Can A Man Bear Children?
Yesterday really had a kind of chaos storm vibe to it. I know I've mentioned this before, but it really felt amplified yesterday, like a hurricane brewing or perhaps a temporary storm surge. I have examined the specifics of "birthing pains" before (Matthew 24:8 "All these are the beginning of birth pains.") and how this could relate to women being pregnant, but also man and God being pregnant, each of which are referenced in some way in prophecy.
Jeremiah 30:6
"Ask and see:
Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,
Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,
every face turned deathly pale?"
Isaiah 42:14
“For a long time I have kept silent,
I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant."
This brings me back to Genesis and what The Lord God said to Eve:
Genesis 3:16
To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children...”
Now while God was issuing punishments and curses in this chapter, I believe that God's nature is love and not cruelty. It could be that bearing a child needed to be reshaped for such a feat to be reasonably possible, or possible at all; in this scenario severe physical pain would be the best way to do this. Consider that, for God, a child would need to be an independent will, likely on comparable footing as God in terms of reality, able to exercise authority. I have described this before as "a second roller," and the idea of another being who is able to interact with reality in the same way God does is, in my opinion, staggeringly difficult to understand, but it seems like this would be required for an actual child of God to exist in reality. Personally I have had a dream where I glimpsed something like this, where I was on truly equal footing with another there, in terms of being able to influence the dream. We were not yet on the same page and so it was like we were each exercising authority to change things without even meaning to, on instinct alone essentially, and the fabric of the dream was tearing with these violent tides, but not falling apart. I could see this scenario being even worse if I did not recognize this other as one I loved, a representation of Hope. If we were each actively fighting against each other for control, we likely would have locked ourselves into a realm of inescapable chaos in short order. Such are the potential pitfalls of having more than one with authority in a place, but for children to exist in full, it seems like this must be the final arrangement.
All of this is to say that there is a lot of reality crafting involved in the emergence of a new consciousness, a lot of stitching the validity of a fetus into the established fabric of reality- this is true for human babies both physically and psychologically for the family, but if the balance had not been shifted to physical pain, with Eve being the mother of all the living, gestation and childbirth could very well be a much more difficult process, utterly disruptive to the fabric of reality.
If you look closely into Ruth and Job, there are instances of a lack of clarity or messages that seem to be intentionally interpretable on multiple levels simultaneously which actually seem like they are critical to establishing the validity of "The Son of God," from a legal perspective. It seems like such tightrope intertwined interpretations are essentially required for "an additional roller"/a child; it is like these technicalities in The Law are carefully arranged to lead to a soul crafting/emergence that can be verified externally, leading to a realm truly established by agreement, rather than by authority and the gracious appearance of agreement.
So the question is: if a man were to be pregnant, but without the reshaping of pregnancy into amplified physical pain as pregnancy has been declared with woman, then what would that process actually look like? From different pieces I have gathered together from dreams and logical and biblical examinations, it seems to me that the answer is something like a chaos storm during gestation, with "birthing pains" being "sorrow" indeed (this is in reference to the multiple translations of Matthew 24:8). It is no surprise that Jesus described this period of time as encompassing the entire planet, as even a relatively smooth "birth" of an additional "roller" feels like it could still be a cataclysmic upheaval as one relatively unlearned in the shaping of reality is suddenly directly involved in it/responsible for it. I may be overthinking these things, but in the absence of certainty, without the absence of the desire for more, it seems that faith and contingency planning/consideration can and perhaps must bloom, or this question is not a question at all: "Ask and see: Can a man bear children?" I believe God does not mislead by asking a question where a statement is needed or vice versa, so I ask, and keep eyes open to see.
