Head covering because of the angels. Really?

1 Corinthians 11:
10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

Ellicott explained:

1 With all my heart I praise you, LORD. In the presence of angels I sing your praises.

Angels were present observing the church services. They could see whether or not women covered their heads as a sign of respect for their husbands.

Yes I think it is broader than just in church services - in real life we benefit from angelic ministry if we are rightly related to authority.

Think the young man who Paul excommunicated - exposed to spiritual darkness in the hope he would repent - which he did.

Paul effectively declared him beyond the spiritual help of one kingdom (including the angels) and exposed to the other.

The angelic ministry is largely a forgotten and neglected blessing which returns when authoritative order is restored in the church.

Sadly, places of loving authoritive leadership are not easy to find.
