Looking for Job

[JLG]

31) Looking for Job

- Having to deal with someone who is quadriplegic is also difficult!

- Of course, the person is not going to die!

- Thus there is always hope!

- Let’s think about Stephen Hawking the physicist: he could only use his brain but he did it in such a way and the specialists only gave him a short time to live and he could prove them to be wrong!

 

[Dizerner]

- Could you develop "righteous externally speaking"?

He was generous and didn't commit external sins.

But the worst sins of all are invisible and undetectable.

Under pressure Job showed what was hidden underneath, cursing his birth and blaspheming.

- It is very easy to understand why Job doesn't receive an answer if we take into account the fact that Job and the other men have only one reference which is Yah.weh!
- They have no idea about the devil!
- We must remembe thisr:

• If we think like today’s people, we will never understand the Bible!
• They used to write differently!
• They used to speak differently!
• They used to think differently!
• They used to act differently!

- There is a big difference between Adam and Job!

- Job was not in need of help, there was no secret hidden sin!
- He would make sacrifice for his children in case they would speak against Yah.weh in their hearts!
- This is just unbelievable and gives a good summary of Job and his personality and his extreme level of righteousness we can't even imagine!
- Because once again there is no one like him on earth!
- And Yah.weh is speaking, not a human being!
- And the devil knew it!
- That's why he tried to destroy such an incredible relationship!
- Because if he was successful with Job, he could do it with any human being!
- And he thought he would be successful!
- But it didn't work!
