There are a list of names found in Numbers chapter 1 from verses 5 to 16, which have important name meanings. These name meanings* form secret messages from God in a number of cohesive paragraphs. (*Which God revealed to me based on the Strong's Concordance). Further down this article, you will see these cohesive secret messages from God.

We have looked at the name meanings from Numbers chapter 1, verses 5-16. Using the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, we have found out their derivations. And, this writer has found from God (glory be to God) what the spiritual meanings of the names are, using the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance as a foundation. 

In the three articles below, we have shown how we arrived at these God-breathed secret messages (which are formed out of the Hebrew name meanings in Numbers chapter 1). 

Here are the three articles:

PART 1 of 3. 
PART 2 of 3.

Below, we have placed three bold-font, paraphrased paragraphs which consist of the name meanings (strung together) of the 37 names in Numbers 1:5-16. These meanings came from looking at the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and seeking God about each name. None of this is by whim or guessing. We encourage you to seek God about these names and their meanings, if you would like. (Look at the above links to Parts 1 through 3 to see how we discovered these paragraphs.)

The Wisdom of God Versus the Wisdom of the World (James 1:5 Expounded)

The Wisdom of God Versus the Wisdom of the World (James 1:5 Expounded) [Print Document]

James 1:5 — “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

There are two types of wisdom that God speaks of in His Word, the Bible: (1) the wisdom of the world and the devil; and (2) the wisdom of God. The wisdom of the devil is the main factor controlling the wisdom of the world because the devil is the leader (“god”) of this world.  2 Corinthians 4:4 says: “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

The Greek word for “god” is theos, which can apply to God Himself, but it also applies to false gods and even magistrates (a civil official). So, Satan, in essence, is called the magistrate or ruler of this world. With his demonic “wisdom,” the devil has blinded the minds of people who do not believe the truth, which is found in the Bible.

The Carnal Mind and the Devil

This demonic “wisdom” is what Satan promotes to people through Hollywood movies, religions, philosophy, the arts, science (which is really made of man’s hypothesis and theories), psychology, and through many other systems of belief about the world in which we live. This “wisdom” is foolishness to God. Paul (by the Holy Spirit) wrote these words:

[1 Corinthians 3:18-21]

“[18] Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. [19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. [20] And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. [21] Therefore let no man glory in men.”

The world has wisdom, but it is foolishness with God. With all due respect, we can even say that the wisdom of doctors, and psychiatrists, and medical professionals is foolishness with God. How so? If the beliefs of a doctor or psychiatrist is not in agreement with God’s Word, the Bible, his (or her) advice to instruction to you is foolishness with God (if it contradicts God’s Word). For, example, a doctor tells a patient that he only has a month to live. According to the wisdom of the natural world, the patient has a serious form of cancer that “cannot be cured.” But, what does God’s Word say?

The Reason We can Be Healed
