That His judgment is different is a good thing. I'm glad He's like He is.

I wouldn't want to be him.

- Yes, temporary just when you have to suffer an operation or a cure to get better!

- Here it is a question of putting an end to human suffering!

- Then no one will be able to discuss God's leadership!

- No one will be able to contaminate the earth!

- No more wolves!

- For me, the choice is clear!

- On the one hand, you have a parasite leading to destruction, on the other hand, the creator of the universe, the source of knowledge and wisdom leading to eternal life!

- But the choice is not clear for many!

- Yes, you are right, his judgment is completely different!

- We just have to look at his creation for that!

- Everywhere we find design and immensity: in the universe,when you look through a microscope, when you study the brain...

- Every time you open a door, you get more doors to open without any limits!

That's for sure. We are so blessed to know Him. And to think that we'll spend eternity with Him. That fact that I complain just shows my frailty. And He chooses to live in us! Thanks for your teaching on Job and Daniel. They are very important books to me and you help me understand them better.

- Personally, I have never enough and I always want to know more!

- I always want to open more doors!

- My pleasure!

- I always want to study more and talk about God's word!

- There is so much to learn but time and effort are necessary!

- And it brings so much energy to go on and search more!

- And when people participate, you need to do more research and spend more time and more effort!

- But then you get even more energy!

- God is not responsible for man's or the devil's bad actions!

- But it will put an end to all of them!

- It's only a question of time!

- The problem for many is that God's time is not human time!

- Someone said Job lost all his children but not Yah.weh!

- Here's my answer!

- Job is a faithful servant of Yah.weh, an exceptional servant!

- Because of the devil, he must endure the impossibility of communicating with Job!

- He must endure the interruption of this exceptional relationship!

- He has to put up with Job's incomprehension and accusations against him, even though the devil is responsible for the situation!

- Let's also remember the episode where Yah.weh wants to test Abraham's fidelity!

- He allows him to have a son at the age of a hundred, even though Abraham thinks he's too old!

- He made him the promise, but time passes until he's a hundred!

- Once again, to test Abraham's fidelity!

- We can understand why!

- He promised him that he would be the father of a great nation that would possess the land of Canaan!

- He promised him that all the nations of the earth would be blessed through his posterity!

- Yah.weh constantly tests Abraham's faithfulness, culminating when he asks him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice!

- He gives him the ultimate test: offering his son as a sacrifice!

- Abraham knows perfectly well Yah.weh's promise to him!

- He knows that Yah.weh will be able to resurrect Isaac!

- But offering his son as a sacrifice is synonymous with extreme suffering!

- To bring about the death of one's own son is unbearable!

- Yah.weh wants to test Abraham's faithfulness, but more than that, it prefigures Jesus' sacrifice!

- Yah.weh causing the death of his own son to save mankind, a perfect life in exchange for a perfect life!

- Not only must Yah.weh endure this, but he must also endure seeing the suffering his own son must endure!

- And this is announced long before it happens!

- Obviously, the vast majority cannot understand this because of human tradition!

- The problem is that if we can't understand that, we can't understand anything!

- The whole Bible is based on the sacrifice of Jesus, everything that that implies, including Yah.weh's pain!

- Can we imagine the relationship between Yah.weh and Jesus?

- Not a chance!

- Yah.weh has lost nothing?

- Quite the contrary!

- This relationship is such that they are one, that Yah.weh trusts his son completely!

- They've been together for so long!

Job 3:

- Job can’t communicate with God anymore!

- And he is in big trouble!

- He has lost everything!

- So the first reflex is to die and rest!

- He doesn’t want to think anymore!

- His mind is dark!

- He has no hope!

- He feels lost without God’s presence!

- But for that, you need to have a relationship with Yah.weh!

- If you don’t have one, you don’t care!

- That’s the same with all the faithful servants of Yah.weh!

- Without a deep relationship with Yah.weh, what is the difference between someone who believes in God and someone who doesn’t believe?

- There are good people who don’t believe in God!

Job 4:

- Anguish!

- Calamity!

- The terrors from God!

- He wants God to kill him!

- It would bring him comfort!

- For he has not denied the sayings of the Holy One!

- His brothers have left him!

- He says the three individuals would sell their own friends!

- He hasn’t done anything wrong!

- Everybody is against him!

- And there is no God!

- It’s unbearable for him!

- Job wants to die!

- He has enough!

- A faithful servant of Yah.weh wants to die in spite of his faith!

- But he can’t communicate with Yah.weh anymore!

- Once again this situation tells about our relationship to Yah.weh!

- It tells about our personal relationship to Yah.weh!

- If we don’t have it, it doesn’t tell us anything!

- Do we regularly ask ourselves about our personal relationship to Yah.weh?

- Do we regularly ask ourselves about what we do to improve it?

Job 7:

- Man’s life is nothing!

- Job keeps being ill!

- He has no more life!

- No hope!

- His life is windy!

- No more happiness!

- He can only complain!

- About the anguish of his spirit!

- About his bitter distress!

- He makes nightmares!

- He has no more communication with God!

- He only thinks God is looking for his errors!

- Only DARKNESS!

- No light!

- Today darkness is spreading everywhere!

- We can look at it but if we only think about it, it will completely invade our minds!

- Hope is necessary!

- The possibility to think about Yah.weh changing everything and leading his faithful servants to the new promised land!

- We must look at it and concentrate on it!

- When we keep it in mind all the time, it doesn’t matter what we do, we can find energy!

- But we need to fuel this hope by reading and studying and speaking about the Bible and Yah.weh!

- It must keep being alive!

Job 9:

- Job says that God is everything!

- MIGHT!

- WISDOM!

- He can do whatever he wants with his creation!

- Man is nothing compared to him!

- When Job speaks to God, HE MUST CHOOSE CAREFULLY HIS WORDS TO ARGUE WITH HIM!

- “If I call out to him, will he answer me?”

- He thinks God is striking him!

- But Job keeps talking about his INTEGRITY!

- Yes, he tries to speak to God but there is no answer!

- AND JOB FEELS EMPTY!

- Yes, when Job speaks to Yah.weh, HE MUST CHOOSE CAREFULLY HIS WORDS TO ARGUE WITH HIM!

- Does it speak to you?

- Job has a deep personal relationship with Yah.weh and he knows him well!

- But he always shows him respect!

- Now think about the relationship between parents and children!

- And in particular a father and his children!

- They can have a deep personal relationship!

- But the father will always be the father of his children!

- So they must always show him respect!

- Today there is a problem with respect!

- Children often don’t respect their parents!

- And their parents don’t pay attention or don’t care!

- It will never work with Yah.weh!

- Yah.weh will never accept disrespect!

- The problem is that men often show disrespect to Yah.weh!

- Many Hebrews died for that!

- Many were saved by Moses for a time but at the end they died in the desert, they died at the destruction of Jerusalem!

- In fact, today we find disrespect everywhere!

- That’s why we get into big trouble!

- And it will keep growing!

- What about us?

- Do we show disrespect to Yah.weh?

Job 10:

- He loathes his life!

- He wants to vent his complaints!

- He wants to speak out in his bitter distress!

- He thinks God is against him and he doesn’t understand why!

- He speaks about dishonor and affliction!

- Yes, he keeps calling for God!

- And he will keep doing it!

- There is no other way for him!

- When we read about the faithful servants of Yah.weh in the Bible, we can see a deep personal relationship with Yah.weh and an incredible communication!

- It should encourage us to constantly develop and improve our relationship and communication with Yah.weh!

- We should constantly question the quality of this relationship and communication!

- We should never forget that Moses was the only one who could prevent on different occasions from eradicating the Hebrews!

- But an individual can’t prevent bad people from paying the consequences of their bad attitudes and the Hebrews were destroyed!

- Same will happen to the majority of mankind!

- But it has always been so!

- Why should it change!

Job 12:

- Yes, he is calling to God for an answer!

- Yes, God is wisdom and might!

- He can do anything!

- He can destroy anyone!

- YES, HE DOESN’T GET ANY ANSWER!

- And for him, it is unbearable!

- Because he is not used to it!

- For him, it is unnatural and unacceptable!

- UNNATURAL AND UNACCEPTABLE!

- Thinking about our personal relationship with Yah.weh!

- Calling for Yah.weh!

- Yes, we want to!

- I want to see through the darkness of this empty world!

- When I look at the relationship between the faithful servants of Yah.weh and Yah.weh, I want to investigate such a relationship!

- I have never had enough!

- I want this communication channel!

- I have never had enough to prepare for this new society!

- Because preparing means making it clearer!

- Making the way clearer!

- Staying the course!

- Sharpening your mind!

- Getting away from this world of uncertainty!

1)

- Let's think!

- Adam had a personal relationship with Yah.weh!

- We can talk by word of mouth!

- Why did he lose this special relationship?

- Why after having disobeyed Yah.weh, did he seek to hide from him?

 

[JLGJLG]

2)

Because God would be very angry and not forgive Adam, if there was a relationship, they would also open up situations in which he was disobedient, so God should not have ended the relationship just because of what Adam did. I don't know the truth and how bad what Adam did was.

But I guess Adam knew it was something serious, he did it, and maybe it wasn't the right thing to do, I guess the relationship ended because Adam was no longer guided by God.

 

[JLGJLG]

3)

- Excellent!

- This is the basis of the Bible!

- To study the Bible effectively, that is to say, to understand it, we must put ourselves in the context and forget our personal situation as modern humans!

 

[JLGJLG]

4)

- Adam had something exceptional that we no longer have but that it will be possible to obtain again in the future!

- He was perfect, we are imperfect!

 

[JLGJLG]

5)

- Yah.weh had given him perfection and with a particular context!

- He, his wife and his descendants could have lived forever!

- He lived in exceptional conditions, namely in a paradise!

- Eternal youth!

- There was no question of growing old!

- No diseases!

- There was no need to dress, which meant the weather was phenomenal!

8)

- He didn't need to work, the vegetation gave him the food he needed!

 

[JLGJLG]

9)

- He had an exceptional relationship with his creator!

 

[JLGJLG]

10)

- Yah.weh had given him a woman who suited him perfectly!

11)

- He could do whatever he wanted!
