The Book of Proverbs |
| Proverbs 2:3-6 |
For if you cry for discernment, lifting up your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver, and search for her as hidden treasures,then you shall understand the fear of Jehovah and find knowledge of God.For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth are knowledge and understanding.

| Apocalypse Revealed 961 |
...the Lord is the very gate, by which men are to enter into the church and thence into heaven, He Himself teaches in John:
I am the door; by Me if anyone enter in, he shall be saved (John 10:9).
And that the acknowledgment and knowledge of Him is the pearl itself, is meant by these words of the Lord in Matthew:
The kingdom of the heavens is like unto a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who when he had found one precious pearl, went and sold all that he had, and bought it (Matt. 13:45-46).
"One precious pearl" is the acknowledgment and knowledge of the Lord.
