What does God say He will do to the wisdom of the wise?
According to the Old Testament, God Himself declares that He will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. This destruction looks toward the end time when Christ returns, setting things straight, not based on intellectuals, academia, or scientific achievement, but on His absolute righteous rule.
Les explains that verse 19 is a quotation from the Old Testament, spoken from God's own basis. God declares He will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Les teaches this looks toward the end time when Christ returns to set everything straight. It will not be based on intellectuals, academia, or scientific achievement, but on His absolute righteous rule. He is smacking the Greek philosophers head-on, showing that God has made foolish the wisdom of this world.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
