The Excellence of Wisdom
Proverbs 9:1 says Wisdom has 7 pillars.
Wisdom hath builded her
house, she hath hewn out
her seven pillars (KJV).
Wisdom has the perfect number of pillars—7 pillars!
We are God’s habitation; His dwelling place. He
assembles each and every one of His children as ‘materials for building an
edifice’ in Christ, unto perfection in Him.
By wisdom a house is
built,
and through understanding
it is established;
Prov 24:3 NIV
Wisdom hosts a royal banquet!
Listen to Wisdom's Invitation (chapter 8).
In Isaiah 11, we read of the prophecy of the
Righteous Reign of "the Branch from David's line"—the King of Peace Who
is to come.
This prophecy by Isaiah reveals that there shall
come forth 'a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse' [David's father]; a Branch out
of his roots which shall grow and bear fruit. He will finally establish the
Eternal Kingdom of Peace.
