It is time to move on from my ancestors, THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, saga with THE ARK OF THE COVENANT and study about THE TRILLIONAIRE, King Solomon. We have been learning of the WEALTH King Solomon had bestowed upon him by GOD. We have learned about the costs in today’s US dollars to build the Temple and King Solomon’s palatial compound pictured above.
As you will remember GOD told Solomon in a dream that he would be the RICHEST man then and FOREVER! GOD ALWAYS keeps a promise! There is NEVER been a TRILLIONAIRE since Solomon and I do not see one on the current horizon! If you took the COMBINED wealth of the five wealthiest people on earth, you would hardly get $500,000,000!
So what can you and I learn from Solomon, who also GOD made the WISEST person on earth?
Here is what I learned from Solomon’s OWN writings in the Book of PROVERBS, which Biblical scholars have PROVED is the only book written SOLELY by King Solomon.
Solomon wanted to first show us the VALUE of PROVERBS and he shares this introduction:
“Here are the proverbs that will help you recognize wisdom and good advice, and understand sayings with deep meaning. They can teach you how to live intelligently and how to be honest, just, and fair. They can make an inexperienced person clever and teach young people how to be resourceful. These proverbs can even add to the knowledge of the wise and give guidance to the educated, so that they can understand the hidden meanings of proverbs and the problems that the wise raise.” (Proverbs 1: 2-6)
I could not say it any better! More in next post.
God Loves Wealth!
