Qual é o significado de Provérbios 7? Em Provérbios 7 we read about a young man, who was seduced by a married woman, who had the attire of a harlot and was subtle of heart, and committed fornication. The young man is compared to an ox, who went for the slaughter, because that’s what sin does. The Bible warns, but it’s up to the people to listen and obey the words of God. Just like this young man, who was void of understanding, há muitos cristãos, who are void of understanding and through their ignorance they are tempted and go the same way, not knowing that their decision can mean the end.
The unwise young man was seduced by the fair speech and flattering lips of the woman with the attire of a harlot
Pois na janela da minha casa olhei pela minha janela, E vi entre os simples, Eu discerni entre os jovens, um jovem sem compreensão, Passando pela rua perto da esquina dela; e ele foi até a casa dela, No crepúsculo, à noite, na noite negra e escura: E, contemplar, encontrou com ele uma mulher com traje de prostituta, e sutil de coração. (Ela é barulhenta e teimosa; seus pés não estão em sua casa: Agora ela está sem, agora nas ruas, e fica à espreita em cada esquina.)
Então ela o pegou, e o beijou, e com uma cara atrevida disse-lhe, Tenho ofertas de paz comigo; hoje eu paguei meus votos.
Por isso vim ao teu encontro, diligentemente para buscar a tua face, e eu te encontrei. Decorei minha cama com colchas de tapeçaria, com obras esculpidas, com linho fino do Egito. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloés, e canela.
Vir, vamos nos encher de amor até de manhã: vamos nos consolar com amores. Pois o bom homem não está em casa, ele se foi uma longa jornada: Ele levou um saco de dinheiro com ele, e voltarei para casa no dia marcado.
Com seu discurso muito justo, ela o fez ceder, com a lisonja de seus lábios ela o forçou.
Ele vai atrás dela imediatamente, como um boi vai para o matadouro, ou como um tolo para a correção das ações; Até um dardo atingir seu fígado; as a bird hastes to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life (Provérbios 7:6-23)
The unwise Christians, who don’t keep the words and commandments of the Father and Jesus
This young man, who didn’t have understanding belonged to the simple ones and didn’t keep the commandments and law of his parents. Just like so many unwise Christians; Cristãos, who are void of understanding and don’t live according to the Word. They don’t listen to Jesus and keep the teachings of the Father. They don’t do the commandments of the Father and Jesus, but go their own way (Leia também: Obediência a Deus)..
A Because they are not led by the Word and don’t walk after the Spirit but are led by thier senses, feelings and emotions and walk after the flesh, they are an easy target for the devil.
As soon as the devil try to tempt them to sin, through vain thoughts, through means of pious and deceptive words of man or through (attractive) seducing people, they are not able to resist and fall into temptation.
Instead of destroying the lies of the devil with the Word of God and resist the temptation, they believe his lies and give into the (temporário) pleasures of the flesh and fall, just like the unwise young man, who was tempted by a married woman and commit adultery.
The woman was married, but the unclean spirit of lust that dwelled in her, tempted the unwise young man and persuaded him to commit adultery. Through adultery her lusts were satisfied (por um tempo).
How many times are Christians tempted and become apostate or fall, because of the lies and the temptations that come on their way. They could have prevented this from happening, if they would have only believed the words of God and kept His commandments.
The only way to resist temptation is to get understanding, através da Palavra de Deus, e ande segundo o Espírito. Only when you stay obedient to Jesus and walk after the Spirit, you will not give into the temptations of the flesh, mas você vai governar sobre eles.
Andar no Espírito, e não cumprireis a concupiscência da carne (Gal 5:16)
‘Seja o sal da terra’
