    Who is Elihu?

    I am afraid that poetry would be just a rabbit hole. You have not stated how poetry affects the meaning of the words in this book. In the first test it was God and not Job that stated Job had retained his integrity. In the second test it was Job that implied that he retained his integrity...

    Who is Elihu?

    "Without cause"-----You are taking this statement out of context. Satan said, Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. The Hebrew says, "and he will bless not you to your face". This was not God's cause, but rather Satan's cause...

    Who is Elihu?

    Yes, I learned how the scripture was written. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: You seem to be avoiding the hard questions, like, when did Job lose his integrity? Or why did God...

    Who is Elihu?

    Injecting poetry can easily lead down a rabbit trail. Does your definition of poetry in the bible include poetic license? The only parallel we see here is in the actual presentation of the two tests. No, Job did not pass the second test, because he did not bless God after the second test as he...

    Behemoths and Leviathans?

    Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. Eze 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God...

    Could you define poetry as it relates to the bible?

    Behemoths and Leviathans?

    Leviathan was in the garden. Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. We see in the book of Job a whole chapter that is devoted to...

    Who is Elihu?

    Unless you lay the two tests out together you will miss it. THE TWO TESTS OF JOB Job had two tests. Whenever you take a test, you get scored on that test. In the reading of the first and second chapters of Job we are caught up with the anguish and torment of Job, and in the process we are...

    Who is Elihu?

    Yes, I noticed that they included curse in the definitions of "barak". Of the 300 plus times that barak is translated into English only four times is it translated curse, and one of those times we can observe the Hebrew word "lo" meaning "not" from which we get bless not, or if you will to...

    Who is Elihu?

    Does "not true" mean false? Is there any occasion where true actually means false without a negative?(he will curse H1288➔ H3808) Where is the correlation? There is no changing of the meaning of "barak". The man did not curse him in the morning. I don't know why. I do know that "not true"...

    What is your view of Ezekiel's Temple?

    I am sorry but I did not see any proof. There were no details, only a general statement. I do not see Ezekiel's temple as a heavenly temple, but rather an earthly one. One that the actual sons of Zadok were in charge of.

    Who is Elihu?

    The Hebrew word "barak" does not mean to curse any more than good means evil, or light means dark, or cold means hot. The only time "barak" means curse is when there is a negative connotation, such as bless not. When you say it is not good, the connotation is that it is evil. Hot never means...

    What is your view of Ezekiel's Temple?

    Not kidding. Solomon's porch was to be rebuilt. The dimensions when Solomon first built it was a length of twenty cubits and a breadth of 10 cubits. When it was rebuilt, according to the Talmud, it was 20 cubits by 11 cubits, which was the same as Ezekiel's dimensions. How do you explain the...

    What is your view of Ezekiel's Temple?

    What is your proof that the second temple was not built to Ezekiel's specs. According to the Talmud both the Altar and Solomon's porch where to Ezekiel's specs. What is more telling is the fact that Zadok's sons were in charge of the second temple just as Ezekiel stated four times. There is no...

    What is your view of Ezekiel's Temple?

    It was the second temple. The sons of Zadok were to be overseers, and they were. The Talmud also has the same dimensions for the altar and Solomen's temple.

    Who is Elihu?

    You are missing so much here. You need to lay out the two tests side by side and see what is different. The lines of the two tests are identical, except for what is actually different. First consider what Satan's challenge was. It was not that Job would start calling God names, but that Job...

    Who is Elihu?

    Six myths that people believe that prevent them from understanding the book of Job. 1. That Job has salvation because God said Job was blameless and upright at a particular time. 2. That Satan was wrong both times about Job. 3. That the three friends said something wrong about God. 4. That...

    Who is Elihu?

    When you say Job has a relationship with God are you implying that Job is saved from the beginning? Job asked, Job 9:2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? Job asked who is God, Job 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the...
