Because of the Angels...

About 6 months ago, my pastor plopped Systematic Theology in front of me and told me he wanted me to read it cover to cover... so I am.

I was reading Chapter 19 about Angels last night.

Grudem mentioned 1 Corinthians 11:10 which says:

"Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels."

Wait... what exactly does that mean?
I am wondering YOUR thoughts on this.

We know that angels witness our lives and the glorify God for our worship and obedience. Head coverings, in that day, represented a women being under the submission and authority of a man, which in turn represented them being in submission to the Lord.

I was curious about why, though, angels were mentioned. Why was it important that women's heads were covered because they were watching?

I looked this up in Walvoord and Zucks commentary and they suggest that Angels view our lives and what we do affects them in some way. They seemed to say, that we can cause Angels to stumble... which would mean an angel can become "fallen" at any point and it wasn't a one time thing when satan and his followers were thrown out of heaven.

I don't exactly know what I think about this... and am wondering if anyone else has an opinion or insight?
