Wisdom, knowledge and discipline are prerequisites for understanding our relationship with Elohim. Psalm 111 is one of thanksgiving and its final verse let’s us know what the beginning of “Wisdom” is. It is the Fear of Father Yeshayahna which can be a propellant for us to search The Scriptures for “Wisdom” to shape our understanding and to develop the characteristics required to love and worship Elohim in Spirit and Truth.

Psa 111:1-10 Praise Yah! I thank Yeshayahna with all my heart, In the company of the straight, and of the congregation. 2 Great are the works of Yeshayahna, Searched for by all who delight in them. 3 Splendor and greatness are His work, And His righteousness stands forever. 4 He has made His wonders to be remembered; Yeshayahna shows favor and is compassionate. 5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever. 6 He has shown His people the power of His works, To give to them the inheritance of the gentiles. 7 The works of His hands are truth and right-ruling, All His orders are trustworthy, 8 They are upheld forever and ever, Performed in truth and straightness. 9 He sent redemption to His people, He has commanded His covenant forever. Set-apart and awesome is His Name. 10 The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, All those doing them have a good understanding. His praise is standing forever.

Wisdom, Fear, Knowledge, Discipline leading to Understanding the Set-Apart One are core subjects covered in the Scroll of Proverbs. In today’s world of Christianity Proverbs is a Scroll that is very much overlooked. A few one liners set the stage for what will ultimately be a study in Divine Feminine Wisdom.

(Pro 1:7)  The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and discipline.

(Pro 3:7) Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear Yeshayahna and turn away from evil.

(Pro 9:10) The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding.

(Pro 23:17) Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be in the fear of Yeshayahna all day long;

(Pro 28:14) Blessed is the man who always fears Elohim, But he who hardens his heart falls into evil.

In a world molded by Satan it is difficult to discern what is wise in the eyes of Elohim. Satan has turned the world into a globe depraved of Scriptural moral standards. Each nation’s sins are readily accessible on the internet and “Wisdom” found in The Scriptures has been replaced by the technologies of the world that bring sin and depravity into each of our homes. Each succeeding generation consumes Satan’s wisdom and turns its back on The Scriptures and especially the trampled back of Yashayahnah Messiah who was impaled for the sins of the world.

There are nearly seven billion strangers on the planet today each of whom is to be considered a brother or sister. There will be a Day of Reckoning for many brothers and sisters at the White Throne Judgment. Noah was a fore shadow of a judgment journey in separation. Father Yeshayahna pronounced judgment on the world and told Noah to build an Ark to save his family and bring along a personal zoo and some domestic animals. People around Noah thought he was crazy but when judgment came upon the earth in the form of a flood; only those on the Ark survived. The rainbow promise

of Father Yeshayahna guarantees we won’t face a world wide flood again but the prophetic Day of Father Yeshayahna has us facing a host of terrors and an immersion of fire the next time judgment comes around. Those of us who have no fear and trample all over the scoured back of Messiah Yashayahnah by deliberately sinning with foreknowledge are going to have a fearsome day in front of Elohim.

Heb 10:26-31 For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, 27 but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents. 28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think shall one deserve who has trampled the Descendant of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which She was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favour? 30 For we know Her who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says Yashayahnah.” And again, “Yashayahnah shall judge Her people.” 31 It is fearsome to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.

Those with wisdom in their heart know their is a tribulation on the way. Noah’s Ark was never found so there is a new Ark we all have the opportunity to board with strangers. Let’s call it the Ark of the Guiding Light of Feminine Wisdom. In time we will sail it from City to City hoping to learn to love one another the way Elohim expects us to.

See the dark night has come down on us
The world is living in it’s dream
But now we know that
We can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
The time has come

To trust that guiding light
And leaving all the rest behind
We’ll take the road that
Leads down to the waterside
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way

And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known

If you travel blindly
If you fall
The truth is there to set you free
And when your heart
Can see just one thing in this life
We’ll set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.

And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known.

See the dark night has come down on us
The world is living in its dream
But now we know that
We can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.

And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known.

Let’s name our ship “Sister Wisdom of Elohim” and begin our look at “Wisdom” in the Messianic Scriptures. Yashayahnah Messiah at twelve years old held court amazing the teachers in the Set-Apart Place. As She grew older more and more people were astonished at Her “Wisdom” and “Miracles”.

Luk 2:40-52 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom. And the favour of Elohim was upon Her. 41 And Her parents went to Yerushalayim every year at the Festival of the Passover. 42 And when She was twelve years old, they went up to Yerushalayim according to the practice of the festival. 43 When they had accomplished the days, as they returned, the Child Yashayahnah stayed behind in Yerushalayim. And Her parents did not know it, 44 but thinking She was in the company, they went a day’s journey, and were seeking Her among the relatives and friends. 45 And not having found Her, they returned to Yerushalayim, seeking Her. 46 And it came to be, after three days, that they found Her in the Set-apart Place, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Her were astonished at Her understanding and answers. 48 And having seen Her, they were amazed. And Her mother said to Her, “Child, why have You done this to us? See, Your father and I have been anxiously seeking You.” 49 And She said to them, “Why were you seeking Me? Did you not know that I had to be in the matters of My Father?” 50 But they did not understand the word which She spoke to them. 51 And She went down with them and came to Natsareth, and was subject to them, but Her mother kept all these matters in her heart. 52 And Yashayahnah increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with Elohim and men.

Mar 6:2 And Sabbath having come, She began to teach in the congregation. And many who heard Her were astonished, saying, “Where did She get all this? And what wisdom is this which is given to Her, that such miracles are done through Her hands?

Later on in the Messianic Scriptures, the taught one Sha’ul in writing to the assembly of Corinth twice links Messiah Yashayahnah to the Wisdom of Elohim;

1Co 1:24-31 but to those who are called – both Yehuḏim and Greeks – Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim. 25 For the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than men, and the weakness of Elohim is stronger than men. 26 For look at your calling, brothers, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. 27 But Elohim has chosen the foolish matters of the world to put to shame the wise, and Elohim has chosen the weak of the world to put to shame the strong. 28 And Elohim has chosen the low-born of the world and the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones that are, 29 so that no flesh should boast in His presence. 30 And of Her you are in Messiah Yashayahnah, who became for us wisdom from Elohim, righteousness also, and set-apartness and redemption, 31 that, as it has been written, “Those who boasts, let them boast in Yashayahnah.”

In the same letter Sha’ul writes about “Wisdom” being hidden in a secret.

1Co 2:7-9 But we speak the wisdom of Elohim, which was hidden in a secret, and which Elohim ordained before the ages for our esteem, 8  which no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known, they would not have impaled the Master of esteem. 9 But as it has been written, “Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man what Elohim has prepared for those who love Him.”

It is very interesting to see a connection made between “Wisdom” and a “Secret” made in the letter above. A female Yashayahnah Messiah certainly fills that secret role.

Eph 3:8-11 To me, the very least of all the set-apart ones, this favor was given, to bring the Good News of the unsearchable riches of Messiah among the gentiles, 9 and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim who created all through Yashayahnah Messiah, 10 so that now, through the assembly, the many-sided wisdom of Elohim might be known to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies, 11 according to the everlasting purpose which He made in Messiah Yashayahnah our Master,

Our Ark will now journey through The Scroll of Proverbs as we continue our journey in wisdom. We need wisdom to prepare for and take our journey in life. “Wisdom” is personified by a woman in the Scroll and we will Title and Name Her “Yashayahnah Messiah Our Sister of Wisdom“.

Many of us who study scripture focus most of our time in the Messianic Scriptures. The Scroll of Proverbs provides additional wisdom unlocking a world of knowledge in instruction, understanding, counsel, advice to the young, discipline, righteous ruling and even hidden prophecy. All wisdom in Proverbs comes to us from the voice of the divine feminine, Our Sister. The Messianic Scripture tells us the only way to The Father is through Yashayahnah Messiah.

Joh 14:6  Yashayahnah said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Let us now take a look at the comments of two of many Bible Commentators who link Wisdom in Proverbs directly to The Messiah.

In John Gill’s exposition of The Bible he writes the following about Wisdom’s introduction in the first proverb found in the Scroll of Proverbs;

“Pro 1:20 Wisdom crieth without,…. Here the person instructing throughout this whole book is represented under the name of “Wisdom”; by which we are to understand not the attribute of divine wisdom displayed in the works of creation; nor the light of nature in man; nor the law of Moses given to the Israelites; nor the revelation of the divine will in general, as it is delivered out in the sacred Scriptures; nor the Gospel, and the ministry of it, in particular; but our Lord Jesus Christ; for the things spoken of Wisdom, and ascribed to it in this book, especially in the eighth and ninth chapters, show that a divine Person is intended, and most properly belong to Christ; who may be called “Wisdoms””

Through the Bible with Vernon McGee writes;

Wisdom in the Old Testament means Jesus Christ for the believer today. “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption” (1Co_1:30). Notice that wisdom is number one. Christ is the wisdom for the believer today. And to know wisdom is to know Jesus Christ…………
“..……Wisdom, therefore, is Christ. Wisdom is the ability to use our knowledge aright. To know Christ is not to play the fool; it is to be a wise man. I saw a bumper sticker the other day which read: “Wise men still seek Him.” Friend, you may not be brilliant, but when you receive Christ and come to know Christ, then you have wisdom.

We have no trouble whatsoever linking Wisdom in Proverbs to The Messiah. In fact we would be foolish not to make the connection. We will look at some verses reinforcing the Femininity of Wisdom and touch on a hidden prophecy.

In the 1st chapter of Proverbs, Wisdom (Yashayahnah Messiah) cries out to the simple (foolish) ones and scoffers who hate knowledge. Their fate is sealed and the ones who dwell in safety are those who listen to Her.

Pro 1:20-33 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the broad places. 21 At the head of the noisy streets she cries out, At the openings of the gates, In the city she speaks her words: 22 “How long, you simple ones, Would you love simplicity, And shall scoffers delight in their scoffing, And fools hate knowledge? 23 “Turn at my reproof. See, I pour out my spirit on you, I make my words known to you. 24 “Because I called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one inclined, 25 “And you spurned all my counsel, And would not yield to my reproof, 26 “Let me also laugh at your calamity, Mock when your dread comes, 27 “When your dread comes like a storm, And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. 28 “Let them then call on me, but I answer not; Let them seek me, but not find me. 29 “Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of Yeshayahna, 30 “They did not accept my counsel, They despised all my reproof, 31 “Therefore let them eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own counsels. 32 “For the turning away of the simple slays them, And the complacency of fools destroys them. 33 “But whoever listens to me dwells safely, And is at ease from the dread of evil.”

The 2nd chapter of Proverbs begins with encouragement to treasure the commands (guard the Ten Commandments and live them with the heart) and to dedicate our heart and ears (with our ability to read) to searching wisdom for hidden treasures.

Pro 2:1-5 My child, if you accept my words, And treasure up my commands with you, 2 So that you make your ear attend to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; 3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as hidden treasures, 5 Then you would understand the fear of Yeshayahna, And find the knowledge of Elohim.

What Yeshayahna says is true and reliable. His words are not tainted with deceit and false flattery but are fully dependable. His Words are refined like silver to perfection (seven times)

Psa 12:6 The Words of Yeshayahna are clean Words, Silver tried in a furnace of earth, Refined seven times

The Word came and lived amongst us.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and pitched Her tent1 among us, and we saw Her esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.
Footnote: 1An indication that Her birth was during the Festival of Booths.

We have connected Wisdom to The Word to The Messiah and it all comes together through the Divine Feminine.

In the 3rd chapter of Proverbs, The Messiah teaches us that knowledge gained is far greater than our wealth (silver, gold and rubies). We will be judged by The Yashayahnah Messiah and the length of our days is in Her hands. The Tree of Life which was taken away from us by the fall of Adam and Eve is restored to us through wisdom provided we take hold of Yashayahnah Messiah. We will only eat of the tree of life if we seek out wisdom and implement what we learn in our daily lives.

Pro 3:13-18 Blessed is the person who has found wisdom, And the person who gets understanding; 14 For the gain from it is better Than gain from silver, And its increase than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies, And all your delights are not comparable to her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand, Riches and esteem in her left hand. 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those taking hold of her, And blessed are all who retain her.

In the 7th chapter of Proverbs we are to acknowledge that Wisdom/The Messiah is our Sister. In the Messianic Scriptures, those who do the will/desire of Our Father are brothers, sisters and mothers of The Messiah.

Mat 12:47-50 And one said to Her, “See, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But She answering, said to the one who spoke to Her, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And having stretched out Her hand toward Her taught ones, She said, “See My mother and My brothers! 50 “For whoever does the desire of My Father who is in the heavens is My brother and sister and mother.”

The 7th chapter of Proverbs also introduces to us a prophecy. In this chapter we are introduced to an evil woman (symbolic of a church of apostasy which is fulfilled in the end times by the woman who rides the beast who happens to be the Roman Catholic Church famous for their Holy Water and Eucharist) who seduces and deceives people from true wisdom.

The proverb begins by encouraging us to guard the commandments and teachings of wisdom. Her law is to be the apple of our eye. We have heard it said “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” and maybe we should think in terms of “an apple a day keeps the optometrist away”. If we are blind to The Word, no doctor can save us. The Commandments and her teachings are to be within easy reach and upon our heart. Our heart feeds the body and we act on Her behalf. If we do the will of The Father and understand Her teachings of wisdom She is our Sister and our Friend. We need understanding to guard against the strange woman, the deceiver, the anti-Messiah who will flatter us or try to seduce us with her words. She is a foreigner meaning gentile based.

Proverbs 7

My child, guard my words, And treasure up my commands with you.Guard my commands and live, And my Torah as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding a close friend, To guard you against the strange woman, Against the foreigner who flatters with her words.

The rest of the proverb deals with the deception of those of us who have weak hearts and do not treat or seek Wisdom as Our Sister and The Messiah. Instead we let someone else take Her place and lead us to our grave.

A woman dressed like a whore easily seduces those that have weak hearts. They are charmed by her and fall for her as if there is nothing like her on earth. She is the way of death leading the heartless, as an ox to the slaughter. Our sister warns us to lookout for her and of course if we are in bed with this woman we have been deceived into believing we are doing the right thing.

For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, And I saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man lacking heart, Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night. And look, a woman met him, Dressed like a whore, With a hidden heart. She was boisterous and stubborn, Her feet did not stay at her own house. Now in the street, Now in the square, And at every corner she lurks. And she took hold of him and kissed him; She hardened her face and said to him: “Peace offerings are with me; Today I have paid my vows. “Therefore I came out to meet you, To earnestly seek your face, and I found you. “I have spread my bed with coverings, Coloured linens of Mitsrayim. “I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. “Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love. “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey; “He took a bag of silver with him; He comes home on the day of the new moon.” With her many words she leads him astray, With her smooth lips she seduces him. He goes after her immediately, Like an ox he goes to the slaughter, And as in chains, a fool to the punishment, Till an arrow strikes through his liver; Like a bird rushing into a snare, And did not know it would take his life. And now, listen to me, you children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth: Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not go astray in her paths. For many are the wounded she has caused to fall, And numerous all her slain ones. Her house is the way to the grave, Going down to the rooms of death.

The prophecy above is expanded upon in great detail in The Scroll of Revelations. The woman above is “The Woman Who Rides The Beast”. It is also summarized in the 9th proverb. The proverb begins outlining the mission of The Messiah and ends with another attack on the foolish woman first introduced in the 7th chapter.

Proverbs 9 (Italics Mine)

Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out its seven columns (seven denotes completion and perfection), She has slaughtered her meat (Impaled for the forgiveness of our sins),  She has mixed her wine(Her blood spilt providing us a chance for eternal life), She has also prepared her table (Wedding supper of the Lamb).  She has sent out her young women (Taught Ones, Disciples), She cries out from the highest places of the city: “Who is simple? Let him turn in here!” (A cry for repentance and sinners to turn to wisdom/The Messiah) As for those who lack heart, she says to them, “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.”(Accept Her Word and the offering of Her impalement) Leave the simple ones and live, And walk in the way of understanding.  Those who reprove a scoffer get shame for themselves, And those who rebuke a wrong one get themselves a blemish. (Don’t waste time on scoffers or those violating the Commandments or those not interested in Wisdom) Do not reprove a scoffer, lest they hate you; Reprove a wise one, and they love you. Give instruction to a wise one, and they are wiser still; Teach a righteous one, and they increases in learning. The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding. For by me your days become many, And years of life are added to you. If you have become wise, You have become wise for yourself, And if you have scoffed, You alone bear it.

A foolish woman is loud, simple, and without knowledge. For she has seated herself At the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: “Who is simple? Let them turn in here.” And as for those who lacks heart, she says to them,  “Stolen waters are sweet (Holy Water or assuming the power to grant eternal life), And bread eaten in secret is pleasant (Transubstantiation of the eucharist-turning a wafer of bread into the body of Messiah).” But they do not know that the dead are there, Her guests are in the depths of the grave.

Pro 9:1-18 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out its seven columns, 2 She has slaughtered her meat, She has mixed her wine, She has also prepared her table. 3 She has sent out her young women, She cries out from the highest places of the city: 4 “Who is simple? Let them turn in here!” As for those who lack heart, she says to them, 5 “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.” 6 Leave the simple ones and live, And walk in the way of understanding. 7 One who reproves a scoffer gets shame for them self, And those who rebuke a wrong one gets themselves a blemish. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, lest they hate you; Reprove a wise one, and they love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise one, and they are wiser still; Teach a righteous one, and they increases in learning. 10 The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding. 11 For by me your days become many, And years of life are added to you. 12 If you have become wise, You have become wise for yourself, And if you have scoffed, You alone bear it. 13 A foolish woman is loud, Simple, and without knowledge. 14 For she has seated herself At the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, 15 To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: 16 “Who is simple? Let them turn in here.” And as for those who lack heart, she says to them, 17 “Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”18 But they do not know that the dead are there, Her guests are in the depths of the grave.

Our journey on the Ark has brought some strangers together who have learned that Our Sister Wisdom is none other than Yashayahnah Messiah. As we debark the Ark with wisdom let us strive to walk rightly down the line and confess our sins to Messiah Yashayahnah letting Her know how much we love Her and Her Father.

Right Down The Line
The Best of Gerry Rafferty

You know I need your love

You’ve got that hold over me
Long as I’ve got your love
You know that I’ll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you Woman
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I’ve been through
Have left a mark on me
You’ve been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It’s been you Woman

Right down the line

I just want to say this is my way
Of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of telling you
That every day I’m loving you so much more
‘Cause you believed in me

Through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you Woman
Right down the line

I just want to say this is my way

Of telling you everything
I could never say before

Yeah this is my way of telling you
That every day I’m loving you so much more
If I should doubt myself, if I’m losing ground
I won’t turn to someone else
They’d only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you Woman
Right down the line

The wise will clear their head and open their mind to the true wisdom of Yashayahnah Messiah. The heart and soul will follow and those that cruise The Ark of Elohim will bring love to each city they visit.
