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 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 26, used by satan, and the power of GOD!

Job 26:1-3, But Job answered and said: “HOW HAVE YOU HELPED HIM WHO IS WITHOUT POWER? HOW HAVE YOU SAVED THE ARM THAT HAS NO STRENGTH? How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared SOUND ADVICE to many?

Job, speaking to the three friends, HOW HAVE YOU HELPED ME? THEY INITIALLY CAME TO BRING HIM COMFORT, BUT ENDED UP ATTACKING HIM!

Job 13:4, 16:2, BUT YOU FORGERS OF LIES, You are all WORTHLESS PHYSICIANS …. MISERABLE COMFORTERS ARE YOU ALL! 

Job 26:4, To whom have you uttered words? And WHOSE SPIRIT CAME FROM YOU? 

WHAT SPIRIT SPOKE THRU YOU? Remember Peter, satan rebuked JESUS by using Peter! it looks as if satan used these three to further attack Job! JOB 4:15-17!

Matt 16:22-23, THEN PETER TOOK HIM ASIDE AND BEGAN TO REBUKE HIM, …. BUT HE TURNED AND SAID TO PETER, “GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!…

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE DEMON-POSSESSED FOR SATAN TO INFLUENCE YOU OR SPEAK THROUGH YOU! BE VIGILANT!

1Pe 5:8, BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 

Job 26:7-8, 13, HE STRETCHES OUT THE NORTH OVER EMPTY SPACE; HE HANGS THE EARTH ON NOTHING. HE BINDS UP THE WATER IN HIS THICK CLOUDS, YET THE CLOUDS ARE NOT BROKEN UNDER IT…. BY HIS SPIRIT HE ADORNED THE HEAVENS

The power and wisdom of GOD! HE STRETCHES OUT SPACE AND HANGS THE EARTH ON NOTHING! HE CARRIES TONS OF WATER VIA CLOUDS! ONLY THE LORD!

Job 26:14, INDEED THESE ARE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS WAYS, AND HOW SMALL A WHISPER WE HEAR OF HIM! BUT THE THUNDER OF HIS POWER WHO CAN UNDERSTAND?” 

WE ONLY SEE THE MERE EDGES OF HIS STRENGTH! GLORY BE HIS NAME!

Psa 139:6, SUCH KNOWLEDGE IS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME; IT IS HIGH, I CANNOT ATTAIN IT.

Job 1, a view behind the curtains!

Job 1:7-8, And the LORD said to Satan, “FROM WHERE DO YOU COME?” So Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” THEN THE LORD SAID TO SATAN, “HAVE YOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT JOB, …

1Pe 5:8, BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. 

We need to remember that the LORD is ALL KNOWING ALL SEEING. The LORD knows that Job has entered the mind of satan; THE LORD CAN CLEARLY SEE SATAN’S THOUGHTS!

Job 1:12, And the LORD said to Satan, “BEHOLD, ALL THAT HE HAS IS IN YOUR POWER; ONLY DO NOT LAY A HAND ON HIS PERSON.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.

GOD had a hedge of protection around Job and all he had, but now GOD gave him permission to touch the life of HIS servant Job! Satan took his servants, his wealth and killed his kids! He lost everything in a single day!

Job 1:16,19, While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “THE FIRE OF GOD FELL FROM HEAVEN AND BURNED UP THE SHEEP AND THE SERVANTS, … and SUDDENLY A GREAT WIND CAME FROM ACROSS THE WILDERNESS AND STRUCK THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE HOUSE,

By their perspective this was a judgement of GOD; Fire from heaven, a great wind! For us, we are given a view of what was happening in the background! It was allowed by GOD, but the work was carried out by satan!

Job 1:20-22, THEN JOB AROSE, TORE HIS ROBE, AND SHAVED HIS HEAD; AND HE FELL TO THE GROUND AND WORSHIPED. And he said: “NAKED I CAME FROM MY MOTHER’S WOMB, AND NAKED SHALL I RETURN THERE. THE LORD GAVE, AND THE LORD HAS TAKEN AWAY; BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.” IN ALL THIS JOB DID NOT SIN NOR CHARGE GOD WITH WRONG.

Job lost everything, BUT HIS FAITH IN GOD REMAINED STRONG! Not everything that happens to us is from the LORD. We live in a fallen world filled with sinful people; YET OUR EYES SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOCUSED ON THE GOD WHO CAN CHANGE ANY CIRCUMSTANCE! NEVER LOSE YOUR FAITH IN HIM; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL!

2Kings 11, the Return of the King!

2Ki 11:1, When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah SAW THAT HER SON WAS DEAD, SHE AROSE AND DESTROYED ALL THE ROYAL HEIRS. 

This wicked woman, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, when she heard the Jehu killed her son, she tried to kill all the lineage of David which is the line of the Messiah!

BUT JEHOSHEBA, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took JOASH THE SON OF AHAZIAH, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being murdered; … SO HE WAS HIDDEN WITH HER IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOR SIX YEARS, WHILE ATHALIAH REIGNED OVER THE LAND.

The LORD always has a remnant, and he kept Joash alive and hidden in the house of the LORD! Athaliah reigned for 6 years as satan’s reign on the earth for 6000 years, but the true king will Reign for 1000 years!

2Ki 11:12, And he brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, and gave him the Testimony; they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, “LONG LIVE THE KING!” 

Young Joash was 7 years old when he began to reign!  Athaliah was taken out and killed by the kings men!  AS WITH JESUS, HIS ANGELS WILL PUT SATAN IN THE PIT AND JESUS WILL BE KING OF ALL THE WORLD!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. In that day it shall be “The LORD is one,” And His name one. 

EVIL MAY REIGN TODAY, YET THE TIME IS COMING WHEN THE TRUE KING IS BROUGHT OUT OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD WITH ALL HIS ANGELS AND SAINTS! THE TIME IS NEAR!

2Kings, the unrighteous deception!

2Ki 1:2-3, Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, “GO, INQUIRE OF BAAL-ZEBUB, THE GOD OF EKRON, WHETHER I SHALL RECOVER FROM THIS INJURY.” But the ANGEL OF THE LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘IS IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO GOD IN ISRAEL THAT YOU ARE GOING TO INQUIRE OF BAAL-ZEBUB, THE GOD OF EKRON?’

For the vast majority of people, the LORD is always last on their list! BUT THERE IS A GOD, ONLY ONE GOD, IN ISRAEL WHO CAN HEAR AND HAS THE POWER TO HEAL! JEHOVAH-RAPHA “THE GOD WHO HEALS”

Luk 11:15, But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

Jer 17:14, HEAL ME, O LORD, AND I SHALL BE HEALED; SAVE ME, AND I SHALL BE SAVED, FOR YOU ARE MY PRAISE. 

Yet, Ahaziah turn to satan first, the father of lies! He wanted to hear someone say that he will recover even though it was a lie!

2Th 2:10, AND WITH ALL UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION AMONG THOSE WHO PERISH, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED. 

SEEK THE LORD FIRST IN EVERYTHING! LEAN NOT IN YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS!
