Bible Question:
Prov 1:20-2:16 20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. CHAPTER 2 1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: 16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; (KJV) q: can we assume from this passage that the "spirit/essence of Prophecy, the Testimony of Jesus" (New Testament) is poured out by our Active Living Jehovah since the invisible things are clearly discerned (apostolic epistle) to every unbeliever through the glory of creation, the tell-it-all? thanks for your grace |
Bible Answer: Dear chessshores, Your question was; q: can we assume from this passage that the "spirit/essence of Prophecy, the Testimony of Jesus" (New Testament)is poured out by our Active Living Jehovah since the invisible things are clearly discerned (apostolic epistle) to every unbeliever through the glory of creation, the tell-it-all? The passage you cited from Proverbs has nothing what so ever to do with the spirit and essence of prophecy, the testimony of Jesus Christ. Proverbs were words of wisdom written by Solomon to guide the wise mand and to rebuke the foolish. Proverbs is prose language, not prophcy of any kind about any one. The gospels descrbing the spirit essence of prophecy, the testimony of Jesus as you like to call it, what ever that means to you, I am not sure, are full of 350 fulfilled prophecy, but this is not one of them. I am looking closely at your passage and do not find the words, the invisible things are clearly discerned, any where in the two passages you cite. Do you have another passage in Proverbs in mind here? You have included here an allussion to invisible things being cleary discerned to every unbeliever through the glory of creation, the tell it all, this was a revelation of God given to men which they rejected, but you are linking it to another type of revelation, Jesus Christ... Do you mean that the revelation of Jesus Christ was poured out by God after every unbeliever rejected the revelation of the creation by God, and that this is a result of a prophecy from Proverbs coming true? The first part of that is true, but that it was a prophecy from Proverbs is not. Take your time, craft your questions in parts if need be, you can have one scripture and several questions at once, it is all right to do. Where you go to write a question it will be suggeted to you to pick a verse first. Up top there are two boxes and you type in there your verse or book in question. The page will flip to a new page where you will then write your question. God's day to you, Tamara |
