Wisdom In The Word Bible Studies

Join us as we continue examining chapters three through five of this deeply profound message of Godly love and desire.

Very prominent throughout the Bible, especially in the emotion-provoking Song Of Solomon, is the use of metaphors. In addition to the face value of terms used to ascribe meaning and thrust to a dialog, metaphors are used for us to analyze in context and to cross reference. Metaphors are provided to help the reader understand the key meanings and nuances that the writer intends to be gained.

Listen-in as we define key metaphors used by Solomon in this book, beginning with the Lily, the apple, the apple tree, and the Fig tree.

Join us as we continue to examine this book's general story line and its basic chronology. We then move forward and find some very key comparisons to the truth of Jesus’ plans for His church, and God’s love and plan for His Old Testament bride, Israel. finally, we really start to dig in and parse the Song of Solomon itself in greater detail. 

We begin our study of the Old Testament book Song of Solomon. (In Hebrew, “Song of Songs”). This book, like Ecclesiastes, Job, Psalm and Proverbs is one of the Bible's five poetical books. The poetical books are also considered more personal and experiential in nature as opposed to the historical or doctrinal, etc. books of the Bible.

By its title we can easily know that it also was written by king Solomon. The Song of Solomon was the second of the three books of the Old Testament he wrote, which are Proverbs, Song of Solomon and Ecclesiastes.

King David, who was Solomon's father wrote many of the Psalms which actually are songs. Being the wisest mortal that ever lived on this earth, history holds that Solomon composed many songs as well as wisdom-filled proverbs.

Join the class as we embark on our study of this beautifully poetic and emotional "love song". At first glance, it seems to be a romantic record of the deep and pure love developing between a man and woman. However, like so many passages in all of the books of the Bible, the true meaning of it lies below the surface. Continue along with us as we seek the wonderful truths that await those who study in the depths of the Song Of Solomon.

As we conclude our study of the book of Ecclesiastes you'll find it difficult to believe the end of the matter with Solomon. Prepare to be shocked if you're unfamiliar with the full history and final end of king Solomon. 

God gave and invested greatly in Solomon. He cultivated all of Solomon's works under the sun with the gift of the greatest amount of Godly wisdom a human being would ever have. He not only gave Solomon the honor of building the first temple instead of his father, David, doing so, but to write three of the most personally impacting books of wisdom in the Bible. With all of that, what kind of end would one anticipate for such a truly blessed and fruitful life?

The truth is stranger than fiction, and Biblical truth is not only so, but instructive even in its irony. 

Please join us and learn what happened with Solomon and why his life crashed and burned to destruction. We all will do well to learn the greatest of lessons about the human condition and take into account the full wickedness of our human heart. The Bible tells us that your heart, my heart. is so desperately wicked that we can't even plumb the depths of how evil we truly are.

Even with God's direct blessings, we are apt to fail, and that most miserably. Paul tells us to discipline ourselves in sanctification and run as if in a race for first prize! 

So, what can we learn through Solomon's life and his horrible end? God wants you and I to learn and know so that we can be warned and avoid disaster - even from under a fully blessed life under God's direct care!

 In this lesson we continue studying Solomon's research and documentation seeking to define the meaning of the human condition.  In this part, we examine Solomon's research on personal morality and its true meaning in our lives.  We also learn God's thoughts about various and vain philosophies.

Scripture has made clear in many other places that we should work to keep our name – our personal reputation – in this life spotless. For Christians who are the Lord’s property and profess His name, how we carry ourselves in In this world directly reflects our God’s reputation.

Man’s wrong conclusions and philosophies in his ignorance, without God’s word in His heart are then guided by his own ignorance, prejudices and false premises. This too plays a very large role in how our "name" is perceived. It is a big part of the reputation we build for ourselves among men.

Solomon finds that Keeping a good name is like – or even better than - a precious ointment. With such a comparison given, let’s allow the writings of the Ecclesiastes to help us really understand the meaning of a high moral character and the correct philosophical point of view in context of God's desire for those He designed and made to carry His image on the earth...

In this lesson we continue studying Solomon's research and documentation seeking to define the meaning of the human condition.  In this part, we examine Solomon's research on wealth.

Solomon finds that wealth is not wrong in itself. It is the love of it – the deep desire to attain it - a life's focus on gaining it and the emotional attachment to spending one's life to increase it – that is destructive. Continue with us in part 5 as we continue examining Solomon's research and the documentation that is the book of Ecclesiastes.

Listen-in as we continue to dig deeply into Ecclesiastes to maximize its benefits in our lives.   

We so much appreciate the time you spend studying God's true and perfect revelation about Himself, His nature and His plan of the age with our class! It is a blessing for us to be a blessing to you in learning the things of God. 

As much as we hope you are gaining great knowledge and wisdom as you pursue studying the absolute truth, no one can make the assumption that all who are learning the Word of God are going to spend eternity with him in Heaven. Even Satan knows the Word of God very well, but just that is of no eternal value to him. 

If you died today, your body would be buried or burned, but where will your eternal soul be headed? 

By default you - every single human being - is a sinner and under judgment, headed for the eternal hell that God has prepared for the fallen angels and all human beings who are sinners along with them. The book of Romans says about all human beings: Rom 5:12  "Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned". If you are a human being, you are a sinner and headed to hell by default. No exceptions. 

... BUT there is GOOD NEWS! God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ, who came to earth as fully God in fully human flesh 2,000 years ago) to pay the death penalty for ALL people who would in their free will call upon His name for the mercy and grace of eternal salvation! 

Listen to this very important message about the simple, but strict requirement of the Gospel of salvation. God made it simple and you can rest upon this assurance right now if you choose!

Are you saved? Are you sure?! Listen and learn NOW to find out the most important fact about yourself you'll ever need to know.
