Steward ☧: Wisdom mystery
Generation § record
Children of light § church

The history of the children of this age is a riddle; a parable/proverb [1]... the wisdom. But the children of holiness speak in plain truth.

Unjust Christ was unjust in giving mercy. Justice was satisfied in his death.

The wisdom חכם of God is hidden in riddle [2]
  1. De 28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
  2. Pr 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. [riddles]
