Wisdom

This study is made for those who may of never understood what the Scriptural meaning of wisdom is.  Wisdom is spoken of in many forms, mostly metaphorically.  Warning!  Some of these things you are about to read may be controversial to you and your beliefs!  I urge you to read on, and study all things before tossing aside what is right before your eyes.

 

With the power of Yahweh

Micah 5:2-3- “Hence Yahweh will abandon them only until she who is in labor gives birth, and then those who survive of this race will be reunited to the Israelites.  He will take his stand and he will shepherd them with the power of Yahweh.”

Micah 3:8- “But truly I am full of power by the spirit of Yahweh, and of judgement and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.”

 

 

Messiah/anointed

Luke 2:40- “And as the child grew to maturity, he was filled with wisdom; and Yahweh’s favor was with him.”

Luke 21:15- “…I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or contradict.

 

From yah, to messiah, to us

Acts 2:33- “Now raised to the heights by Yahweh’s right hand, he has received from the Father the Holy Spirit.”

Act 6:10 (Stephen)- “They found they could not stand up against him because of his wisdom, and the spirit that prompted what he said.”

1 Corinthians 1:24+30- “but to those who have been called, whether they are Jews or Greeks, a Messiah who is both the power of Yahweh and the wisdom of Yahweh.”… “It is by him that you exist in Messiah Yahoshua, who for us was made wisdom from Yahweh….”

In the verses we have covered so far, we have seen that the Messiah was to be, thus he was, filled with wisdom and/or spirit, which appear to have the same meaning. We also have read that this same wisdom/spirit is passed on to us.

Spirit, simply spirit!

1 Corinthians 2:10-12- “to us, though, Yahweh has given revelation through the spirit, for the spirit explores the depths of everything, even the depths of Yahweh.  After all, is there anyone who knows the qualities of anyone except his own spirit within him; and in the same way, nobody knows the qualities of Yahweh except the spirit of Yahweh.   Now, the spirit we have received is not the spirit of the world but Yahweh’s own spirit.”

READ THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN!  YAHWEH’S SPIRIT IS JUST LIKE OURS!  IT IS A PART OF HIM, IT IS HIM!

 

“WITH” AND “WAS”

Before we go into the next verses, it is vital for you to know that the word “he” in the passage could read, and has been translated, “it.” Can also mean, male and female gender, and neutral gender words.

John 1:3- “In the beginning was the word: the word was with Yahweh and the word was Yahweh.  It was with Yahweh in the beginning.  Through it, all things came into being, not one thing came into being except through it.”

Many people believe that his is proof of a Trinity.  Well, we already saw what Paul said the spirit is, comparing it to our own.  Now we must investigate the “word.”  Does the Scriptures really say Yahoshua Messiah helped create? (See Isaiah 44:24), or was it something else? 

 

Man, I feel like a woman!

I STRONGLY advise you to read Proverbs chapters 1-8.  Here are some highlights.

Proverbs 2:6- “For Yahweh himself is giver of wisdom, from his mouth issue knowledge and understanding.”

Proverbs 3:19- “In wisdom, Yahweh laid the earth’s foundations, in understanding, he spread out the heavens.”

Proverbs 8:22-23- “Yahweh created me, first-fruits of his fashioning, before the oldest of his works.  From everlasting, I was firmly set, from the beginning, BEFORE THE EARTH CAME INTO BEING.”  

So the Scriptures tell us that wisdom was there in the beginning, before anything else was made.  It was this wisdom that is “with” Yahweh and “was/IS” Yahweh.  It is also said to come from Yahweh’s mouth. It is his “word.” That makes beautiful sense!  What comes from my mouth is from my spirit, the same with Yahweh.  The obvious difference would be of course that he speaks and things can be created out of nowhere!  Let’s look back at Genesis in regards to this and take a closer look to what the Scriptures are really saying.

 

“light”

Genesis 1:1-4- “In the beginning Elohim created heaven and earth.  Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a DIVINE WIND sweeping over the waters.  Elohim SAID, ‘Let there be LIGHT,’ and there was LIGHT.  Elohim saw that the LIGHT was GOOD, and Elohim DIVIDED LIGHT FROM DARKNESS.”

This, my friends, I do believe is speaking of wisdom.  By reading Proverbs chapters 1-8 and studying on from there, we see that wisdom is referred to as “light,” “breath,” as well as many other things.  It makes sense that the light spoken of is Yahweh’s spiritual presence itself, there in the beginning before anything else was made.  It can not dwell in darkness, thus the “separation” that happens as well.  It is there in the beginning and he creates with his wisdom. Moving on, remember wisdom is also referred to metaphorically speaking, as a WOMAN!  (Proverbs 1-8)

 

“our image”

Genesis 1:26-27- “Elohim said, ‘Let US make MAN  in OUR IMAGE, in the likeness of OURSELVES, and let them be MASTERS …Elohim CREATED MAN in the IMAGE of HIMSELF, in the IMAGE OF ELOHIM HE CREATED HIM, MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM.”

Genesis 5:1-2- “…On the day Elohim created Adam he made him in the likeness of Elohim.  MALE and FEMALE he created THEM.  He blessed THEM and gave THEM the name MAN when THEY were created.”

Okay, now here comes the real controversial part of this study.  First of all, by at the very least, reading Isaiah 44:24, we know that Yahweh is the Creator.  In Genesis, he is referred to as Elohim.  There is clearly only ONE Creator.  So what is with the “our image” statement? The Creator in question is only spoken of in plural form in this one place in the entire Bible.  My conclusion is, that since wisdom/spirit/light/word etc., is referred to as a “woman,” and it is a part of Yahweh, thus IS Yahweh. Also MAN is made this way, in that image. MAN is referring to BOTH MALE and FEMALE and together they are ONE.  Hawwah (more known incorrectly as Eve) was made out of Adam’s body, thus separate, they are one.  This is the same with Yahweh and the wisdom he speaks, Creates and rules with. It is “with” him and IS HIM!  ONE! WISDOM IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS PAMPHLET CAN COVER!  STUDY!!  THE TORAH IS ALSO HIS WISDOM, (SEE PROVERBS 1-8) STUDY!!

 

Wisdom fill us!

Exodus 31:1-3- “Yahweh then spoke to Moshe and said, ‘Look, I have singled out Bezalel….and have filled him with the SPIRIT of Elohim in WISDOM, KNOW-LEDGE and SKILL in every kind of craft.”

1 Kings 10:24- “and the whole world consulted Shalomon to hear the WISDOM which Elohim implanted in his HEART.”

James 3:10+17- “Anyone who is wise or understanding among you should from a good life give evidence of deeds done in the gentleness of WISDOM….the WISDOM that comes down from above is essentially something pure; it is also peaceable, kindly and considerate; it is full of mercy and shows itself by doing good…”

James 1:5-6- “Any of you who lacks wisdom must ask Yahweh, who gives to all generously and without scolding; it will be given.  But the prayer must be made with faith, and no trace of doubt…”

James 1:21-22- “…Humbly welcome the WORD which had PLANTED IN YOU and can SAVE YOUR SOULS.  BUT YOU MUST DO WHAT THE WORD TELLS YOU AND NOT JUST LISTEN TO IT AND DECEIVE YOURSELVES.”

Yahweh has been working through people since the beginning with his wisdom.  Those who study his words of wisdom, get to know him best!  I hope this helps you know him more, and be blessed and spirit filled!  Truth over traditions!  No more lies!
