The Wise Vs The Foolish
People either have the Light of the MOST HIGH or the darkness of Satan. Father’s Word tell us that, in the resurrection the wise shall shine as bright as the firmament,
Dan 12:2-3, “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise (Sakal H7917) shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”
Only those who obtain wisdom make it into Father’s Eternal Kingdom. Do you have wisdom and what exactly is wisdom? Is it simply intelligence? This blog article will shed light on what wisdom actually is and how one can obtain it.
What is Wisdom?
Spiritual wisdom is not simply intelligence or intellect. The Hebrew word for wisdom is Kokhmah/Cochmah (H2451).
Kokhmah is a feminine noun and means skillful, wit. Yet, there is something more as Hebrew words are all derived from root words. Kokhmah is derived from two words, Koakh (H3581) and Mah (H4100).
Koakh means power, strength and Mah means what, why, how. Therefore the word Kokhmah (wisdom) actually means, the power to inquire or ask, what, why, how?
Example, Gen 12:18, “And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What (Mah) is this that thou have done unto me? Why (Mah) did thou not tell me that she was thy wife?”
Let’s take a moment to ponder what Yahshua Messiah stated concerning those who seek to enter Father’s Kingdom.
Matt 18:3-4, “… Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”
Think of a young child that is constantly asking his/her parents sincere questions of “Why is that? What is this?” and “How is that possible?” A child has a sincere, humble desire to inquire and learn from parents, grandparents and teachers. That is wisdom, the power to sincerely and humbly inquire of our Father the what, why and how concerning spiritual things and how they impact what we should be doing for kingdom building. Wisdom isn’t acquiring a wealth of intelligence. Put another way,
Wisdom is the power gained via the fear of the Father, to ask the right questions, in order to unlock knowledge and understanding to acquire that which is righteous.
Brother Yacob (James) expressed that fact beautifully when he stated, “Where do fightings and strivings come from among you? Do they not come from your pleasures that battle in your members?
2 You desire, and do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are unable to obtain. You strive and fight, and you do not possess, because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask evilly, in order to spend it on your pleasures.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Alohim? Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Alohim” Yacob 4:1-3.
That is exactly the state of the world as we know it. Satan controlled elites manipulate the little people. The little people in-turn prey on and fight one another. Instead of seeking a personal relationship with the Father, as is required, some worship and ask false pastors for guidance, which makes their pastors idols. The pastors, prey on the vulnerable sheep like the wolves they are, picking their pockets clean while leading them astray. Others turn to little gods (little mighty ones) for power and gifts. They don’t fear Father YAH MOST HIGH, and are turned to their idols. They ask after false prophets and idols, so Satan is free to give them what they want because they seek not Father’s Wisdom and Truth. Then they sit and wonder why their lives and the whole world are in a state of turmoil. As such, they lack wisdom and are in a perpetual state of wickedness and despair.
Ezek 14:1-5, “Then came certain of the elders of Yashar ‘al unto me, and sat before me.
2 And the Word of YHVH came unto me, saying,
3 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of, at all by them?
4 Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith YHVH Alohim; Every man of the house of Yashar ‘al that sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I YHVH will answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols;
5 That I may take the house of Yashar ‘al in their own heart (Mind, H3830 leb), because they are all estranged from Me through their idols.”
Those that are wise fear YAH, as the beginning of wisdom is the fear of YHVH!
Sirach 1:26-30, “If you desire wisdom, keep the Commandments,
and YHVH will lavish her upon you.
27 For the fear of YHVH is wisdom and discipline, fidelity and humility are His delight.
28 Do not disobey the fear of YHVH; do not approach Him with a divided mind.
29 Do not be a hypocrite before others, and keep watch over your lips.
30 Do not exalt yourself, or you may fall and bring dishonor upon yourself.
YHVH will reveal your secrets and overthrow you before the whole congregation,
because you did not come in the fear of YHVH, and your heart was full of deceit.”
Psa 111:10, “The fear of YHVH is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endures for ever.”
Prov 9:10, “The fear of YHVH is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the qadosh (set apart) is understanding.”
In reference to fear of our beloved Father, if you have never been told before, I am joyfully informing you right now, if you fear, reverence the MOST HIGH, and are sincerely inquiring of Him, a Book of Remembrance with your name on it, is presented before the MOST HIGH:
“Then they that feared YHVH spake often one to another: and YHVH hearkened, and heard it, and a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for them that feared YHVH, and that thought upon His HaShem (name, reputation).
17 And they shall be mine, saith YHVH of Hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him” Mal 3:16-17.
That Book of Remembrance is actually a Scroll (H5612) of Record (H2146). Your name is not just in the Lamb’s Book of Life, it’s also in Father’s Scroll of Record! So no matter how bad things get, never submit to Satan and his system. Don’t fold because you are being tested, not forgotten.
As the Word has established, only the wise will enter into Father’s eternal kingdom. And it is only those who fear the Father who are given the key to the spirit of wisdom. That’s right, the power to sincerely and humbly inquire of our Father the what, why and how concerning spiritual things, is a spirit. Let’s prove that via Father’s Word.
Deut 34:9, “And Yahshua (Joshua) the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moshe (Moses) had laid his hands upon him: …”
Isa 11:2, “And the spirit of YHVH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHVH”
Eph 1:17, “That the AL of our Adon (Master) Yahshua Messiah, the Father of esteem, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him”
Due to wisdom being spiritual, it is only the wise who can see and heed spiritual things; things that aid them in their journey to Fathers kingdom. Its like a video game. Everyone can play the game and see the carnal things before them. Yet it is only those skilled at the game, those who continue to play over and over again, who come to know the hidden aspects of the game which endows them with special tools to advance. Metaphorically that is like the Word of the MOST HIGH. One must continuously be immersed in Father’s Word with sincere humility and fear of the Creator. It is only then that one is shown the hidden things that the foolish will never obtain.
2 Ezra (Esdras) 14:45-48 KJVA, “And it came to pass, when the forty days were filled, that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou has written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it:
46 But keep the seventy last, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people:
47 For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.
48 And I did so.”
So now we must ask, if the wise have the fountain of wisdom within themselves, what extactly is “the fountain of wisdom?” Let’s see what gem is hidden in another one of those wisdom books of the ancient, never colonized, Semetic, Ethiopian Orthodox Scriptures which includes the Apocrypha, and predates the treasured KJV by 800+ years. I will note however that the KJVA and 1611 KJV also include some apocrypha books. The word apocrypha simply means hidden, secret or concealed. If you are wise you must seek out those things the world is concealing from you in order to keep you from entering the Door of the Good Shepherd.
What is the Fountain of Wisdom within Those Whom are Wise?
Sirach 1:5, “The Word of AL MOST HIGH is the fountain of wisdom…”
If you have been reading my blogs, watching my vids or studying for yourself, you should know that, the Word of the MOST HIGH is Yahshua Messiah (see John 1:14, John 14:6, John 17:17, Rev 19:13, check out my blog, The Living Word ). Yahshua Messiah is the Fountain of Wisdom within the called and chosen!
Let’s recap before proceeding. Thus far the Word of the MOST HIGH, the Fountain of Wisdom, has revealed that
- Only those who obtain Father’s wisdom make it into His eternal kingdom
- The fear of YAH is the beginning of wisdom
- Wisdom (Kokhmah) means skillful or wit but more specifically refers to the power to inquire or ask, what, why, how?
- Wisdom is a spirit and only those who humble themselves like children obtain it
- Before the MOST HIGH is a Scroll of Record (Rememberence) for all those that are wise
- The Fountain of Wisdom is Yahshua Messiah, the Living Word of the MOST HIGH YAH
Let’s continue.
There are three types of people in this world;
1. The Wise who have wisdom,
2. Fools whom are void of wisdom, and
3. Those that are beyond foolish and not even worth discussing
“See thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him” Prov 26:12.
We are going to examine the wise versus the fool so we can elect to put away foolish things, gain wisdom, and make it into Father’s Kingdom. Scripture gives us keen insight on those things the wise and the foolish do. First, I will lay out various Scripture references and then I will go back and examine them. Let’s begin with a few parables set forth via the Word of YAH himself, Yahshua Messiah.
The Wise vs the Fool
Parable of the Rock vs the Sand:
Matt 7:24-27, “Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”
Parable of the Wise vs the Evil Servant:
Matt 24:43-51, “But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man comes.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master has made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Beruk is that servant, whom his master when he comes shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master delays his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The master of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Parable of the 10 Virgins: the 5 Wise vs the Foolish 5
Matt 25:1-13, “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Adonai, Adonai, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.”
Parables Examined
The Fools: not watchful, hear & do not obey Yahshua’s commands, build their houses on sand, which is a non sustaining foundation & do not keep enough oil in their lamps. Therefore they let the light go out & enter into tribulation in darkness, as they have no foundation on which to stand.
The Wise: not only watchful, but are also faithful, hear & obey the commands of Yahshua, build their houses upon the sustainable Rock. They also trim their lamps & keep enough oil in their lamps so they remain in the light.
Also note that “the oil” cannot be loaned. One must purchase it for oneself. The 5 foolish virgins tried to purchase oil from the wise, who informed them that they must go and purchase their own.
Matt 25:9, “But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.”
Prov 21:20, “Desirable treasure and oil are in the dwelling of the wise, But a foolish man swallows it up.”
Who are the Foolish Virgins? First of all in the parable of the 10 virgins, please note that they are ALL virgins & ALL hear the Bridegroom’s (Messiah’s) call. Yet, we are informed that the foolish virgins are actually self righteous, evil workers of iniquity (lawlessness). How do we know this about these foolish virgins?
Yahshua informed his disciples that he will tell those foolish virgins who know of him, but do not truly know him, “…Verily I say unto you, I know you not” Matt 25:12.
When we precept that saying with what Yahshua informed about those he will tell, that he doesn’t know them, we learn this,
“Many will say to me in that day, Adonai, Adonai, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (Anomia G458: transgression of the Law)” Matt 7:22-23.
Obviously these foolish virgins are perpetrators, having only a form of righteousness, but do not know the Messiah, nor have they properly prepared themselves for the Messiah’s coming. They are aware of the Messiah and do hear his call. Yet, they find themselves without enough oil and end up fumbling in the dark.
Concerning this apostle Shaul stated, “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth” 2 Tim 3:5-7.
It is obvious that one is given true wisdom from above, to discern critical spiritual things. The key to wisdom is in humbling oneself before the Creator, then acknowledging and fearing (respect and reverence) His HaShem (reputation, name).
What is the lamp and light of the virgins, and how do the wise keep their lamps lit?
In order to answer those questions one must break down in detail, the symbolism of Messiah’s parable concerning the wise vs foolish virgins, as well as the parable of the sand vs the rock. As such, I am going to carefully examine the symbolism. That way, we can all reflect and determine the spirit we are operating in. While there is still time if one is operating in the spirit of the fool, one must repent and make corrections utilizing wisdom.
In order to truly understand what is happening to those around us and ourselves, we need to be knowledgeable concerning the human body and how it relates to the spirit of wisdom. Therefore I’m going to briefly lay out the basic construct of mankind. For a detailed breakdown, watch, “War is Upon Us PT 1: Are You Ready?” Or read my article, “War is Upon Us.”
Brief of Mankind’s Construct:
Mankind has been given by the MOST HIGH, His breath of life (Neshamah H5397, Chay H2416), a spirit (ruach H7307), a mind (leb H3820), and for it all to go into, a living body (H5315 Nephesh).
Man’s breath (H5397) of life (2416) and body (H5315): “And YHVH Alohim formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” H5315 Gen 2:7.
Man’s spirit (H7307): Yob 27:3, “All the while my breath (neshamah H5397) is in me, and the spirit (ruach H7307) of Alohim is in my nostrils”
Man’s mind (H3820): Gen 17:17, “Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his mind (H3820, not heart), Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?”
King Solomon, in his granted wisdom acknowledged that all fleshly bodies return to the grown. However, when the flesh of adam/man dies, man’s spirit goes upward unlike the spirit of beasts which go downward,
“All are going to one place – all came from the dust, and all return to dust.
21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, which goes down to the earth?” Ecc 3:20-21.
Now, stand in awe as you grasp the reality that, the very breath (not ruach, but neshamah H5397 wind, breath, inspiration) the Creator has given to each human being acts as a lamp, candle, which the Heavenly Father utilizes to search the inner most thoughts of a person.
“The neshamah (breath H5397) of man is the candle (H5216 lamp) of YHVH, searching all the inward parts of the belly (H990 within)” Prov 20:27.
The light of one’s candle/lamp is either that of the Father (John 8:12) or the darkness of Satan, the Adversary. That means, one’s spirit & one’s actions are guided by the MOST HIGH, or Satan.
1 John Rom 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of Alohim, they are the sons (G5207: kin, child, son) of Alohim.”
1 John 4:6, “We are of Alohim: he that knows Alohim hears us; he that is not of Alohim hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of Truth, and the spirit of error.”
The Father has also warned that if one serves Him with a willing mind that He will be ever present. However if one forsakes Him, the Father will reject, cast that person off. The following is more appropriately written as it should have been via the Hebrew language.
1 Chron 28:9, “And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the Alohim of thy Father, and serve Him with a whole (H8003 shalem) mind (H3820 leb) and with a willing soul, body (H5315 nephesh): for the YHVH searches all minds (H3820 lebab), and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek Him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off for ever.”
Now one must question, “When YAH looks at my ruach (spirit) w/in my fleshly body (nephesh), does He see a lit candle/lamp illuminating me with His light, or does He see the Adversary’s darkness? To answer that one must ask, what gives light to one’s lamp?
Via Proverbs 6:23, one of the books of wisdom, King Solomon provided the answer to that very question when he stated, “For the mitzvah (commandments, terms H4687) is a lamp (H5216); and the Torah (instruction, Law H8451) is light (H216); and reproofs (H8433) of discipline (H4148) are the way (H1870) of life:” Prov 6:23.
Lamp = Commandments
Torah (Law, Instruction) = Light
Reproofs (correction, reasoning, rebuke) of Disciple = the Way of Life
So exactly what does all that mean? Let’s turn on the light!
Messiah stated, “…I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12
He also stated, “….I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…” John 14:6.
So the wise know that, Yahshua Messiah is 1. the light, 2. reproofs of discipline which is “the Way of Life, and also note that, 3. The Lamp contains commandments!
Yes, commandments are mandates of the New Covenant given to Messiah of the Father. The New Covenant is not a grace bound free fall of wickedness. It has rules! That is one’s reproof of discipline, as the New Covenant standard is higher than the old! Messiah stated, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” John 14:15.
Father’s love is conditional, not unconditional as most erroneously teach, which lead people away, not to, the Father. Messiah informed that even he is not above commands, as he must be obedient to the Father, “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in His love” John 15:10.
Now, let’s go even deeper with Father’s wisdom and look at the parables we went over and add some much needed oil to our lamps:
Detailed Breakdown of the Symbolism:
Parable of the 10 Virgins (Matt 25:1-13)
Messiah informs the hearer, “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes” Matt 25:13.
1. What does it mean “to watch?” Via the Hebrew, watch (Tsaphah H6822) means to peer, observe, be mindful (of one’s actions & that of others). Remaining watchful also requires one to stay connected to the Father via prayer, fasting, meditation, reading & doing His Word, & helping others as led by the Father.
2. What does the oil represent? Father’s RUACH HaQadosh. His Pure, Set Apart SPIRIT.
His Pure SPIRIT and the Light (YAH’s Living Word) go hand in hand. The Pure Oil that Father’s SPIRIT is, lights up His Living Word within a person. This Pure Oil/SPIRIT not only seals one until the day of redemption, it also helps one to understand and obey the Living Word of the MOST HIGH. For a deep understanding on this see my vids, The Living Word Parts 1-4.
So, understand that, without Father’s oil, His Pure SPIIRT, the Word is meaningless to a person and one remains in darkness. That means one can recite or preach the Word, but will never truly understand it nor live it out as it should be (1 Cor 2:14). This person would be considered a foolish virgin, ever learning never able to come to the knowledge of Father’s Truth (John 17:17).
3. What does the lamp represent? The lamp that ALL the virgins (both wise & foolish) have is the spirit of mankind w/in the vessel of the body (soul, flesh, nephesh). Now remember, we learned earlier that one should have commandments in one’s lamp. That means that if you are a wise virgin, you contain commandments within your Lamp (spirit) (see Prov 6:23, Matt 5:15-16).
Is your lamp burning bright like a wise virgin?
We see the foreshadowing of that pure spiritual oil, aka RUACH, needed for eternal light in Exod 27:20, “And thou shalt command the children of Yashar’al, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.”
Now let’s examine how the oil works with the light:
4. What is the light that illuminates the lamp? The light that illuminates the lamp or the vessel of mankind, we now know is Yahshua Messiah, The Living Word of YAH. Also note that the light, Yahshua Messiah, sends forth the oil, Father’s Set Apart SPIRIT.
“Yahuchanon answered, saying unto them all, I indeed immerse (baptize) you with water; but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall immerse you with the RUACH HaQadosh and with fire” Luke 3:16.
Those considered foolish virgins, as Yahshua spoke of in his parable of the 10 virgins, do not have enough oil, that is they have not formed a solid relationship with, nor are they sealed with Father’s Set Apart Spirit (RUACH HaQadosh). The foolish virgins may speak of but when it comes down to it, they actually deny the Power of the MOST HIGH. They truly don’t believe in the Creator’s Power to sustain them, make all things new and after death, resurrect them. Their faith is not stable, it waivers.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” 2 Tim 3:5.
Matt 13:21, “Yet has he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the Word, by and by he is offended.”
Remember, man’s Neshamah (breath) = a candle/lamp that YAH uses to search him/her out. Thus, being the foolish virgins they are, their light within them (that is, the Word of the MOST HIGH) goes out and they stumble in darkness. That in-turn, results in confusion, delusion and despair.
All candles/lamps need light or one dwells in darkness
Mankind’s source of light = Torah (Instruction)
“…the Torah (instruction, Law)H8451 is light;…” Prov 6:23.
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, full of favor and Truth” John 1:14.
That Light which is Instruction = King Yahshua Messiah (John 8:12).
When Father searches someone He sees the light that He gave to mankind (the Bridegroom’s light), or He sees the Adversary’s darkness. So, since one’s lamp must stay lit in order to remain prepared for the Bridegroom, that means that one must be and remain lit with the light of the Bridegroom himself, he whom bears our life.
“In him was life; and the life was the light of men” John 1:4.
Messiah is the life and the light mankind needs to pass YAH’s inspection in order to inherit eternal life, “…I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.
What is the Origin of Wisdom (Kokhmah)?
Sirach 24:1-3, “Wisdom praises herself, and tells of her esteem in the midst of her people.
2 In the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth, and in the presence of His hosts she tells of her esteem:
3 ‘I came forth from the mouth of the MOST HIGH, and covered the earth like a mist.’”
Wisdom informs us that she came forth from the MOST HIGH. She further instructs the wise on where she dwells. This is why it is important to know exactly who Father’s true chosen people are. Verses 6-9, “Over waves of the sea, over all the earth, and over every people and nation I have held sway,
7 Among all these I sought a resting place; in whose territory should I abide?
8 Then the Creator of all things gave me a command, and my Creator chose the place for my tent. He said, ‘Make your dwelling in Yacob, and in Yashar‘al (Yisrael) receive your inheritance.’
9 Before the ages, in the beginning, He created me, and for all the ages I shall not cease to be.”
So Father’s wisdom dwells with His true chosen people and that hasn’t changed, and I’m going to affirm verse 2 below, as it was more properly translated via the Greek,
Romans 3:1-2, “What advantage then has the Yahudim? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2 Much every way: chiefly, (G4412) indeed, (G3303) because that unto them were committed, put in trust with, (G4100) the oracles of Alohim.”
Oracles (G3051): Words or utterances
Dabar (H1697): Words, oracles, utterances, sayings, advice, answer, tidings
Let’s get a Scripture witness from King David, Psa 147:19-20, “He shows His Word unto Yacob (Jacob), His statutes and His judgments unto Yashar’al (Yisrael).
20 He has not dealt so with any nation: and as for His judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye YHVH.”
Let’s get a final Scripture reference from apostle Shaul, Rom 9:4, “Who is Yashar’al; to whom pertains the adoption, and the esteem, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah (Instruction, Law), and the service of Alohim, and the promises;”
Now let me draw your attention to the verses where people who listen to teachers and pastors who don’t know what they are talking about, stumble all over Shaul’s letters, because they are unlearnt, many of whom, Father’s Word IS NOT entrusted.
Verses 24-26, “Even us, whom He has called, not of the Yahudim only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As He saith also in Osee (Hosea), ‘I will call them My people, which were not My people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people; there shall they be called the children of the Living Alohim.’”
Shaul was not referencing a spiritual Yashar’al, just that other nations are also loved of our Father. What Shaul stated in verses 25 and 26 above, is a reference to Father’s chosen people having previously been cut off due to their disobedience as prophesied by the Prophet Hosea (1:10 & 2:23). Yet Father is merciful and is redeeming a remnant as quoted by Shaul via the prophecy of the Prophet Isaiah.
Rom 9:27, “Esaias (Isaiah) also cried concerning Yashar’al (Yisrael), Though the number of the children of Yashar’al be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved”
Precept Isa 10:22, “For though thy people Yashar’al be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.”
What I just showed can be done with every single Scripture verse false teachers and preachers knowingly or unknowingly use to teach the doctrine of a spiritual Yashar’al. Therefore, contrary to false teachings, there is no spiritual Yashar’al (Yisrael). One body made up of those of many nations yes, but no spiritual Yashar’al. The true seed of Yacob whom are called & chosen, are still responsible for the Word of the MOST HIGH YAH, not another nation, and certainly not A.I.
Rom 9:4, “Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the Covenants, and the giving of the Torah (Law), and the service of Alohim, and the promises”
If you are looking at the wrong people or thing for real wisdom, the signs of Messiah’s coming, and those to bestow berakah not cursing upon; you will end up being cursed and led to eternal damnation.
Gen 27:29, “Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be master over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curses thee, and beruk be he that beruk (blesses) thee.”
1 John 5:3, “By this we know that we love the children of Alohim, when we love Alohim and guard His commands.”
Rev 3:9, “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Yahudim, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship (G4352 prostrate, adore) before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
Just remember, even when you acknowledge who the true chosen people are, being born of the seed of Yacob doesn’t make them chosen, just called. The fruit (not the lip service) will reveal what spirit they are operating in; that of the Father or that of the Adversary. Also keep in mind; you are to be following Father’s Living Word, the Good Shepherd, not people. If something someone does or states does not line up with Father’s Word, stop drinking from that person’s cup and stop your ears from the word witchcraft they are vomiting from their wicked lips. That means you must also know what Father’s Word says and use discernment. The objective is to grow spiritually, but not at the expense of defiling YAH’s Temple, whose temple you are to be. Guard your mind, because there are a lot of false teachers and pastors not just amongst Father’s true chosen people, but also amongst all nations under the sun. Many are self righteous and self servings. Others are outright, agents of Satan. So again, I state, beware to whom you lend your time, ears and eyes!
Next, I’ll break down Messiah’s Parable of the Sand versus the Rock (Matt 7:24-27).
What is this Rock, not sand, one must build his house upon? Yahshua Messiah. The solid, sure foundation, cornerstone the builders rejected. Yahshua is the strength of Father’s House. If one does not build upon this Rock, one’s house will not stand, as Yahshua is the strength of the house of all those whom are wise.
Psa 118:22, “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.”
Luke 20:17, “And he (Yahshua) beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?”
Don’t put thy trust in the sand as most of it will perish. Place your trust in and obey the Rock Isa 10:22, “For though thy people Yashar’al be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.” As you can see, no matter who is speaking, your pastor, teacher, mother, father, grandparents, spouse, friend, etc.; if it doesn’t line up with Script, its all lip!
The parable of the sand versus rock reveals that one needs to have a sure spiritual and mental foundation. Sand alone cannot support any pressure, it is useless. Via his parable, Yahshua stated that those who build their houses upon sand are fools, sand cannot support them when tribulation occurs. Yahshua Messiah parallels fools who build their homes upon sand with those who hear but do not obey the Word of the MOST HIGH. Therefore the sand builders are hearers but are not doers of the Word. They reject “the Fountain of Wisdom” and are therefore counted as fools. Think about it; one’s house, is one’s body. If the mind within the body is not supported by the Rock we have in Messiah, it will succumb to that which is contrary to the Father; hopelessness, despair, the antichrist, the mark, image or number of the beast, and mind control to commit all kinds of unthinkable wickedness.
The wise build upon the Rock. A rock is sturdy, solid and strong. The Rock of the wise is Yahshua Messiah. The Mighty Rock that He is,
- Transforms the mind of the wise via the Torah which is, “The Fountain of Wisdom” (Prov 13:14, Rom 12:2)
- Purifies one before the MOST HIGH (John 15:3, Eph 5:25-26, Heb 10:22)
- Clothes one in righteousness (1 Cor 1:30, Rom 3:22-26, Rom 13:13-14, Gal 3:27, Eph 4:24, Rev 19:7-8)
- Gives the gift of the RUACH HaQadosh, the fruit of which enables one to stand firm through trials and tribulations (John 16:26, Eph 6:10-18)
- Is the Way to eternal life so one escapes the wrath of the MOST HIGH, and the depths of hell (Prov 15:24, John 14:6, John 10:27-30, Rom 5:19-21)
Prov 13:20, “He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”
Prov 15:24, “The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath” (Precept John 14:6).
Summary
The wise are distinguished from fools not because they have a wealth of intellect, but because they have humbled themselves like children and reverence the Father. As such, they have been given the power to ask the right questions, in order to unlock knowledge and understanding to acquire that which is righteous. Then they act on it and are therefore not “Lawless” (Torahless).
Lucas (Luke) 8:21, “And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the Word of Alohim, and do it.”
Prov 13:14, “The Torah (Law) of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.”
Fools are lawless, workers of iniquity according to Father’s standard, not man’s. They think everything they believe and do is right. Some also reject Yahshua Messiah, the Fountain of Wisdom. To their own detriment, they refuse the New Covenant, believing the New Testament Good News (gospel) is all made up. Others are outright stained in sin; believing they are hiding out under grace. They are foolish virgins having only a form of purity, their own. They hear but do not heed Father’s Fountain of Wisdom, His Living Word. Wise virgins are pure by Father’s standard. They constantly drink from His fountain of wisdom, filled to the brim with His Word and are sealed with His Pure, Set Apart SPIRIT.
Prov 12:15 “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkens unto counsel is wise.”
Unlike the foolish, who seek that which is right via their own eyes, the wise seek that which is right via Father’s eyes, as Messiah Himself is within the wise.
Rev 5:6, “And I looked and saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Alohim sent out into all the earth.”
What are the seven eyes of the Lamb, which are the Spirits of Alohim from which the wise discern spiritual things and bring forth fruit of the RUACH?
“And the spirit of YHVH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHVH” Isa 11:2.
- Spirit (RUACH HaQadosh) of YHVH
- Spirit of Wisdom
- Spirit of Understanding
- Spirit of Counsel
- Spirit of Might
- Spirit of Knowledge
- Spirit of the Fear of the MOST HIGH
Fools are void of the Lamb’s eyes. They are hearers but not doers of Father’s Word. They reject the Fountain of Wisdom that would cover them in righteousness and give them eternal life.
Matt 13:41-43, “The Son of man shall send forth his malakim (angels), and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do transgress the Law (G458 iniquity, lawless);
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. …Who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
All those who do not heed Father’s Word are fools destined for His wrath. I want you to note also that just as Father rewards those of His own nation before He rewards the Gentiles, He also punishes those of His own nation, before He punishes the Gentiles; proving once again that there is no spiritual Yashar’al. Yet, whom He preordained for eternal life before the foundation of the world, He loves all nations that love Him.
Rom 2:8-10, “but wrath and displeasure to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the Truth, but obey unrighteousness;
9 Affliction and distress on every human being working what is evil, of the Yahudim first, and also of the Gentile
10 But esteem, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Yahudim first, and also to the Gentile”
1 Keepha (Peter) 4:17, “Because it is time for judgment to begin from the House of Alohim. And if firstly from us, what is the end of those who do not obey the Good News of Alohim?”
Whether Hebrew or Gentile, be wise. Don’t just hear the Bridegroom’s call, act on it! Humble yourself and ask the Father for His kokhmah (wisdom). It is only then that you will have enough RUACH (Oil) in your vessel (lamp), filling you with the Word of YAH (light) to illuminate your path to enter the Door.
The Foolish Virgins understand only the carnal things. Void of Father’s Set Apart SPIRIT, they are unable to discern that which is spiritual. When Messiah comes to gather those that are of the Father, the foolish will stumble in the dark. Although they will hear his call, they will not be able to find Him as they are not truly a part of His sheepfold. Those who do not obey Yahshua’s commands will not be permitted to enter the kingdom.
Please Be Advised & Take Heed!!!
Spiritually, the cry to go out to meet the Bridegroom has already occurred! We have been called to go to the Light, which is Yahshua Messiah.
Yahshua Messiah is the Light, John 8:12, “Then spake Yahshua again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
As Yahshua Messiah is the light, those that are wise have already heard the cry and have gone out to meet him, as he is the light within the wise.
The call/cry, John 3:19-21, “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that does Truth (John 17:17) comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in Alohim.”
The Light which has met and is abiding within the wise virgins, John 14:21, “He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” Has Yahshua Messiah manifested himself to you?
Verse 23, “Yahshua answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my Words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
Scripture has revealed that spiritually, the wise have already heard the cry and with enough oil (RUACH HaQadosh) in their vessels (bodies) have already met the Bridegroom. As such, they are not stumbling in the dark but are filled with his light! The foolish virgins cannot find the Bridegroom. Their path is not lit by Yahshua Messiah, the Living Word of the MOST HIGH.
“… Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path” Psa 119:105 (Prov 6:23).
The Word Revealed:
“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called
The Word of Alohim” Rev 19:13.
The foolish stumble in the dark because not truly knowing the Light, their minds have been hijacked by the Adversary, “But if our Besorah (gospel) be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the esteemed Besorah of Messiah, who is the image of Alohim, should shine unto them” 2 Cor 4:3-4.
Soon the open door will shut forever and all those considered foolish and less than fools, will suffer in darkness for eternity because they did not truly accept nor heed the Light of the world. In addition, looking at the foolish virgins from the spiritual aspect: These are they whom are not properly dressed for the wedding (Matt 22:11-14). When inspected they will not have Father’s seal (His SPIRIT), nor have they washed in His Living Word, and are therefore not in the proper wedding attire. When they enter the spiritual or physical wilderness, they will be cut down like the pretenders they truly are. Like almost all those of the 1st exodus, they will never see the Promised Land (Num 14:29-30, Ezek 20:35-38).
I will leave you with one final thought. Wisdom should not be sought for the ultimate goal of making it into Father’s Kingdom. Making it into His Kingdom is a perk; it’s not the end goal. The end goal should be eternal life in complete unity, joy and shalom with one’s Creator.
Prov 3:13-18, “Beruk (blessed) is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou can desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and beruk is every one that retains her.”
