Looking for Job
Job 9:6
- All the forces of nature made by God are powerful!
- Many people die every year because of them!
- And as the human population keeps growing, the death toll increases too!
- Because of human activities we may increase their consequences!
- But man always thinks of the present and not of the future!

Job 9:8
- The universe is made of emptiness and yet there is so much activity
- And everything is balanced, the whole keeps together in spite of everything going in every direction!
- And we can say the same with the oceans: they are so powerful!
- And yet the only thing we find is polluting them and destroying life inside!
- We can see the majesty of God and man appears as a rat: but he will never be able to destroy God’s creation!

Job 9:12
- 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!

Looking for Job
Job 9:17
- 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!

Job 9:19
- 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!

Looking for Job
Job 9:20
- Job has so few elements so he can only be lost!
- Once again he only knows God, his only reference is God, there is nothing else!
- It’s astonishing the consequences that missing two essential elements can produce!
- JOB ONLY HAS ONE REFERENCE: YAH.WEH!
- THE BOOK OF JOB SHOWS US ALL THE WEAPONS USED BY THE DEVIL!
- AND ONLY HIS WEAPONS!
- THIS IS A COMPLETELY UNBALANCED FIGHT!
- YAH.WEH CAN DO NOTHING TO DEFEND JOB!
- BECAUSE JOB’S LOYALTY IS AT Stake!
- JOB IS ALL ALONE FACING THE DEVIL!
- AND HE ONLY HAS ONE WEAPON: HIS LOYALTY!
- But even when we do not have these two elements, the words of Yahweh concerning Job should allow us to understand Job's attitude!
- THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH!
- It is probably because fidelity to Yah.weh is something extremely rare that we can allow ourselves to criticize Job!
- Normally it should be the opposite!
- He should be an example of faithfulness for all of us!
- But if Yah.weh does not do it, what right can we afford to do it?
- Nowhere in the Bible is there a faithful man who makes sacrifices taking into account the possibility of his children speaking evil of Yah.weh in their hearts!
- Nowhere!
- How is it possible to criticize him?
- Is this unforgivable?
- Such ignorance is beyond me!
- Especially when it is widespread!
- When infidelity is the rule everywhere, we seek to condemn fidelity!
- Find the error!

Looking for Job
Job 9:21
- Job is faithful to God and he is not going to change!
- But he knows his situation and he can’t bear it, he has enough of it!
- The use of the two verbs keep / reject are clear: he makes a difference between his faith in God and his life!
- Remember his personal situation: month after month, nothing improves, on the contrary, everything goes worse!
- And the three individuals are there to make it worse so he doesn’t get any rest!
- But whatever happens, his faithfulness is not for sale!
- But he has no hope, so it would be better to put an end to it!

Job 9:22
- When Job thinks of his dreadful situation, knowing that he has done nothing wrong, there is no difference between being innocent and wicked!
-Think about Job’s feelings!
- He is bitter!
- He has no hope!
- And time is working against him!
- Yes, there is no one like him on earth!
- Thus, it is difficult to imagine!
- It is why we have a lot to learn from him!
