The Feast of
Prosperity
Our world is wracked by poverty, injustice and turmoil. But a little-known biblical festival reveals how a new world of peace and prosperity will dawn.
by Jerold Aust
King Solomon was one of the richest and, during his younger years, one of the wisest men in history. He prospered because He obeyed God and promoted peace through his wisdom. In fact, his kingdom had so much gold that “silver was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon” (1Kings 10:21).
The Queen of Sheba paid a visit to Solomon to verify what she had heard about him, his wisdom and his wealth. These were her parting words: “It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. However I did not believe the words until I came and saw it with my own eyes; and indeed the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame of which I heard . . . Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel! Because the LORD has loved Israel forever, therefore He made you king, to do justice and righteousness” (1Kings 10:6-9).
Wisdom, wealth and peace abounded in Solomon’s early reign. But his time was only a foretaste of an era of unprecedented peace and unparalleled prosperity that God promises will in time envelop the earth!
A feast of abundance
Wealth and affluence abound in the Western nations. Yet simultaneously millions suffer grinding poverty and thousands die every day for lack of food and malnutrition-related illnesses.
But it need not always be this way. At a time yet ahead of us, all human beings will have the opportunity to enjoy a prosperity unequaled in history.
