Lyric discussion by SillyDoveSongs 

U2 wrote about Sophia from Gnosticism or another female spirit like Gaia, the Queen of the South, or The Great Harlot. The word for spirit is feminine in Hebrew, but that does not make God The Father's spirit feminine! U2 is not singing about the Holy Spirit. They are singing quite the opposite! They are singing the song of The Flatterer, Lucifer, "Ye shall be as God," when they sing, "if you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel." That is Satan's flattery that you can fly because you are egoless. The song is called Mysterious Ways, so it should be obvious that this is ancient Mystery Religion, Mystery Babylon the Great that falls in the book of Revelation. The Bible says what is actually a mystery is that one man's sacrifice (Jesus) can save everyone. The Bible talks of a mystery, and tells you what it is, just not how it is accomplished!
