Looking for Job

56) Looking for Job


Job 9:

He made the Ash, the kesil, and the Kimah

constellations,

And the constellations of the southern

sky;


- Just opening our eyes at night when we can see some stars!


- Everything made by God is incredible!


- We can’t say the same with man!


- On the contrary, man is a pale imitator!


- Man can only destroy and pollute!

57) Looking for Job


Job 9:

He does great and unsearchable things,

Wonderful things that cannot be counted.


- They are so great and so numerous!


- And he used all his huge army of angels!


- God’s creation is so complex that man will never understand anything!


- Only crumbs!

In Chapter 8 by Bildad. Bildad suggests that Job could get his answers if he would approach God correctly.

Job basically says that he is headed for death. Job knows he will not get full answers in the grave. The full answers come at the resurrection. (Known by our reading the New Testament)

The answers Job gives in chapters 9 & 10 reflect insight into knowledge in the grave. Yes there is communication in the grave, but it is not complete.

We now know that at the last trump we will have knowledge. Job just knew it would be after the grave he would get answers. And I do not know beyond crumbs how much Job knew.

- For Job, it was clear!
- Nothing in the grave except rest!

That is about him describing darkness.

We today have the story of the rich man and Lazarus.
Putting Old Testament and New Testament linked together helps. IMHO

- Jesus uses a lot of parables!
- But before he resurrects people, each time he is quite clear even if people laugh at him!

It is clearer if:
Hebrews 6:4 kjv
4. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6. If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

2 Corinthians 3:14 kjv
14.But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

What the concept is can be understood, if you have Hebrews 6:4-6

Even then we see through a glass darkly.

Jesus used parables to conceal Matthew 13
Mark 4

The wise men saw the birth of Jesus in the stars. The wise men did not just say - wow stars. Not everyone is blind to higher meanings.

I wish I saw more.

Our kidneys show the brazen serpent in a pole. Right above the loop of Henley. Wikipedia.

- It also leads to an attempt to kill Jesus which shows who was behind!

58) Looking for Job


Job 9:

He passes by me, and I cannot see him;

He moves past me, but I do not discern him.


- God’s creation tells about god himself!


- We don’t understand his creation: that’s one thing!


- But God himself: no way, he is unbelievable!


- We can only approach his nature through his creation looking down!

 

[JLGJLG]

59) Looking for Job


Job 9:

When he snatches something, who can resist

him?

Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”


- God could have erased the devil and the demons and Adam and so on as the ridiculous human dictators usually do!


- But no, he let them all act to prove through God’s justice that they are liars and that God is the only one who can govern the universe and all its creatures!


- That’s why we have to bear human rats acting and bringing misery to humanity till God would have proved we are only rats unable to govern ourselves!


- That’s why we have to wait for God to put an end to this FARCE!

Jesus was slain from the foundation of the world. So I agree God has a plan.

60) Looking for Job


Job 9:

God will not restrain his anger;

Even the helpers of Rahab will bow down to him.


- When we think about the Israelites, they had to pay the price for their unfaithfulness and it happened many times I would say all the time!


- But Moses could prevent God from annihilating them all at once!


- So here again God is incredible because there is no one like him but he lets faithful human beings influence him: this is unbelievable!

 

[JLGJLG]

61) Looking for Job


Job 9:

How much more when I answer him

Must I choose my words carefully to argue

with him!


- This verse is incredible: it tells a lot about Job’s relationship with God!


- You can be close to someone but yet show respect and here Job says “choose my words carefully to argue with him”!


- I don’t remember something so deep!

 

[JLGJLG]

62) Looking for Job


Job 9:

Even if I were in the right, I would not answer him.

I could only plead for mercy from my judge.


- What does being right in front of God mean?


- He is the creator of everything!


- The universe is incredible!


- We don’t know anything!


- We have everything to learn from God!


- Even the possibility of living forever in the future won’t be enough!

 

[JLGJLG]

63) Looking for Job


Job 9:

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

I do not believe that he will listen to my voice,


- A human being is nothing compared to God!


- A creator of the universe and one small creature of his creation!


- Just think about the few cases who had the opportunity to have a personal contact with him!

 

[JLGJLG]

64) Looking for Job


Job 9:

For he crushes me with a storm

And multiplies my wounds for no reason.


- Here we go: Now Job finally speaks about what happened to him. He lost everything and even his health and so on. And here is the point: he only knows God and he has always served him faithfully and he has been blessed by him. And he keeps being faithful and he has lost everything all at once and he knows that it is not natural! So he can only think about God and he doesn’t understand why!


- Think about the Israelites: they only knew God! When they acted according to God’s will, they were blessed, but when they acted against him, they were struck!


- So the devil is really tricky because he knows that and he knows that Job will think that God is against him without any reason! So it is really insane!


- NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS ESSENTIAL ELEMENT AND WE MISS THE WHOLE STORY!

 

[JLGJLG]

65) Looking for Job


Job 9:

He does not let me catch my breath;

He keeps filling me with bitter things.


- Of course! And Job speaks about his physical and mental health!


- He speaks about his stress and his anguish and his lack of rest: In fact, he has no rest!


- It is worst than torture!

 

[JLGJLG]

66) Looking for Job


Job 9:

it is a matter of power, he is the strong one.

If it is a matter of justice, he says: “Who can

call me to account?”

- These words of Job clearly show his misunderstanding of the situation!


- Now think about God: For God there is no one like Job on earth, there is no one as faithful as him, and he must let Job think what he thinks because of the devil to show that he is a liar and also because all the angels are observing the situation! The more we learn about God, the more we may understand it was a really difficult and painful situation for God because he really cares about his faithful servants!

Especially His Son Jesus.
