What Does Proverbs Say For Today Part 15 

Creation

“The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens; by His knowledge the depths were broken up, and clouds drop down the dew. ‘I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge and discretion. The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, before His works of old. I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth; while as yet He had not made the earth or the fields (outer places), or the primal dust (Lit. beginning of the dust) of the world. When He prepared the heavens, I was there, when He drew a circle on the face of the deep, when He established the clouds above, when He strengthened the fountains of the deep, when He assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters would not transgress His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside Him as a master craftsman (a Jewish tradition one brought up) ; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him, rejoicing in His inhabited world, and my delight was with the sons of men.’ The Lord has made all for Himself, yes, even the wicked for the day of doom (Lit. evil). The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both.” (Proverbs 3:19-20; 8:12, 22-31; 16:4; 20:12)

 

Genesis 1:1,26a, “In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. Then GOD said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;’” John tells us that JESUS is the Living Word as seen in the chapter The Word, and that He made all things that exist. As seen in the chapter Living Wisdom, Wisdom is one of the seven SPIRITS that always stand before the LORD. Solomon, as the man that GOD gave more wisdom to than any other (Ecclesiastes 1:12-17), understood that the SPIRIT of Wisdom watched and assisted GOD during the creation. Isaiah says in Isaiah 42:5, “Thus says GOD the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it, and SPIRIT to those who walk on it;”

Nothing exists except that GOD made it, that means the devil and therefore evil. Paul teaches in Romans 9:22, “What if GOD, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction.” Repeating what King David said in, Psalms 86:5,15, “For You, LORD are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. But You, O LORD, are a GOD full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.” Peter says it most clearly in 2 Peter 3:9, ”The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us (NU you), not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Creation is about redemption! “And all on earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of The LAMB slain before the foundation of the world.” “Father,  I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My Glory which You have given Me; for You Loved Me before the foundation of the world.”

(Revelation 13:8; John 17:24) Also study Genesis 1-2; Job 26:5-14, Psalm 104:5, 24-26; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:14-20; Isaiah 11:2, 43:7; Romans 9:14-24; 11:34-36; Revelations 4:8-11.

If you do not believe that GOD created everything that exists just as the Bible reveals it then you cannot believe that CHRIST was crucified before the foundation of the earth was laid. Therefore you cannot believe in the salvation gift of GOD to man through JESUS CHRIST; therefore you are condemned to the lake of fire for eternity; which was created for the devil and the fallen angels (Matthew 25:41). Study 1 Peter 1:17-21.

 

To avoid the lake of fire and have your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life study Romans 10:8-11, “But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the LORD JESUS and believe in your heart that GOD has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.’”

 

No matter what you want to believe there is only one GOD, JEHOVAH the GOD of the Jewish and CHRISTian faith and there is only one way to avoid eternal damnation in the lake of fire. That is through believing in and confessing JESUS CHRIST is the Son of GOD and that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, willingly went to the cross to die for our sins, took our punishment and went to hell where He defeated death and hell, taking the keys of their kingdoms. That He by the Power of His Own SPIRIT (The HOLY SPIRIT) rose from the grave and ascended to Heaven to be seated at the right hand of GOD.
