Divine Wisdom

The wisdom of God is revealed in both Old and New Testaments, but it is impossible to appreciate that wisdom fully if the two are read in isolation. Sometimes the New Testament quotes the Old as authoritative. Sometimes it cancels things that the Old says. At other times it indicates that the Old was a type that illustrates New Testament doctrine. How are we to understand and apply its teaching? Is the New Testament being arbitrary when it tells us how to understand the Old, or do its careful interpretations show us how the Old was meant to be understood? Could it be that the New Testament’s many different ways of using some of its passages provide us with guidance for reading, studying and applying the whole of the Old Testament? Drawing upon many years of biblical research and teaching, Professor Gooding addresses these issues by expounding key New Testament passages that use the Old Testament. First he examines the importance of the general relationship of the two testaments. He then considers five major thought categories of the New Testament’s interpretation that encompass the many insights that it employs as tools for harvesting the wealth of the Old. Finally he formulates guidelines for interpreting Old Testament narrative and illustrates them from three familiar passages. Taken together these insights provide invaluable help for appreciating the richness of God’s multifaceted wisdom, which has come down to us as the revenue of all the ages.

Lisa Williams is an internationally renowned psychic medium who has been channeling messages from the Masters for many years and has been guided to now share them with you. 'Life continually presents us with the need for answers, which is why people seek out psychics and mediums. But often this desire for guidance is immediate and getting through the day can be overwhelming, especially when experiencing loss and where healing is needed. Sitting alone with our thoughts can send us into a spiral of despair, particularly if we don't know where or how to find peace. In our search for hope we then overthink. We do our best to connect to Spirit but our intuition falters and we can become lost. This is where Divine Wisdom can assist. After first re-centering the body by simply counting your breaths, I suggest you then open this book to a page that you are guided to and read the passage. Allow it to sink in, and then read it again. It is here, in the Masters' messages, that you will find the answers you need. You may wish to read a passage for daily inspiration or read Divine Wisdom in its entirety. Trust in yourself and allow the knowledge of the Divine Wisdom to penetrate your soul.' - Lisa Williams

The book organizes scriptural passages on wisdom and knowledge under various headings and subheadings of meaning, doctrine, acquisition, importance, necessity, blessings of wisdom and knowledge, and consequences of foolishness to aid understanding of the excellency of divine wisdom and knowledge (Phil. 3:8). This organized presentation is to help the reader derive much more from the scriptures cited by the guidance of the Holy Spirit without being limited by the authors concise explanations or interpretations.

Why are we here? Who really wrote the Bible? Was Jesus actually a messenger of God? Can science and religion be reconciled? Do we have free will? Divine Wisdom and Warning: Decoded Messages from God introduces a new way of using the ancient system of Gematria to solve these and other timeless questions. Nicholas Gura has developed an original technique, easily reproducible without the use of computers, that uncovers hidden, encoded messages in the Bible. These mathematically generated messages are both profound and metaphoric and will contribute to the meaning, quality, and purpose of our lives. Divine Wisdom and Warning reveals new insights on the parting of the Red Sea, suffering, quantum physics, the environment, treatment of women, and answers the eternal question: What is God’s true religion?
