• The devil told them they wouldn’t!
• What happened?
• They died!
• Thus from the beginning to the end, it will always be the same!
• There will always be two ways to read and understand and apply the Bible!
• One way for a majority (indefinite article) and one way for a minority (indefinite article)!

• It happened to Israel!
• It happened to Judah!

• It will happen to mankind!
• It is always a question of life or death!
• When I started publishing on the internet, I started to study the book of Job!
• And I had many discussions!
• And I also read many commentaries from specialists!
• And they usually made the same mistake!
• They would analyze the book of Job with modern eyes not as it was in Job’s time!
• The problem is that Job had only one reference:God!
• Thus he could only think about what was happening to him because of God!
• And on one occasion he says, if it's not God, who is it?
