Looking for Job

Job 19
And if indeed I made a mistake,
My error remains with me.
If you insist on exalting yourselves over me,
Claiming that the reproach against me is
justified,
Know, then, that it is God who has misled me,
And he has caught me in his hunting net.

- “If you insist on exalting yourselves over me”!

- Is that not EMPTY WORDS!

- It reminds me of the religious leaders!

- But if you don’t give PROPER ARGUMENTS, it is just EMPTY WORDS!

- Job is clear about that!

- They can’t expect him let them say EMPTY WORDS without fighting back!

- It’s the same for us: we can’ let people say EMPTY WORDS without fighting back!

- And he knows he has been mislead not by God but by the devil who has caught him in his hunting net!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- 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 21
But I know that they do not control their own prosperity.
The thinking of the wicked is far from me.
How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished?
How often does disaster come upon them?
How often does God deal out destruction to them in his anger?
Do they ever become like straw before the wind
And like chaff that a storm wind carries away?

- We see many questions from Job!

- He is perplexed!

- He is lost because of his personal situation!

- He had a normal life!

- And now everything is upside down and he doesn’t know why!

- Who wouldn’t feel the same in such a situation!

- Especially when you feel alone!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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 23
That is why I am anxious because of him;
When I think about him, my fear grows.
God has made me fainthearted,
And the Almighty has made me afraid.

- Yes, Job is anxious!

- But it is because of the devil!

- Yes, his fear grows!

- But it is because of the devil!

- Yes, he is fainthearted!

- But it is because of the devil!

- Yes, the devil has made him afraid!

- The devil has a lot of responsibility!

- And he keeps working hard!

- To help people opposing God!

- And destroying the relationship between God and Job!

- And destroying the relationship between God and us!

- And the stronger the better like in the case of 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!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking for Job

Job 27
It is unthinkable for me to declare you men righteous!
Until I die, I will not renounce my integrity!
I will maintain my righteousness and never let it go
My heart will not condemn me as long as I live.
May my enemy become like the wicked, Those assaulting me like the
unrighteous.

- Job knows why the three individuals are there!

- They can say whatever they want!

- They won’t succeed!

- Job will stay faithful to God!

- It is more precious than anything else!

- And he has not done anything wrong!

- He knows people are trying to destroy him!

- To destroy the relationship he has with God!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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 30

“Now they laugh at me
—Men younger than I am,
Whose fathers I would have refused
To put with the dogs that guarded my flock.
Of what use was the power of their hands to me?
Their vigor has perished.
They are worn out from want and hunger;
They gnaw at the parched ground
That was already ruined and desolated.
They gather the salt herb from the bushes;
Their food is the root of broom trees.
They are driven out of the community;
People shout at them as they would at a thief.
They live on the slopes of ravines,
In holes in the ground and in the rocks.
From the bushes they cry out
And huddle together among the nettles.
As sons of the senseless and the nameless ones,
They have been driven out of the land.
But now they mock me even in their songs;
I have become an object of scorn to them.
They detest me and keep their distance from me;
They do not hesitate to spit in my face.
Because God has disarmed me and humbled me,
They throw off all restraint in my presence.
On my right they rise up like a mob;
They put me to flight
And put up barriers of destruction in my path.
They tear up my roadways
And make my calamity worse,
Without anyone to stop them.
They come as if through a wide breach in the wall;
They roll in amid the devastation.

- He speaks about people who laugh at him!

- They are not in a better position!

- They spit in his face!

- They do everything they can to make his life worse!

- It is as if he had done no good!

- And he can’t defend himself and nobody will help him!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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 only someone would listen to me!
I would sign my name to what I have said.
Let the Almighty answer me!
- Job knows who he is and what he did and what he did not do!

- He knows the type of relationship he has with God and nobody will take it from him!

- Never!

- It is indestructible!

- Because it is built on rock!

If only my accuser had written out the charges in a document!
I would carry it on my shoulder,
And I would bind it around my head like a crown.
I would give him an accounting for every step I took;
I would approach him confidently, like a prince.

- He would never let anyone accuse him before God without defending himself!

- His relationship with God is too strong and unbreakable!

- He can’t live without it!
 
God and Job / Job and God

Job 3:

- Job can’t communicate with God anymore!

- And he is in big trouble!

- He has lost everything!

- So the first reflex is to die and rest!

- He doesn’t want to think anymore!

- His mind is dark!

- He has no hope!

- He feels lost without God’s presence!
 
God and Job / Job and God

Job 21:

- Job doesn’t lose patience because he complain to God and not to man!

- He tells them to shut their mouths!

- He thinks the wicked live in peace!

- He thinks God doesn’t punish them!

- They don’t care about God!

- But he still believes God will make them pay!

- Does he think the three individuals are wicked?

- Because they do everything to discourage him!

- But he is still confident in God!
