The hatred of wisdom is leading a multitude to Hell.
Proverbs 8:36, But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Throughout the Bible, we have several characters we can look to that I believe despised wisdom. Those who had counsel from God, His Prophets, or even the Scriptures, yet they rejected the Truth and wisdom given to them and they suffered for it with their life. Here’s a few to look at:
Noah’s generation denied Noah’s wisdom- they were swallowed up in the flood.
Pharaoh denied Moses’ wisdom- he was swallowed up in the Red Sea.
Korah denied Moses’ wisdom - The ground opened and he was swallowed up in the depths of earth.
There is one that stood with, walked with, talked with, and served with wisdom in the flesh—Judas. Judas was with wisdom, person to person. He followed Jesus and saw Him do many miracles, yet he denied the Truth given to him. This denial of revealed Truth led Judas to sell Jesus out for 30 pieces of silver leading to His scourging, mocking, crucifixion, death, and burial. Swallowed up in grief for what he had done, Judas went out and hung himself.
Have you had the privilege of hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ; the Truth? Have you responded in faith, repenting of your sins and trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour? If not, be careful! I don’t want you to be swallowed up in your pride that will ultimately lead you to death!
