About This Product
From the Introductory Remarks - “Through wisdom is a house builded; and by understanding it is established: and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches” (Prov. 24:3-4).
Man, being spirit, soul and body, is likened to a house with rooms that can contain much riches.
“My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: so shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off” (Prov. 24:13-14).
Reading God’s Word is good and tastes sweet, like honey; storing wisdom from it for another day is a honeycomb.
“Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast Thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? And that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He hath afore prepared unto glory, even us, whom, He hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” (Rom. 9:20-24).
Proverbs gives us the moral government of God on the earth.
His Delights
God, with a special purpose, created the earth to be inhabited forever (Isa. 45:18). In the present earth, God rejoices in the habitable part, because His delights are in men (Prov. 8:31).
Adam, the first man, was placed on the earth. Having sinned, he brought the whole physical creation into ruin. But worse, man, as a result, became a moral ruin. Having given in to Satan’s wiles, man became the slave of sin.
God will not be frustrated in His purpose to find His pleasure in man. In the millennial day He will destroy the curse in the physical earth. Later He will entirely change the earth by fire, so that man might live on it forever, without an enemy to tempt him.
The Creator will not only remove the effects of sin from the physical earth, but He has undertaken to restore His creature, man, from his morally ruined condition. It is not simply a matter of changing man’s body physically, which will occur for us when Christ comes, but it is a matter of dealing with man’s lost and sinful condition. Christ died that man might be reconciled to God and be given eternal life.
Man had a capacity for good which was made void by sin in the fall. God has in view the filling of this void, if man bows to the government of God. Wisdom is the key to the fulfillment of this work.
