Bible Reading: Leviticus 16; Psalm 19; Proverbs 30; 1 Timothy 1
Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Agur's words are very important for us to consider. He tells us that he has not learned wisdom, nor does he have the knowledge of the holy. Then he asks questions about God.
Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Enoch and Elijah both ascended into heaven. But neither of them came back telling others what they saw there. The apostle Paul was caught up into the third heaven but he was not allowed to tell. Jesus is the only One who fits this description:
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Only God can fit this – according to the Bible.
Psalms 135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
Who hath bound the waters in a garment? God again…
Job 26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Who hath established all the ends of the earth? This is the question that God asked Job:
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Now the One who can do these things is qualified to tell us about God. What is his name and his son's name? Do you know? How would you find out? You go to the Word of God to find out!
Proverbs 30:5-6 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
These questions require REVELATION from God. The source of this kind of revelation is the Bible.
Hebrews 1:1-2 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.
His name is Jehovah and his Son's name is Jesus. If you want the knowledge of the holy (Proverbs 30:3) go to the Word of God. It is pure and you can trust it!
In Christ,
Rody
