Jeremiah 31:22 " How long will you gad about, O you backsliding daughter? For the *Lord* has *created a new thing* in the earth
A *woman* shall encompass a man".
Is the prophet talking about the virgin birth or the rise of feminism?I've heard it interpreted both ways.What's up with this prophecy?
Yes it certainly does and the Lord made it all possible. Which is important to remember.It's a complaint and a prophecy.
Isaiah 3:12 Youths oppress my people, women rule over them.
Also 3:5 The young will rise up against the old, the base against the honorable.
Sounds a lot like today.
Possibly it is referring to jezebel, evil woman leader corrupting many ... or the same kind of spirit,What's up with this prophecy?

Okay.I'll take your advice.Thanks.Step 1...read how other translation interpret the word "encompass"
Step 2...Look at the word used by understanding the word...first seeing it in through an interlinear translation...then looking up the word.
Now, if you really care you can read a few commentaries.
Doing that will answer your question as to...Is the prophet talking about the virgin birth or the rise of feminism. You might find the answer to be neither.
IMO, it is a statement of a curse earned by the unfaithfulness of the Jews—basically that men are failing to be and do what God commanded.
I am interpreting encompass as to "be over" as in rule over. It means what it would have meant to the hearers. Put yourself in that culture and then imagine hearing, God said "women will rule over you."
Clearly a contemporary of Henny Youngman. I miss a lot of comedians from the 40s to 80s—well, pretty much anyone from before swearing and belittling others became de rigueur.This has been the case for millennia. Victor Borge phrased it pretty well. "A man isn't complete until he's married............then he's finished."
