"Wisdom cries aloud in the streets; in the marketplaces she lifts up her voice..." Wisdom cried aloud to Moses, to Solomon and Agur, to the disciples in Galilee, and to the seven churches in Asia. And I daresay it continues to cry out.
The things that are seen may change, but
"behind the scenes it is the same spiritual forces at work." That is why the Spirit spoke to the church in Thyatira for tolerating the woman Jezebel, and why Paul wrote that the rock which followed Israel was Christ.
The dark forces hide, and masquerade themselves as something else. Even Satan pretends to be an angel of light. And so forth: WL might decry religion, and we decry WL's religion, and both of us might be in vain.
"I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope." This word is true; it was true (to some degree) in David, it was truth in Jesus Christ, and its truth is still being revealed today. Truth is not something that we can examine like the springs of a clock. We simply believe that it is there in God's Word. What we do by faith is abandon everything that is behind, and go forward. The truth lies before us somewhere; and it is near, even in our hearts and in our mouths.
"For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
