Lifting The Veil That Blinds Us….Seek wisdom first and in so doing ask to understand her nature as Solomon asked of her purpose and her being.
Wisdom of Solomon Chapter 8
1. Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things. 2. I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty. 3. In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her. 4. For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.
5. If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things? 6. And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she? 7. And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable in their life. 8. If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.
9. Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief. 10. For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young. 11. I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men. 12. When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth. 13. Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.
All that points to the Spirit Wisdom set apart, the same as Solomon sought to be taught of and learn all things to be wise in knowledge and direct his path. Shall we not also ask now to lift the veil to see the truth? To see lies and deceit and observe good versus evil is discernment. What then do we do to see such things presented together and what is our measuring line and scale of balance to know what is true and what is a lie?
Do we become swayed in other lies? Or do we search until the truth is found? When found, what are the tests we must know to prove it as true? For when we go to the origin of the matter and see it clearly, can we then say…the origin or the matter changed a hundred years later? Perhaps it was craftily changed the next day? Or perhaps the origin changed a thousand years later or two thousand?
Can an origin of a matter be changed in God’s records or is that the gift of crafty men to do such trickery? And if trickery, what purpose does it pose to serve for those who craft it? Are we all who hear a thing to simply believe it because it has been told for so long it is now a well established tradition?
In that logic, then who is not to say Belial is not the origin of truth? For this is deceit of man, guided by tradition and deceit of evil men who established and declared an orthodox that the Lord did not declare. Many of these are Words that the Lord declared not, nor did Wisdom whisper in a vision.
Today we watch and observe in our own land of Sodom and Gomorrah the unjust declarations of man. The lies they shout as true, the boldness of each lie from the liars mouth is so obvious to those who have the Lord’s eyes and yet so many fall into traps of deceit seeking the truth and asking in vain to the liars to tell them what is a truth. Itching ears eager to know, impatient and demanding truth, any truth and in vain accepting lies in its place to be satisfied with something. Even knowing it is a lie, yet many are filled up and close the book. Satisfied for now, declaring they are learned…yet, they know not and are weary and naked without the truth.
Their belly is satisfied with what they were fed. Being satisfied they hunger no more or go about to search, instead they lay back and now defend with all their heart, a lie, because they were fed and made satisfied.
False doctrine has been a successful jab. A false shot that alters the mRNA of the truth of God’s creation, mankind’s history and even future into a twisted contortion disabling the learned and ever causing eternal death to many.
Because they believed a lie.
Does a watchman see the danger and say, “It’s not worth warning the people of the city that a lion approaches for they will believe it is a lamb? All because in the dark they do not see the teeth? They only see the shadow of what is approaching. In seeing the shadow they argue. They despise the watchman for he has created alarm that disrupted their night and their dreams. They are awakened out from their sleep and are angry because they see no devouring jaws with their sleepy eyes.
How dare the watchman say such troubling things that disturb their sleep they shout! Away with the watchman! Let him keep his mouth shut in the night. Yes, this all can wait until the morning and then, in the day we shall see and we shall decide by majority what is and what is not! Away with the watchman!
So what does the watchman do to warn the people when they stuff their ears and shout to go back to sleep? Is it not what took place in Sodom? Lot and his wife and daughters went out by the warning of the angels and the sons in law wanted no part of their madness and went back to sleep. Believing they had all gone mad, believing not in angels and instead chose to believe they had listened to a lie from strangers and foolishly followed their command to leave.
For had their eyes been opened to see the danger, would they have not left also, instead of going back to sleep? Indeed they would have left, but, their eyes were shut and their ears scoffed at what they heard, believing it not.
In leaving, even Lot’s wife had doubt, missing what she had left, wondering if she was following Lot’s instruction blindly. In that lack of belief she looked back and longed for what was her home, her sense of what was normal to her and when her eyes locked onto the grave destruction, she too turned into a pillar, a pile of salt, disintegrated by her own free will to think it was better there in Sodom and she felt in her heart a longing for the corrupt lifestyle in the city of lawlessness for she was accustomed to its’ ways after many years enduring it…and she chose in her heart a longing to go back, a missing of sorts of her life there, and chose in her heart the longing to go back. It was her own free will that caused her peril.
So why then do we believe we are any different in our testing in our day of trial. For there is nothing new under the sun and we have all been warned of this hour and the signs to watch for by our Lord Jesus the Son of God who told us all things; and by the prophets who by the Holy Spirit warned us of the same.
So let him who has ears to hear, indeed hear, and he who has eyes to see, indeed see, and let he who seeks wisdom seek it and receive it. For there is much to know and to learn. For faith in the word and hunger in seeking it are two separate things. Until one can see how the two join together to become the one….he will fall short of receiving the fullness of both. For the one who is learned has yet more to learn always.
Isaiah 29:9-15
9. Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 10. For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 11. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12. And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 13. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 14. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 15. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Seek wisdom first and in so doing ask to understand her nature as Solomon asked of her purpose and her being.
The Word of God is truth. Many prophets were shown visions that were to take place in the future. Some distant and some far distant. Some prophetic words given to the prophets took place in a short length of days. We are told by our Lord to seek and we shall find. We are shown by example that even in the word of the prophets, we must seek in order to find. For there is nothing new under the sun, as Solomon was shown and wrote … and everything repeats itself. Truth is not alone in one verse, nor does one paragraph explain all there is on the subject being spoken about. For it is written it is here a little and there a little.
We are given a pearl of great price in having the gift of the Holy Spirit who is the giver of all Wisdom. It is by seeking that we know, and as we know, we understand what other scriptures mean for the Word of God always cross references with other truths and shows us what God’s Word means. To those who have not read, the words can be twisted and or the meaning hidden or taken out of context. It is easy to fall prey to deceit and falsehoods.
Isaiah 28:7-13
“But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.”
But to those who seek truth with the Holy Spirit, great discernment is given. Their eyes shall see and their ears shall hear.
Wisdom of Solomon Chapter 7:21-30
“And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them I know. For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good, Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil, spirits.
For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness. For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her. For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness. And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.
For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.”
The question is, why was the Book of the Wisdom of Solomon taken out of the King James Bible?
The Wisdom of Solomon was in the original King James Bible in 1611. It was removed from the Word of God, by men in 1684. It has been said that it is a sacred mystery as to exactly why this book along with 13 others (14 total) were removed by the Vatican in 1684. There are a lot of conspiracy theories and thoughts on why this was, but no one is privi to the exact reason, or so that is what we are told.
Some have said the books didn’t fit the narrative being taught through interpretations of the time. Others believed these raised to many questions for the little flock at the time. After all, the protestants now had access and privilige to read the scriptures for themselves in their own language and the papacy and their Latin had lost a lot of its control over what was taught. Or that is what many have said. So for 73 years these books were orthodox until another world church council meeting of which they were removed and deemed UNorthodox. Today, we understand such censorings for what they are. Censorship. We also know all about dis and mis information, propaganda and setting a narrative by hiding truths. We also understand manmade mandates and declarations.
When you research this long argument of the book of Solomon… you will find it is very skewed. One such answer on this mystery of removal is: “The apocryphal books are accepted by the Roman Catholic Church because many of the books teach Catholic doctrines that are not in agreement with the Bible, including praying for the dead, petitioning Mary to intercede with the Father, worshiping angels, and alms-giving as atonement for sins. Some of what the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonicals say is true and correct. However, due to the historical and theological errors, the books, including The Wisdom of Solomon, must be viewed as fallible historical and religious documents, not as the inspired, authoritative Word of God.” (You may have to read that a few times like I had to… I actually read it now five times…and slowly.) Six times now…. still trying to discern what I read there?
So… because these seemed to be in the original authorized at the council of Nicaea, and survived up until 1684… that leads to a very interesting challenge to find the correct answer. But then again… Constantine’s gathering of all religious leaders in Nicaea to blend a one world religion is another story. To each discern their own truths…
I for one, believe many of the “no no” books are inspired, such as the book of Enoch, Jasher, and Jubilees… as well as the Book of Solomon as these all cross reference with both old testament and new testament scriptures.

Remember to seek and ye shall find… I found a lot of interesting things in seeking this answer, but for now… I will ponder my findings and ask for discernment.
KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD!! PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!

Dianne, Thank you…your articles always give me nuggets to add to my prayer life and open my eyes.
The first book of the Bible that I read was Isaiah. I didn’t know why it was the first book I chose until I read “For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes:” All it took for me to have my eyes opened was to ask. But until I read the Words, I didn’t know my eyes were closed. I didn’t know I didn’t have the ears to hear or even the Wisdom to understand what I was seeing and hearing. I didn’t know until I did, and in seeking answers I found Wisdom. I poured my heart out to God seeking to understand what I could sense was right in front of my face but was blind to see. And when I was granted vision I pleaded to be shown what it meant. It was in this practice that I was led to do something that may sound odd. Train in the Spirit. This is a daily exercise (ever notice how closely the words exercise and exorcise are??) that has /is proving to be incredible. It’s incredible in all the ways, including incredibly hard to explain. Basically, It’s a praise and worship session where I began with focused prayer seeking to understand the difference between my will and God’s. I wanted to know for certain which voice in my head was mine, and what was the guidance from the Holy Spirit. How can I do God’s will if I’m not even sure which of the dueling voices in my head to follow? So, it began with seeking to recognize The Spirit’s ‘voice’ and evolved into being shown so so so much more. The Holy Spirit is an amazing teacher and will teach us anything we are ready to learn if we are truly seeking with a pure heart reaching toward the Lord. How was I taught to understand the difference between my will and God’s? I was shown how to Train in the Spirit while I working out in my gym. My boxing gym. I told you it sounds incredible! For me, this became apparent rather quickly because when I follow my will instead of where the Spirit was leading me, I get a wack with one of my swinging boxing bags to show me the error. Sometimes it’s an unexpected smack from a swinging boxing bag, others it’s my own staff that somehow gets my attention, and sometimes it’s other ways but always obvious redirection. I have had countless bruises, a busted lip, have tripped and even been knocked down to the ground during these training sessions. Each time it is apparent that I am being trained with a specific purpose – even if I don’t quite understand it at the time. Figuring out which voice to follow was the first step and the rest has been amazing and unbelievable. The things I am being shown and taught… I can honestly say, this is the most profound thing that I have ever experienced in my entire life. The harder I press into the Lord seeking understanding, knowledge, and wisdom – the more I am shown. Sometimes in these sessions I am given visions that I see and understand what I’m being shown. Other times, these visions are sealed until later. This began when I read that first book in the Bible, and I think it only began because I read the Words. So, I kept reading and was led all the way through the Bible by the Spirit who gave me Bible verses through visions of numbers. These numbers matched the books of the Bible I was led to and I was taken on this magical journey through the Bible as the Spirit showed me new numbers and their matching books. As with all training, with daily practice comes new skills and we get better and better. What started out as visions of numbers turned to images. With time and practice, the images turned to elaborate visions full of details. And, I am being gifted with physical abilities that are unexplainable and remarkable. When I dance while in the Spirit, the Spirit takes over and together we worship the Lord with everything I have to give. At the end of these sessions, I am breathless and drenched in sweat but I am filled with knowings of knowledge and abilities I never learned. The Spirit is my trainer and I have never been so sore in all the years I’ve been working out. But, even so I can’t wait to get back in there and do it again! I have asked before and no one answers my question of , “Do you train in The Spirit?”. So, I will assume the answer is “No”. I will close with this… Why not? Is it the “exercise” part that makes you say “Yeah… Maybe it works for you but I’m not into that.” Perhaps there is a reason people instinctively hate exercise. Maybe, just maybe, the flood of oxygen, hormones, and all the minerals in your blood is what it takes to open the gates to a Spiritual connection you don’t even know you are lacking. So, I encourage you all to test this out for yourself. Pray to be shown and lay it all out on the alter for God. He will meet you with more than you expect and the rest will be taught to you by the Spirit. Maybe we were conditioned by the enemy to avoid sweating and exercise because it helps open up a path to the Kingdom that has been blocked and hidden by the world. In was through this process that I was able to exorcise the demons that had latched onto me. Maybe…. it’s demons that make people hate exercising because they know they can be exorcized through the practice if it’s been blessed by God. Funny thing about demons is you don’t know they are there – that’s their power. I exorcized my demons I didn’t know I had with exercising in The Spirit. So, I am encouraging you to try this out. Prove me wrong. I know when you do, God will meet you and The Spirit will teach you what I am so desperately trying to explain … the Spirit will teach you the things I can’t explain. And then you’ll know what you don’t know you don’t know.
Thank you Dianne for this wonderful focus on the wisdom of Solomon, the wisdom given to him by God. Reminds me of the book of Proverbs, chapter 8, which has a sub-title of “The Commendation of Wisdom,” and seems to show “Wisdom” describing the role that was meant to be performed alongside God, as the heavens and earth were created. Some great verses in there, including 27 – 30 (NASB95 version) —
“When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,
When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him …”
Your work, Dianne, is such a joy to read, and read again.
