Eve: Queen, Priestess, Prophetess

If Adam is a prophet a priest and a king, I would suggest it makes sense to say that Eve is a queen, a priestess and a prophetess - and not as a king, priest and prophet in her own right , and that is more than a gramatical point.

Under God she gets her being from Adam and her role is not to be independant but to help the man in the mission they share.

If Adam is prophet, priest, king and he is a type of Christ then is Eve a type of Israel/a type of the Church.

Yes, that sounds right to me. The church "helps" Christ in his project of ruling and subduing the world.

I've always said I want to be Queen...

Ros,

"a Queen"?

Is the church now a princess before her marriage to the king?
