The Bible's Seven Pillars of Wisdom

The seven pillars of wisdom in Proverbs 9:1-6 deal with preparing a meal.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom
-1. Wisdom has selected a life to be slain.
-2. She has chosen the wine.
-3. Wisdom's table has been furnished.
-4. Her servants announce from the highest places of the city: ""Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!""
-5. Her servants invite others to attend, including, ""Him who lacks understanding.""
-6. She commands: ""Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.""
-7. Wisdom's finale is: ""Forsake foolishness and live, and go in the way of understanding.""
These seven pillars have a vivid similarity to the Bible's first account of Creation and the seven festivals of the Lord (the Jewish people's seven annual festivals.
