Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence
or stand in the place of the great;
for it is better to be told, "Come up here,"
than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.
--------------------
These two verses are simple enough to understand. They can be summed up as the proverb that says, “Stay within your means.” Still, this simple translation is incomplete, as the last portion of verse seven is omitted. A literal translation into English shows this is written:
6 “not do exalt yourself (or honor yourself) in the presence of the king ; and in the place
of the great , not do stand .”
7 “for agreeable he to say to you , ascend hither than for you to be abased of the face
inclined ; who has seen your eyes .”
Remembering that the Proverbs were a collection of Solomon’s wisdom, gifted to him by Yahweh, which came upon Solomon as a possessing goddess of the worldly realm (Solomon’s spiritual wife and his lord), his reference to “king” literally means Solomon wrote this proverb for non-royals to learn and remember. It says Solomon – who was the epitome of a ‘king like other nations,’ and nothing like his father David – spoke poorly of all pretenders to the throne (his enemies) that sought to take advantage of Solomon’s youth (at first) and his waywardness (later in life). These two verses can then be heard as a threat to all who would attempt to usurp his position as King of Israel (which would happen after his death).
The truth of this wisdom expressed by the mind and pen of Solomon is his consort – Goddess Wisdom – was a creation of Yahweh, as an “elohim” assigned to assist mankind in its quest to find Yahweh and return to Him through submission to Him as King (a Holy Husband for all wife-souls). The spirit (or elohim) Wisdom then whispered the proverbs to Solomon as a double-edged sword that cut both materially (Solomon’s world) and spiritually (Yahweh’s expectations). Thus, while Solomon’s mind wrote “king” and saw that meaning clearly a reference to himself (his wayward soul), Wisdom used a generic word that equally referred to Yahweh. Thus, the spiritual message of these two verses instructs those who stand high upon altars, slaughtering animals and burning them to Yahweh, were “exalting themselves (their souls) in the presence of Yahweh,” such that the people saw them standing high – closer to God – in a position that honored them as high priests, who were Yahweh’s servants.
This was the great lie projected upon the people, in the same way that Solomon taught the lie to bow down before human figures of wealth and power, rather than David teaching the people to be true reflections of “Israel” – “Who Retain the el of Yahweh,” the Son resurrected within each of their souls. Those true Israelites could “stand in the place of the great,” because “the great” (Yahweh’s Spirit and the soul of His Son) was what raised them to an equal status of the King, as His Son reborn – a Prince of Peace.
In verse seven the mistranslated Hebrew construct is “lip̄·nê,” which the NASB translates as “the presence.” The construct is rooted in the Hebrew word “panim,” which is the plural form for “paneh,” meaning “faces.” This says the following Hebrew construct, “nā·ḏîḇ,” meaning “noble,” implying “prince,” is a statement of divine possession not seen and not projected in the text of this verse. All Old Testament uses of words that imply “faces” must be read as a spiritual restatement of the First Commandment, which truly says, “Thou shall wear the faces of no other gods (elohim) before My face.” This means the lesson of this proverb says, “If you do not wear the face of Yahweh, as His Son resurrected within your soul-flesh, so his face projects through your physical face, as the Lord over your soul-flesh for Yahweh, then you cannot invite yourself (your soul) to stand high and proclaim, “I am close to God!” Anyone doing that is committing heresy, by breaking the First Commandment as they mislead others to follow their lead as equals on earth to the King in heaven.
Where the literal translation states “for agreeable he to say to you , ascend hither,” the agreement is the Covenant, which state the spirituality of divine marriage vows. Yahweh sent those vows down with Moses, as a proposal of marriage that would unite each “agreeable” individual soul with His Spirit. After that Holy Matrimony, the consummation of that union would immediately bring about the resurrection of Yahweh’s Son’s soul (one with a host soul), who would become the Lord of that soul-flesh and project the face of Yahweh through the physical face of one saved and awarded eternal life. This is then Yahweh inviting souls to “ascend hither,” into the Spiritual realm.
To rise with a “debased face” – the face of self-ego or the face of a possessing demon spirit (even Solomon’s spiritual face of earthly Wisdom) – says those faces should be “inclined” towards the ground, where their true master (Satan) has been cast. As such, the truth is “seen in the eyes,” which are said to be the ‘windows to the soul.’ If one’s soul is “abased,” it is “inclined” to death, not everlasting life.
