DANIEL CHAPTER ONE

[JLG]

- Romans 8:14: Those are the Sons of God!

- Romans 8:15: The Adoption of Sons!

- Romans 8:16: We are The Sons of God!

- Romans 8:17: The Heirs of God and The Sons of The Inheritance of Yeshua, the Anointed One!

- Romans 8:23: The first-fruits of the Spirit and we are looking for The adoption of The Sons and for The redemption of our bodies!

- The Sons of God!

- The Adoption of Sons!

- The Heirs of God!

- The Sons of The inheritance of Yeshua, the Anointed One!

- The first-fruits of the Spirit!

- The redemption of our bodies!

- It doesn’t come from nowhere!

- It implies ACTION!

- A God of ACTION implies men of ACTION!

- If there are first-fruits, it implies second-fruits!

- And the Redemption of our bodies!

- Here is the definition of redemption!

- The action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil!

- The action of regaining or gaining possession of something in exchange for payment, or clearing a debt!

- The idea of regaining or gaining possession of something is interesting to think about!

- REGAINING OR GAINING POSSESSION!

- A LONG PROCESS!

- AND THERE IS SHORT TIME LEFT!

 

[JLG]

1 Corinthians 8:1

1 But, concerning the sacrifices of idols, we know that there is knowledge in all things; and knowledge puffs up, but Khuba {Love} builds up.

- Thus knowledge puffs up!

- But Love builds up!

- Definition of puff up:

- to swell or cause to enlarge, "Her faced puffed up from the drugs" synonyms: blow up, puff, puff out. intumesce, swell, swell up, tumefy, tumesce. expand abnormally.

- Expand abnormally!

- Interesting!

- The more we learn, the more we want to learn!

- Exponential or an extremely rapid increase!

- And the less we learn, the less we want to learn!

- It happened to the Hebrews and they paid a high price for that!

- It has been the same for mankind and it will be so till the end!

- The problem is that Yah.weh is The God of knowledge!

- If we want to follow him, there is only one way: the way of knowledge!

 

[JLG]

- Thus knowledge puffs up!

- Knowledge is good when we want to learn!

- But usually it doesn’t work with men!

- When people get to know more, they think that they are better than the others!

- Thus knowledge without humility is good to nothing!

- I should have added the way of knowledge with humility!

- The way of knowledge with pride leads nowhere, certainly not towards Yah.weh!

[JLG]

The Book of Job


- It’s incredible to think when two essential elements miss the consequences it 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 Yah.weh concerning Job should allow us to understand Job's attitude!

- THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH!

- It is probably because faithfulness 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 loyalty to all of us!

- But if Yah.weh does not do it, what right can we afford to do it?

- Nowhere in the Bible do we find 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 unfaithfulness is the rule everywhere, we seek to condemn faithfulness!

- Find the error!

- It only shows how far we are from Yah.weh!

- And we keep going away from Yah.weh!

- And we are going faster and faster!

- How we need his guidance!

- It is a question of survival!

- To find our roots!

 

[JLG]

THE BOOK OF JOB

Remember:

- He is the only man of whom Yah·weh said: there is no one like him on earth!

- No man has faced such a trial!

- He is an example of faithfulness!

- He lost everything!

- Yah.weh gave him back everything!

- He proved the devil is a liar!

- When we feel depressed, we may find comfort through the pages of his book!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job


Job 1:20-22

- Job’s world has collapsed, everything he knows has gone away from him!

- Think about losing everything the same day!

- How would you react?

- Forget your past, now it’s time to start from nothing!

- And Job accuses no one, on the contrary!

- BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!

- EVERYBODY HAS HEARD JOB’S WORDS!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 2:2,3

- Here we have the testimony of God about Job!

- IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH OR NOT?

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 2:9,10

- Once again Job has lost everything, even his health, the only thing left is his life and he keeps maintaining his integrity and his faithfulness to God, he doesn’t follow his wife as Adam did and Adam was perfect!

- So think about that too!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job


Job 2: Then we get the three “individuals” who come to Job:

When they see him from a distance, they don’t recognize him!


- Think about that: they can’t even recognize him so imagine his physical condition!


- And I’m not speaking about his mental condition!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job


Job 3:1-3


- Job he curses the day of his birth so it means it would be better for him not to be born!

- When you say that it means you are desperate, you have no more hope, you don’t see any option, no survival, the only way to escape is death!

- IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job


Job 3:4-26


- Job has lost everything, even his health and he is rejected by everybody, three individuals come to him to destroy him mentally! At first, they appear to be willing to help him but they do the contrary!

- His wife tells him to curse God and die but he curses the day he was born: when a situation is unbearable, when you can’t accept it, people want to die!


- Sometimes you can’t find words to express what you feel, Job can and it is to express his bad feelings!


- Job wants to escape the stressful situation!

- But there is no refuge, no help!

- Only death to be undisturbed and sleeping and at rest and no more agitation as Jesus says in the Gospels!

- But Job doesn’t understand why God lets people live and suffer!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:2

- anguish: severe mental or physical pain or suffering.

- grief: intense sorrow, especially caused by someone's death.

- Job is able to express what he feels with words and especially one which is « anguish or grief »!

- And he clearly connects his mental health with what has just happened in his life !

- And we must add the words : “fully weighted, put on scales, thoroughly, laid in the balances” which insist on the intensity of his stress!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:3

- This is an important verse to understand how Job reacts: Job says he feels really bad, the image he uses is quite clear “it is heavier than the sands of the seas and he compares his words to wild talk or my words have been rash. He is in such a mental condition that his words may go out of control or further than what he wants to say!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:4


- Of course, we are not Job, we are not the one about whom God says there is no one like him on earth. We know that Adam had a close relationship with God but he lost it, we know that Job had a close relationship with God, a special one and he kept it. But because of Satan this relationship was momentarily disturbed so Job was not feeling bad only because he lost everything but also because of this disruption which was unbearable for him! Just imagine what was the most important, the most precious for him! Any disruption must have been destructive and maybe if our relationship with God is really strong, we may understand that or maybe not! When it fills your day and your thoughts, how is it possible to do it without? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! It depends on the quality of our relationship with God!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:5,6

- Think about a faithful one: how is it possible for him to live only one day away from God? Now think about Job in Job 6 and how he feels!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:8-10

- RESPECT! INCREDIBLE WORDS! UNBELIEVABLE!


- How is it possible? Job is in such a bad situation and he asks God for the favor to die: “I WOULD LEAP FOR JOY DESPITE THE UNRELENTING PAIN.”

- Do you notice what Job says right now?

“FOR I HAVE NOT DENIED THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY ONE.”

- IS THAT CLEAR AGAIN? FOR ME IT IS!


- Job wants to die, he doesn’t speak about committing suicide, he begs God to make him die like a favor, just to be in peace, in rest. Think about the last line:

FOR I HAVE NOT DENIED THE SAYINGS OF THE HOLY ONE

- Can you hear the chorus:

THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH

THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH

THERE IS NO ONE LIKE HIM ON EARTH

- Job is true to his faith in God!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:11

- Is that not DESPERATION? When you don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel?

- It seems to be Job is in front of us, we see how he feels at any time right now and then, he is talking to us and telling us his deepest feelings and his pain and suffering and everything which goes through his mind!

- It is the same for us when we don’t know what comes next, it is as if we were watching us, being our own spectator!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:12,13

- There is nothing from Job!

- He thinks he is nobody!

- He thinks he is helpless!

- He thinks he is reduced to nothing!

- Job knows he is but a human being with human weakness!

- And he knows he is left alone with nothing, no hope, no way to escape!

- Is that the end of the way?

- We may think the same in some difficult situations!

 

[JLG]

Looking for Job

Job 6:14

- Job would never do that!

- he is the ESSENCE OF LOYAL LOVE!

- The POSITIVE FEAR OF THE ALMIGHTY RUNS THROUGH HIS BLOOD!
