Proverbs 13:23
23 Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
And for lack of justice there is waste.
Proverbs 10:4
the hand of the diligent makes rich
Proverbs 13:4
the soul of the diligent shall be made rich
Proverbs 26:11
a dog returns to his own vomit
What is the answer? Justice is the appropriation of all that Jesus gives. There is a difference between the verses above, about the diligent. The first one concerns working with one's hand, and the second one concerns the soul. The difference is in knowing that it is by the desires of our heart that we enter in. Therefore for those who are poor, the desires of their heart lead them into prosperity, their soul also being made rich. And this happens through cultivating the fallow ground. But isn't this definition of what Peter said happens to those who fall away? No. Those who are not becoming one with what they sow, these are the ones that do not possess the knowledge of God, and His promises. Therefore the false teachers are exposed, as to only carousing in the daytime. And this is the context of what Peter spoke about.
Proverbs 14:4
Where no oxen are, the trough is clean;
But much increase comes by the strength of an ox
This is the fallow ground of the poor, the trough.
Proverbs 14:8
The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way
Proverbs 13:16
Every prudent man acts with knowledge
God can 'order' our every breath. It is not eccentric, to walk, as to continually following the Spirit of God. And to have Him involved in everything that we do, say, think, and more. In the gospels, a blind man was by the road, when Jesus walked by. And he found out that it was Jesus, and began calling out. They told him to be quiet, and he called out all the more. Then Jesus had him brought to Him, and He healed him. There is a sensitivity that we can have, where we can notice the movements of God. Just as the prophets in the OT did. Saying things like "and then the hand of the LORD was upon me."
Proverbs 14:15
the prudent considers well his steps
If you take away spirituality, and what the four living creatures symbolize, there is only the physical. And without the spiritual in the physical, the physical is only sin and death. The four living creatures symbolize how we still have relationship even when we are not so physically present. For instance, if someone walks out of the room, there is still relationship. A person can still meditate within themselvse concerning another. This can even happen when two people are with each other. Going on from this, we can prepare our way, in relationships, though the other person is not physically present. Preparing the way consisting of asking, seeking, knocking, praying, meditating, and more. Even the way nature is set up shows this. Because we have air all around us, and unto us, it's substance is invisible. Very truly, we can have atmosphere when we are with other people, just as we can feel things, and have relationship that is not visibly manifesting, even within ourselves. At the same time, though science does offer data regarding being able to discern sound waves and such, the atmosphere that people share together, is very much so physically invisible. Just as a person's personality is incomprehendable to science. Science may be able to look at DNA, but it's data is incomprehendable regarding being able to outwork it physically. Therefore, without the spiritual, there is only the physical. And having the physical without the spiritual, only leads into emptiness. Even to try to have the spiritual, but have it be founded upon the physical leads into the same emptiness, though it does offer some temporary lukewarmness.
The difference between the living creatures in Ezekiel, and the living creatures in Revelation 4, is that in Ezekiel there is the face of an ox. And it is in the testimony of Proverbs 14:4, and the above things. Therefore also, the poor that are mentioned above, are also likened unto the be-attitudes, concerning being poor in spirit. For being poor in spirit is in being dead to the world and the physical without the spiritual, and being open unto receiving the fullness of fullness from God. So as to become totally impoverished to the world, but alive and rich in unto God. And then have this be given into the physical, still coming from being one with Him, and all that He gives. The four living creatures are also what the speaking idol is a fake of. The seraphim that are spoken of in Isaiah 6 show how the four living creature's wings cover themselves. The seraphim's wings covered their feet. And the feet symbolize peace, the gospel, and everything that has to do with walking. The four living creature's wings, of the four that each of them had, showed two stretching out, and two covering themselves. With this, through our feet walking in the Spirit, so is there relationship and witness in our private and 'public' lives. The wheels with the living creatures in Ezekiel are the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. And the spirit of the living creatures are in the wheels, showing also that we are perfect, sinless, and incorruptible inwardly, and are given this by God; also having this forever. The eyes that are around and within the living creatures in Revelation 4 show how we are still in relationship with people even though we are not so physically present. As I described above. Meaning that we have spiritual, and physical relationship. Going on from this, the point that is made in Ezekiel, about how the living creatures only go straight, and do not turn, shows both that this relationship is not crooked; and that while we deal with sin in this world still, that we do not give provision for it, through giving up on the good straight direction, just because darkness manifests. What can happen, is that people could draw or shrink back because darkness manifests. But we do good, and if evil manifests, we still continue to do good, as Jesus did with His sufferings and death. This actually is how Paul and the early church were accused of doing evil so that good might come. The eyes around the rims of the wheels in Ezekiel show how all who are His, are together in Him. Because eyes represent spirits. The noise of the army, being the sound of the wings, also may be the very existence of the exceedingly great army from Ezekiel 37. Just as also, the noise of the wings is likened unto waters. And the waters are what divide the heavens. There being three heavens, and three waters. As earth is the first heaven, and has water, and as the second water is between earth and the second heaven, and as the third water is between the second heaven and the third heaven. Therefore all that comes from the third heaven, where God is, goes through all of the other waters and heavens. And we are baptized/immersed in water. And live in the heavens. Also being seated with Christ. The circle of heaven/earth shows what the waters and heavens are. The third heaven is love, the water between the third and second heaven is forgivenenss. The second heaven is the Soul of Christ. The water between the second and first heaven is repentance. The earth is as righteousness. And below the earth are it's waters, just as the waters are what is in the deep in Genesis 1:1-2, God's Spirit itself being the deep, which had not yet physically created. Humility, judgment, and mercy are below the earth, the seven pillars of wisdom also being in humility, which is a pillar. The likeness of the firmament, a firmament being a pillar or heaven; that was above their heads, and was crystal, represents cleanness. And this is what the mark of the beast is a fake of.
