2
\n00:00:04,280 –> 00:00:07,560
\nThis being the 6th and last
\nsession with our brother Warren <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:07,560 –> 00:00:11,680
\nPhillips speaking on the subject
\nI saw considered my servant Joe.<\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:12,800 –> 00:00:16,239
\nThis morning’s session is
\nentitled The Epilogue. <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:16,320 –> 00:00:19,040
\nThe Lord turned the Captivity
\nCaptivity of Job. <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:24,080 –> 00:00:27,120
\nGood morning everyone.
\nI’ve been stringing you along <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:27,120 –> 00:00:28,760
\nall week for this session,
\nhaven’t I? <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:29,480 –> 00:00:32,560
\nI hope you won’t be too
\ndisappointed, but I know there <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:32,560 –> 00:00:34,800
\nare a number of individuals that
\nare here today that have not <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:34,800 –> 00:00:38,720
\nbeen here earlier in the week.
\nAnd also, I’d like to refresh <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:38,720 –> 00:00:42,680
\nyour memory by a brief review,
\njust so that we will be ready to<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:42,680 –> 00:00:46,240
\nconsider the epilogue with as
\nmany pertinent points fresh in <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:46,240 –> 00:00:49,840
\nour mind as we possibly can.
\nI realize that our time is <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:49,840 –> 00:00:53,520
\nlimited and I’m going to have to
\nmove along reasonably rapidly. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:54,280 –> 00:00:57,440
\nWe start out considering a very
\nunique book, a book that <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:57,440 –> 00:01:00,160
\nprobably is the second oldest
\nbook in our Bibles. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:00,760 –> 00:01:03,760
\nAnd we recognize that the book
\nof Job has a purpose as many of <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:03,760 –> 00:01:06,640
\nthe others, probably all of the
\nother book of the Bible, have a <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:06,640 –> 00:01:08,680
\nparticular theme.
\nSo does the book of Job. <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:09,160 –> 00:01:12,760
\nThe purpose of Job is the
\nproblem of suffering in relation<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:12,760 –> 00:01:15,840
\nto the righteousness of God.
\nIn other words, is it right? <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:16,360 –> 00:01:20,680
\nIs it proper that God should
\npermit, yet even cause, a <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:20,680 –> 00:01:24,080
\nrighteous man to suffer?
\nAnd this is his problem that we <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:24,080 –> 00:01:27,000
\nhave to struggle with throughout
\nthe 42 chapters of the book of <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:27,000 –> 00:01:29,440
\nJob.
\nAnd so we start out by reading <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:29,440 –> 00:01:33,000
\nabout a man who is extremely
\nremarkable, one who is spoken of<\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:36,320
\nin very complimentary terms by
\nour Heavenly Father in saying <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:36,320 –> 00:01:39,280
\nthat he’s a man that feareth
\nGod, who’s perfect and upright <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:39,480 –> 00:01:41,080
\none that feareth God and his
\nchueth. <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:41,080 –> 00:01:43,160
\nEvil that there’s none.
\nLike him in all the earth. <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:47,120
\nWhat a commendation for a man.
\nWe also learned that he was <\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:47,120 –> 00:01:51,920
\nextremely rich, that he had a
\nvery fine family, a fine wife, <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:52,400 –> 00:01:55,600
\nten children, seven sons and
\nthree daughters, and that he was<\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:55,600 –> 00:01:57,400
\nvery highly esteemed in the
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:57,520 –> 00:02:02,000
\nHe was looked upon as a very
\nwise man, as a sage, and we find<\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:04,560
\nthat there’s an enemy in the
\ncommunity that looks upon Job <\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:04,560 –> 00:02:07,800
\nand doesn’t really think that
\nhe’s as righteous as has been <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:07,800 –> 00:02:11,000
\nmade out for him to be.
\nInstead, when there’s a weekly <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:11,039 –> 00:02:14,480
\necclesial meeting, we find that
\nthis enemy comes before the Lord<\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:14,480 –> 00:02:17,720
\nand having been asked by the
\nLord if he is considered his <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:17,720 –> 00:02:21,600
\nservant Job that there is none
\nlike him in all the earth, the <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:24,360
\nperfect and upright one that
\nfears God and his truth is evil.<\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:24,560 –> 00:02:27,240
\nHe suggests that the only reason
\nthat God is a righteous <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:27,240 –> 00:02:31,680
\nindividual is because God’s pain
\nto be righteous, that Job. <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:35,400
\nIf indeed he had all of his
\nwealth and his family removed <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:35,400 –> 00:02:38,520
\nfrom him, and perhaps even his
\nhealth, he would curse God to <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:38,520 –> 00:02:40,960
\nhis face.
\nAnd so in the first chapter, we <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:40,960 –> 00:02:45,520
\nfind that the Lord permits this
\nenemy to remove Job’s wealth and<\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:45,520 –> 00:02:48,520
\nhis children from him.
\nAnd even though this is done <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:48,520 –> 00:02:51,440
\nwith four sudden quick hammer
\nblows, we find that Job <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:51,440 –> 00:02:54,320
\nmaintains his integrity.
\nHe says the Lord giveth and the <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:54,320 –> 00:02:57,200
\nLord taketh away.
\nBlessed be the name of the Lord.<\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:58,280 –> 00:03:01,320
\nBut then at the next weekly
\nmeeting, we find that this enemy<\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:04,920
\nis also present, and once again
\nhe’s asked by the Lord if he has<\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:04,920 –> 00:03:08,160
\nconsidered his servant Job, that
\nthere’s nun like him in all the <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:08,200 –> 00:03:11,720
\nearth and he then accuses Job of
\neven being worse than he thought<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:11,720 –> 00:03:14,920
\nhe was.
\nIn the first chapter he feels <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:14,920 –> 00:03:17,240
\nthat Job wasn’t really
\ninterested in his wealth, <\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:17,520 –> 00:03:21,040
\nalthough I’m sure he liked it.
\nHe wasn’t really interested in <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:21,040 –> 00:03:23,840
\nthe well-being of his children,
\nbut his main interest lay in <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:23,840 –> 00:03:27,000
\nhimself and consequently he says
\nSkin for skin. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:27,880 –> 00:03:29,520
\nHow will a man give for his
\nlife? <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:30,480 –> 00:03:33,200
\nAnd therefore we find that he is
\naccusing Job of being more <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:36,960
\nwicked than ever, not interested
\nin anyone else except himself <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:37,120 –> 00:03:40,120
\nand his own physical well-being.
\nAnd therefore the enemy <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:40,120 –> 00:03:41,240
\nsuggests.
\nTo the Lord. <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:41,400 –> 00:03:45,840
\nThat if he was to remove his
\nhealth, that Job then would show<\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:49,560
\nhis true colors, that Job would
\ncurse God to his face. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:50,000 –> 00:03:53,920
\nAnd consequently we find that
\npermission is given that Job’s <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:53,920 –> 00:03:57,560
\nhealth may be removed with one
\nstipulation, and that is that <\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:57,560 –> 00:03:59,760
\nhis life is not taken in the
\nprocess. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:00,080 –> 00:04:03,440
\nAnd consequently we find that
\nthis enemy, given the power by <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:03,440 –> 00:04:07,480
\nthe Lord, smites Job from the
\ncrown of his head to the tipper <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:07,480 –> 00:04:11,080
\nto the sole of his foot.
\nWith boils we recognize as a <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:11,080 –> 00:04:14,480
\nvery miserable disease.
\nWe realized that Job was in <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:14,480 –> 00:04:19,680
\nagony for a long period of time,
\nnot just days, at least weeks, <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:19,880 –> 00:04:23,080
\nperhaps even months, during
\nwhich time his flesh was <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:23,080 –> 00:04:26,640
\nactually decaying before him.
\nHe felt that surely he was going<\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:26,640 –> 00:04:30,240
\nto die, and in the meantime he
\nwas in tremendous agony. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:30,560 –> 00:04:32,520
\nWe find that he sits without the
\ncity. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:32,760 –> 00:04:36,160
\nHe scrapes himself with the
\npotsherd and then along comes <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:36,160 –> 00:04:39,960
\nhis wife, and his wife makes a
\nsuggestion that’s a little bit <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:39,960 –> 00:04:43,280
\nstartling to us.
\nShe suggests that. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:43,280 –> 00:04:47,080
\nJob curse God and die.
\nFor they had a rather strange <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:47,080 –> 00:04:50,400
\nidea that if indeed they could
\nget God angry enough with them <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:51,120 –> 00:04:54,720
\nthat God would smite them dead.
\nAnd it wasn’t that she was a <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:54,720 –> 00:04:58,440
\nwicked woman, Job says.
\nBe not as the silly woman. <\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:01,720
\nShe wasn’t a silly woman as yet.
\nShe’d been a righteous woman up <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:01,720 –> 00:05:04,920
\nto that time.
\nBut we find that because she now<\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:04,920 –> 00:05:10,920
\nlooked upon Job, and would much
\nrather see Job dead and at rest,<\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:11,560 –> 00:05:15,560
\nthen alive and suffering as he
\nwas, that she was willing to <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:15,560 –> 00:05:18,840
\nmake this suggestion.
\nIt wasn’t really that she wanted<\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:18,840 –> 00:05:22,360
\nto be unrighteous, and therefore
\nhe very gently rebukes her and <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:22,360 –> 00:05:25,880
\nsuggests that she be not.
\nAs the silly women. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:05:26,760 –> 00:05:29,680
\nNot to talk like they talk.
\nNot to talk like women that are <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:29,680 –> 00:05:33,080
\nnot interested in God or his
\ngreat plan of salvation. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:33,480 –> 00:05:36,720
\nBut she ran maintain the high
\nstandard of spiritual integrity <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:36,960 –> 00:05:40,520
\nthat she had up to that time.
\nAnd then we find that Job’s <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:40,520 –> 00:05:44,200
\nthree friends come on the scene,
\nEliphaz, Bildad and Zopharq. <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:44,440 –> 00:05:46,280
\nAnd how did they come from a far
\ncountry? <\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:46,280 –> 00:05:48,800
\nAnd how did they?
\nAs they come close to Job, they <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:52,400
\ntake sand and they throw it up
\nover their head to signify that <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:52,400 –> 00:05:55,680
\nwhatever had befallen Job befell
\nthem, and even though they <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:55,680 –> 00:05:57,880
\nthemselves would not be
\nsuffering as Job was <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:58,000 –> 00:06:01,200
\nnevertheless.
\nThey could share in the problem <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:01,200 –> 00:06:04,560
\nthat he had to the greatest
\ndegree possible, and they did. <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:04,560 –> 00:06:07,640
\nThey sat down beside him and we
\nfind that they sat there for a <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:07,640 –> 00:06:09,040
\nwhole week and they didn’t say
\nanything. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:09,240 –> 00:06:11,320
\nAnd yet they’re considered Job’s
\ncomforters. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:12,120 –> 00:06:15,080
\nAnd we recognized how sometimes
\nthere isn’t anything we really <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:15,080 –> 00:06:20,000
\ncan say when a loved one is sick
\nand dying, but at least we can <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:20,000 –> 00:06:22,560
\nbe with them.
\nAnd they were there for a week, <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:23,000 –> 00:06:25,800
\neven though it was under very
\nobnoxious circumstances. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:26,160 –> 00:06:29,600
\nJob not only was very, very
\ndifficult to look upon under <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:32,760
\nthose circumstances, but there
\nwas also a very repulsive <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:32,760 –> 00:06:35,480
\nstench.
\nAnd there they sat with Job, <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:35,760 –> 00:06:38,400
\nwilling to share with him as
\nmuch as they possibly could <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:38,560 –> 00:06:41,120
\nuntil finally, after a week
\npasses, Job. <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:41,120 –> 00:06:43,680
\nCurses.
\nHis day job is the one that <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:43,680 –> 00:06:46,440
\nspeaks up, giving them the
\nopportunity to speak up <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:46,440 –> 00:06:49,360
\nafterwards as well.
\nHe curses the night in which he <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:49,360 –> 00:06:52,240
\nwas conceived, feeling that if
\nhe hadn’t been conceived, he <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:52,240 –> 00:06:54,040
\nnever would.
\nHave lived and never would. <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:54,040 –> 00:06:56,000
\nHave come to the position of
\nsuffering that he’s in. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:56,640 –> 00:07:00,280
\nHe then curses the the day in
\nwhich he was born, figuring it <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:00,280 –> 00:07:03,400
\nwould be better if he was still
\nborn, because then he would not <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:03,400 –> 00:07:06,120
\nhave lived and would not have
\ncome to the position where he’s <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:06,120 –> 00:07:08,240
\nsuffering as he is.
\nAnd if that couldn’t be the <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:08,240 –> 00:07:11,000
\ncase, if only he could have died
\nin infancy, he wouldn’t have <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:11,000 –> 00:07:12,920
\ngrown to maturity to come to
\nthis condition. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:13,720 –> 00:07:16,760
\nAnd if that couldn’t be the
\ncase, why couldn’t he die now? <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:17,120 –> 00:07:20,160
\nWhy couldn’t he die while he’s
\nsuffering instead of prolonging <\/p>\n
133
\n00:07:20,160 –> 00:07:23,400
\nthe agony feeling that death was
\ninevitable anyway? <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:24,000 –> 00:07:26,920
\nWhy couldn’t he die immediately
\nand not have to go on suffering <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:27,160 –> 00:07:29,720
\nfor another period of time until
\ndeath finally came? <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:30,120 –> 00:07:33,400
\nAnd this opened the door for
\nJob’s three friends to be able <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:33,400 –> 00:07:36,520
\nto speak up.
\nSo Alifast Build that and Zofar.<\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:36,760 –> 00:07:38,640
\nEach.
\nSpeak in their turn, with Job <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:38,640 –> 00:07:41,840
\nanswering them for three cycles
\nof talk, barring the very. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:41,840 –> 00:07:45,440
\nLast speech and we find that
\nthey bring up a very interesting<\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:45,440 –> 00:07:47,600
\nargument.
\nThey believe in what’s referred <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:47,600 –> 00:07:50,920
\nto as the doctrine of exact
\nretribution, which is based on <\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:50,920 –> 00:07:53,280
\nsyllogism, which we have
\noutlined. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:54,280 –> 00:07:57,560
\nWhile you’re here on the poster,
\nbefore you, they believe that <\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:57,560 –> 00:08:01,880
\nall suffering was the result of
\nsin, and indirectly this is the <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:01,880 –> 00:08:04,960
\ncase.
\nWe find that because of sin, we <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:04,960 –> 00:08:06,960
\nare mortal.
\nWe do suffer. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:07,760 –> 00:08:10,280
\nBut they felt that there was
\nsuch a thing as an exact <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:10,280 –> 00:08:14,400
\nretribution, that if indeed a
\nperson committed a small sin <\/p>\n
150
\n00:08:14,400 –> 00:08:16,720
\nnow, they’d be punished a little
\nbit right now. <\/p>\n
151
\n00:08:17,080 –> 00:08:20,520
\nIf they committed a big sin,
\nthey’d be punished a lot right <\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:20,520 –> 00:08:23,960
\nnow.
\nAnd then they looked upon Job <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:24,480 –> 00:08:27,040
\nand they said Job is a great
\nsufferer. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:28,240 –> 00:08:30,600
\nAnd they could only come to 1
\nconclusion in their way of <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:35,000
\nreasoning, they said.
\nTherefore Job must indeed be a <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:35,000 –> 00:08:40,559
\ngreat Sinner.
\nWe find a syllogism is 3 <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:41,120 –> 00:08:44,400
\npropositions, 2 premises
\nfollowed by a conclusion, and <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:44,400 –> 00:08:48,040
\nthey had come to a conclusion
\nthat is not quite correct, but <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:48,040 –> 00:08:50,760
\nthey believe that it was.
\nSo looking upon Job, they said, <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:50,760 –> 00:08:53,600
\nboy, he must have done something
\npretty bad and ought to be <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:53,600 –> 00:08:56,320
\nsuffering like that.
\nIt’s a very unfortunate thing. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:56,320 –> 00:08:59,000
\nWe’ll come back to this in just
\na few moments, but they make <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:02,680
\nspeeches, each trying to
\nencourage Job to confess. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:02,680 –> 00:09:06,720
\nHis sin to repent of his sin to
\nseek God’s forgiveness of his <\/p>\n
165
\n00:09:06,720 –> 00:09:08,600
\nsin.
\nAnd they say God will heal you. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:09:09,440 –> 00:09:14,160
\nAnd consequently we listen to 28
\nchapters of debate where Job <\/p>\n
167
\n00:09:14,360 –> 00:09:18,280
\nfinally puts them to silence.
\nFirst of all, he points out that<\/p>\n
168
\n00:09:18,280 –> 00:09:21,440
\nhe hasn’t committed any sin, and
\nif indeed they feel He has, it’s<\/p>\n
169
\n00:09:21,440 –> 00:09:23,680
\nup to them to.
\nName that sin. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:09:24,440 –> 00:09:28,760
\nSo first they accuse him of sin,
\nFinally they accuse him of maybe<\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:28,760 –> 00:09:31,920
\ncommitting sins that he didn’t
\nknow about, and eventually they.<\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:35,840
\nAccuse him of committing sins of
\nomission, saying that well, <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:35,880 –> 00:09:38,400
\nmaybe it wasn’t anything he did
\nthat was wrong, but something. <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:40,880
\nThat he could have done that was
\nright that he omitted. <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:41,640 –> 00:09:45,000
\nIn all of these things we find
\nthat Job categorically refuses. <\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:45,320 –> 00:09:48,880
\nHe says his isn’t so.
\nAnd then we find we come to the <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:48,880 –> 00:09:51,840
\nplace where Job begins to
\nobserve that there are many <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:51,840 –> 00:09:55,120
\npeople in the world who are
\nobviously more wicked than <\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:55,120 –> 00:09:56,880
\nothers.
\nThat seem to get along far <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:56,880 –> 00:09:58,840
\nbetter.
\nWhile there are many that are <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:58,840 –> 00:10:01,640
\nobviously more righteous than
\nthey that seemed to have, <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:01,640 –> 00:10:05,800
\nproblem after problem after
\nproblem in this life, Job had to<\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:05,800 –> 00:10:09,680
\nabandon the idea of exact
\nretribution, at least exact <\/p>\n
184
\n00:10:09,680 –> 00:10:12,720
\nretribution, for that immediate
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:10:13,760 –> 00:10:16,080
\nAnd then he goes into two long
\nmonologues at the end of his <\/p>\n
186
\n00:10:16,080 –> 00:10:18,160
\nspeeches, trying to develop his
\ntheme. <\/p>\n
187
\n00:10:18,360 –> 00:10:22,520
\nBut still, Job has a problem.
\nDuring his period of suffering, <\/p>\n
188
\n00:10:22,720 –> 00:10:25,600
\nhe feels that God hasn’t quite
\ndealt with him the way that he <\/p>\n
189
\n00:10:25,600 –> 00:10:27,720
\nought to.
\nHe feels that God has been <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:27,720 –> 00:10:32,280
\nunjust to him, and consequently
\nhe accuses God of taking away <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:32,360 –> 00:10:34,520
\nhis judgment.
\nIn other words, God hasn’t <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:34,520 –> 00:10:36,920
\ntreated him quite right that
\nbecause he’s been such a <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:36,920 –> 00:10:40,240
\nrighteous man, because he’s done
\nso many good things in his life.<\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:40,760 –> 00:10:43,240
\nThat God really should reward
\nhim a little bit more than he’s <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:43,240 –> 00:10:46,640
\ndoing at this particular time.
\nThat God shouldn’t permit him to<\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:46,640 –> 00:10:50,160
\ncome to this position of agony,
\nand therefore he makes a <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:50,160 –> 00:10:52,560
\nrequest.
\nHis first request is that he <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:52,560 –> 00:10:56,120
\nmight have it out with God that
\nhe might be able to talk face to<\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:56,120 –> 00:10:59,320
\nface with God because he feels
\nthat if he does, he’s going to <\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:59,320 –> 00:11:03,440
\nbe able to prove to the Almighty
\nthat he’s right and God is <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:03,440 –> 00:11:06,520
\nwrong.
\nBut God doesn’t speak to him, <\/p>\n
202
\n00:11:07,160 –> 00:11:09,840
\nand therefore he begins to wish
\nthat he could have a dazement. <\/p>\n
203
\n00:11:10,280 –> 00:11:14,400
\nA go between someone who would
\nbe an arbitrator or a mediator <\/p>\n
204
\n00:11:14,400 –> 00:11:18,080
\nbetween him and God, feeling
\nthat surely if there was such an<\/p>\n
205
\n00:11:18,080 –> 00:11:21,640
\narbitrator immediately that
\nDesmond would recognize that Job<\/p>\n
206
\n00:11:21,640 –> 00:11:24,640
\nwas right and God was wrong, and
\nimmediately would take Job’s <\/p>\n
207
\n00:11:24,640 –> 00:11:27,400
\nside against God.
\nAnd therefore Job would be <\/p>\n
208
\n00:11:27,400 –> 00:11:30,680
\nvindicated of any apparent sin
\nthat he, some may think he <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:30,680 –> 00:11:35,600
\ncould, would have committed.
\nWe find that after Job becomes <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:35,600 –> 00:11:38,680
\nsilent, an interesting
\nindividual by the name of Eli <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:38,680 –> 00:11:42,760
\nwho comes on the scene and this
\nyoung man is that very Daisman <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:42,760 –> 00:11:46,160
\nthat he’s been asking for.
\nHowever, Job receives a bit of a<\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:46,160 –> 00:11:50,360
\nsurprise.
\nThis Daisman is displeased with <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:50,360 –> 00:11:52,920
\nboth Job.
\nAnd his three friends. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:53,360 –> 00:11:56,920
\nIt says that he his anger was
\nkindled against Job because he <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:56,920 –> 00:12:00,560
\njustified himself and not God.
\nHis anger was kindled against <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:00,560 –> 00:12:03,280
\nJob’s three friends because they
\nfound no answer. <\/p>\n
218
\n00:12:03,400 –> 00:12:06,200
\nJob had put them to silence.
\nThey found no answer, and yet <\/p>\n
219
\n00:12:06,200 –> 00:12:09,600
\nthey still condemned Job.
\nWe find ourselves in that <\/p>\n
220
\n00:12:09,600 –> 00:12:13,000
\ncondition many times, but we may
\nnot be able to answer someone in<\/p>\n
221
\n00:12:13,000 –> 00:12:16,240
\na discussion or debate, and yet
\nwe think, well, we couldn’t <\/p>\n
222
\n00:12:16,240 –> 00:12:19,440
\npossibly be wrong, and therefore
\nit must be the other guy. <\/p>\n
223
\n00:12:20,080 –> 00:12:22,920
\nAnd so they found no answer, and
\nyet they still condemn Joe. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:12:23,960 –> 00:12:26,880
\nAnd then we find that he goes
\ninto a series of speeches <\/p>\n
225
\n00:12:27,240 –> 00:12:28,840
\npointing out.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
226
\n00:12:28,840 –> 00:12:33,080
\nJob is the one that’s mistaken
\nand not the Almighty that God <\/p>\n
227
\n00:12:33,080 –> 00:12:36,680
\nhas really treated him properly.
\nInstead of taking Job’s side <\/p>\n
228
\n00:12:36,840 –> 00:12:40,440
\nagainst God, instead of
\nrepresenting Job to God, he <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:40,440 –> 00:12:43,760
\nrepresents God to Job and says I
\nwill describe righteousness. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:43,760 –> 00:12:47,440
\nUnto my maker I will yet speak
\nfor God, and he bring gives us <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:47,440 –> 00:12:50,880
\nfour very interesting speeches,
\nin which he brings up a variety <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:50,880 –> 00:12:53,560
\nof points which we’ve found in
\nthe last few days to be <\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:53,560 –> 00:12:56,720
\nextremely interesting, and I
\nhope, instructive for us all in <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:56,720 –> 00:12:58,880
\nour own life.
\nAnd here he brings things are <\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:58,880 –> 00:13:01,880
\nbasically another reason for
\nsuffering. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:13:02,320 –> 00:13:06,360
\nAlready we have the fact that we
\nare human, subject to good and <\/p>\n
237
\n00:13:06,360 –> 00:13:08,640
\nevil, one of the reasons we
\nsuffer. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:13:08,640 –> 00:13:12,360
\nWe find that it could possibly
\nbe, on some occasions, A <\/p>\n
239
\n00:13:12,400 –> 00:13:15,680
\npunishment, but not exact
\nretribution in the way that <\/p>\n
240
\n00:13:15,680 –> 00:13:19,040
\nJob’s three friends got.
\nBut we also find that with the <\/p>\n
241
\n00:13:19,040 –> 00:13:22,600
\nspeeches of Eliah, it’s pointed
\nout that God can make use of <\/p>\n
242
\n00:13:22,600 –> 00:13:26,560
\nsuffering for a purpose.
\nHe can make use of it for the <\/p>\n
243
\n00:13:26,560 –> 00:13:31,040
\npurpose of chastisement, to
\nbring people to God, to improve <\/p>\n
244
\n00:13:31,040 –> 00:13:34,200
\npeople more than to prove them
\nso that they will indeed be <\/p>\n
245
\n00:13:34,200 –> 00:13:36,920
\ndrawn closer to God.
\nAnd we find that this may very <\/p>\n
246
\n00:13:36,920 –> 00:13:40,120
\nwell be the case with us how
\noften it is when everything is <\/p>\n
247
\n00:13:40,120 –> 00:13:42,760
\ngoing just fine in our lives.
\nEven though we may be <\/p>\n
248
\n00:13:42,760 –> 00:13:46,040
\nreligiously inclined, we may
\nattend the memorial service in a<\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:46,040 –> 00:13:48,640
\nvery regular manner.
\nWe may attend other meetings <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:48,640 –> 00:13:51,440
\nthroughout the week, such as
\nSunday School, Bible class and a<\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:51,440 –> 00:13:53,960
\nvariety of other meetings.
\nMeetings but. <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:54,640 –> 00:13:57,360
\nWhen we find we have problems
\nthat we can’t cope with, <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:57,680 –> 00:14:01,320
\nparticularly when it may be
\npersonal, physical suffering, <\/p>\n
254
\n00:14:02,120 –> 00:14:05,960
\nBoy do we sit up and take notice
\nthat we turn to God far more <\/p>\n
255
\n00:14:05,960 –> 00:14:09,200
\nfervently than we ever have in
\nthe past and seek His help and <\/p>\n
256
\n00:14:09,200 –> 00:14:12,160
\nguidance and blessing.
\nHere we find this young man, <\/p>\n
257
\n00:14:12,160 –> 00:14:16,280
\nEli, who points out to Job that
\nsuffering can be for the purpose<\/p>\n
258
\n00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:19,360
\nof improving a person.
\nFor a very important reason. <\/p>\n
259
\n00:14:19,680 –> 00:14:23,320
\nThat it’s far better that God
\nshould chastise an individual <\/p>\n
260
\n00:14:23,320 –> 00:14:27,400
\nnow in this life instead of just
\nlet them go their merry way and <\/p>\n
261
\n00:14:27,400 –> 00:14:29,360
\nnot have an opportunity to be in
\nthe Kingdom. <\/p>\n
262
\n00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:34,560
\nThe purpose for suffering can be
\nto save a man from the pit, as <\/p>\n
263
\n00:14:34,560 –> 00:14:37,200
\nit’s described many times in the
\nbeginning of that first speech <\/p>\n
264
\n00:14:37,480 –> 00:14:40,480
\nof Elihu.
\nIn other words, save them from <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:40,480 –> 00:14:42,960
\neternal death, from going into
\nthe grave forever. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:14:43,120 –> 00:14:46,720
\nThat’s the reason, and what a
\nwise thing this is. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:14:47,240 –> 00:14:51,720
\nAnd then we find that the end of
\nElihu’s speeches, he introduces <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:51,720 –> 00:14:55,240
\nthe Almighty by liking the
\nAlmighty to a tremendous <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:55,240 –> 00:14:59,920
\nthunderstorm which depicts many
\nof the attributes of God that we<\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:59,920 –> 00:15:02,400
\ndrew our attention to two days
\nago. <\/p>\n
271
\n00:15:03,040 –> 00:15:07,120
\nAnd then we find that out of
\nthis whirlwind, which was not <\/p>\n
272
\n00:15:07,120 –> 00:15:12,240
\nreally a thunderstorm after all,
\nwe find that the Almighty speaks<\/p>\n
273
\n00:15:12,240 –> 00:15:15,160
\nto Job.
\nHe calls forth to Job. <\/p>\n
274
\n00:15:15,680 –> 00:15:20,120
\nAnd then, after he has made
\ncertain speeches, he gives Job <\/p>\n
275
\n00:15:20,120 –> 00:15:23,560
\nthe opportunity to answer.
\nWhat he actually does is make <\/p>\n
276
\n00:15:23,560 –> 00:15:27,800
\ntwo very remarkable speeches,
\nthe first divided into two. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:15:27,800 –> 00:15:31,440
\nParts and the 2nd.
\nLikewise divided into two parts <\/p>\n
278
\n00:15:31,760 –> 00:15:52,040
\nto help me turn it
\nin the first speech of the <\/p>\n
279
\n00:15:52,040 –> 00:15:54,400
\nAlmighty.
\nThe first part of the speech <\/p>\n
280
\n00:15:54,400 –> 00:15:59,280
\njust takes up inanimate nature,
\nwhere the Almighty puts Job in <\/p>\n
281
\n00:15:59,280 –> 00:16:02,400
\nthe position of realizing that
\nhe’s not quite as important as <\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:02,400 –> 00:16:04,520
\nhe thought he was.
\nHe’s not quite as powerful. <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:04,520 –> 00:16:08,880
\nA wise the Almighty asked him,
\nHe says, Where were you when I <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:08,880 –> 00:16:10,520
\nlaid the foundations of the
\nearth? <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:11,040 –> 00:16:12,720
\nWere you around at that time,
\nJob? <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:12,720 –> 00:16:15,440
\nAnd the second thing he brings
\nup, he says, what about the <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:15,440 –> 00:16:17,920
\nlight and the darkness?
\nDo you have any idea where the <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:17,920 –> 00:16:20,280
\nlight goes when the darkness
\ncomes, or where the darkness <\/p>\n
289
\n00:16:20,280 –> 00:16:22,680
\ngoes when the light comes?
\nDo you have any idea of its <\/p>\n
290
\n00:16:22,680 –> 00:16:25,400
\nextent?
\nDo you realize how vast this <\/p>\n
291
\n00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:28,440
\nworld is that I have created?
\nCould you have done that? <\/p>\n
292
\n00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:30,880
\nCould you arrange things any
\nbetter than they are? <\/p>\n
293
\n00:16:31,080 –> 00:16:33,040
\nAnd then he goes on with that
\nand says take a. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:16:33,040 –> 00:16:36,880
\nLook at the ocean job.
\nRealize how great I am, Why I <\/p>\n
295
\n00:16:36,880 –> 00:16:39,280
\ncan measure the ocean in the
\nhollow of my hand. <\/p>\n
296
\n00:16:39,760 –> 00:16:43,600
\nI have decreed just what the
\nbounds of the ocean should be <\/p>\n
297
\n00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:46,840
\nand where it’s proud way should
\nbe stayed while I treat the <\/p>\n
298
\n00:16:46,840 –> 00:16:50,280
\nocean just like you would treat
\na little baby and put another <\/p>\n
299
\n00:16:50,280 –> 00:16:53,480
\ncrib or a.
\nPlaypen and say that’s as far as<\/p>\n
300
\n00:16:53,480 –> 00:16:56,320
\nyou’re going to be able to go.
\nThat’s the way I can treat the <\/p>\n
301
\n00:16:56,320 –> 00:16:58,560
\nocean and my majesty and glory
\nand might. <\/p>\n
302
\n00:16:58,880 –> 00:17:00,720
\nCan you do that job?
\nWhy do? <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:00,720 –> 00:17:03,680
\nYou even have any.
\nIdea how deep the ocean is, let <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:03,680 –> 00:17:06,960
\nalone its extent.
\nAnd then Job, What about the <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:06,960 –> 00:17:09,720
\nweather?
\nDo you have any idea of where I <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:09,720 –> 00:17:13,240
\nkeep the storehouses of snow?
\nDo you know where the hail comes<\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:13,240 –> 00:17:16,319
\nfrom?
\nDo you have any idea how to make<\/p>\n
308
\n00:17:16,319 –> 00:17:20,440
\nthe clouds over your own head,
\nLet waterfall upon you in rain? <\/p>\n
309
\n00:17:21,359 –> 00:17:24,079
\nAnd then he draws Job’s
\nattention to something even far <\/p>\n
310
\n00:17:24,079 –> 00:17:26,680
\nmore vast.
\nHe draws his attention to the <\/p>\n
311
\n00:17:26,680 –> 00:17:28,680
\nuniverse.
\nAnd he said, look, Job, I <\/p>\n
312
\n00:17:28,680 –> 00:17:30,000
\nhaven’t only.
\nCreated the Earth. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:17:30,600 –> 00:17:34,880
\nI created the universe as well.
\nWould you be able to order and? <\/p>\n
314
\n00:17:34,880 –> 00:17:37,920
\nEstablish the constellations as
\nI have. <\/p>\n
315
\n00:17:38,240 –> 00:17:41,440
\nSuch as Orion and the Pleiades.
\nWould you be able to create <\/p>\n
316
\n00:17:41,440 –> 00:17:44,120
\nthose tremendous stars such as
\nMazaroth and Arcturus? <\/p>\n
317
\n00:17:44,320 –> 00:17:47,000
\nWould you be able to do that?
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
318
\n00:17:47,000 –> 00:17:49,720
\nJob?
\nYou are so small and <\/p>\n
319
\n00:17:49,720 –> 00:17:52,600
\ninsignificant, you can’t even
\nmake the rainfall out of the <\/p>\n
320
\n00:17:52,600 –> 00:17:55,360
\nclouds over your head.
\nHow could you possibly take care<\/p>\n
321
\n00:17:55,360 –> 00:17:57,320
\nof the whole Earth or the whole?
\nUniverse. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:17:57,320 –> 00:18:00,800
\nAnd when the Lord had finished
\nsaying that, I have no doubt but<\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:00,800 –> 00:18:04,720
\nwhat Job began to realize how
\nsmall and insignificant He was. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:18:05,520 –> 00:18:07,840
\nAnd then we find that the
\nAlmighty’s not done with him. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:18:08,400 –> 00:18:12,480
\nHe moves on to animate nature,
\nbringing up a number of lessons <\/p>\n
326
\n00:18:12,480 –> 00:18:28,000
\nto Job.
\nHe draws Job’s attention to a <\/p>\n
327
\n00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:31,160
\nnumber of living creatures,
\nstarting out with a lioness <\/p>\n
328
\n00:18:31,440 –> 00:18:34,760
\nseeking her prey, which
\nimmediately brings us to the <\/p>\n
329
\n00:18:34,760 –> 00:18:38,560
\nposition.
\nOf how would Job handle the <\/p>\n
330
\n00:18:38,560 –> 00:18:42,920
\nproblem of suffering?
\nWould he be more just and see <\/p>\n
331
\n00:18:42,920 –> 00:18:46,800
\nthat this cruel lion didn’t fall
\nupon this delicate, gentle, shy,<\/p>\n
332
\n00:18:46,800 –> 00:18:49,000
\ninnocent fawn?
\nWhat would he do? <\/p>\n
333
\n00:18:49,240 –> 00:18:53,320
\nAnd then he parades a variety of
\ncreatures past Job, many of <\/p>\n
334
\n00:18:53,320 –> 00:18:57,640
\nwhich have similarities, and yet
\nthey react so differently, one <\/p>\n
335
\n00:18:57,640 –> 00:18:59,920
\nfrom another.
\nAnd yet God made them all. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:00,080 –> 00:19:02,280
\nHow come?
\nWhat would Job do? <\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:03,080 –> 00:19:05,400
\nTo handle such a beautiful
\nbalance in nature, would he <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:05,400 –> 00:19:08,400
\nalter it in any way?
\nAnd the Almighty ends up <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:10,640
\nvirtually with the same thought
\nthat he had To begin with <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:11,560 –> 00:19:14,960
\nconsidering the eagle and how
\nthat God had given her eyes to <\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:14,960 –> 00:19:18,200
\nbe able to see prey miles away,
\nand how that she would swoop <\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:18,200 –> 00:19:21,520
\ndown upon it and scoop it up and
\nbring it back to her young. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:22,400 –> 00:19:26,840
\nThat would then suck up blood.
\nAnd once again we’re confronted <\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:27,240 –> 00:19:31,440
\nwith the problem of suffering.
\nWhat would Job do about a <\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:31,440 –> 00:19:34,080
\ncondition such as this?
\nWould he be able to change <\/p>\n
346
\n00:19:34,080 –> 00:19:35,080
\nthings?
\nCould he? <\/p>\n
347
\n00:19:35,080 –> 00:19:38,400
\nPossibly make things better.
\nCould he do better than? <\/p>\n
348
\n00:19:38,400 –> 00:19:41,480
\nGod has done.
\nAnd then it seems as though the <\/p>\n
349
\n00:19:41,480 –> 00:19:44,320
\nAlmighty sits back and let’s Job
\nthink about it a little while. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:19:44,760 –> 00:19:47,560
\nAnd then he says, now, Job, you
\nwanted me to call and you wanted<\/p>\n
351
\n00:19:47,560 –> 00:19:49,760
\nto answer.
\nAll right, what’s your answer? <\/p>\n
352
\n00:19:49,880 –> 00:19:51,880
\nWhat have you learned from what
\nI’ve had to say? <\/p>\n
353
\n00:19:52,520 –> 00:19:55,160
\nAnd Job doesn’t really tell us
\nwhat he’s learned, but instead <\/p>\n
354
\n00:19:55,160 –> 00:19:57,480
\nhe tells us that he’s sorry he
\neven spoke up in the first <\/p>\n
355
\n00:19:57,480 –> 00:19:59,720
\nplace.
\nWe learned that he loathes <\/p>\n
356
\n00:19:59,720 –> 00:20:02,200
\nhimself when he repents, that he
\neven challenges God. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:03,040 –> 00:20:05,480
\nAnd we were confronted with the
\nquestion of what did he learn <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:05,480 –> 00:20:08,560
\nfrom this?
\nAnd we suggested that perhaps he<\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:08,560 –> 00:20:11,800
\nshould see in this variety of
\ncreatures, all mankind. <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:11,960 –> 00:20:15,280
\nAnd even though men may look
\nvery much like other men, they <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:15,280 –> 00:20:18,360
\nreact very differently.
\nWithin the human race, we’ve got<\/p>\n
362
\n00:20:18,360 –> 00:20:20,960
\nindividuals.
\nThat react in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n
363
\n00:20:21,880 –> 00:20:24,520
\nAnd he should also have seen
\namongst these creatures a <\/p>\n
364
\n00:20:24,520 –> 00:20:28,120
\nreflection of all mankind, where
\nthere are indeed some clean and <\/p>\n
365
\n00:20:28,120 –> 00:20:30,440
\nsome unclean.
\nAnd we recognize that even <\/p>\n
366
\n00:20:30,440 –> 00:20:32,160
\nbefore the time of the Flood,
\nthe. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:20:32,160 –> 00:20:37,160
\nAnimal Kingdom was divided into
\nclean and unclean creatures and <\/p>\n
368
\n00:20:37,160 –> 00:20:41,920
\nJob should have seen here in
\nthis problem of suffering how <\/p>\n
369
\n00:20:41,920 –> 00:20:45,440
\nthat there is a principle built
\ninto the into nature where that <\/p>\n
370
\n00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:48,160
\nthe.
\nInnocent often will suffer for <\/p>\n
371
\n00:20:48,160 –> 00:20:52,000
\nthe benefit of the guilty, such
\nas this gentle, innocent kind <\/p>\n
372
\n00:20:52,000 –> 00:20:56,760
\nfawn would suffer and die for
\nthis cruel vicious lioness that <\/p>\n
373
\n00:20:56,760 –> 00:20:59,640
\nshe might be able to take food
\nback to her Cubs and they would <\/p>\n
374
\n00:20:59,640 –> 00:21:01,440
\nbe able to eat and to live by
\nit. <\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:02,160 –> 00:21:06,000
\nAnd the same way with the Eagle,
\nbringing back food for her <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:06,000 –> 00:21:08,400
\nEaglets that they might be able
\nto suck up blood. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:08,960 –> 00:21:13,640
\nAnd Job would be able to look
\nupon himself as a gentle, kind <\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:13,640 –> 00:21:18,000
\nindividual, a righteous
\nindividual who was suffering for<\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:18,000 –> 00:21:21,280
\nthe benefit of someone else
\nwithout actually being bluntly <\/p>\n
380
\n00:21:21,280 –> 00:21:23,800
\ntold that he was suffering that.
\nThis. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:21:23,880 –> 00:21:28,960
\nEnemy might eventually be
\nbrought to God, and then we find<\/p>\n
382
\n00:21:28,960 –> 00:21:31,120
\nthe Almighty moves on to his
\nnext speech. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:21:31,640 –> 00:21:34,520
\nHe isn’t through with Job.
\nHe’s got a lot more to teach <\/p>\n
384
\n00:21:34,520 –> 00:21:53,760
\nhim,
\nand so he suggests to Job first <\/p>\n
385
\n00:21:53,760 –> 00:21:57,280
\nof all that if he’d really like
\nto play God, he had to abandon <\/p>\n
386
\n00:21:57,280 –> 00:22:00,080
\nhis own righteousness and adopt
\nthe righteousness of God. <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:00,480 –> 00:22:03,760
\nThat He would have to come up
\ninto heaven, taking upon himself<\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:03,800 –> 00:22:07,840
\nthe characteristics of God, and
\nlook down upon earth, look upon <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:07,840 –> 00:22:11,920
\nmankind through the eyes of God,
\nthat he might really see mankind<\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:11,920 –> 00:22:14,680
\nfor what it is.
\nAnd when He did, He would <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:14,680 –> 00:22:16,680
\nrecognize that he had two
\nproblems. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:16,680 –> 00:22:20,920
\nThat he had to cope with.
\nHe would have to abase the proud<\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:21,680 –> 00:22:26,160
\nand destroy the sinners.
\nAnd he likens pride and sin. <\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:26,360 –> 00:22:30,160
\nThen unto 2 huge terrible
\naquatic monsters which we have <\/p>\n
395
\n00:22:30,160 –> 00:22:33,160
\ndepicted for you here and that
\nare spoken of in the scriptures <\/p>\n
396
\n00:22:33,320 –> 00:22:37,480
\nas Behemoth, which we’ve
\ndepicted as a hippopotamus and <\/p>\n
397
\n00:22:37,480 –> 00:22:39,920
\nleviathan that we’ve depicted as
\na crocodile. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:22:40,120 –> 00:22:43,320
\nAnd he pointed out Job’s
\nimpossible position of being <\/p>\n
399
\n00:22:43,320 –> 00:22:47,040
\nable to deal with them, pointing
\nout that all Job has is a little<\/p>\n
400
\n00:22:47,120 –> 00:22:50,320
\nhook and a line.
\nAnd here he stands on the side <\/p>\n
401
\n00:22:50,320 –> 00:22:55,440
\nof the shore of the water,
\ntrying to control this huge <\/p>\n
402
\n00:22:55,480 –> 00:22:59,000
\nhippopotamus with just a little
\nline, and at the same time <\/p>\n
403
\n00:22:59,000 –> 00:23:03,200
\ntrying to put to death this
\ncrocodile representing sin. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:23:03,440 –> 00:23:06,360
\nA very awkward arrangement for
\nanybody, indeed. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:23:06,800 –> 00:23:09,760
\nIn fact, Job would very quickly
\nhave to recognize that he <\/p>\n
406
\n00:23:09,760 –> 00:23:13,080
\ncouldn’t do it of himself.
\nIt could only be done by the <\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:13,080 –> 00:23:16,000
\nhelp of Almighty God.
\nAnd in the process of doing it, <\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:16,200 –> 00:23:19,920
\nthere will probably be some
\nwounding that would take place. <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:20,280 –> 00:23:22,120
\nAnd of course we have this
\nindividual. <\/p>\n
410
\n00:23:22,600 –> 00:23:25,640
\nClad with the armor that’s
\nrevealed to us in the 6th <\/p>\n
411
\n00:23:25,640 –> 00:23:28,360
\nchapter of Ephesians, and we
\nhave the significant. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:23:28,360 –> 00:23:31,320
\nWound in the heel.
\nJob was suffering, of course, <\/p>\n
413
\n00:23:31,320 –> 00:23:34,040
\nfor a wound.
\nThat was to help someone else <\/p>\n
414
\n00:23:34,360 –> 00:23:38,280
\novercome that problem of sin,
\nthat problem of lack of <\/p>\n
415
\n00:23:38,280 –> 00:23:41,040
\nrighteousness.
\nAnd here we find with these <\/p>\n
416
\n00:23:41,040 –> 00:23:44,480
\ncreatures a very beautiful
\npicture of how difficult it is, <\/p>\n
417
\n00:23:44,480 –> 00:23:49,040
\nFirst of all, to reach the heart
\nof a proud man through this <\/p>\n
418
\n00:23:49,040 –> 00:23:52,480
\ntremendously thick skin and
\nstrong bones and sinews. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:23:52,640 –> 00:23:55,640
\nTo finally get to his heart.
\nVery difficult to get to a heart<\/p>\n
420
\n00:23:55,640 –> 00:23:58,240
\nto a proud man.
\nThe only way it can be reached <\/p>\n
421
\n00:23:58,240 –> 00:24:01,040
\nis by subtlety.
\nIt’s pretty hard to reach the <\/p>\n
422
\n00:24:01,040 –> 00:24:03,680
\nheart of a proud man by a head
\non attack. <\/p>\n
423
\n00:24:03,880 –> 00:24:07,960
\nIt just doesn’t seem to work.
\nAnd then this other creature, he<\/p>\n
424
\n00:24:07,960 –> 00:24:11,160
\npoints out in in a variety of
\nstatements about it how that <\/p>\n
425
\n00:24:11,160 –> 00:24:15,360
\nthere is no way that we could
\nbring sin into servitude to <\/p>\n
426
\n00:24:15,360 –> 00:24:17,080
\nourselves.
\nIn fact, it’s going to work the <\/p>\n
427
\n00:24:17,080 –> 00:24:20,400
\nother way around.
\nWe couldn’t take sin and make it<\/p>\n
428
\n00:24:20,400 –> 00:24:23,600
\nour pet any more than we would
\nbring a crocodile home and give <\/p>\n
429
\n00:24:23,600 –> 00:24:25,440
\nit to our little babies to play
\nwith us. <\/p>\n
430
\n00:24:25,440 –> 00:24:26,720
\nA pet.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
431
\n00:24:26,720 –> 00:24:29,680
\nThe only thing that sin is going
\nto do to us is kill us. <\/p>\n
432
\n00:24:30,000 –> 00:24:32,840
\nSin has got to be destroyed.
\nYou can never bring it into <\/p>\n
433
\n00:24:32,840 –> 00:24:35,240
\nsubjection.
\nAnd it pointed out how that’s <\/p>\n
434
\n00:24:35,240 –> 00:24:40,040
\nsin is the king of all of those
\nof pride, all the children of <\/p>\n
435
\n00:24:40,040 –> 00:24:43,080
\npride.
\nAnd then the Almighty sits back,<\/p>\n
436
\n00:24:43,080 –> 00:24:46,160
\nno doubt again and let’s Job
\nthink about it. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:24:46,760 –> 00:24:50,160
\nAnd Job is realized the very
\nawkward position that he’s in. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:24:50,680 –> 00:24:54,960
\nAnd we find in the beginning of
\nthis 42nd chapter how Job says <\/p>\n
439
\n00:24:54,960 –> 00:24:59,080
\nin verse two, I uttered that I
\nunderstood not things too <\/p>\n
440
\n00:24:59,080 –> 00:25:01,520
\nwonderful for me, which I knew
\nnot. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:25:02,080 –> 00:25:05,280
\nAnd therefore he finally comes
\nto the conclusion in verse 6. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:06,080 –> 00:25:11,760
\nWherefore I abhor myself and
\nrepent in dust and ashes. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:25:12,360 –> 00:25:15,720
\nJob had given up the fight
\nbefore he’d even begun it when <\/p>\n
444
\n00:25:15,720 –> 00:25:17,600
\nit came to his debate with the
\nAlmighty. <\/p>\n
445
\n00:25:18,560 –> 00:25:21,720
\nAnd I suppose sometimes we don’t
\ngive up nearly as easily, do we?<\/p>\n
446
\n00:25:22,880 –> 00:25:25,920
\nWe seem to take an awful long
\ntime before we’re willing to <\/p>\n
447
\n00:25:25,920 –> 00:25:29,640
\ngive in to the statements of the
\nAlmighty and to recognize the <\/p>\n
448
\n00:25:29,640 –> 00:25:31,720
\nposition that we have before him
\nthat. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:25:31,720 –> 00:25:33,880
\nWe are indeed but dust and
\nashes. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:25:34,480 –> 00:25:36,920
\nAnd that we have to accept His
\nword and give in to him <\/p>\n
451
\n00:25:36,920 –> 00:25:40,480
\ncompletely if we expect to
\nreceive that glorious blessing <\/p>\n
452
\n00:25:40,480 –> 00:25:43,400
\nto come.
\nAnd here we find that Job has <\/p>\n
453
\n00:25:43,400 –> 00:25:45,120
\ncome to the position of
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
454
\n00:25:45,680 –> 00:25:48,040
\nHe realized that he had said
\nunfortunate things. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:25:48,040 –> 00:25:51,640
\nNow let’s remember when the
\nstory started out. <\/p>\n
456
\n00:25:52,000 –> 00:25:55,200
\nJob was perfect and upright, a
\nman that feared God and his true<\/p>\n
457
\n00:25:55,240 –> 00:25:55,960
\nevil.
\nAnd I really. <\/p>\n
458
\n00:25:55,960 –> 00:25:58,240
\nBelieve that he was.
\nHe’s spoken of in very <\/p>\n
459
\n00:25:58,240 –> 00:26:01,240
\ncomplimentary terms throughout
\nthe scriptures in a variety of <\/p>\n
460
\n00:26:01,240 –> 00:26:03,600
\nplaces.
\nI don’t think he was a wicked <\/p>\n
461
\n00:26:03,600 –> 00:26:07,760
\nindividual, but he did have a
\nproblem and he could benefit by <\/p>\n
462
\n00:26:07,760 –> 00:26:10,760
\nhis suffering as well as others,
\nbut could benefit by it. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:26:11,120 –> 00:26:15,960
\nHe could realize that.
\nHe shouldn’t be proud of his own<\/p>\n
464
\n00:26:15,960 –> 00:26:18,880
\nrighteousness, that he had
\nnothing to be proud of, no <\/p>\n
465
\n00:26:18,880 –> 00:26:21,040
\nmatter how good of life he may
\nhave lived. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:26:21,600 –> 00:26:24,000
\nAnd the Scripture tells us as
\nmuch, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
467
\n00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:26,120
\nIt tells us that no matter what
\nwe do. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:26:26,120 –> 00:26:28,880
\nFor the Lord.
\nWe’re still unprofitable <\/p>\n
469
\n00:26:28,880 –> 00:26:31,000
\nservants.
\nIt’s only our reasonable <\/p>\n
470
\n00:26:31,000 –> 00:26:33,000
\nservice.
\nThere isn’t anything that we can<\/p>\n
471
\n00:26:33,000 –> 00:26:36,640
\ndo to really give God anything.
\nThe wages of sin is death, if we<\/p>\n
472
\n00:26:36,640 –> 00:26:37,920
\nexpect to be paid for what
\nwe’ve. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:26:37,920 –> 00:26:40,560
\nDone.
\nThe wages is going to be death, <\/p>\n
474
\n00:26:40,560 –> 00:26:44,760
\nand we all deserve it.
\nAnd therefore the gift of God is<\/p>\n
475
\n00:26:44,760 –> 00:26:46,760
\neternal life.
\nIt’s not something we can earn. <\/p>\n
476
\n00:26:47,400 –> 00:26:51,040
\nJob had no right to claim that
\nGod owed him something better <\/p>\n
477
\n00:26:51,040 –> 00:26:53,920
\nthan he was getting.
\nHe had to recognize that <\/p>\n
478
\n00:26:53,920 –> 00:26:57,720
\nanything that God gives is a
\ngift and not something that we <\/p>\n
479
\n00:26:57,720 –> 00:26:59,680
\ndeserve, and we have to
\nrecognize that too. <\/p>\n
480
\n00:26:59,840 –> 00:27:03,440
\nAnd unless we approach God with
\nthat attitude of a humble and a <\/p>\n
481
\n00:27:03,440 –> 00:27:06,880
\ncontrite spirit, we cannot be
\npossibly be pleasing in His <\/p>\n
482
\n00:27:06,880 –> 00:27:09,640
\nsight.
\nAnd consequently we find that <\/p>\n
483
\n00:27:09,640 –> 00:27:12,360
\nthe Lord hasn’t said it all yet.
\nHe. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:27:12,360 –> 00:27:14,000
\nStill has a little.
\nSpeaking to Do. <\/p>\n
485
\n00:27:14,120 –> 00:27:16,440
\nBut on.
\nThis occasion, now that Job has <\/p>\n
486
\n00:27:16,440 –> 00:27:20,000
\nrepented, he turns his attention
\nto Job’s three friends. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:27:20,440 –> 00:27:23,800
\nAnd consequently, in verse 7, as
\nwe’ve already read, we’ll look <\/p>\n
488
\n00:27:23,800 –> 00:27:26,840
\nat it again.
\nAnd it was so that after the <\/p>\n
489
\n00:27:26,840 –> 00:27:31,760
\nLord had spoken these words unto
\nJob, the Lord said unto Eliphast<\/p>\n
490
\n00:27:31,760 –> 00:27:35,120
\nthe Teemanite, My wrath is a
\ncandle against thee and against <\/p>\n
491
\n00:27:35,120 –> 00:27:39,040
\nthy two friends.
\nFor ye have not spoken that <\/p>\n
492
\n00:27:39,040 –> 00:27:43,440
\nwhich is right concerning me as
\nmy servant Jobath. <\/p>\n
493
\n00:27:43,880 –> 00:27:47,240
\nWhat a statement.
\nAnd we’re a bit puzzled about <\/p>\n
494
\n00:27:47,240 –> 00:27:50,440
\nit.
\nYou’ve not spoken that which is <\/p>\n
495
\n00:27:50,440 –> 00:27:52,320
\nright concerning me as my
\nservant, Jobath. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:27:53,280 –> 00:27:55,520
\nHow come?
\nWell, you know, there’s an awful<\/p>\n
497
\n00:27:55,520 –> 00:27:59,200
\nlot of things that they said in
\nthe debate that were right, but <\/p>\n
498
\n00:27:59,200 –> 00:28:02,560
\nthere were some things they said
\nthat were not right, and we have<\/p>\n
499
\n00:28:02,560 –> 00:28:06,440
\nit recorded for us here in this
\ndoctrine of exact retribution. <\/p>\n
500
\n00:28:07,040 –> 00:28:11,120
\nThey had found no answer.
\nAnd yet they had still condemned<\/p>\n
501
\n00:28:11,120 –> 00:28:13,920
\nJob.
\nThey were not right. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:28:13,920 –> 00:28:17,520
\nAnd what they said about exact
\nretribution, Job was right. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:28:18,160 –> 00:28:20,320
\nAnd for that matter, there was a
\nfew things that Job hadn’t said <\/p>\n
504
\n00:28:20,320 –> 00:28:23,640
\nthat was right in charging God
\nfoolishly, but that situation <\/p>\n
505
\n00:28:23,640 –> 00:28:26,680
\nhad already been taken care of
\nin the speeches of the Almighty,<\/p>\n
506
\n00:28:26,880 –> 00:28:28,840
\nand in Job’s admission and
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:28:29,360 –> 00:28:33,080
\nBut here we find that he accuses
\nthem of not speaking that which <\/p>\n
508
\n00:28:33,080 –> 00:28:37,800
\nis right about God.
\nVerse 8 Therefore take unto you <\/p>\n
509
\n00:28:37,800 –> 00:28:41,960
\nnow 7 bullocks and seven Rams,
\nand go to my servant Job and. <\/p>\n
510
\n00:28:41,960 –> 00:28:45,400
\nOffer up for yourselves a burnt
\noffering, and my servant Job <\/p>\n
511
\n00:28:45,400 –> 00:28:48,920
\nshall pray for you, for him will
\nI accept. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:28:49,800 –> 00:28:53,880
\nLest I deal with you after your
\nfolly, in that you have not <\/p>\n
513
\n00:28:53,880 –> 00:28:58,000
\nspoken that of me, that which is
\nright like my servant Joe. <\/p>\n
514
\n00:28:59,120 –> 00:29:00,480
\nNow we have an interesting
\nthing. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:29:01,040 –> 00:29:04,320
\nWhat did the Lord mean when he
\nsaid that I’ll deal with you <\/p>\n
516
\n00:29:04,400 –> 00:29:08,160
\nafter your folly?
\nWell, what did Job’s three <\/p>\n
517
\n00:29:08,160 –> 00:29:11,240
\nfriends claim?
\nThey felt there was such a thing<\/p>\n
518
\n00:29:11,240 –> 00:29:14,240
\nas exact retribution.
\nThey felt that if a person <\/p>\n
519
\n00:29:14,240 –> 00:29:16,720
\nsinned a little bit, they should
\nbe punished a little bit right <\/p>\n
520
\n00:29:16,720 –> 00:29:18,320
\nnow.
\nOr if they send a lot, they <\/p>\n
521
\n00:29:18,320 –> 00:29:19,800
\nshould be punished a lot right
\nnow. <\/p>\n
522
\n00:29:19,920 –> 00:29:22,560
\nAnd what have they done?
\nThey had not spoken that which <\/p>\n
523
\n00:29:22,560 –> 00:29:25,200
\nwas right against God.
\nThey had made accusations <\/p>\n
524
\n00:29:25,200 –> 00:29:28,680
\nagainst God that were not true.
\nWhat then should God do? <\/p>\n
525
\n00:29:29,120 –> 00:29:31,320
\nShould God treat them the way
\nthey said that they should be <\/p>\n
526
\n00:29:31,320 –> 00:29:33,400
\ntreated?
\nShould he punish him in <\/p>\n
527
\n00:29:33,400 –> 00:29:35,480
\nproportion to what they had done
\nright away? <\/p>\n
528
\n00:29:36,560 –> 00:29:39,600
\nShall I deal with you according
\nto your falling? <\/p>\n
529
\n00:29:41,480 –> 00:29:45,120
\nWhat he’s suggesting to them is
\nthat unless they repent, he’s <\/p>\n
530
\n00:29:45,120 –> 00:29:48,120
\ngoing to do just exactly what
\nthey thought he ought to do. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:29:48,760 –> 00:29:50,920
\nHe ought to punish them in
\nproportion to that which they <\/p>\n
532
\n00:29:50,920 –> 00:29:53,560
\nhad done wrong.
\nAnd so he said, unless they <\/p>\n
533
\n00:29:53,560 –> 00:29:56,680
\nrepent, unless they offer a
\nburnt offering and go to Job and<\/p>\n
534
\n00:29:56,680 –> 00:30:00,720
\nask for him to pray, Father God
\nwould deal with them according <\/p>\n
535
\n00:30:00,720 –> 00:30:03,520
\nto their folly.
\nHe would bring upon them <\/p>\n
536
\n00:30:03,680 –> 00:30:06,520
\nimmediately exact retribution,
\nif that’s really what they <\/p>\n
537
\n00:30:06,520 –> 00:30:09,560
\nwanted.
\nAnd so here we find that. <\/p>\n
538
\n00:30:10,360 –> 00:30:14,200
\nThey did exactly as was
\nrequested, verse 9. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:16,880
\nSo Eliphas the Temanite and
\nBildad the shoe height. <\/p>\n
540
\n00:30:16,880 –> 00:30:20,520
\nAnd so far the Namethite went
\nand did according as the Lord <\/p>\n
541
\n00:30:20,520 –> 00:30:24,440
\ncommanded them.
\nAnd the Lord also accepted Job, <\/p>\n
542
\n00:30:24,720 –> 00:30:28,320
\nand the Lord turned the
\ncaptivity of Job when he prayed <\/p>\n
543
\n00:30:28,320 –> 00:30:31,960
\nfor his three friends.
\nDid you notice that the first <\/p>\n
544
\n00:30:31,960 –> 00:30:35,640
\nthing Job did while he’s still
\nin the position of agony that we<\/p>\n
545
\n00:30:35,640 –> 00:30:38,920
\nsaw him on the first child?
\nWe find it was then that he <\/p>\n
546
\n00:30:38,920 –> 00:30:43,040
\nprayed for his three friends
\nwhile he was still in that <\/p>\n
547
\n00:30:43,040 –> 00:30:47,560
\nposition of agony, and I don’t
\nthink we can possibly help but <\/p>\n
548
\n00:30:47,560 –> 00:30:51,600
\nsee the remarkable parallel
\nbetween Job, the righteous <\/p>\n
549
\n00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:56,680
\nsuffering servant of Yahweh, and
\nthe Lord Jesus Christ, God’s <\/p>\n
550
\n00:30:56,680 –> 00:31:00,520
\nrighteous suffering servant.
\nRemembering that even while <\/p>\n
551
\n00:31:00,600 –> 00:31:04,880
\nJesus was being in the process
\nof being crucified, he turned to<\/p>\n
552
\n00:31:04,880 –> 00:31:08,320
\nhis Heavenly Father and said
\nFather forgive them. <\/p>\n
553
\n00:31:09,240 –> 00:31:10,640
\nWell, they know not what they
\ndo. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:31:11,600 –> 00:31:15,760
\nAnd here, while Job was still in
\nthe process of suffering, he <\/p>\n
555
\n00:31:15,760 –> 00:31:19,720
\nprayed for his three friends,
\nEliphaz, Bildad and Zophar. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:31:20,240 –> 00:31:23,960
\nAnd it was not until after he
\nhad prayed for his three friends<\/p>\n
557
\n00:31:24,440 –> 00:31:27,120
\nthat the Lord turned the
\ncaptivity of Job. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:31:27,320 –> 00:31:31,200
\nA very beautiful thing.
\nAnd in turning that captivity of<\/p>\n
559
\n00:31:31,200 –> 00:31:35,880
\nJob, just what does it entail,
\nwe find that it entails a number<\/p>\n
560
\n00:31:35,880 –> 00:31:39,480
\nof things.
\nIn that tenth verse we read also<\/p>\n
561
\n00:31:39,480 –> 00:31:43,560
\nthe Lord gave to Job twice as
\nmuch as He had before. <\/p>\n
562
\n00:31:44,640 –> 00:31:48,960
\nVery interesting statement,
\ntwice as much as He had before, <\/p>\n
563
\n00:31:49,400 –> 00:31:51,720
\nand we also have that depicted
\nas well. <\/p>\n
564
\n00:31:53,160 –> 00:31:57,280
\nWe have a list on the left hand
\nside of the chart of what Job <\/p>\n
565
\n00:31:57,280 –> 00:32:01,040
\nstarted out with, and we have a
\nlist on the right hand side of <\/p>\n
566
\n00:32:01,040 –> 00:32:03,240
\nthe chart of what Job ended up
\nwith. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:08,120
\nAnd we noticed how that Job does
\nindeed gain twice as much as he <\/p>\n
568
\n00:32:08,120 –> 00:32:12,080
\nhad before.
\nAnd we read about that verse 12.<\/p>\n
569
\n00:32:12,080 –> 00:32:14,000
\nWe’ll have to skip a little bit.
\nWe will come back. <\/p>\n
570
\n00:32:15,040 –> 00:32:17,160
\nWe learned that so.
\nThe Lord blessed the latter. <\/p>\n
571
\n00:32:17,160 –> 00:32:18,760
\nEnd of Job.
\nMore than the beginning. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:32:19,640 –> 00:32:23,400
\nFor he had 14,000 sheep at the
\nbeginning he had only. 7. <\/p>\n
573
\n00:32:24,440 –> 00:32:28,200
\nAnd he had 6000 camels.
\nAt the beginning, he had only <\/p>\n
574
\n00:32:28,200 –> 00:32:33,160
\nthree. 1000 Yoga box and 1000
\nyear Siri asses, of which he had<\/p>\n
575
\n00:32:33,160 –> 00:32:36,800
\nonly 500 each at the beginning.
\nThe Lord has indeed turned the <\/p>\n
576
\n00:32:36,800 –> 00:32:39,440
\ncaptivity of Job.
\nHe has given him a double <\/p>\n
577
\n00:32:39,440 –> 00:32:41,040
\nportion.
\nWhich of course, we. <\/p>\n
578
\n00:32:41,040 –> 00:32:44,080
\nRecognize is the right of the
\nfirst born. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:32:44,680 –> 00:32:48,440
\nGod gave to Job really the right
\nof the first born, giving him a <\/p>\n
580
\n00:32:48,440 –> 00:32:50,480
\ndouble portion of what he had
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
581
\n00:32:50,760 –> 00:32:53,600
\nA very beautiful thought.
\nNow, I said back at the <\/p>\n
582
\n00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:55,520
\nbeginning of the week that I was
\ngoing to make us some <\/p>\n
583
\n00:32:55,520 –> 00:32:59,480
\nsuggestions when we get on to
\nthe end of the book of Job, and <\/p>\n
584
\n00:32:59,480 –> 00:33:03,120
\nI’d certainly like to make them.
\nFirst of all, I said I was going<\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:03,120 –> 00:33:07,640
\nto suggest as to how old I
\nthought Job was and you notice <\/p>\n
586
\n00:33:07,640 –> 00:33:10,480
\non the chat before you that
\nwe’ve put down. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:33:10,480 –> 00:33:14,000
\nHow long Job lived after the
\nevent took place. <\/p>\n
588
\n00:33:14,200 –> 00:33:18,520
\nWe find that for us in the 16th
\nverse after this. <\/p>\n
589
\n00:33:18,520 –> 00:33:23,320
\nIn other words, after Job had
\ngone through his suffering, Job <\/p>\n
590
\n00:33:23,320 –> 00:33:26,320
\nlived in 100 and. 40 years.
\nAnd he saw his sons and his sons<\/p>\n
591
\n00:33:26,320 –> 00:33:31,280
\nsons, even 4 generations.
\nSo Job being full of being old <\/p>\n
592
\n00:33:31,280 –> 00:33:35,360
\nand full of days, died.
\nHere we have Job living 140 <\/p>\n
593
\n00:33:35,360 –> 00:33:38,080
\nyears after the event takes
\nplace. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:33:39,080 –> 00:33:42,680
\nIt doesn’t tell us how old Job
\nwas to begin with and we have to<\/p>\n
595
\n00:33:42,680 –> 00:33:47,440
\nbegin to guess.
\nHowever, if indeed God gave Job <\/p>\n
596
\n00:33:47,480 –> 00:33:50,600
\na double portion, twice as much
\nof everything else. <\/p>\n
597
\n00:33:50,600 –> 00:33:54,160
\nThat he had.
\nAfter the action, is it not <\/p>\n
598
\n00:33:54,160 –> 00:33:57,920
\npossible that he gave him a
\ndouble portion of years after <\/p>\n
599
\n00:33:57,920 –> 00:34:00,440
\nthe action as well?
\nAnd that’s why at the beginning <\/p>\n
600
\n00:34:00,440 –> 00:34:02,640
\nof the week, I suggested that it
\njust might. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:34:02,640 –> 00:34:06,160
\nBe that Job was 70 years of age
\nwhen this took place. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:34:06,360 –> 00:34:09,960
\nAnd you know it’s not that far
\nfetched when you stop to think <\/p>\n
603
\n00:34:09,960 –> 00:34:14,120
\nthat job had ten children and
\nthese ten children were already <\/p>\n
604
\n00:34:14,120 –> 00:34:17,000
\ngrown up.
\nEven if we take the minimum <\/p>\n
605
\n00:34:17,000 –> 00:34:20,000
\nyears that could possibly have
\nelapsed and say Job got married <\/p>\n
606
\n00:34:20,000 –> 00:34:22,800
\nat 20 years of age.
\nWhich may be a little bit <\/p>\n
607
\n00:34:22,800 –> 00:34:25,520
\nunlikely at that time, but even
\nif we say that. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:34:26,080 –> 00:34:29,159
\nAnd say that they had children
\none every year for 10 years, <\/p>\n
609
\n00:34:29,800 –> 00:34:31,960
\nthat would mean the last child
\nwould have been born when he was<\/p>\n
610
\n00:34:31,960 –> 00:34:34,480
\n30.
\nAnd even if that child was just <\/p>\n
611
\n00:34:34,480 –> 00:34:37,480
\nbarely grown up and say only 20
\nyears of age, job then would <\/p>\n
612
\n00:34:37,480 –> 00:34:39,239
\nhave had to have been at least
\n50. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:34:40,000 –> 00:34:42,600
\nAnd so we find that it’s not
\nunreasonable to say that he very<\/p>\n
614
\n00:34:42,600 –> 00:34:46,320
\nwell may have been 70 years of
\nage when the action took place <\/p>\n
615
\n00:34:46,679 –> 00:34:50,880
\nand, if this is the case, living
\n140 years afterwards. <\/p>\n
616
\n00:34:51,320 –> 00:34:54,719
\nWould give him a double portion
\nof years along with the double <\/p>\n
617
\n00:34:54,719 –> 00:34:56,280
\nportion of wealth that he had as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:34:56,960 –> 00:34:58,520
\nIt would be.
\nAppropriate, wouldn’t it? <\/p>\n
619
\n00:34:58,920 –> 00:35:01,960
\nAnd I’m not going to be dogmatic
\nabout it, but I’m just going to <\/p>\n
620
\n00:35:01,960 –> 00:35:03,720
\nsuggest it for your
\nconsideration. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:35:04,200 –> 00:35:06,640
\nPerhaps you’ll find it
\ninteresting, as I also have. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:35:07,560 –> 00:35:10,120
\nBut I don’t think that that’s
\nthe most beautiful and most <\/p>\n
623
\n00:35:10,120 –> 00:35:13,200
\nremarkable thing of all.
\nFor we find that there’s another<\/p>\n
624
\n00:35:13,200 –> 00:35:16,080
\nthing that’s mentioned in the
\nscriptures, and that lets us <\/p>\n
625
\n00:35:16,080 –> 00:35:18,920
\nponder a little bit.
\nAnd we find that in the 13th <\/p>\n
626
\n00:35:18,920 –> 00:35:24,560
\nverse of this very remarkable
\nepilogue, he had also seven sons<\/p>\n
627
\n00:35:25,000 –> 00:35:28,480
\nand three daughters.
\nOh, we’ve got a problem, haven’t<\/p>\n
628
\n00:35:28,480 –> 00:35:30,960
\nwe?
\nSeven sons and three. <\/p>\n
629
\n00:35:30,960 –> 00:35:33,720
\nDaughters, do you remember when
\nhe started out the story of the <\/p>\n
630
\n00:35:33,720 –> 00:35:34,440
\nbook?
\nOf Job. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:35:35,280 –> 00:35:39,800
\nJob had seven sons and three
\ndaughters and some have gone or <\/p>\n
632
\n00:35:39,800 –> 00:35:42,080
\nEven so far as to say, well, you
\nknow, they didn’t really die. <\/p>\n
633
\n00:35:42,080 –> 00:35:44,920
\nIt was just a a story that was
\nbrought to Job and it really <\/p>\n
634
\n00:35:44,920 –> 00:35:46,880
\nwasn’t.
\nSo they were just hidden <\/p>\n
635
\n00:35:46,880 –> 00:35:49,840
\nsomewhere to see how Job would
\nreact when he received the news.<\/p>\n
636
\n00:35:51,120 –> 00:35:54,240
\nI can’t quite accept that, first
\nof all because the Bible says <\/p>\n
637
\n00:35:54,240 –> 00:35:57,640
\nso, and I’ll bring up a reason
\nfor why. <\/p>\n
638
\n00:35:57,640 –> 00:35:59,360
\nI feel that there’s absolute
\nproof of it. <\/p>\n
639
\n00:35:59,360 –> 00:36:02,640
\nBut another reason.
\nCould any of you possibly <\/p>\n
640
\n00:36:02,640 –> 00:36:06,280
\nimagine that you might have 10
\nchildren that were killed all at<\/p>\n
641
\n00:36:06,280 –> 00:36:09,880
\nonce, and you wouldn’t even be
\ninterested enough to go to their<\/p>\n
642
\n00:36:09,880 –> 00:36:13,400
\nfuneral, and you could be fooled
\ninto thinking they were dead <\/p>\n
643
\n00:36:13,400 –> 00:36:16,000
\nwhen they weren’t?
\nI doubt it. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:36:16,760 –> 00:36:18,800
\nI doubt it very, very, very
\nmuch. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:36:19,360 –> 00:36:21,480
\nAnd I doubt that that would have
\nbeen the case in the case of <\/p>\n
646
\n00:36:21,480 –> 00:36:24,280
\nJob.
\nBut more than that, if we’ll <\/p>\n
647
\n00:36:24,280 –> 00:36:27,680
\nexamine the Septuagint
\ntranslation, and perhaps some <\/p>\n
648
\n00:36:27,680 –> 00:36:30,040
\nothers as well, perhaps my
\nresearch hasn’t been as complete<\/p>\n
649
\n00:36:30,040 –> 00:36:33,480
\nas it ought to be.
\nWe find a very interesting <\/p>\n
650
\n00:36:33,480 –> 00:36:36,280
\nwording there.
\nWhen we start out the action of <\/p>\n
651
\n00:36:36,280 –> 00:36:40,320
\nthe Book of Job, it says that
\nJob had they were in existence. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:36:40,480 –> 00:36:42,920
\nHe had seven sons and three
\ndaughters, They were already <\/p>\n
653
\n00:36:42,920 –> 00:36:45,480
\nthere.
\nBut when we come to the 16th <\/p>\n
654
\n00:36:45,480 –> 00:36:49,560
\nverse of the 40, excuse me, the
\n13th verse or the 42nd chapter <\/p>\n
655
\n00:36:49,560 –> 00:36:52,040
\nof Job, we read something
\nentirely different. <\/p>\n
656
\n00:36:52,160 –> 00:36:56,920
\nIt says, And they were born unto
\nJob, seven sons and three <\/p>\n
657
\n00:36:56,920 –> 00:36:59,600
\ndaughters.
\nAnd this brings us to the most <\/p>\n
658
\n00:36:59,600 –> 00:37:02,760
\nremarkable, beautiful pieces
\nthat I can think of in the. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:37:02,760 –> 00:37:05,520
\nScriptures except a course for
\nthe resurrection of the Lord <\/p>\n
660
\n00:37:05,520 –> 00:37:09,840
\nJesus Christ.
\nHere we find the an assurance of<\/p>\n
661
\n00:37:09,840 –> 00:37:13,280
\nthe resurrection of the.
\nDead Job was to receive a double<\/p>\n
662
\n00:37:13,280 –> 00:37:14,800
\nportion of everything and he
\ndid. <\/p>\n
663
\n00:37:14,800 –> 00:37:17,360
\nAs far as the animals were
\nconcerned, they weren’t going to<\/p>\n
664
\n00:37:17,360 –> 00:37:20,640
\nbe in the Kingdom of God.
\nThat was material things as far <\/p>\n
665
\n00:37:20,640 –> 00:37:23,600
\nas Job was concerned, and
\ntherefore he received the double<\/p>\n
666
\n00:37:23,600 –> 00:37:26,360
\nportion right then.
\nAnd I already suggested he <\/p>\n
667
\n00:37:26,360 –> 00:37:29,320
\nreceived a double portion of
\nyears as well in this mortal <\/p>\n
668
\n00:37:29,320 –> 00:37:31,880
\nlife.
\nBut when it comes to the ten <\/p>\n
669
\n00:37:31,880 –> 00:37:34,400
\nchildren.
\nHe’s going to have a double <\/p>\n
670
\n00:37:34,400 –> 00:37:37,560
\nportion of that as well.
\nHe has seven sons and three <\/p>\n
671
\n00:37:37,560 –> 00:37:39,320
\ndaughters to begin with that
\ndied. <\/p>\n
672
\n00:37:39,920 –> 00:37:43,640
\nHe now receives another seven
\nsons and three daughters, all of<\/p>\n
673
\n00:37:43,640 –> 00:37:45,520
\nwhich I would suggest are
\nrighteous. <\/p>\n
674
\n00:37:45,880 –> 00:37:48,880
\nAnd in the Kingdom of God, he’s
\ngoing to end up with 20 children<\/p>\n
675
\n00:37:48,880 –> 00:37:51,720
\nand not just 10.
\nHe’s going to have a double <\/p>\n
676
\n00:37:51,720 –> 00:37:53,080
\nportion of.
\nChildren in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n
677
\n00:37:53,080 –> 00:37:55,360
\nOf God an assurance of the
\nresurrection. <\/p>\n
678
\n00:37:55,560 –> 00:37:59,680
\nWhat a beautiful thought this is
\nthat Job not only received a <\/p>\n
679
\n00:37:59,680 –> 00:38:03,320
\ndouble portion of material goods
\nand even years in which he might<\/p>\n
680
\n00:38:03,320 –> 00:38:06,000
\nlive his mortal life out, but
\nthat he would have a double <\/p>\n
681
\n00:38:06,000 –> 00:38:09,440
\nportion of children as well.
\nThe 10 who died, the 10 who was <\/p>\n
682
\n00:38:09,440 –> 00:38:11,600
\nnow born unto him in the Kingdom
\nof God. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:38:11,840 –> 00:38:14,840
\nThere would indeed be 20, and
\nwhat a wonderful thing. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:38:15,680 –> 00:38:19,360
\nAnd I can’t help but say it now
\nthat I know that every parent in<\/p>\n
685
\n00:38:19,360 –> 00:38:23,480
\nthis room hopes that all of
\ntheir children will indeed be <\/p>\n
686
\n00:38:23,480 –> 00:38:26,720
\nfaithful and will be able to
\nlive with them in the Kingdom of<\/p>\n
687
\n00:38:26,720 –> 00:38:30,160
\nGod and receive that wonderful
\ngift of immortality. <\/p>\n
688
\n00:38:30,760 –> 00:38:34,360
\nI know it’s the desire of every
\nparent and think what a <\/p>\n
689
\n00:38:34,360 –> 00:38:37,800
\nwonderful blessing it was for
\nJob to be able to look forward <\/p>\n
690
\n00:38:37,800 –> 00:38:40,040
\nto that glorious blessing.
\nWhen the whole. <\/p>\n
691
\n00:38:40,160 –> 00:38:43,960
\nFamily would be reunited in the
\nKingdom of God. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:38:44,160 –> 00:38:49,520
\nWhat a beautiful thing.
\nBut now I’m considering one <\/p>\n
693
\n00:38:49,520 –> 00:38:53,040
\nother rather interesting thing.
\nBack in that 11th verse, you <\/p>\n
694
\n00:38:53,040 –> 00:38:54,960
\nnotice I skipped over that one
\npretty quick, didn’t I? <\/p>\n
695
\n00:38:54,960 –> 00:38:57,880
\nI didn’t go into it very much
\nbecause I’m trying to string you<\/p>\n
696
\n00:38:57,880 –> 00:39:01,000
\nalong on this all week long.
\nI told you I was going to have a<\/p>\n
697
\n00:39:01,000 –> 00:39:03,320
\nlittle something to say about
\nSatan when we got to the end of <\/p>\n
698
\n00:39:03,320 –> 00:39:06,680
\nthe book.
\nAnd I’d like to you notice back <\/p>\n
699
\n00:39:06,680 –> 00:39:09,520
\nat the beginning of the book we
\nhave this Satan referred to this<\/p>\n
700
\n00:39:09,520 –> 00:39:13,800
\nenemy who claimed that Job was
\nonly entering into a financial <\/p>\n
701
\n00:39:13,800 –> 00:39:17,200
\narrangement with God and saw no
\nreason whatsoever why he should <\/p>\n
702
\n00:39:17,200 –> 00:39:20,560
\nemulate the life of Job, why he
\nshould be righteous as Job was <\/p>\n
703
\n00:39:20,560 –> 00:39:23,280
\nrighteous feeling that Job
\nreally wasn’t righteous after <\/p>\n
704
\n00:39:23,280 –> 00:39:25,120
\nall.
\nHe was only selling his <\/p>\n
705
\n00:39:25,120 –> 00:39:28,080
\nrighteousness to God and nothing
\nmore, and that his intents were <\/p>\n
706
\n00:39:28,080 –> 00:39:32,040
\nnot pure and righteous.
\nAfter all, we find Satan <\/p>\n
707
\n00:39:32,040 –> 00:39:35,520
\nmentioned in the first chapter.
\nWe find him mentioned again in <\/p>\n
708
\n00:39:35,520 –> 00:39:39,280
\nthe second chapter.
\nAnd then we have 40 chapters in <\/p>\n
709
\n00:39:39,280 –> 00:39:42,680
\nthe book of Job to explain to
\nJob why he was, why he was <\/p>\n
710
\n00:39:42,680 –> 00:39:44,920
\nsuffering.
\nAnd there’s no indication <\/p>\n
711
\n00:39:44,920 –> 00:39:47,960
\nthroughout that whole period of
\nwhatever happened to this Satan.<\/p>\n
712
\n00:39:48,080 –> 00:39:49,400
\nHe isn’t mentioned again in the
\nwhole of. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:39:49,400 –> 00:39:52,720
\nThe Book of Job and.
\nIn regard to the popular idea of<\/p>\n
714
\n00:39:52,720 –> 00:39:55,120
\nSatan, we’d have a tremendous.
\nProblem, wouldn’t we? <\/p>\n
715
\n00:39:55,600 –> 00:39:58,600
\nBecause here we have 40 chapters
\nto explain to Job why he was <\/p>\n
716
\n00:39:58,600 –> 00:40:01,920
\nsuffering and we find that when
\nJob’s wife comes along, she <\/p>\n
717
\n00:40:01,920 –> 00:40:05,640
\ndoesn’t say anything.
\nAbout a fallen Angel Devil being<\/p>\n
718
\n00:40:05,640 –> 00:40:07,520
\nthe one who was bringing this
\nproblem upon Job. <\/p>\n
719
\n00:40:07,600 –> 00:40:13,120
\nAnd when we come to Job’s three
\nfriends, Eliphaz, Bildad and <\/p>\n
720
\n00:40:13,120 –> 00:40:15,960
\nZophar, not one of them.
\nBring up the suggestion that it <\/p>\n
721
\n00:40:15,960 –> 00:40:18,160
\nmight have been a fallen Angel
\ndevil who were bringing these <\/p>\n
722
\n00:40:18,160 –> 00:40:20,840
\nthings upon Job.
\nAnd then when we come to the <\/p>\n
723
\n00:40:20,840 –> 00:40:23,680
\nspeeches of Elihu that have
\nfurther to bring light upon <\/p>\n
724
\n00:40:23,680 –> 00:40:27,200
\nJob’s suffering, we find that
\nElihu says absolutely nothing. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:40:27,640 –> 00:40:32,040
\nAgainst this arch fiend of
\nPopular Christianity Today, and <\/p>\n
726
\n00:40:32,040 –> 00:40:35,480
\nfinally, when we come to the
\nvoice of the Almighty, he is <\/p>\n
727
\n00:40:35,480 –> 00:40:39,600
\nequally silent about a
\ntyrannical Angel that had caused<\/p>\n
728
\n00:40:39,600 –> 00:40:42,080
\nthe suffering of Job.
\nHow come? <\/p>\n
729
\n00:40:42,680 –> 00:40:48,000
\nWhy is it that in 40 chapters,
\nif indeed popular Christianity <\/p>\n
730
\n00:40:48,000 –> 00:40:51,520
\nis correct today, there’s no
\nmention of this devil bringing <\/p>\n
731
\n00:40:51,520 –> 00:40:54,280
\nupon the problems of Job?
\nInstead, we find other things <\/p>\n
732
\n00:40:54,280 –> 00:40:57,120
\nentirely, don’t we?
\nWe find in the second chapter. <\/p>\n
733
\n00:40:57,120 –> 00:41:00,040
\nThat the Lord says, Why hast
\nthou moved me to destroy him <\/p>\n
734
\n00:41:00,040 –> 00:41:02,240
\nwithout a ’cause it was actually
\nGod? <\/p>\n
735
\n00:41:02,240 –> 00:41:04,800
\nThat was bringing these things
\nupon job in the. <\/p>\n
736
\n00:41:04,800 –> 00:41:07,880
\nWords of Job himself.
\nIn the debate, we find that he <\/p>\n
737
\n00:41:07,880 –> 00:41:10,640
\nsays that it’s the Lord that has
\ndone these things to him. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:41:11,160 –> 00:41:15,800
\nAnd when we come to this very
\ninteresting epilogue, we find <\/p>\n
739
\n00:41:15,800 –> 00:41:19,040
\nalso a statement that it was the
\nlaw that had brought these <\/p>\n
740
\n00:41:19,040 –> 00:41:22,600
\nthings upon Job.
\nLet’s read this 11th verse <\/p>\n
741
\n00:41:22,600 –> 00:41:25,720
\ntogether.
\nThen there came unto him all of <\/p>\n
742
\n00:41:25,720 –> 00:41:30,600
\nhis brethren, and all of his
\nsisters, and all of those that <\/p>\n
743
\n00:41:30,600 –> 00:41:33,840
\nhad been his acquaintance before
\ntime, and did eat bread with him<\/p>\n
744
\n00:41:33,840 –> 00:41:36,400
\nin his house.
\nAnd they bemourned him, and <\/p>\n
745
\n00:41:36,400 –> 00:41:39,760
\ncomforted him over all the evil
\nthat the Lord had brought <\/p>\n
746
\n00:41:39,760 –> 00:41:43,400
\nbrought upon him.
\nEvery man also gave him a piece <\/p>\n
747
\n00:41:43,400 –> 00:41:44,880
\nof money, and every man an
\nearring of. <\/p>\n
748
\n00:41:44,880 –> 00:41:48,120
\nGold Now, we’ve got a couple
\ninteresting things in that <\/p>\n
749
\n00:41:48,160 –> 00:41:50,600
\nverse.
\nFirst of all, the words jump out<\/p>\n
750
\n00:41:50,600 –> 00:41:51,960
\nfrom that.
\nFirst, that says that they <\/p>\n
751
\n00:41:51,960 –> 00:41:55,680
\nbemoaned all the evil that the
\nLord had brought upon him. <\/p>\n
752
\n00:41:56,280 –> 00:41:59,520
\nSo we have at the beginning of
\nthe action a statement by the <\/p>\n
753
\n00:41:59,520 –> 00:42:01,120
\nLord that he was the one that
\nwas doing it. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:42:01,440 –> 00:42:03,600
\nWe have the statement right in
\nthe middle of the book by the <\/p>\n
755
\n00:42:03,600 –> 00:42:06,280
\nwords of Job himself that he
\nrecognized God had done it. <\/p>\n
756
\n00:42:06,720 –> 00:42:09,040
\nAnd then at the end of the book
\nwe find that everybody is <\/p>\n
757
\n00:42:09,040 –> 00:42:12,200
\nacknowledging that the Lord had
\nbrought this evil upon him. <\/p>\n
758
\n00:42:12,520 –> 00:42:16,040
\nIt wasn’t really a fallen Angel
\ndevil that had done it. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:42:16,600 –> 00:42:19,840
\nIt was the law that had done it.
\nBut what about that Satan what? <\/p>\n
760
\n00:42:19,840 –> 00:42:23,800
\nAbout the enemy that had made
\nsuch accusations against Job and<\/p>\n
761
\n00:42:23,800 –> 00:42:26,000
\nwe might also say against God as
\nwell. <\/p>\n
762
\n00:42:26,760 –> 00:42:29,080
\nWell, it’s only a suggestion
\nthat I can make. <\/p>\n
763
\n00:42:29,760 –> 00:42:32,800
\nI have suggested at the
\nbeginning of the book that the <\/p>\n
764
\n00:42:32,800 –> 00:42:36,600
\nreason for the suffering coming
\nupon Job was to coach. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:42:36,600 –> 00:42:40,680
\nThis sinful individual to a
\nbetter way of life, to a way of <\/p>\n
766
\n00:42:40,680 –> 00:42:43,480
\nrighteousness.
\nAnd now when we look at the end <\/p>\n
767
\n00:42:43,480 –> 00:42:46,240
\nof the book of Job, did you
\nnotice the verses that the verse<\/p>\n
768
\n00:42:46,240 –> 00:42:47,840
\nthat we just read and what it
\nsaid? <\/p>\n
769
\n00:42:48,120 –> 00:42:52,720
\nAnd then there came unto him all
\nof his brethren, and all of his <\/p>\n
770
\n00:42:52,720 –> 00:42:55,640
\nsisters, and all they did have
\nbeen out of acquaintance with <\/p>\n
771
\n00:42:55,640 –> 00:42:58,320
\nhim.
\nNow that would seem to me as <\/p>\n
772
\n00:42:58,320 –> 00:43:02,160
\nthough it would probably
\nindicate those that knew Job and<\/p>\n
773
\n00:43:02,160 –> 00:43:05,960
\ncertainly this enemy that had
\nmade such accusations against. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:43:05,960 –> 00:43:09,200
\nJob would have been numbered
\namongst his acquaintance. <\/p>\n
775
\n00:43:10,320 –> 00:43:14,240
\nMy suggestion, then, is that
\nthis enemy was converted. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:43:15,320 –> 00:43:17,360
\nWhat if he was?
\nWhy didn’t the book say that? <\/p>\n
777
\n00:43:17,560 –> 00:43:21,240
\nAnd Satan came among them also.
\nAnd there’s a good reason for <\/p>\n
778
\n00:43:21,240 –> 00:43:23,320
\nit.
\nYou know, there was a time when <\/p>\n
779
\n00:43:23,320 –> 00:43:26,520
\nwe were all.
\nAlone and without God in the <\/p>\n
780
\n00:43:26,520 –> 00:43:31,120
\nworld, we were enemies of the
\nLord, but once we accepted God’s<\/p>\n
781
\n00:43:31,120 –> 00:43:33,840
\nplan of salvation.
\nAnd went down into the waters of<\/p>\n
782
\n00:43:33,840 –> 00:43:36,880
\nbaptism, calling upon the name
\nof the Lord for the remission of<\/p>\n
783
\n00:43:36,880 –> 00:43:39,240
\nour sins.
\nNo longer we treated as <\/p>\n
784
\n00:43:39,240 –> 00:43:43,040
\nstrangers and foreigners, but
\nnow we’re children of God. <\/p>\n
785
\n00:43:43,600 –> 00:43:47,600
\nAnd likewise, if indeed my
\ndeductions are correct. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:43:47,960 –> 00:43:51,240
\nAnd this individual was part of
\nJob’s acquaintance that came and<\/p>\n
787
\n00:43:51,240 –> 00:43:53,960
\nbemoaned all the evil that the
\nLord had brought upon him. <\/p>\n
788
\n00:43:54,080 –> 00:43:56,760
\nAnd they repented and they
\nbrought a piece of money. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:43:57,240 –> 00:44:00,080
\nWhich indeed happens to turn out
\nto be the redemption money <\/p>\n
790
\n00:44:00,280 –> 00:44:03,040
\nSlater incorporated into the
\nMosaic Law. <\/p>\n
791
\n00:44:03,520 –> 00:44:07,560
\nIf indeed this is correct, we
\nwould then find that he’s no <\/p>\n
792
\n00:44:07,560 –> 00:44:11,000
\nlonger an enemy.
\nHe’s no longer a Satan, he. <\/p>\n
793
\n00:44:11,000 –> 00:44:13,880
\nShouldn’t be referred to as an
\nenemy any longer, any more than <\/p>\n
794
\n00:44:13,880 –> 00:44:15,800
\nwe should once we’ve.
\nCome into the household of <\/p>\n
795
\n00:44:15,800 –> 00:44:19,040
\nfaith.
\nHe then would indeed be a <\/p>\n
796
\n00:44:19,040 –> 00:44:23,360
\nfaithful son of the Almighty.
\nIn fact, the very purpose of the<\/p>\n
797
\n00:44:23,360 –> 00:44:26,160
\nbook of Joel would have been
\naccomplished to coach this <\/p>\n
798
\n00:44:26,160 –> 00:44:29,560
\nindividual from his sinful ways
\nand to let him realize that a <\/p>\n
799
\n00:44:29,560 –> 00:44:31,760
\nperson could be righteous for
\nrighteousness sake. <\/p>\n
800
\n00:44:32,280 –> 00:44:34,360
\nIt may very well have made a
\nbetter man out of this <\/p>\n
801
\n00:44:34,360 –> 00:44:37,640
\nindividual, and therefore we
\nshouldn’t go on calling him an <\/p>\n
802
\n00:44:37,640 –> 00:44:41,760
\nenemy.
\nInstead he begins becomes a son <\/p>\n
803
\n00:44:41,760 –> 00:44:44,480
\nof God.
\nA very beautiful part, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
804
\n00:44:45,040 –> 00:44:47,840
\nAnd again I would commend it to
\nyour consideration. <\/p>\n
805
\n00:44:47,840 –> 00:44:52,320
\nI may very well be mistaken, but
\nit’s an interesting thought, and<\/p>\n
806
\n00:44:52,320 –> 00:44:54,520
\nI hope to perhaps later we might
\nhear from you and see what you <\/p>\n
807
\n00:44:54,520 –> 00:44:58,480
\nthink of such an idea.
\nBut now we have another thought <\/p>\n
808
\n00:44:58,480 –> 00:45:00,240
\nthat we might bring up before
\nclosing. <\/p>\n
809
\n00:45:00,600 –> 00:45:02,600
\nOur time has just about
\nevaporated. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:45:03,400 –> 00:45:06,680
\nWe noticed in the 13th, 1st how
\nthat job had been blessed by <\/p>\n
811
\n00:45:06,680 –> 00:45:11,400
\nhaving born unto him seven sons
\nand three daughters. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:45:12,040 –> 00:45:14,440
\nAnd the sons aren’t spoken of
\nvery much, but we do. <\/p>\n
813
\n00:45:14,440 –> 00:45:16,480
\nFind that the daughters are now
\ntalked about. <\/p>\n
814
\n00:45:17,040 –> 00:45:21,000
\nBack in the first chapter we
\nfound the sons were talked about<\/p>\n
815
\n00:45:21,000 –> 00:45:24,000
\nmostly, even though it’s said
\nthat the daughters were there <\/p>\n
816
\n00:45:24,000 –> 00:45:26,680
\nand they did go and feast in
\ntheir brethren’s homes. <\/p>\n
817
\n00:45:27,200 –> 00:45:31,160
\nThere’s no indication in the
\nfirst chapter that they had any <\/p>\n
818
\n00:45:31,160 –> 00:45:35,360
\ninheritance whatsoever.
\nMaybe they did, but it isn’t <\/p>\n
819
\n00:45:35,360 –> 00:45:38,600
\nrecorded for us.
\nWhen we come to the 14th verse, <\/p>\n
820
\n00:45:38,600 –> 00:45:40,680
\nwe read something interesting
\nabout the daughters. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:45:40,880 –> 00:45:44,040
\nFirst of all, their name.
\nIn fact, the sons aren’t named <\/p>\n
822
\n00:45:44,040 –> 00:45:45,760
\neither in the first chapter or
\nthe 2nd. <\/p>\n
823
\n00:45:45,760 –> 00:45:48,320
\nBatch of seven sons.
\nThey’re not named at all, but <\/p>\n
824
\n00:45:48,320 –> 00:45:51,040
\nthe daughters are named and all
\nthose names are significant. <\/p>\n
825
\n00:45:51,360 –> 00:45:53,920
\nVerse 14.
\nAnd he called the name of the <\/p>\n
826
\n00:45:53,920 –> 00:46:00,080
\nfirst Jemima and the name of the
\nsecond Keziah, and the name of <\/p>\n
827
\n00:46:00,080 –> 00:46:03,360
\nthe third Karen Hopek.
\nAnd in all the land, there were <\/p>\n
828
\n00:46:03,360 –> 00:46:06,280
\nno women so.
\nFair as the daughters of Job and<\/p>\n
829
\n00:46:06,280 –> 00:46:08,360
\ntheir father gave.
\nThem inheritance among their <\/p>\n
830
\n00:46:08,360 –> 00:46:11,680
\nbrethren.
\nAn interesting thing, no record <\/p>\n
831
\n00:46:11,680 –> 00:46:14,120
\nof the daughters, the first
\nthree daughters having <\/p>\n
832
\n00:46:14,120 –> 00:46:16,360
\ninheritance among their brethren
\nback in the first chapter. <\/p>\n
833
\n00:46:16,960 –> 00:46:21,640
\nBut here in the 42nd chapter, in
\nthe epilogue, we do find that <\/p>\n
834
\n00:46:21,640 –> 00:46:26,040
\nthere is a record of these girls
\nhaving an inheritance among <\/p>\n
835
\n00:46:26,040 –> 00:46:29,160
\ntheir brethren.
\nA very beautiful thought in the <\/p>\n
836
\n00:46:29,160 –> 00:46:30,760
\nresurrection of the dead, of
\ncourse. <\/p>\n
837
\n00:46:31,120 –> 00:46:35,440
\nThe bride of Christ, which no
\ndoubt these three girls may <\/p>\n
838
\n00:46:35,440 –> 00:46:39,120
\nrepresent in type, will indeed
\nreceive a blessing and <\/p>\n
839
\n00:46:39,120 –> 00:46:41,240
\ninheritance among their
\nbrethren. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:46:42,080 –> 00:46:46,160
\nWe as Gentiles who have been
\ngrafted in to the natural olive <\/p>\n
841
\n00:46:46,160 –> 00:46:49,800
\ntree of Israel, will indeed
\nreceive inheritance among the <\/p>\n
842
\n00:46:49,800 –> 00:46:53,040
\nnatural sons of Abraham.
\nIt’s a very beautiful thought, <\/p>\n
843
\n00:46:53,440 –> 00:46:56,320
\nand it may very well be that
\nthis is what’s being depicted. <\/p>\n
844
\n00:46:56,640 –> 00:47:01,800
\nAnd we find that each of these
\ngirls have a distinct name with <\/p>\n
845
\n00:47:01,800 –> 00:47:06,200
\na meaning.
\nJemiah or Jemima means a dove, <\/p>\n
846
\n00:47:06,920 –> 00:47:10,760
\nand it may be representative of
\nthe Ecclesia in its innocence <\/p>\n
847
\n00:47:10,760 –> 00:47:15,440
\nand its virtue and sacrifice,
\nwhich of course we recognize the<\/p>\n
848
\n00:47:15,440 –> 00:47:17,600
\ndove was also used as a
\nsacrifice. <\/p>\n
849
\n00:47:18,160 –> 00:47:20,160
\nKasiah.
\nHas a definite meaning. <\/p>\n
850
\n00:47:20,520 –> 00:47:25,400
\nIt means a sweet spice, the
\nspice of the cassia, and it was <\/p>\n
851
\n00:47:25,400 –> 00:47:29,680
\nused with the anointing oil, and
\nit also pointed forward to the <\/p>\n
852
\n00:47:29,680 –> 00:47:32,280
\nunion of Christ and his
\necclesia. <\/p>\n
853
\n00:47:32,760 –> 00:47:35,280
\nAnd is very beautifully depicted
\nin the Song of Solomon. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:47:35,880 –> 00:47:38,760
\nI’m going to hand out notes very
\nshortly and you’ll find the <\/p>\n
855
\n00:47:38,760 –> 00:47:40,680
\nreferences are here.
\nI don’t have time to turn them <\/p>\n
856
\n00:47:40,680 –> 00:47:43,600
\nall up.
\nI realize that Karen Hapock has <\/p>\n
857
\n00:47:43,600 –> 00:47:48,920
\na very definite meaning as well.
\nIt means horn of eye paint and <\/p>\n
858
\n00:47:48,920 –> 00:47:51,840
\nperhaps the sisters might be
\nextremely interested in this. <\/p>\n
859
\n00:47:52,360 –> 00:47:54,920
\nAnd what I’m not saying here is
\nit’s a recommendation. <\/p>\n
860
\n00:47:54,920 –> 00:47:57,720
\nYou need a follower against the
\nuse of cosmetics. <\/p>\n
861
\n00:47:58,440 –> 00:48:00,680
\nBut you notice the statement
\nthat it says that there were no <\/p>\n
862
\n00:48:00,680 –> 00:48:03,600
\nwomen found so fair as the
\ndaughters of Job. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:48:04,120 –> 00:48:05,680
\nThey were very, very beautiful
\nwomen. <\/p>\n
864
\n00:48:05,680 –> 00:48:09,440
\nAnd I suspect that this
\nparticular girl, Karen Hapock, <\/p>\n
865
\n00:48:09,640 –> 00:48:13,040
\nwas extremely beautiful.
\nIn fact, I think that what it’s <\/p>\n
866
\n00:48:13,040 –> 00:48:17,920
\ntelling us in that her name
\nmeans Horn of I Paint is that <\/p>\n
867
\n00:48:17,920 –> 00:48:23,040
\nshe was more beautiful without
\ncosmetics than most women are. <\/p>\n
868
\n00:48:23,040 –> 00:48:26,800
\nWith the help of cosmetics.
\nThere were no women found so <\/p>\n
869
\n00:48:26,800 –> 00:48:29,840
\nfair.
\nAs the daughters of Job, I think<\/p>\n
870
\n00:48:29,840 –> 00:48:33,800
\nit’s a very beautiful thought.
\nNow, before we close, I’ve got a<\/p>\n
871
\n00:48:33,800 –> 00:48:35,880
\ncouple of minutes.
\nThere’s a couple other things <\/p>\n
872
\n00:48:35,880 –> 00:48:38,960
\nthat I would like to mention.
\nWe’ve already recognized that <\/p>\n
873
\n00:48:38,960 –> 00:48:41,560
\nJob was typical of Yahweh’s
\nsuffering servant. <\/p>\n
874
\n00:48:42,440 –> 00:48:46,200
\nHe would therefore be typical of
\nthe bridegroom, which of course <\/p>\n
875
\n00:48:46,200 –> 00:48:49,880
\nis what Christ is referred to
\nand the Church is referred to as<\/p>\n
876
\n00:48:49,880 –> 00:48:52,560
\nHis bride.
\nIf this be the case, we would <\/p>\n
877
\n00:48:52,560 –> 00:48:56,040
\nlook at Job’s daughters and say.
\nHow are they? <\/p>\n
878
\n00:48:56,760 –> 00:49:00,200
\nRepresentative of the Ecclesia.
\nAnd I think there may be two <\/p>\n
879
\n00:49:00,200 –> 00:49:03,480
\nways that we may find them
\ntypical of the Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
880
\n00:49:04,160 –> 00:49:08,040
\nWe find that they could be
\ntypical in innocence, in <\/p>\n
881
\n00:49:08,040 –> 00:49:11,520
\nfragrance, and in beauty.
\nWhich are the meaning of these <\/p>\n
882
\n00:49:11,520 –> 00:49:13,720
\nthree names and of?
\nCourse that is. <\/p>\n
883
\n00:49:13,920 –> 00:49:16,960
\nTypical of Christ’s Church,
\nChrist’s bride is Ecclesia. <\/p>\n
884
\n00:49:17,560 –> 00:49:21,800
\nAnd by the same token, they may
\nalso represent 3 distinct <\/p>\n
885
\n00:49:21,960 –> 00:49:26,360
\ndispensations, The patriarchal
\nthat that existed before the <\/p>\n
886
\n00:49:26,360 –> 00:49:29,640
\ngiving of the Law of Moses, and
\nthen of course the Mosaic. <\/p>\n
887
\n00:49:30,520 –> 00:49:33,840
\nAnd finally the Christian era of
\nwhich we’re apart. <\/p>\n
888
\n00:49:34,400 –> 00:49:37,920
\nAnd so here we find that these
\nthree daughters of Job may be <\/p>\n
889
\n00:49:37,920 –> 00:49:41,480
\nvery, very typical of the
\nEcclesia of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n
890
\n00:49:41,480 –> 00:49:45,360
\nChrist.
\nI think perhaps we’ve realized <\/p>\n
891
\n00:49:45,360 –> 00:49:49,200
\nin our studies this week that we
\nhave not by any means exhausted <\/p>\n
892
\n00:49:49,560 –> 00:49:51,840
\nand perhaps hardly even
\nscratched the surface of the <\/p>\n
893
\n00:49:51,840 –> 00:49:54,840
\nBook of Job.
\nBut I think perhaps we realize <\/p>\n
894
\n00:49:54,840 –> 00:49:57,840
\nthat it’s not such an obscure
\nand difficult book after all. <\/p>\n
895
\n00:49:58,400 –> 00:50:01,480
\nI hope that’s the case.
\nAnd I hope that what these <\/p>\n
896
\n00:50:01,480 –> 00:50:04,920
\nlessons have done is not only
\nenhanced our appreciation for <\/p>\n
897
\n00:50:04,920 –> 00:50:08,280
\nthis very beautiful Book of Job,
\nbut I hope it’s instilled within<\/p>\n
898
\n00:50:08,280 –> 00:50:11,320
\nus a desire to do a little bit
\nfurther study and to do a little<\/p>\n
899
\n00:50:11,320 –> 00:50:13,120
\nbit more than just scratch the
\nsurface. <\/p>\n
900
\n00:50:13,520 –> 00:50:17,040
\nBut to try to grasp the very
\nbeautiful things that the Lord <\/p>\n
901
\n00:50:17,040 –> 00:50:19,760
\nhas inspired to be written and
\nrecorded and preserved for us <\/p>\n
902
\n00:50:20,040 –> 00:50:21,640
\nhere in this wonderful Book of
\nJob. <\/p>\n
903
\n00:50:22,240 –> 00:50:25,560
\nThat indeed our lives may be
\nbetter prepared for the time <\/p>\n
904
\n00:50:25,560 –> 00:50:28,440
\nwhen we also shall stand before
\nthe Son of Man.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
