If one read Proverbs chapter 8, they could learn the following about the Messiah (Christ);
Known As ‘Wisdom’
Christ was also poetically known as ‘…wisdom…’ (Proverbs 8:12) before being born a man on this earth, and this is verified in Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:34-35.
‘“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence…’
(Proverbs 8:12 ESV)
‘The Son of Man… wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
(Matthew 11:19 ESV)
‘The Son of Man… wisdom is justified by all her children.”’
(Luke 7:34-35 ESV)
Created Before The Earth
Christ was created before the earth was (Proverbs 8:22-23 NASB).
‘“The LORD created me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
… From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.’
(Proverbs 8:22-23 NASB2020)
Involved In Creation Of All Things Created
Christ was involved in the creation process of all things (John 1:1-3 NWT) in heaven and on earth (Proverbs 8:24-30), and is described as a ‘…master workman…’ who works for G-d, by His side (Proverbs 8:30 ESV).
All things includes positions of authority in the heavens and the earth (Colossians 1:15-17);
‘…the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.’
(Colossians 1:15-17 ESV)
Everlasting Life
All who believe in Christ live forever without end after this relatively short existence (Proverbs 8:35, Isaiah 28:16, Ephesians 2:20, John 3:14-15).
For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the LORD,
Proverbs 8:35 ESV
‘…a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’’
(Isaiah 28:16 ESV)
‘…Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,’
(Ephesians 2:20 ESV)
‘…the Son of Man… whoever believes in him may have eternal life.‘
(John 3:14-15 ESV)
