The biblical prophet Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: "Intelligence without wisdom is a boat without water." - Yours Truly. Intelligence and wisdom are in no way related. Wisdom is the ability to know the limits of an irrational (limited, sensory-informed) mind. Wisdom is the ability to know that you DON'T know, as Socrates illustrated with an incomparable genius. As for my identity, a soul returns again and again, but as a different man each time. That's why, in the New Testament, JC said that John the Baptist was the prophesied first return of Elijah - but when asked if he was Elijah, John said "no". Elijah in one lifetime, John in another, and Tom this time. Elijah wasn't a Jew, and neither am I. With that out of the way:
I always intuited that Jews are more intelligent, as a group, than other groups. And then I read somewhere that their average IQ is 115, as opposed to around 90 for most other groups. And knowing what I know, this is pure Fate and nothing else.
There are no measurement tests for wisdom, but wisdom is my gift. I'm from a small midwestern town. And when I met a Jew for the first time I was in my thirties. He was obviously very intelligent. When I asked him his IQ, he said it was 140. But in our conversations, he also demonstrated to me a lack of wisdom.
Jesus Christ fulfilled Scriptures concerning the Jewish Messiah and rose from the dead in the midst of fellow Jews, leaving behind a photograph of the event called the Shroud of Turin. And yet, Jews find it hard to connect-the-dots. Why? When one lacks wisdom one thinks one knows things that one does NOT know, and one clings to one's preconceived notions - and TRADITION is allowed to overrule reason. This is due to FEAR, which is always in an inverse relationship to WISDOM. More fear, less wisdom, and visa-versa.
Intelligence is limited and will never attain enlightenment without wisdom. For, wisdom is the open door that allows the Mind that is ALL - "GOD" - to impart true knowledge.
All mysteries have been revealed and published in these "end times": the end of the old Cycle of Time that the New Cycle may be born. And those who seek will find.
