Today we look at Proverbs 8 and some of it’s Near Eastern context. We dive into the background and imagery of “Lady Wisdom” and see how the Egyptian idea, and goddess, Ma’at may help us understand wisdom personified in this passage and elsewhere in the Bible. #proverbs #proverbs8 #maat #ladywisdom #ma'at #chaos #order #solomon #divinewisdom

Read The Genesis Meditations by Neil Douglas Klotz to understand Who She is.

Wisdom mentioned in proverbs 8 is the pre existed jesus
The teaching is great but to be honest I would remove the intro music during the actual teaching. It's a little distracting.
Wisdom emanates from God.
Wisdom was qanah or birthed.
Wisdom was created.
Wisdom is a Spirit that emanates from God.
God birthed Wisdom.
Why is Wisdom personified as a Woman, because Wisdom will ultimately rest or dwell in the heart of the chosen Woman.
"The creator/Wisdom, my maker rest in my tabernacle."-Sirach24:12
In order for Wisdom the Spirit that emanates from God, to dwell in the heart of the chosen Woman, the heart must be "hewn" first by Seven Swords/Pillars or Seven Sorrows.-Proverbs9:1
The heart of the chosen Woman will be pierced by swords, seven sorrows or pillars, and after this, Her heart is now ready, the Wisdom/Holy Spirit is now ready to dwell and rest in Her tabernacle or heart.-Sirach24:12
Who is the chosen Woman whose immaculate heart was hewn or pierced by seven pillars or sorrows?
Wisdom or Holy Spirit descended to Jesus at baptism at Jordan River, that's why He personified Wisdom, but only temporarily, after Jesus redemptive mission was finished, the Holy Spirit or Wisdom return to the Throne where the Father is. And so, Jesus said, if He ascend to Heaven, He will ask the Father to send it back, and Wisdom will look for a heart to dwell, where?
In the Upper Room, the Holy Spirit/Wisdom saw the immaculate heart of the chosen Woman, already hewn by seven sorrows, and She finally have a dwelling place where She can finally rest. -Proverbs9:1
Who is the chosen Woman, whose Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart became worthy dwelling place of the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Created/Birthed Wisdom?
I am afraid, only Catholic can answer this question, because bible believing Christian, will be shock to know, more so accept this Truth, a mystery hidden to all fools, but reveal only to those who love and behold the chosen Woman as Jesus commanded at the Foot of the Cross.
Behold thy Mother, the chosen Woman whom the Spirit of Created Wisdom is destined to dwell and rest.
Proverbs8:22
Proverbs9:1
Sirach24:12
Are the keys to grasp this mystery and ofcourse Wisdom7 and 9 will help us and lead us, to understanding, that the Spirit of Wisdom who seated at the Throne, will one day perfectly,completely and mystically united to the chosen Woman, as in perfect union.
And that union was already fulfilled when the chosen Woman was assumed into Heaven, for Her to sit on the Throne, as the Sovereign Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Ave!
