Dear Pastor John,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Have been studying Proverbs chapter 8.\u00a0 Is this chapter talking about wisdom or about Jesus?\u00a0 I am kind of stuck on this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truly yours,<\/span><\/p>\n

Jacob F.<\/span><\/p>\n

=============<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Jacob,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 8 is the hidden son of God speaking through the prophet about his existence with the Father from the foundation of the world.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for the question,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pastor John<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is our translation of Proverbs 8:22-30, which is the section you are probably most asking about:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

22.<\/span>
\nThe Lord created me the beginning of His way, the first of His works.<\/span><\/a>
\n23.<\/span>
\nI was anointed from eternity, before the beginning, before earth existed.<\/span><\/a>
\n24.<\/span>
\nI was brought forth when there were no depths of the sea, when there were no springs abounding with water.<\/span><\/a>
\n25.<\/span>
\nBefore the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth.<\/span><\/a>
\n26.<\/span>
\nWhen He had not made the earth, and the open fields, and the first elements of the world,<\/span><\/a>
\n27.<\/span>
\nwhen He prepared the heavens, I was there.\u00a0 When He decreed a circle on the face of the deep,<\/span><\/a>
\n28.<\/span>
\nwhen He established the thin clouds above, when He made strong the fountains of the sea,<\/span><\/a>
\n29.<\/span>
\nwhen He made His decree for the sea, that the waters should not disobey His word, when He decreed the foundations of the earth,<\/span><\/a>
\n30.<\/span>
\nI was at His side, like a master workman, daily His great delight, always laughing in His presence,<\/span><\/a> rejoicing in the world, His earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.<\/span><\/a>
