Who has gone up to heaven and come down...what is his name, and the name of his son? v. 4
This is one of those verses that seems to read best through the lens of the New Testament. What did the original readers of Proverbs make of it? Did they skim over it the way I have skimmed over some of Proverbs - figuring that it was some sort of strange allegory? Did they associate the son with the king?
So far this morning, I have been told all sorts of fantastical things - followed by "April Fool's!" Today is a "holiday" created for the under-10 set. My kids are revelling in the most fantastical stories. And I'm trying to read the Wisdom literature of Proverbs.
But on Maundy Thursday, we begin the crazy story that proves that foolishness is wisdom.
