Isaiah 3:12 does not prove women ruling is always God's judgment

Everything Women Can and Can't Do According to the Bible: Women in Ministry part 13 01:50:23 – 01:51:53

Mike addresses the patriarchalist use of Isaiah 3:12.

Some say 'women ruling is a sign of God's judgment' citing Isaiah 3:12 ('your women shall be your rulers'). But nothing about Deborah's behavior is negative or judgmental. Judges are deliverers, not judgment — this breaks the themes of the Book of Judges. Deborah wasn't a punishment; she was part of God's grace and deliverance for Israel. Mike links to a detailed timestamp addressing Isaiah 3:12.
