Not feel-good or one-verse sermons, but in-depth Bible study taught chapter by chapter, verse by verse. That\u2019s how Wisdom builds her house and raises disciples. That\u2019s the kind of teaching that creates a true church and fosters real spiritual growth.<\/p>\n<p>Want to build a business that serves others and glorifies God? Ground it in the principles of the Word of God, built with Godly wisdom! The same applies to families\u2014wisdom is what builds for success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pillars:<\/strong> But what are these pillars? In Revelation 3:12, Jesus promises that <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hE0GUlKPm0s?si=koO7FCeqCHkVrmTc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the overcomers<\/a> will be designated as pillars in the temple of God in New Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>This idea of pillars related to leadership isn\u2019t new. Paul called Peter, James, and John \u201cpillars\u201d of the early church for their foundational leadership (Galatians 2:9). In 1 Timothy 3:15, the church itself is described as the \u201cpillar and ground of the truth.\u201d Similarly, in Exodus 24:4, Moses set up twelve pillars at Mt. Sinai to represent the twelve tribes of Israel, symbolizing their role as supports for God\u2019s covenant in the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rMkAuJJ-pAo?si=jTBIJ3mUHQuwi8WU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch: Pushing Down Pillars of Wickedness | Prophecy<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hewn Out:<\/strong> Wisdom doesn\u2019t just set up pillars; she hews them, carefully shaping and forming her leaders. What she does here is a model for building a church, a God-honoring business, or a righteous family. Invest time in shaping leaders\u2014training and preparing them\u2014and invest time in raising your children to be disciples of the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seven:<\/strong> Why seven pillars? Well, in Scripture, the number &#8220;seven&#8221; represents perfection or spiritual completeness. It&#8217;s such a profound number to God that He uses it 54 times in the Book of Revelation\u2014think seven churches, seven angels, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven thunders, and seven vials. So many things seem to revolve around that number. Wisdom&#8217;s house is no exception.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19565\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19565\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4jlMwdw\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-19565\" src=\"https:\/\/christianovercomers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/number-in-scripture-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cover of 'Number in Scripture: Its Supernatural Design and Spiritual Significance' by E.W.

The seven pillars could represent seven qualities of wisdom, as seen in Scripture (See Isaiah 11:2):<\/p>\n<h3><b>Seven Pillars of Wisdom<\/b><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10, &#8220;The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>Knowledge (Proverbs 2:6).<\/li>\n<li>Understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).<\/li>\n<li>Counsel (Proverbs 12:15).<\/li>\n<li>Prudence\/Discernment (Proverbs 15:5).<\/li>\n<li>Instruction (Proverbs 19:20).<\/li>\n<li>Discretion (Proverbs 2:11).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Feast_of_Truth_2\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #800000;\">The Feast of Truth (2)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><strong>She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.<\/strong> <b>&#8211;<\/b>Proverbs 9:2<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Killed her beasts:<\/strong> After building her house, the first thing Wisdom does is offer sacrifices to God.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mingled Her Wine:<\/em> She then prepares wine. No, she doesn\u2019t just serve plain wine\u2014she mingles it with spices for rich flavor, ensuring it is the best, full of life and taste! Similarly, Bible study teachings should have flavor too. They should be engaging and relevant, spiced up in a way that applies God\u2019s Word to our lives today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Furnished Her Table:<\/strong> Next, Wisdom prepares a lavish feast, fully furnishing her table for her guests. Doesn\u2019t this all remind us of Jesus, the Wisdom of God incarnate? In John 6:51-58, we see Jesus sacrificed Himself, offering His own flesh and blood so we might partake and have eternal life (think last supper and the new covenant). This Proverbs 9 Bible study shows that the feast symbolizes spiritual nourishment through God&#8217;s Word. Quite simply, Wisdom is providing a Bible Study!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Applying the Symbols:<\/strong> Let\u2019s step back and unpack the meaning of this feast:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Feast = Bible study and fellowship, a time to gather and be nourished.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Meat = The Word of God, the sustenance of truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Wine = The Holy Spirit, bringing life and joy to our faith.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wisdoms_Open_Invitation_3-6\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Wisdom\u2019s Open Invitation (3-6)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><strong>She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.<\/strong> -Proverbs 9:3-6<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Sent forth her maidens:<\/strong> As we unravel the mystery of Wisdom\u2019s house, the maidens here represent messengers carrying forth the gospel. You see, Wisdom doesn\u2019t just build a sturdy home with seven pillars and wait for guests to arrive; she actively sends her maidens into the world to invite others to her feast. This speaks volumes! I used to think preparing and teaching a solid, line-by-line Bible study was enough, and people would naturally come. But that\u2019s not always true. If it were, Wisdom wouldn\u2019t have sent her maidens to call others to the table.<\/p>\n<p>So, if our line-by-line Bible studies bless you, share the word! Could you tell others and spread the links to our studies? To date, we\u2019ve completed <a href=\"https:\/\/christianovercomers.com\">19 books of the Bible<\/a>, taught chapter by chapter and verse by verse, available on YouTube with nearly 900 videos, including prophecy updates on various topics. The table is set, and the meat is ready. Now, we need to invite others to the feast!<\/p>\n<p><b>Wisdom\u2019s Actions:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Builds a house<\/li>\n<li>Hews out seven pillars<\/li>\n<li>Offers sacrifices to God<\/li>\n<li>Prepares a feast<\/li>\n<li>Sends maidens to evangelize<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teach_the_Humble_Not_the_Scorner_7-9\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Teach the Humble, Not the Scorner (7-9)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><strong>He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

You are a dammed sinner and God will judge you to hell, but if you repent, believe in Christ, and change your ways, you can escape the judgment you deserve through faith in Christ. That&#8217;s the message here!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life shall be increased:<\/strong> Wisdom can prolong your life, especially when you strive to follow the laws of God and make good decisions.

Listen up, friends: this woman represents a fake church\u2014one where wisdom and understanding are missing, one where the Bible isn\u2019t taught line by line, chapter by chapter.

How can they not know anything about the <a href=\"https:\/\/christianovercomers.com\/blog\/serpent-seed\/\">serpent seed prophecy<\/a> when it is the book-end of the Bible! Not only is it the first prophecy, but it is also one of the last and plays a central role in everything that is happening in the world today.<\/p>\n<p>I cite that as one example of how Biblically illiterate people are in many cases, even when they&#8217;ve been to church their whole life. Why do people keep following the foolish woman?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stolen waters:<\/strong> Here\u2019s the thing: fake churches often have and even read Bibles. But the problem is, they don\u2019t teach the Bible in context. Instead, they grab bits and pieces of God\u2019s Word, using them like bait to draw people in, acting like they\u2019re offering wisdom, then twisting it with their own spin. Sound familiar? Even Satan quoted Scripture to Jesus during His temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:5-6). Don&#8217;t think that just because someone quotes scripture, they are indeed a messenger of God, because many have stolen God&#8217;s words to use for their own selfish purposes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The dead are there:<\/strong> He\u2019s clueless.
