Job 14
But a man dies and lies powerless;
When a human expires, where is he?
- When someone dies believing in God, he can have hope through resurrection!
- But it is necessary to build up this hope like a rock or a mountain!
- Something solid we can hold onto!
- But it is hard work!
- That’s why we need to study personally and dig deeply!
- We must learn how to do it!
- It is not easy because this world is superficial!
- And knowledge is a perpetual movement!
- A never ending trip!
- On the contrary superficiality is easy!
- You don’t need any effort!
- But you go nowhere!
- And thus you can’t build a relationship with God!
- No way!

Job 16
God hands me over to young boys,
And he thrusts me into the hands of the
wicked.
I was untroubled, but he shattered me;
He grabbed me by the back of the neck and
crushed me;
Then he sets me up as his target.
- Yes, the devil is doing that!
- And he always tries to find the best ways to strike Job!
- He used a progression!
- And he has a lot of experience for that!
- we are like lab rats for him!
- Which means nothing!
- But he is jealous of God when people worship him!
- And he wants the maximum people to follow him!

Job 17
However, you may all come and resume your
arguing,
For I have not found anyone wise among you.
- What a fighting spirit!
- Job is down mentally and physically!
- But he keeps fighting!
- And he tells his opponents that they are not wise!
- They can say whatever they want!
- It won’t change anything!
- Their speeches are empty talks!
- And for him, it is an obligation to tell it to them again and again!
- he has nothing to lose nothing to win!

Job 19
His troops come together and besiege me,
And they camp around my tent.
My own brothers he has driven far away from
me,
And those who know me have turned away
from me.
My close companions are gone,
And those whom I knew well have forgotten
me.
Guests in my house and my slave girls consider
me a stranger;
I am a foreigner in their eyes.
I call for my servant, but he does not respond;
With my mouth I beg him for compassion.
My very breath has become loathsome to mu
wife,
And I am a stench to my own brothers.
Even young children despise me;
When I rise up, they begin jeering at me.
All my close friends detest me,
And those whom I loved have turned against
me.
My bones stick to my skin and my flesh,
And I escape with the skin of my teeth.
- Is it possible to be more VICIOUS!
- The devil has been closing all the doors, one after one!
- Enjoying himself when closing each one!
- Enjoying each blow!
- And leaving some hope to Job before taking it away!
- And repeating the action again and again!

Job 23
Would he contend with me using his great power?
No, surely he would give me a hearing.
There the upright one could set matters straight with him,
And I would be acquitted once and for all by my Judge.
- Job knows his relationship to God!
- That’s why he is sure that God would listen to him!
- He knows thet God won’t condemn him!
- Job has always thought that way!
- And he is not going to change !

Job 24
They spend the night naked, without clothing;
They have no covering for the cold.
They are drenched by the mountain rains;
They cling to the rocks for lack of shelter.
The fatherless child is snatched away from the breast;
And the garments of the poor are taken as security for a loan,
Forcing them to go about naked, without clothing,
And hungry, as they carry the sheaves of grain.
- There is a lot of misery in the world!
- There are wars!
- Diseases!
- The list is long!
- Science was supposed to solve all the problems!
- But is it really different?
- Violence, crimes!
- We are more numerous on earth!
- And we bring more trouble!
- We are consuming all resources faster and faster!
- We poison the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat!
- Species disappear faster and faster!
- Do we want to stay alone on earth!
- We need so many things yet we destroy them!

Looking for Job
Job 28
But wisdom—where can it be found,
And where is the source of understanding?
No man recognizes its value,
And it cannot be found in the land of the living.
The deep waters say, ‘It is not in me!’
And the sea says, ‘It is not with me!’
It cannot be bought with pure gold;
Nor can silver be weighed out in exchange for it.
It cannot be bought with gold of Ophir
Nor with rare onyx and sapphire.
Gold and glass cannot be compared to it;
Nor can a vessel of fine gold be exchanged for it.
Coral and crystal are not worthy of mention,
For a bagful of wisdom is worth more than one full of pearls.
The topaz of Cush cannot be compared to it;
It cannot be purchased even with pure gold.
- Wisdom is another story!
- Man doesn’t care about wisdom!
- Man cares about material wealth!
- Too different!
- That’s why we are where we are!
- Man only knows what is superficial!
- The problem is man can’t buy wisdom!
- And the problem is that it’s worth much more than material wealth!
- Get away from this old world of Chaos and prepare for the New World!
- don’t do like the Israelites who stayed in the old world and died!

Looking for Job
Job 31
If my footsteps deviate from the way
Or my heart has followed after my eyes
Or my hands have been defiled,
Then let me sow seed and someone else eat,
And let what I plant be uprooted.
If my heart has been enticed by a woman
And I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,
Then let my wife grind grain for another man,
And let other men have sexual relations with her.
For that would be shameful conduct,
An error deserving punishment by the judges.
It would be a fire that would devour and destroy,
Consuming even the roots of all my produce.
- Then Job makes a list of all his actions!
- He wants to know what he has done wrong!
- Then he will accept the punishment!
- He is a man of justice!
- He is an upright man as God says!
- So if God says it, it means a lot about Job!
- That’s why we should be careful when we speak about Job!
- Get away from this old world of Chaos and prepare for the New World!
- don’t do like the Israelites who stayed in the old world and died!

God and Job / Job and God
Job 1:
- God let the devil strike Job to show to everybody his faithfulness to God whatever may happen!
- Then the devil takes everything from Job even his children!
- What is Job’s reaction:
“Naked I came out of my mother’s womb,
And naked I will return.
God has given, and God has taken away.
Let the name of God continue to be praised.”
In all of this, Job did not sin or accuse God of doing anything wrong.
- Now I repeat for those who still don’t get the point:
- The only reference of Job is God, nothing else!
- HE ONLY KNOWS GOD!
- He used to live before or at the time of Abraham!
- He didn’t have any book, any part of the Bible!
- Get away from this old world of Chaos and prepare for the New World!
- don’t do like the Israelites who stayed in the old world and died!
