Proverbs 12 / Wisdom

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

Matthew 24  (Jesus says)

 

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and HIS disciples came to HIM for to shew HIM the buildings of the temple.

 

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

 

(Everything we can see with our natural eyes will be torn down at the end of this world.  God destroys this world with fire.  Our kingdom is not of this world.)

 

3 And as HE sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?

 

4-5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

 

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

 

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

 

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

 

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

 

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

 

31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

 

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

 

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

 

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

 

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

 

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

 

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

 

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Proverbs 12

 

1 Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

 

2 A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will HE condemn.

 

3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

 

4 A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

 

5 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

 

6 The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.

 

7 The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

 

8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.

 

9 He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

 

10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

 

11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding.

 

12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

 

13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

 

14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

 

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

 

16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

 

17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.

 

18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

 

19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

 

20 Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

 

21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

 

22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are HIS delight.

 

23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

 

24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

 

25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

 

26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

 

27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

 

28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.

It will get much worse in the days ahead on this earth.

 

No wonder Jesus said:  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

 

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.  (Mt. 24:21-22)

 

We must learn to operate in God's wisdom, obeying the Holy Scriptures.

 

Joshua 1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
