The fear of Yahuwah is the beginning of wisdom
One doesn’t need to search far to determine the fundamental essence of science.
Through the words of Elohim, we gain a precise understanding of what the original concept of science means. This is also confirmed by the New Testament. Additionally, the concrete and tangible branches of the human sciences, like biology, chemistry, and physics, also bear witness to this.
We can uncover the most tangible and profound scientific insights ever recorded in the world, authored by the wisest individual to have ever existed: King Solomon. This wisdom is articulated within the book of Proverbs, as we will explore further below.
The created world bears witness to this
Especially starting from chapter 8, we encounter profound revelations regarding the essence of science, a term closely connected to knowledge and wisdom itself. I encourage the reader to read through the entire chapter to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the personified wisdom depicted there.
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. Proverbs 8:1-6
The personification of wisdom conveys to us that it is inherently present wherever we direct our gaze. Observing the created world fundamentally attests to the immeasurable power and wisdom of Elohim.
The secular sciences also bears witness to this
We encounter similar ideas expressed by the writing of another great sage from a later period:
…Because that which may be known of Elohim is manifest in them; for Elohim hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power… Romans 1:19-20
Based on research in quantum physics, it is known that the world is made up of tiny vibrating strings, infinitely smaller than atoms.
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. Proverbs 8:10-12
He brought forth all things through the Word of Elohim, His Word, who is Yahushua. All living creatures owe their existence to this. As I previously mentioned in my article: YHWH is genetically coded into us.
I emphasize that within the core of every living being, the name of Yahuwah resonates, like an unceasing symphony at the very essence of matter.
Everything came into being through the Word of Elohim. Like any spoken word, this Word also carries a resonance that has never ceased to reverberate since. The phenomenon referred to as cosmic microwave background radiation is, in reality, a misinterpretation in which the echoes and repercussions of the Big Bang are thought to be detectable through certain electronic devices, rather than those of the Creator.
Yahushua HaMashiah is Wisdom
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. Yahuwah possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him… Proverbs 8:19-30
By using earthly scientific instruments, we are capable of identifying the signature and mark of the Eternal within the created universe.
The physical laws are in perfect harmony with the spiritual laws: the Torah. And these two cannot be separated.
Anyone who separates the physical laws from the Mosaic laws, which are sealed and confirmed by the Messiah, as we read in the New Testament, arrive at conclusions that are human and erroneous based on their observations and investigations..
Here too, let’s be gentle/wise like doves. Let us embrace what is worthy among scientists, even if they are atheists, as long as they deserve the label of genuine science. At the same time we must reject any other mythological pseudo-science under the guise of natural sciences. Let us emphasize the truths originating from the operational sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), and set aside the narrators like paleontologists and other naturalists whose conclusions are heavily built upon assumptions rather than direct and simple observation of natural occurrences.
Upon doing so, we will come to realize that genuine sciences, specifically the operational sciences, do indeed corroborate the revelations found within the Bible.
To close this article, here is a warning which is none other than the continuation of the previous verse:
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of Yahuwah. Proverbs 8:32-35
In summary and concisely, the real science, the knowledge of Yahuwah, basically consists in welcoming the Spirit of the Creator and creating in us the conditions so that He can function freely through our person.
As for the Creator, he is none other than the One by whom, in whom and for whom the world was formed, the right hand of the Father, His creative power, the Word uttered by the One who engenders: the Son.
By accepting the Covenant with the Son, all the knowledge of the Father will be gradually revealed to us from within, from the depths of our hearts and minds, by the action of Ruach HaKodesh.
