Wisdom cries out loud

A Bible question, What do the book of Proverbs and the book of Revelation have in common? Both have a running theme concerning two women. In Revelation the Bride of Christ is set over against the Harlot, and the culmination of History is the Marriage supper of the Lamb.

Proverbs is similar, for we are introduced to two women, and called upon to choose between them. Lady Wisdom, cries out in the streets, beckoning those who know they lack wisdom to come unto her well set table.

But Dame Folly has an outreach to the simple also,her message is , "Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant!". These are the two competing Worldviews which Proverbs challenges us to choose from. Neutrality is impossible, a non decision is a decision.

Here is a two part article I wrote, which is a moral and spiritual exegesis of Proverbs 7 called "The Death of the Simple"- let me know what you think-

Proverbs 7 pt 1

Proverbs 7 pt 2

Thanks for posting this.
Explains much of why so many churches are standing on the wrong side against God and his people.

Acts 20:28-31

28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
