WISDOM THAT DWELLS
Exodus 36:1-2
“Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the men who Yahweh endowed with the skill and knowledge to know how to carry out all the work to be done on the sanctuary, WILL DO EXACTLY AS YAHWEH HAS ORDERED. Moshe then summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled men whose HEARTS YAHWEH ENDOWED WITH SKILL, ALL WHOSE HEART STIRRED THEM TO COME FORWARD AND DO THE WORK.”
Numbers 11:16-17, 24-29
“16 Yahweh said to Moshe, 'Collect me seventy of the elders of Israel, men you know to be the people's elders and scribes. Bring them to the Tent of Meeting, and let them stand beside you there. 17 I shall come down and talk to you there and shall take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them. Then they will bear the burden of the people with you, and you will no longer have to bear it on your own.”
24 Moshe went out and told the people what Yahweh had said. Then he collected seventy of the people's elders and stationed them round the Tent. 25 Yahweh descended in the cloud. He spoke to him and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. When the spirit came on them they prophesied -- but only once.
26 Two men had stayed back in the camp; one was called Eldad and the other Medad. The spirit came down on them; though they had not gone to the Tent, their names were enrolled among the rest. These began to prophesy in the camp. 27 A young man ran to tell Moshe this. 'Look,' he said, 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.' 28 Joshua son of Nun, who had served Moshe since he was a boy, spoke up and said, 'My lord Moshe, stop them!' 29 Moshe replied, 'Are you jealous on my account? If only all Yahweh's people were prophets, and Yahweh had given them his spirit!'
(Note: Eldad means- EL HAS LOVED. Medad means- Loving, affectionate.)
Numbers 27:15-18
“15 Moshe then said to Yahweh, 16 'May it please Yahweh, Elohim of the spirits that give life to all living creatures, to appoint a leader for this community, 17 to be at their head in all their undertakings, a man who will lead them out and bring them in, so that Yahweh's community will not be like sheep without a shepherd.' 18 Yahweh then said to Moshe, 'Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom the spirit dwells, and lay your hand on him.”
Deuteronomy 34:9
“Joshua son of Nun was FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM, for Moshe had laid his hands on him, and him the Israelites obeyed, carrying out the order which Yahweh had given to Moshe.”
King Shalomon
1 Kings 3:28
“All Israel came to hear of the judgement which the King had pronounced and HELD THE KING IN AWE, RECOGNIZING THAT HE POSSESSED DIVINE WISDOM, for DISPENSING JUSTICE.”
1 Kings 5:9/KJV 4:29
“Elohim gave Shalomon IMMENSE WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING, and a HEART as vast as the sand on the sea-shore.”
1 Kings 10:8-9
“….How fortunate these courtiers of yours, continually in attendance on you and LISTENING TO YOUR WISDOM! Blessed be YAHWEH YOUR ELOHIM who has SHOWN YOU HIS FAVOR, by SETTING YOU ON THE THRONE OF ISRAEL! Because of YAHWEH’S EVERLASTING LOVE FOR ISRAEL, he had made you KING to administer LAW and JUSTICE.”
King Yahoshua
Luke 2:40+52
“And as he child grew to maturity, HE WAS FILLED WITH WIDSOM; and ELOHIMS FAVOR WAS WITH HIM.”
“And Yahoshua INCREASED IN WISDOM, in stature, and IN FAVOUR with ELOHIM, and with people.”
Luke 4:1
“Filled with the HOLY SPIRIT, Yahoshua left the Jordan and was LED BY THE SPIRIT into the desert.”
Luke 10:21-22
Just at this time, FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, he said, ‘ I bless you, Father Master of Heaven and of Earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever, and revealing them to little children. Yes Father, for that is what it has pleased you to do. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED TO ME BY MY FATHER; and no one knows who the Son is EXCEPT THE FATHER, and who the Father is EXCEPT THE SON, AND THOSE TO WHOM THE SON CHOOSES TO REVEAL HIM.”
Matthew 11:18-19
“For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He is possessed.’ The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ Yet WISDOM IS JUSTIFIED BE HER DEEDS.”
Mark 6:2
“With the coming of the Sabbath, he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of them were astonished when the heard him. They said, ‘Where did the man get all this? What is this WISDOM that has been GRANTED HIM, and these miracles that are WORKED THROUGH HIM?”
Words of Wisdom
Luke 8:11-15
“11 'This, then, is what the parable means: the SEED is the WORD OF ELOHIM. 12 Those on the edge of the path are people who have heard it, and then the devil comes and carries away the WORD from their HEARTS in case they should believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rock are people who, when they first hear it, welcome the WORD with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of trial they give up. 14 As for the part that fell into thorns, this is people who have heard, but as they go on their way they are choked by the worries and riches and pleasures of life and never produce any crops. 15 As for the part in the rich soil, this is people with a noble and generous HEART who have heard the WORD, and take it to themselves and yield a harvest through their perseverance.”
Proverbs 14:33
“WISDOM RESIDES IN AN UNDERSTANDING HEART;”
Help from Paul in 1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians 1:30+2:7
“It is by HIM (Yahweh) that you exist, in Messiah Yahoshua, who for us was MADE WISDOM from ELOHIM.”
“It is of the mysterious WISDOM OF ELOHIM that we talk, the WISDOM that was hidden, which ELOHIM PREDESTINED TO BE FOR OUR GLORY, BEFORE THE AGES BEGAN.”
1 Corinthians 2:10-12
“to us, though, ELOHIM has given revelation THROUGH THE SPIRIT, for the SPIRIT explores the depths of everything, even the DEPTHS OF ELOHIM. After all, is there anyone who knows the qualities of anyone, except his own SPIRIT with him; and in the SAME WAY, nobody knows the qualities of ELOHIM EXCEPT THE SPIRIT OF ELOHIM. Now, the SPIRIT we have received is not the Spirit of the World, but ELOHIM’S OWN SPIRIT, so that we may UNDERSTAND the lavish gifts Elohim has given us.”
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
“There are many different gifts, but it is ALWAYS THE SAME SPIRIT; there are many different ways of serving, but it is ALWAYS THE SAME MASTER. There are many different forms of activity, but IN EVERYBODY, IT IS THE SAME ELOHIM, WHO IS AT WORK IN THEM ALL.”
1 Corinthians 15:27-28
“But when it is said everything is subjected, this OBVIOUSLY CANNOT INCLUDE THE ONE, WHO SUBJECTED EVERYTHING TO HIM. When everything has been subjected to him, THEN THE SON HIMSELF, WILL BE SUBJECTED TO THE ONE WHO HAS SUBJECTED EVERYTHING TO HIM, so that ELOHIM MAY BE IN ALL.”
The object of this study, is to see the parallels between people in the Old Testament, and the New Testament. It is clear, that Wisdom is Spirit, as well as the Word of Yahweh Elohim. It is clear, that Yahweh gives his Spirit to us, and we then perform his will (hopefully!)
Yahoshua Messiah, is Wisdom filled, and is able to administer justice, as King Shalomon. He is able to be wise, and find favour with his Creator. We, as followers of Messiah, are in the same boat! Where our Heart is, means everything! Wisdom is justified, by her DEEDS~
There is much more, that could be applied to this study. But…..many do not want to be overloaded with Scriptures, all at once. (Me too!) I hope you study these verses well, and look into this subject more. It is clear that Messiah was filled with Spirit, and this does not mean that Messiah, was Yahweh Elohim! We need to worship Yahweh as our CREATOR, and Messiah as our KING!!!!
