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.”
