BIBLE STUDY PROVERBS 1:23-26 #6
PROVERBS 1:22-27 NEW KING JAMES VERSION
22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge.
23 Turn at my rebuke; surely I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.
24 Because I have called and you refused,I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you disdained all my counsel, and would have none of my rebuke,
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
These words are for the Children of YHWH, they are for the people who call themselves Believers. ““How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?” This what the New Testament says:
Today’s Believers, not all, can’t even teach their children. They are fed milk messages also known as: Messages of Encouragement, Motivating Messages, or Positive Words. These weekly words are for babies, aka immature Believers. Babies need protection from hard times, we should be able to handle the trials that are around us but many cannot.
HEBREWS 5:12-14 KING JAMES VERSION
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?” Solomon is not talking about loving “simplicity” as In living a modest lifestyle. He is referring to Believers lack of desire to seek more knowledge. That verse, twenty-two, ends with: “Fools hate knowledge”.
Heres a verse I quote quite a bit:
2 TIMOTHY 3:16 THE EXPANDED BIBLE
All Scripture is ·inspired by God [breathed out by God; L- God-breathed] and is useful for teaching, for ·showing people what is wrong in their lives [refuting error; rebuking], for correcting faults, and for ·teaching how to live right [training in righteousness].
YHWH’s word is necessary to teach: point out errors, correct and educate us on how to live. This is important because it is written: “In the world you will have tribulation” (John 16:33); we are going to have problems like the Wuhan Virus and we should be able to deal with it.
Today’s Believer’s did not reject all knowledge, just the stuff that they did not want to hear. Pastors do not preach against: homosexuality, abortion, spousal or child abuse, drug addictions and such because people don’t want to hear it- they may give it a casual quick mention but nothing with any meat on it.
I believe, a Nettie-ism if you will, YHWH removed his hands off of America and allowed the virus to plague this nation and the world. We had to be reminded of what it is like to not be in His presence.
As Solomon speaks YHWH speaks and He, God, says: “Because you disdained all my counsel,
and would have none of my rebuke, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, when your terror comes like a storm, and your destruction comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.” Is the Creator laughing at us? Yes!
- Look at you! Running around with mask on afraid of a virus that Jesus died so you would not have!
- Look at you! Running to the government for help when God can supply all of your needs.
- Look at you! Afraid to die of a disease you do not have, YHWH did not give you a spirit of fear!
- Look at your church leaders. The doors of the church are closed because the government said to close them not God.
Are you tired of the chaos yet? Verse 23 of this study says we should have turned, we should have repented, when the virus first came. Instead people ran to the store to stock up on supplies and hand sanitizer. Are you at verse 27 yet? “…When distress and anguish come upon you.”
We serve a merciful God. He loves us despite us!
PROVERBS 1:28 NEW KING JAMES VERSION
28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
Unfortunately, there are consequences to our actions.
