Matt. 13:44-46 we have the parable of the pearl. Must see that he is talking about the kingdom of heaven. v.47 now it is a net. we have a field , a net, a pearl.
In Rom. 14:17 we notice a non broken connection between God in heaven and God the Holy Spirit. it is a kingdom. Jesus of that is also called the King.
In Job 28:13, 15, 18, As you read 13-18 and meditate , you will see he is talking about a non worldly thing. it is better than that which so great but far lesser. treasures of wealth are dull to it. it is called God's wisdom.
In 2 Cor. 4:7-8 We have treasures in earthen vessels. treasure in Greek is thesauros. That is where we get a book filled with treasure of knowledge. The Holy Spirit is a deposit of wealth (wisdom) in us. That pearl is greater than rubies.
In Prov. 31:10 we have a virtuous woman. In Hebrew virtuous means wealth, valor, strength, great force, might , power, riches. In Matt. 5:30 The woman touched Jesus and virtue went out of Jesus.
In Prov. 31, notice two words. wealth and riches. she is a woman filled with treasure (virtue). Her wealth comes from within.
The point we have here is that God's Spirit puts within the Believer his Holy Spirit to cause a treasure of wisdom which is far greater than worldly wealth of any kind. A lack of faith will only see a lust of the flesh, and of the eyes, and pride of life. Wisdom comes by the eyes of faith. see James 1:5 If you lack wisdom ask of God who gives freely (liberally) to all. But ask in faith. God has deposited the earnest of our inheritance into us. That is greatest treasure.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
