In celebration of WISDOM


Book of Proverbs

Chapter 7

Warning Against the Adulterous Woman
My son, keep my words
and store up my commands within you.
Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings 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 to insight, “You are my relative.”
They will keep you from the adulterous woman,
from the wayward woman with her seductive words.

At the window of my house
I looked down through the lattice.
I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who had no sense.
He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house
at twilight, as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.

Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.

(She is unruly and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;
now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)
She took hold of him and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:

“Today I fulfilled my vows,
and I have food from my fellowship offering at home.
So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!
I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
Come, let’s drink deeply of love till morning;
let’s enjoy ourselves with love!
My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon.”

With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose
till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.

Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.
Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.
Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.

This is insightul of spiritual ecumenicalism, the merging of all religions together for the purpose of peace. Spiritual adultery!

The harlot could be the Catholic Church, if not the Catholic Church. The Evangelicals are joining together with the Catholic. We have Chrislam, as we merge Christians with Islam.

Messiah is the Husband, who took a long journey and will return at full moon, (at the Feast of Tabernacles). The bride of Christ is joining herself to harlot (false church) and other religions awhile she awaits her husband's returns. But he will reject her becuase of her devious ways. But those who kept themselves apart and abide in his Torah (commandments) are the accepted ones.

The bible speakes of great deception at the end of days that man will no longer want to believe the truth and for that God will hand them over to error, to believe the LIE. But God is just and always gives space for repentance as his judgments are falling on this world.

You should make peace with GOD yourself, and stop condemning others. It is not your Job to judge anyone, it is God's job. God's works are mysteries none of human beings know, but all they could do is to follow God's paths.
You called other as they are "harlots", then leave yourself as the evil, Satan as usually Satan never sleep, and you are in that path.
