered impersonally thus, "notwithstanding there is salvation through the birth of a son": and the sense is, that notwithstanding the fall of man by the means of the woman, yet there is salvation for both men and women, through the birth of Immanuel, the child born, and Son given; at whose birth, the angels sung peace on earth, good will to men; through the true Messiah, the deed of the woman, through the incarnate Saviour, who was made of a woman, there is salvation for lost sinners: He was born of a woman, and came into the world in order to obtain salvation for them; and He has effected it, and it is in Him, for all such who apply to Him for it; and with it all true believers, men and women, shall be saved through Him, v15 "if they continue in faith and charity, and holiness, with sobriety." -- John Gill http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ |
