Women Working
We usually broach this subject with the term “Women working”, but that really isn’t a fair term. The
question isn’t “Should women work” because women do work. God commanded us to work, even as he
commanded Adam to work in Genesis.
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and
to keep it. ~Genesis 2:15
The ideal woman shown to us in Proverbs 31 “Eateth not the bread of idleness” and “worketh willingly
with her hands.” (Proverbs 31:13 & 27). So, the question really isn’t SHOULD women work, but rather
HOW and WHERE should women work?
Women’s Work
In the Scriptures, God has laid out work for men and work for women. None of us are exempt from
work, in fact, work was a mandate before the fall. Work was not the curse. Difficult toil, weeds, pain and
sweat were the curse. But, even way back in Genesis, we see the differentiation that God makes
between male and female and what their roles and types of work are.
Adam was created by God with a mission and a purpose. God set him in the garden with a job to do.
Then God created woman and gave her a job as well. Her job was to help Adam, to support him in his
mission, and be a partner in fruitfulness and multiplying the earth.
Later in the Scripture, we see the woman of Proverbs 31, and she shares Eve’s mission. Throughout all of
her productive work, the highlight of her accomplishments is in how she supported her husband’s
mission and cared for her family.
The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of
spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life…Her husband is known
in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land…she looketh well to the
ways of her household…her children rise up and call her blessed, her husband also,
and he praises her. ~Proverbs 31:11,12,23,27,28
We can see from these scriptures that the heart of woman’s work is supporting her husband’s calling,
being fruitful, and caring for her family. The New Testament gives us very clear outlines for what the
women’s sphere looks like.
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love
their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own
husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. ~Titus 2:4-5
There are several key phrases in theses verses. 1)” love their husband and children". We see the
continuance of the theme of womanhood, support our husband’s calling and care for our family. 2)
“Keeper at home". This word for Keeper at Home is interesting, as it is the only time this word is used in
the entire Bible. The Greek translation means to “guard or be ware, a stayer at home that is
domestically inclined (a good housekeeper).” 3) “Obedient to their own husbands". This third phrase
brings out another important point when considering what the Bible says about women and their
sphere of work. Not just in this one instance, but in six Scriptures, the Bible tells the woman to be in
subjection to her OWN husband. However, when women work outside the home, they are subject to
their boss, managers, and other men/people who are not their own husbands.
Why would the Scripture tell us something six times if there wasn’t a good reason for it? As we have
traveled around the country and talked to families around the world, we have seen that this issue
causes many disputes in marriages and home life. When a woman works outside the home for someone
else, it creates a conflict of interest. This makes it very difficult to maintain the proper headship and
Christian atmosphere in the relationship.
Sometimes there may be reasons for a woman to work outside the home. If, being in subjection to her
own husband, there is a situation that would require her leaving the home for an outside job, what
should her considerations be? I believe that we should still look back to the Scriptures and what they
have told us about woman’s work. If at all possible, we should keep within the sphere of womanhood
even when seeking an occupation outside the home. Is the work conducive to supporting men, instead
of ruling over them? Does it fit our nurturing, caring gifts? Can we behave as a real Christian lady in that
occupation, or does it require compromise?

Brother Branham has much to say on this topic as well, which supports what we have already found in

298. Brother Branham, are women allowed to work in public affairs when they
have a healthy husband and children? I am asking this question for someone else.
153 Well, I—I—I—I don’t know about that. I can’t say. But I—I just have this feeling.
Let me say this: I believe, if I was a—a woman and I knowed that my husband was
healthy and had a good job, working, I believe it would be a—a great pleasure to me
to stay home, take care of my children and make the…and—and—and take care of
my children and raise them up, and to love the Lord. And if I had any time from my
washing and things that I was going to do, I think I would teach my children how to
serve the Lord.
154 Now, if you’ve got a—a debt or something that you’re trying to help your
husband pay for, or something that you have to do that…Well, I think that’s fine if
you’ll try to help him. And—and you live a lady. And I—I think it’s hard. No man
that’s got good understanding wants his wife to get in a bunch, where there’s a
bunch of vulgar, dirty man and things like that. But if the woman has to get in that, I
think that she ought to—her husband ought to know that she’s a genuine Christian
that can be trusted, a trustworthy woman.
155 But now, as to say that she shouldn’t work, I—I don’t know. See, there’s no
Scripture to back that up. I’m just—I’m just passing that opinion. But I think if a
woman wants to work and she wants to work…
156 Now, I’m certainly against women working in these offices where all these
business men…They carry on, tell them dirty jokes. And a nice, clean woman setting
there, and all these smutty dirty things told around like that, I—I’m against that. I
think you ought to come out from among such stuff as that.
157 But now, if a woman can hold herself as a—as a real lady and trying to help
her husband do something to meet—some clothes for the kids to go to school,
or—or pay off a bill, or something like that, and she wants to work till that’s
over…Now, this not the Lord, ’cause I don’t have no Scripture for this. I’m just saying
that’d be my opinion; but otherwise, I wouldn’t think just ’cause she wants to work
just to run around and have—or—more money to spend, run around, and run to
barrooms, or drink, smoke, and carry on; I don’t think she should do it. I think she
should stay home, try to be a lady, and take care of her house.

Again, what we hear Brother Branham saying takes us back to the Scriptural basis for a woman’s
purpose in life. She should desire to stay at home, serve her husband and her family. But if it’s
necessary for her to work, she should find something that allows her to remain in her feminine roll. I
believe the same principles apply for an unmarried woman. If she has prolonged singleness and has
need to work, that might be okay, but she needs to find an occupation that is conducive to her feminine
roll. She shouldn’t be training to be a lawyer, or a police officer, or the next Fortune 500 CEO.
The next point that Brother Branham brings out is very striking. Could it be that this modern idea of
women leaving the home for the work force is actually Satan’s tactic to destroy the Christ-centered
family?

121 Pharaoh called all of his counselors together, and all of them together. They got
in there. Said, “All right, they’re still increasing! What will we do about it now?”
122 This same old sly, slick devil-faced guy, raised up. He said, “Long live King
Pharaoh. I have the idea. Look, you’ve got the man working. You make them have a
kiln of bricks, so many each day, make them make them out of stubble. You’ve killed
the—the little children and things, but they’re still increasing. The thing you ought to
do, is put the women to work, too. If you put the women to work, then they won’t…”
Now, that’s not a woman’s place. No. So they said, “But you put the women to work,
and put them out there, and let them make brick, too. And then they’ll be so tired
when they come in, they—they can’t cook their husband’s supper, they can’t be a
good mama, see. And so if they’re going to work and go on like that, so they—they
won’t be able to do it. So, you put them to work, too.”
123 “That’s good! My, you’re a wise man.” So he puts all women to work.

crumbling home life several times.
crumbling home life several times.
41 I got a piece of the paper that was in our paper there, our local paper, that
showed that three out of every four soldiers that went overseas during the other war
was divorced six months after they were there by their wife. Went to work in powder
plants, so forth like that…
Now, if a man is sick and his wife can’t work, I mean, he can’t work, I don’t blame; his
wife got to make a living. That’s right. But if she’s just out working to have a little
extra money, you’d better keep her away from that scallywag bunch that’s she’s
working with out there. Her place is home. That’s it. Here she—she’s supposed to be
at home.
And mister, you might call yourself ever so good, but if you’ve got lodges and other
things that calls you away from her at night, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
God gave you a home to—for cherish and comfort and things like that, and it’s a
shame to see the way man does their wives, and wives do man. The womanhood and
fatherhood of the nation is tore to pieces, divorce courts piled full.

,What God Ordained A Woman To Be
Women were created and designed for a specific purpose and given important work by God. What did God ordain a woman to be? Let's see what the Bible says.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:20-24
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow
thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Genesis 3:16
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their
children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be
not blasphemed.Titus 2:4-5
Throughout the Bible a women are rarely seen working out from under their husbands or fathers. The
few times that you even hear of a woman going out alone, it usually didn't end well. The women stayed
home, took care of the house, and raised their children. This was the normative. Even in the United States, it wasn't until WWII that very many women started working outside the home. During the war, much of the male workforce went to fight, and women had to start working the jobs men used to do. Ever since, it seems woman have needed to work to help pay the bills. Has the woman's role changed to help her husband, or is she supposed to be at home? The real question remains, what does the Bible say? We have given several Scriptures that we feel confident answer to the fact that a woman's work should be centered in the home whenever possible.

What About Single Daughters?
The prophet and the Bible do not say much about this, but we have a few stories of young woman in the Bible that might shed some light.
And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them. Genesis 29:9
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. Acts 9:36-42
It is commonly believed that Tabitha was a young woman. Regardless of her age, she had used her time to assist widows, do "good works" and "almsdeeds". She was not idle, but neither did she seem to sell her time and talents to the Romans.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. Exodus 2:16
In each of these scriptures we see the young woman helping serve their fathers, family, and church family.
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 1 Corinthians 7:34
In the years of singleness there is a wonderful opportunity for young ladies to serve the Lord, by serving others. When married, one must start to worry about taking care of the house, and children; but perhaps God has given these precious years to serve Him with less distraction.

Conclusion
The conclusion that we have found isn’t a popular one. But which is more important, staying in the
perfect will of God, raising a godly family and achieving a happy home life, or having extra money for
life’s comforts? I’m going to conclude with one last quote from Brother Branham.

Here’s the only thing you do. Now, when you leave the church tonight, you say, “You
know, I kinda believe Brother Branham's right. Yeah, now, that is the truth.” But
tomorrow you go right back into the office when you oughtn’t to go. If your
husband’s sick, you need to do it. But if it isn’t, listen, sister dear, God made you for
one place, the kitchen. When you get out of there, you’re out of His will. Remember
that. Women was made to be a helpmate at the house. She never was made for
office work. And it’s caused more disgrace and divorces and things.
And today, even your lovely city is degraded as far as ours is, with women cops on the
street. If that ain’t a disgrace to Chicago or anything else, when thousands of men
walking the street wanting a job. Exactly the truth. And big? Oh, my. “Hey, get over
there.” You ought to be in the kitchen cooking your husband a pie for supper or something. Exactly right.
53 I know you’re… That—that’s hard, friends. But that’s said not with scorn; it’s said
with love, that I love you, and I want you to understand it in that way. But you can’t
see sin and set still. That—that’s all. I—I—I don’t like it. And I see it in the people. And
the people here, and the people I preach to are people who love me, and—and my
living comes for them people. God puts it upon their heart and they give me living.

street. If that ain’t a disgrace to Chicago or anything else, when thousands of men
walking the street wanting a job. Exactly the truth. And big? Oh, my. “Hey, get over
there.” You ought to be in the kitchen cooking your husband a pie for supper or something. Exactly right.
53 I know you’re… That—that’s hard, friends. But that’s said not with scorn; it’s said
with love, that I love you, and I want you to understand it in that way. But you can’t
see sin and set still. That—that’s all. I—I—I don’t like it. And I see it in the people. And
the people here, and the people I preach to are people who love me, and—and my
living comes for them people. God puts it upon their heart and they give me living.
