In the last blog post we looked at understanding and the next is wisdom all of which comes to us through GODS being restored to us as promised in Genesis 3:15. So without delay....
Divine Wisdom of Christ's Omniscience,
John 2:24 of 23-25 "Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs that He was doing. For Jesus on His part did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for He Himself knew what was in man."
John 16:30 of 29-33 "Jesus' disciples said, "Ah, now You are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! Now we know that You know all things and do not need anyone to question You; this is why we believe that you came from God." Jesus answered them, 'Do you now believe? Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with Me. I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.'"
John 21:17 of 15-19 "When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?' He said to Him, "Yes, LORD; You know that I love You." He said to him, 'Feed my lambs.' He said to him a second time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love Me?' He said to Him, "Yes, LORD; You know that I love You." He said to him, 'Tend my sheep.' He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of John, do you love Me?' Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" and he said to Him, "LORD, You know everything; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, 'Feed My sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." (This He said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this He said to him, "Follow [walk in agreement with] Me."
Acts 1:24 of 12-14, 15-26 "Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, "Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry." (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) "For it is written in the Book of Psalms (in 69:25 and 109:80, "'May his camp become desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in it'; and "'Let another take his office.'" So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when He was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to His resurrection." And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, "You, LORD, know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
The Omniscience of GOD,
Job 26:6 of 5-14 "The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants. Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. He binds up the waters in His thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them. He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it His cloud. He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at His rebuke. By His power He stilled the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab. By His (breath) wind the heavens were made fair; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. Behold, these are but the outskirts of His ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?"
Job 31:4 of 1-4 "I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin? What would be my portion from GOD above and my heritage from the Almighty on high? Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for the workers of iniquity? Does not HE see my ways and number all my steps?"
Job 34:21 of 21-30 "For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and HE sees all his steps. There is no gloom or deep darkness where evildoers may hide themselves. For GOD has no need to consider a man further, that he should go before GOD in judgment. He shatters the mighty without investigation and sets others in their place. Thus, knowing their works, HE overturns them in the night, and they are crushed. He strikes them for their wickedness in a place for all to see, because they turned aside from following Him and had no regard for His ways, so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him, and HE heard the cry of the afflicted—When HE is quiet, who can condemn? When HE hides His face, who can behold Him, whether it be a nation or a man?—that a godless man should not reign, that he should not ensnare the people."
Psalm 147:5 of 1-6 "Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our GOD; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting. The LORD builds up Jerusalem; HE gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; HE gives to all of them their names. Great is our LORD, and abundant in power; His understanding is beyond measure. The LORD lifts up the humble; HE casts the wicked to the ground."
Hebrews 4:13 of 1-13 "Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. For we who have believed enter that rest, as HE has said (by the Prophet of Psalm in 95:11), 'As I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest,' although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. For HE has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way (first in Genesis 2:2 and then in Exodus 20:11, 31:17): "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works." And again in this passage HE said (by the Prophet of Psalm 95:11), 'They shall not enter My rest.' (the warning of Deuteronomy 18:18-20) Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience (of a rebellious heart of wrath in unbelief that applies to all of Humanity), again HE appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through [in] David so long afterward, in the words already quoted (of Psalm 95:7), 'Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.' For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of GOD, for whoever has entered GOD's rest has also rested from his works as GOD did from His. Let us therefore strive to enter His rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of GOD is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from His sight, for all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."
1John 3:20-21 of 13-22, 23 "Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, that HE laid down (gave) His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does GOD's love abide in him? (It does not!) Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before Him; for whenever our heart (because of a conscience of sin that remains within our flesh) condemns us, GOD is greater than our heart, and HE knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before GOD; and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him. And this is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as HE has commanded us."
