Wisdom - from sister, trader to a Mother!

Luke 7:35 - But wisdom is justified of all her children.


I have seen that many of those who have become victims of Satan and fallen in his traps are those who lack wisdom. Many of them think that the Word is simple and for the lay man.

Since I do not like to get personal I avoid showing them in their own words how much of vanity exist. They contradict their own words and it is difficult to understand what they believe in.

King Solomon who was blessed in wisdom and understanding which exceeded all those during those time yet did the most foolish things of worshiping idols (false gods) because of his lust for women. It may surprise the gods Solomon fell for are the same which the Catholics, Prosperity Church and Islam fall for.

Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians ('Ishtar' of Assyria) - symbolizes 'prosperity' (idol of the Prosperity Church who pursue prosperity more than God or His Will)

Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites - symbolizes 'making man king' (giving God's position to man - like Holy Father. A person of God is called a Man of God pursuing holiness but never Holy Father)

Chemosh the abomination of Moab (means 'subduer' a god of stars / planets) - symbolizes 'people void of destiny' - both Catholics and Muslims fall in this category, both have no idea of what Heaven is and how one can reach there.

Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon (god of lust worshipped with orgies) - symbolizes lust - Muslims and to some extend Catholics are blinded by this god. They both expect earthly pleasures in Heaven. The Muslims believed the martyrs and the anointed ones will receive many young virgins and great banquets in Heaven. About the Catholics I am still confused about their confusion in what they expect Heaven to be they want mother of God and queen of Heaven, and what not in Heaven. I do not know where God (Father, Son and Spirit) stands in their picture of Heaven.


Although King Solomon was blessed in these gifts yet he was never called a Man of God for the Spirit was not with him like in the case of his father David.

Although Solomon in his old days was led by the Spirit of God to compose (they were physically written by someone else) the books which are now a part of the Bible and even make the Temple, yet he was never filled with the Spirit of God. When one really understands the Word then one will know the part Solomon played in the Bible.

We need to realize we are better off than Solomon because, we through our faith in Jesus Christ have received the Spirit of Truth (which also translates as Wisdom). We are now adopted by the Holy Spirit, Who is now both our Father and Mother because Jesus made us His brother and sisters.

One of the references used for God 'Al-Shadai' which is translated as 'Almighty God' in ancient Hebrew literally means 'Strong Breasted One'. God is both our eternal Father and Mother.

It is only when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit and become children of the Holy Spirit that we start to understand the Word of God.
