Job 42, Reunion in Heaven!

Job 42:1,5-6, THEN JOB ANSWERED THE LORD AND SAID: ….”I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. THEREFORE I ABHOR MYSELF, AND REPENT IN DUST AND ASHES.”

Job basically said, “I TAKE BACK WHAT I HAVE SAID, AND I REPENT BEFORE MY MAKER”! Before he heard and read about GOD, BUT NOW HE SEES HIS PRESENCE IN THE WHIRLWIND!

Psa 51:17, The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart—These, O God, You will not despise.

Job 42:7, And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, THAT THE LORD SAID TO ELIPHAZ THE TEMANITE, “MY WRATH IS AROUSED AGAINST YOU AND YOUR TWO FRIENDS, FOR YOU HAVE NOT SPOKEN OF ME WHAT IS RIGHT, AS MY SERVANT JOB HAS. 

Job’s three friends are now scared for they have seen the wrath that Job endured, and NOW HIS WRATH IS ON THEM!

Heb 10:30-31, For we know Him who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.

Job 42:10, And the LORD restored Job’s losses WHEN he prayed for his friends. INDEED THE LORD GAVE JOB TWICE AS MUCH AS HE HAD BEFORE.

IF YOU COMPARE JOB 1:3 TO JOB 42:12, YOU WILL FIND THAT INDEED GOD GAVE JOB DOUBLE OF WHAT HE HAD BEFORE! BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS CHILDREN?

Job 1:2, AND SEVEN SONS AND THREE DAUGHTERS WERE BORN TO HIM. 

Job 42:13, HE ALSO HAD SEVEN SONS AND THREE DAUGHTERS.

You see, Job never lost the first 10 children, and in Heaven he is with all 20 of his kids! ONE DAY WE WILL EXPERIENCE A GREAT REUNION IN HEAVEN WITH FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS WHO LOVE THE LORD! THE SHEER JOY THAT AWAITS US IS BEYOND OUR IMAGINATION! BE READY FOR HE IS NEAR!!

1Co 2:9, But as it is written: “EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

Job 41, The Serpent satan!

Job 41:1-3, “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower? Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook? Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you?

While some believe the Leviathan to be a crocodile, I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DRAGON-LIKE DINOSAUR which can’t be tamed!

Job 41:10, No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. WHO THEN IS ABLE TO STAND AGAINST ME? 

If man isn’t able to stand against this mighty beast WHAT HOPE DO WE HAVE TO STAND AGAINST THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH?

Job 41:11, WHO HAS PRECEDED ME, THAT I SHOULD PAY HIM? EVERYTHING UNDER HEAVEN IS MINE. 

Everything seen and unseen are HIS! For HE created all things! Col 1:16

Isa 44:24, THUS SAYS THE LORD, YOUR REDEEMER, AND HE WHO FORMED YOU FROM THE WOMB: “I AM THE LORD, WHO MAKES ALL THINGS, WHO STRETCHES OUT THE HEAVENS ALL ALONE, WHO SPREADS ABROAD THE EARTH BY MYSELF; 

Job 41:33-34, ON EARTH THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HIM, Which is made without fear. He beholds every high thing; HE IS KING OVER ALL THE CHILDREN OF PRIDE.”

STILL DESCRIBING LEVIATHAN, BUT GOD IS COMPARING IT TO SATAN HIS OTHER CREATION!

Eze 28:14-15, “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, TILL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU.

GOD IS TELLING JOB, WITHOUT HIM WE CAN’T STAND AGAINST THE LEVIATHAN NOR THE SERPENT SATAN!

Eph 6:11, PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.

Deu 31:6, BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE, DO NOT FEAR NOR BE AFRAID OF THEM; FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES WITH YOU. HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.

Job 40, GOD answers Job!

Job 40:1-2, Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said: “SHALL THE ONE WHO CONTENDS WITH THE ALMIGHTY CORRECT HIM? HE WHO REBUKES GOD, LET HIM ANSWER IT.”

GOD taught Job and the others about HIS knowledge, wisdom and glory in chapters 38-39, In order to tell Job, “I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING JOB! EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE SUFFERING NOW, YET YOUR SUFFERING WILL TEACH OTHERS!

Isa 55:8-9, “FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NOR ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS,” says the LORD. “FOR AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS, AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS.

Job 40:3-5, THEN JOB ANSWERED THE LORD and said: “BEHOLD, I AM VILE; WHAT SHALL I ANSWER YOU? I lay my hand over my mouth. Once I have spoken, but I will not answer; Yes, twice, BUT I WILL PROCEED NO FURTHER.”

JOB KNOWS THAT HE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO HIS MAKER! Before he wanted to question God, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING GOD? THAT IS NOT A GOOD PLAN GOD? ANSWER ME GOD!

Job 31:35, ….OH, THAT THE ALMIGHTY WOULD ANSWER ME…

Isa 64:8, But now, O LORD, YOU ARE OUR FATHER; WE ARE THE CLAY, AND YOU OUR POTTER; AND ALL WE ARE THE WORK OF YOUR HAND. 

Job 40:8-9, “WOULD YOU INDEED ANNUL MY JUDGMENT? WOULD YOU CONDEMN ME THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED? HAVE YOU AN ARM LIKE GOD? OR CAN YOU THUNDER WITH A VOICE LIKE HIS?

Rom 8:28, AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. 

THIS VERSE APPLIES ONLY TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD OR ARE CALLED FOR HIS PURPOSE! GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING EVEN THOUGH YOUR SITUATION MAY LOOK CHAOTIC; TRUST IN HIM! HE REFINES US LIKE GOLD IN A FURNACE, THE IMPURITIES COME FLOWING TO THE TOP AND HE WIPES THEM AWAY! TRUST IN THE LORD YOUR MAKER; HIS WAYS ARE PERFECT BEYOND ARE UNDERSTANDING!

Job 33, God speaks to those perishing!

Job 33:14-15, FOR GOD MAY SPEAK IN ONE WAY, OR IN ANOTHER, YET MAN DOES NOT PERCEIVE IT. IN A DREAM, IN A VISION OF THE NIGHT, WHEN DEEP SLEEP FALLS UPON MEN, WHILE SLUMBERING ON THEIR BEDS,

God is always speaking to everyone, yet the majority do not listen or do not perceive!

Mat 13:14, … ‘HEARING YOU WILL HEAR AND SHALL NOT UNDERSTAND, AND SEEING YOU WILL SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE; 

Job 33:16-18, THEN HE OPENS THE EARS OF MEN, AND SEALS THEIR INSTRUCTION. IN ORDER TO TURN MAN FROM HIS DEED, AND CONCEAL PRIDE FROM MAN, HE KEEPS BACK HIS SOUL FROM THE PIT, AND HIS LIFE FROM PERISHING BY THE SWORD.

This is the reason GOD speaks to us! In order to keep our souls from the PIT of hell, from the pit of death away from HIM! This is HIS main purpose, that is why HE sent HIS SON, JESUS!

Luk 9:35, And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON. HEAR HIM!” 

Job 33:21-22, His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones stick out which once were not seen. YES, HIS SOUL DRAWS NEAR THE PIT, AND HIS LIFE TO THE EXECUTIONERS.

FOR THOSE THAT ARE PERISHING THEIR SOULS ARE DYING AND FADING AWAY.

Job 33:23-24, “If there is a messenger for him, A mediator, one among a thousand, To show man HIS UPRIGHTNESS, Then HE is gracious to him, and says, DELIVER HIM FROM GOING DOWN TO THE PIT; I HAVE FOUND A RANSOM!

Pastor’s, teachers, evangelist, and servants of the MOST HIGH need to teach HIS way to those who are perishing! THOSE THAT WHO OPEN THEIR HEARTS TO HIM AND LISTEN TO HIS WORDS, HE WILL DELIVER FROM THE PIT OF DEATH WHERE THERE IS NO HOPE!

Zec 9:11, “As for you also, BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF YOUR COVENANT, I WILL SET YOUR PRISONERS FREE FROM THE WATERLESS PIT.

IT IS BECAUSE OF JESUS’S BLOOD THAT WAS SPILLED ON CALVARY THAT WE ARE DELIVERED FROM WHAT WE DESERVE!

Job 33:28, HE will redeem his soul from going down to the Pit, And his life shall see the light.

Job 32, Wisdom comes from GOD!

Job 32:2, Then the wrath of Elihu, … was aroused against Job; HIS WRATH WAS AROUSED BECAUSE HE JUSTIFIED HIMSELF RATHER THAN GOD..

Job did indeed blamed GOD and justified himself, he has said many wrong things, but they were coming from his grief!

Job 27:2, “As God lives, who has taken away MY JUSTICE, AND THE ALMIGHTY, WHO HAS MADE MY SOUL BITTER,

Job believed that GOD was behind the attack on his life, yet it was satan himself! JOB SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT GOD IS THE DEFINITION OF LOVE AND IT IS AGAINST HIS NATURE TO ATTACK A RIGHTEOUS PERSON; NOT SINLESS, BUT RIGHTEOUS!

1John 4:7-8, BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER, for LOVE IS OF GOD; and everyone WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD. HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, FOR GOD IS LOVE.

Job 32:3, ALSO AGAINST HIS THREE FRIENDS HIS WRATH WAS AROUSED, BECAUSE THEY HAD FOUND NO ANSWER, AND YET HAD CONDEMNED JOB. 

His three friends condemned Job without cause without proof, yet that didn’t stop them from saying “IF YOU WERE PURE”?

Job 8:6, IF YOU WERE PURE AND UPRIGHT, SURELY NOW HE WOULD AWAKE FOR YOU, And prosper your rightful dwelling place.

Job 32:8-9, BUT THERE IS A SPIRIT IN MAN, AND THE BREATH OF THE ALMIGHTY GIVES HIM UNDERSTANDING. GREAT MEN ARE NOT ALWAYS WISE, NOR DO THE AGED ALWAYS UNDERSTAND JUSTICE. 

Elihu was young, but he knew that wisdom comes from GOD! With age comes wisdom is a general rule for the troubles of life is a great teacher, YET TRUE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING ONLY COMES FROM GOD!

Pro 2:6, FOR THE LORD GIVES WISDOM; FROM HIS MOUTH COME KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING;

Job 31, a covenant with GOD!

Job 31:1-3, “I HAVE MADE A COVENANT WITH MY EYES; WHY THEN SHOULD I LOOK UPON A YOUNG WOMAN? For what is the allotment of God from above, And the inheritance of the Almighty from on high? IS IT NOT DESTRUCTION FOR THE WICKED, AND DISASTER FOR THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY?

Job made a covenant with GOD regarding his eyes! Lusting over women is sinful and he knew himself! JESUS SAID,

Mat 5:28, BUT I SAY TO YOU THAT WHOEVER LOOKS AT A WOMAN TO LUST FOR HER HAS ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER IN HIS HEART. 

If we follow our example in life, JESUS, the lust of the eyes is not HIS way, but the world’s!

1Jn 2:16, FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD—THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES, and the PRIDE OF LIFE—IS NOT OF THE FATHER BUT IS OF THE WORLD. 

Job 31:13-15, “If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant When they complained against me, What then shall I do when God rises up? WHEN HE PUNISHES, HOW SHALL I ANSWER HIM? DID NOT HE WHO MADE ME IN THE WOMB MAKE THEM? DID NOT THE SAME ONE FASHION US IN THE WOMB?

Pro 22:2, The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all. 

We are not better than anyone else, WE ARE ALL HIS CREATION! IF WE OPPRESS ANYONE IT’S A REPROACH AGAINST THEIR CREATOR, GOD!

Pro 14:31, He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy. 

We are HIS Creation, but not all are HIS sons! BEING CALLED A SON OF GOD IS A PRIVILEGE TO THOSE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD AND HAVE RECEIVED HIM! IT’S A GIFT TO THE WORLD FOR ALL THOSE WILLING TO COME TO HIM! DON’T FOLLOW THE WAYS OF THE WORLD, BECAUSE IT ONLY LEADS TO DEATH!

Joh 1:12, BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM HE GAVE THE RIGHT TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD, TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIS NAME:

Job 30, Our true enemy!

Job 30:1, “But now they mock at me, men younger than I, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.

Before men used to listen to his wisdom (Job 29:21), but now even men whom he wouldn’t put in charge of the dogs mock him! ONE THING TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT JESUS WAS ALSO MOCKED BY MEN!

Joh 19:3, Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands. 

Today, Christians are counted as crazy because of our faith in CHRIST JESUS! THE WORLD HATED HIM THEY WILL ALSO HATE US!

Job 30:8-10, THEY WERE SONS OF FOOLS, Yes, SONS OF VILE MEN; They were scourged from the land. “AND NOW I AM THEIR TAUNTING SONG; Yes, I AM THEIR BYWORD. They abhor me, they keep far from me; They do not hesitate to spit in my face.

Because of Job’s faith in the living GOD, he is enduring the attack of satan through these men! WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN TRIALS BECAUSE OF OUR FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD!

Heb 11:36, STILL OTHERS HAD TRIAL OF MOCKINGS AND SCOURGINGS, YES, AND OF CHAINS AND IMPRISONMENT.

Job 30:11, BECAUSE HE HAS LOOSED MY BOWSTRING AND AFFLICTED ME, They have cast off restraint before me. 

Job believes that GOD has weaken him, but we know that this is an attack by satan, which GOD Allowed! GOD WILL NEVER TEMP YOU TO SIN AGAINST HIM LIKE SATAN WANTS JOB TO DO (Job 1:11)! “HE (Job) WILL SURELY CURSE YOU (GOD) TO YOUR FACE!”

Jas 1:13, NLT, And remember, WHEN YOU ARE BEING TEMPTED, DO NOT SAY, “GOD IS TEMPTING ME.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and HE NEVER TEMPTS ANYONE ELSE.

WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHO OUR TRUE ENEMY IS AND WHO IS TEMPTING US!

Eph 6:10-11, Finally, my brethren, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.

Job 29, waiting on the LORD!

Job 29:2-3, “Oh, that I were as in months past, AS IN THE DAYS WHEN GOD WATCHED OVER ME; When His lamp shone upon my head, And WHEN BY HIS LIGHT I WALKED THROUGH DARKNESS;

In Job’s eyes, his greatest lost was the fellowship he had with the LORD! job’s footsteps were guided by the light of his goodness even in times of darkness!

Psa 27:1, … The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

EVEN IN THE DARKEST, SCARIEST MOMENTS IN LIFE, THE LORD IS THERE READY TO HELP!

Heb 13:6, So we may boldly say: “THE LORD IS MY HELPER; I WILL NOT FEAR. WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?” 

Job 29:12-13, Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and the one who had no helper. The blessing of a perishing man came upon me, And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

Job wasn’t greedy with his wealth, he helped the poor, the needy and the widow! GOD used Job to bless others!

Heb 13:16, BUT DO NOT FORGET TO DO GOOD AND TO SHARE, FOR WITH SUCH SACRIFICES GOD IS WELL PLEASED. 

Job 29:21-22, “Men listened to me and waited, And kept silence for my counsel. After my words they did not speak again, And my speech settled on them as dew.

But now people look at him in awe! What happened to this man! What did he do? Even his friends turned on him?

Joh 13:7, Jesus answered…, “WHAT I AM DOING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND NOW, BUT YOU WILL KNOW AFTER THIS.” 

There are times in our lives when we just don’t understand what is happening, what is GOD doing, why am I going through this? BUT THOSE WHO KNOW THE LORD KNOW THAT HE HAS A PURPOSE FOR IT!  WAIT ON THE LORD!

Rom 8:28, And WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

Job 28, True hidden treasure! the LORD!

Job 28:1-2,4, “SURELY THERE IS A MINE FOR SILVER, AND A PLACE WHERE GOLD IS REFINED. IRON IS TAKEN FROM THE EARTH, And copper is smelted from ore. …. HE BREAKS OPEN A SHAFT AWAY FROM PEOPLE; IN PLACES FORGOTTEN BY FEET They hang far away from men; THEY SWING TO AND FRO.

Job is thinking that the earth holds many hidden treasures! Silver, Gold, Iron etc, BUT IT’S HARD WORK TO UN-EARTH! BUT, TO THE DILIGENT THESE TREASURES CAN BE FOUND!

Job 28:12-13, “BUT WHERE CAN WISDOM BE FOUND? AND WHERE IS THE PLACE OF UNDERSTANDING? MAN DOES NOT KNOW ITS VALUE, Nor is it found in the land of the living.

Pro 3:13, Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; 

Job 28:15-17, IT CANNOT BE PURCHASED FOR GOLD, NOR CAN SILVER BE WEIGHED FOR ITS PRICE. IT CANNOT BE VALUED IN THE GOLD OF OPHIR, IN PRECIOUS ONYX OR SAPPHIRE. NEITHER GOLD NOR CRYSTAL CAN EQUAL IT, NOR CAN IT BE EXCHANGED FOR JEWELRY OF FINE GOLD.

WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING IS BY FAR MORE PRECIOUS THAN ANY EARTHLY TREASURE; BUT, WHERE CAN IT BE FOUND?

Job 28:28, And to man He said, ‘BEHOLD, THE FEAR OF THE LORD, THAT IS WISDOM, AND TO DEPART FROM EVIL IS UNDERSTANDING.

As silver and gold and all precious stones are found in the earth, TRUE WISDOM IS ONLY FOUND IN HIS WORD! THE DILIGENT, BY READING HIS WORD DAILY, WILL FIND WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING!

Pro 1:7, THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE, BUT FOOLS DESPISE WISDOM AND INSTRUCTION.

Jer 9:23, Thus says the LORD: “LET NOT THE WISE MAN GLORY IN HIS WISDOM, LET NOT THE MIGHTY MAN GLORY IN HIS MIGHT, NOR LET THE RICH MAN GLORY IN HIS RICHES; 

DON’T GLORY IN YOUR WISDOM, IN YOUR STRENGTH OR WEALTH, BUT GLORY IN THAT YOU KNOW THE LORD AND HIS WORD! SEEK THE LORD AND YOU’LL FIND ETERNAL TREASURES AND ETERNAL LIFE!

Jer 9:24, BUT LET HIM WHO GLORIES GLORY IN THIS, THAT HE UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS ME, THAT I AM THE LORD, EXERCISING LOVINGKINDNESS, JUDGMENT, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE EARTH. FOR IN THESE I DELIGHT,” SAYS THE LORD.

Job 27, Whom shall you call on?

Job 27:8-10, FOR WHAT IS THE HOPE OF THE HYPOCRITE, THOUGH HE MAY GAIN MUCH, If God takes away his life? Will God hear his cry When trouble comes upon him? WILL HE DELIGHT HIMSELF IN THE ALMIGHTY? WILL HE ALWAYS CALL ON GOD?

Job has been calling on the LORD, BUT A HYPOCRITE, IN TIMES OF TROUBLE, WILL NOT LEAN ON THE LORD, BUT ON HIS OWN UNDERSTANDING! HE WILL NOT CALL ON GOD FOR HELP FOR HE TRULY DOESN’T BELIEVE!

Rom 10:13-14, For “WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.” HOW THEN SHALL THEY CALL ON HIM IN WHOM THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED? …

A Christian will always be driven closer to the LORD to seek understanding and wisdom!

Pro 3:5-6, TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.

DON’T TRUST IN WHAT YOU SEE, BUT TRUST IN WHOM YOU DON’T SEE! THE LORD IS WITH YOU AND SHALL NEVER LEAVE YOU!

Job 27:13-15, “THIS IS THE PORTION OF A WICKED MAN WITH GOD, And the heritage of oppressors, RECEIVED FROM THE ALMIGHTY: If his children are multiplied, IT IS FOR THE SWORD; And his offspring shall NOT BE SATISFIED WITH BREAD. THOSE WHO SURVIVE HIM SHALL BE BURIED IN DEATH, AND THEIR WIDOWS SHALL NOT WEEP,

Psa 109:13, Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 

The wicked man brings wickedness to his own home. He teaches his children to do the same and will reap the same benefit! DEATH, NOT JUST PHYSICAL, BUT AN EVERLASTING DEATH AWAY FROM THE FATHER!

Pro 22:6, TRAIN UP A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN HE IS OLD HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.
