There are women of the bible who lived dreamed felt loved laughed they cried and hated there women who had hearts and souls women some who sought God women others who turned away from him and put themselves at the service of the flesh and lived to please the world.

The woman has always had a relevant role in the life of the man and of the society the woman exerts an enormous influence in the man and through the man in all the life because she is indispensable and opportune in any situation.

For example, we can mention some of them that have played a very revealing role throughout the history of the Bible and of humanity.
Hagar the servant of Abraham Tamar the daughter-in-law of Judah Rahab the harlot of Jericho Mical beautiful but cold and Jetzabel the worst of all.

Each of them played an important role within their scope and some of them are characters from the bible, their lives or parts of their lives were stamped in the eternal book for example and teachings of what to do and what not to do. must do because the Bible is a sincere and austere book a book of green lights and red lights green lights of free way and red lights of danger.

Today I want to refer to one of her and her name is not in the bible, it seems that the evangelists did not think it important to mention it by name, but Joseph the Jewish historian does give it to Salome the wind dancer.

Matthew 14: 6-8
6 When Herod celebrated his birthday, Herodias's daughter danced in front of the guests. 7 Herod very much liked the girl's dance. So he promised to give her what she asked for. 8 Herodias heard that, and convinced his daughter to ask Herod for the head of John the Baptist.
(RVR1960)

Salomé was the daughter of Herodías and Herodías was married to Herod antipas one of the kings of the famous family of herodes that marriage was adultery because herodías had been the woman of felipe brother of herodes antipas Juan e lBautista had denounced that sin and Herodías abhorred it and he had made him lock up in jail and here comes the worst part that came to Salome in all history. Herod's birthday was celebrated one day, there was a party at the palace, music, dances, wines and songs and at the end of the party as something special The beautiful young seductive daughter of herodes entered Salome, and the girl danced in front of the king, an undulating oriental dance, insinuating, a voluminous dance, Herod was subdued, ask me for anything that I will give it to you, I tell the girl and Salomé instructed by the mother said: give me a plate the head of John the Baptist Herod could not refuse and ordered the prophet of God beheaded

What is the role that this girl plays in the biblical story?

that of feminine beauty and seduction placed at the service of a bad cause many women are like this in the world who lend themselves to doing evil to upset the heads of other human beings and to ruin homes
The Bible says that grace is deceitful and beauty is vain.

The woman who fears God will be praised because the most important beauty is moral and spiritual beauty. It never produces tragedy, it always enriches life.

This is great. I also believe that the growth of a community, society, or family is in the hands of a woman who fears God. A woman who see her beauty as a tool destroys people around her with it.

In the hands of a woman lies great powers given to her by God which can be used wisely for the enrichment of the life of people around her surroundings with the help of God or for the destruction of those people. Whichever one she picks is her choice.

Nice write up.
