The Foolishness of the Wise

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom mishpacha, "All praises honor and glory continually to the Most High YHWH" our creator, our sustainer and from where all real blessings come, and baruka ha'bo beh'h'shem YHWH ... blessed the coming in the name of YHWH -> YAHushua. Blessing and peace to you and I pray all is well with you and yours and if not, know assuredly it will be according to his will.

This time I'd like to look into a important but not thoroughly understood issue from past to present dealing with seperation of the true children of Y'srael. We know we have been scattered from one part of this globe to another but we fail to realize how and why it happened in the first place. Many people will remind you of the blessings and curses printed in debarym / deuteronomy 28th chapter, but thats a prophetic warning with the condition of "IF". Lets at this time revist the scriptually historical revelation of what went on to cause this thing to go from a "IF" to a fruition that has major ramifications to this very day. Before we jump straight into 1st melakym / Kings, lets look back into our instruction ->>> torah. In debarym 17:16-17 it instructs NOT suggest, ....but he shall NOT multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt (mtzraym / bondage), to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as YHWH hath said unto you, "Ye shall henceforth return no more that way". 17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. .....- well well well, doesn't this sound familiar?, the Most High knew long ago what would happen to the souls of men if they saturated themselves with over abundance. He even reminds us in the 1st chapter of the book of Revelation that we are to be a nation of Kings and Priest, Rev. 1:6, ".....and hath made us kings and priests unto Elohym and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" .....- well I guess he does know the end from the beginning as well as being the author and finisher of our faith, ....not to mention the rules don't change because of the desires of man!.

Melek Shelomo / Solomon no doubt was well educated and fully familiar and understood torah, but people in power and men of renoun more often that not "loose themselves" as we saw in this case. We read in 1st. Kings chapter 10 after a visitation from the Queen of Sheba how King Solomon enlarged himself, in chapter 10:24-29,.....and all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which Elohym had put in his heart. 25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem. 27 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.

28 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.

These verses clearly show that Solomon had become full of himself and multiplied whatever he wanted to (so much for torah - deut. 17:16 ). I guess it is true of man: "power corrupts - and absolute power corrupts absolutley". No doubt there is some "showing off" taking place but did you pay attention to why the Queen came to visit him in the first place? It's plainly stated in the 1st verse of chpt. 10,

And when the Queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of YHWH, she came to prove him with hard questions. ......- well I guess this blows out the theory that she came to make a "love connection", it states here that his fame was noised abroad because of the name YHWH, and she wanted to learn more on this matter. Anyway we know that Solomon was a king, and kings live LARGE, but Solomon knew better than to act like the goyim, he was given wisdom they could never understand for a "greater purpose"- not for attaining riches, women etc... - but to lead Ysrael, ...not scatter them!

To see the detrimental effects of this mindset lets read on to 1st Kings chapter 11, ....but king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 2 Of the nations concerning which the YHWH said unto the children of Israel, "Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods": Solomon clave unto these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with YHWH his Elohym, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the YHWH, and went not fully after YHWH, as did David his father. 7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 9 And YHWH was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from YHWH Elo'hy of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which YHWH commanded. .....- (so much for torah, deut. 7:3) I guess BigShot Shelomo wasn't feeling that restriction as written: ".....neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son". ......- on top of that ole BigShot Shelomo ignored the reason thru wisdom why YHWH didn't want the inter-marriages, deut. 7:4-5 states......"For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of YHWH be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire". ......- the children of Ysrael were instructed to tear down pagan foolishness but instead Big ole BadBoy Shelomo erected them.... WOW! We know that his father melek Dawid sinned, but he never turned his heart from YHWH, he repented! - but melek Shelomo took sin and rebellion to a whole nether level..... how foolish!

If we continue to read 1st. Kings chapters 11-12 we can find out WHEN Y'srael was declared to be seperated and scattered but what the wise fool Shelomo did was the WHY, all because of a selfish out-of-control leader! Remember what mashiach articulated for us in Luke 11:23 and Matthew 12:30, "...He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad". To this very day we remain scattered from here to there but there are lessons to be learned, one lesson for instance is: if you don't learn from your history - you are destined to repeat it. If there is a problem on your Continent, in your Country, in your State, in your County, in your City, in your neighborhood, down to your own very household, ->>> check the leadership! The ramifications of bad judgement can sometimes be irrepairable, and the presence of foolish ambition from those many THINK are wise can be even worse! While many are whining and crying about the situation they are in do they ever really take the time to realize how they got in that situation in the first place and who led them there? and more importantly - what will it take to get out? If one of the most powerful, wealthy, well educated and wisest men that ever lived aka King Solomon didn't stay dilligent in his walk with the Allmighty as instructed in torah what chance could you have if you fall off? If the falling away of this man's heart from the 1 true and living Elohym could lead to the scattering of a chosen people still to this day, just image what message that sends to heads of households and families to >>> STAY in torah. 

The Most High will certainlly regather his people as promised but our portion is to be worthy to be gathered through obedience and the blood of mashiac as he declared himself BETTER than Solomon, in Matthew 12:42 he states: "....The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a GREATER than Solomon is here". ......- Yahushua was certainlly sent to re-gather (Matthew 15:24) the lost sheep from the house of Y'srael proving perfect and superior wisdom over Solomon. Yahushua's way to gather was and is by staying under the father's instruction and to NOT divide because of foolish selfishness. selah, ....... shalom

[AtalYah Baht Yehudah]

Shalom Akhee weh HALELUYAH!  In reading about Melek Shlomoh : what he had in wisdom given unto him by The Father, how he could have blown it, like he did?   The Foolishness of The Wise, I see, can be very scary! This king just went over-board with everything. He was truly stuck on himself and I guess he figured because he knew what he knew, he could just do what ever he wanted ( but why??? DUH! ) Wrong, as you stated, with the wisdom he was blessed with, he was to lead / guide Yisra'el to be right before YAHWAH! Even the Queen came to visit him because of the knowledge he possessed, not for what he had. She had her own wealth. This man knew Torah like he did, and yet he did against TORAH. If I knew what he knew, ain't no way in hell I would have messed that up!  Be too scurred before YAHWAH. What greater gift is there than having knowledge, wisdom & understanding?   He didn't benefit from all those women, all his goods, nuthin'. And then he had the audacity to conjure up a spirit to seek advice?   Wow!  I am not one to pass judgement, but he deserved to lose his reign - cause he did nuthin for Yis'rael but make matters worse. At least Dawyd saw the wrong of his ways & repented!  Some of our forefathers really blew it, when it came to having the truth and not living the truth. I see why we are so messed up today. Thankful to YAHWAH & the remnant HE always made sure was around. Where would we be today if it were not for them and Abba not giving up on us ?   Melek Shlomoh sho' blew a blessing !   Selah     Todah for sharing 

YAH BLESS, Emah AtalYah
