Seven Pillars of Wisdom

During our most recent meeting, the question was asked:
"Why is Wisdom, referred to as female?"
That question was in reference to Prov.9:1
Starting with that verse... here are verses 1-6:
"1 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars. 
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city, 
‘Let all who are simple come to my house!’ To those who have no sense she says, 
‘Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. 
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.’" 
Proverbs 2:6 reads; "For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."
Prov.2:6 helps us to see that God is the ultimate source of all wisdom. Any wisdom sent by Him into the world, is by means of His spirit. -- Those who become the 7 pillars of wisdom (Prov.9:1; Rev.3:12), are those who convey, the "seven spirits of God, sent out into all the earth" (Rev.5:6).
They are also seen as "horns"(with eyes/lamps -Matt.6:22; Rev.4:5) on the head of Christ the Lamb (Rev.5:6). "Horns" are kings (Rev.17:12; 5:10). 
In all these considerations; those who are the seven pillars of wisdom, are a part of the Temple of God (Rev.3:12). That temple, is his priesthood (Rev.3:12; 1Cor.3:16; 1Pet.2:5
That Temple is also the Bride of Christ (Rev.21:2-3,6; 22:17). She is the heavenly mother (Gal.4:26) who offers wisdom from God (Rev.22:17,1).
This is why the source of Wisdom, is referred to as female. It comes to mankind through the 7 pillars of God's Temple, which belong to, the Bride of Christ.
