The wisdom of Solomon

Solomon takes the law and through the wisdom of God, re-presents it in Proverbs after distinguishing between universal laws and cultural laws. He bypasses the cultural laws, and expands on the universal laws. Through the wisdom of God, Solomon was a type of Christ. He saw the Gentiles being converted to the wisdom of God through adhering to God’s universal laws while not being required to stumble through the cultural laws. Whereas, Moses birthed a nation that would be governed by God’s written laws in every area of their life, Solomon saw an entire world that would be governed by God’s universal laws.
