Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Where are God s people described as keeping His Words and Commandments? Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. What is the Testimony of Jesus Christ? Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Proverbs 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. What does it mean to live? Matthew 19:16-17 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Proverbs 7:3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Is there anything in the New Testaments regarding the commandments and people s hearts? Hebrews 10:16-17 This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Proverbs 7:4-5 Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman: That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words. Who is referred to MY SISTER? Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. What is the will of God? What is a synonym for strange? Psalms 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within my heart. Ezekiel 16:32 [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh strangers instead of her husband! What is a synonym for adultery? PAGE 1
Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. Who is the ultimate harlot that we need to stay far away from? Revelation 17:3-5 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Proverbs 7:6-7 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding. Who is void of understanding? Proverbs 12:11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain [persons is] void of understanding. Many ministers are vain in their preaching not teaching the true doctrines. What is a young man? Proverbs 2:17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. Proverbs 7:8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house. What is the house? 1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. To worship with such as they worship is not worship the true God of heaven but Baal instead. Proverbs 7:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: What occurs in the dark? John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. What does darkness mean? Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them. Proverbs 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. PAGE 2
Any denomination not keeping the Word of God and the Ten Commandments qualifies in being a harlot. Proverbs 7:11-12 (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing. The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions. And this is called the moving of the Holy Spirit. {2SM 36.2} A new organization would be established. Books of a new order would be written. A system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. {1SM 204.2} Proverbs 7:13-14 So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said unto him, [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. What does a kiss represent? Luke 22:48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? How is an impudent face permitted in the harlot churches? 1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; What peace offerings? 1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. What vow are they still faithful in? Deuteronomy 12:6 And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks Proverbs 7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. Why is the harlot seeking diligently this soul? 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Proverbs 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt. How can fine linen be misused? PAGE 3
Revelation 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! Proverbs 7:17-18 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. What does God say about committing spiritual adultery? James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Proverbs 7:19-20 For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed. Who is the Good Man? Mark 13:34-37 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. What day appointed? Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead. Proverbs 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. How is such speech effective? Psalms 5:9 For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do [exploits]. Proverbs 7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it [is] for his life. Where are those birds? Revelation 18:1-2 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. PAGE 4
Proverbs 7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. What words are to be hearkened unto? Revelation 18:3-4 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Proverbs 7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. What are the two ways? Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Proverbs 7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong [men] have been slain by her. How does she slay? Numbers 25:1-3 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. The Israelites, who could not be overcome by the arms or by the enchantments of Midian, fell a prey to her harlots. Such is the power that woman, enlisted in the service of Satan, has exerted to entrap and destroy souls. "She hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her." Proverbs 7:26. {PP 457.2} Proverbs 7:27 Her house [is] the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. What two groups are there? Proverbs 2:18-22 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. PAGE 5
Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Proverbs 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Proverbs 7:3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Proverbs 7:4-5 Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman: That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words. Proverbs 7:6-7 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, Proverbs 7:8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, Proverbs 7:9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: PAGE 6
Proverbs 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. Proverbs 7:11-12 (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) Proverbs 7:13-14 So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said unto him, [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. Proverbs 7:15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. Proverbs 7:16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt. Proverbs 7:17-18 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. PAGE 7
Proverbs 7:19-20 For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed. Proverbs 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. Proverbs 7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Proverbs 7:23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it [is] for his life. Proverbs 7:24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Proverbs 7:25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. PAGE 8
Proverbs 7:26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong [men] have been slain by her. Proverbs 7:27 Her house [is] the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. PAGE 9
