JOB
Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author
So many misunderstand the book of Job, mostly because of a few verses.
Job 2
Job 2 (Literal translation)
3.
|0559| And said
|3068| Yahweh
|0000| to
|7854| Satan,
|7760| Have you set
|3824| your heart
|0000| on
|5650| My servant
|0347| Job?
|3588| For
|0369| not is {any}
|0000| like him
|0776| in the earth,
|0376| a man
|8535| perfect
|3477| and upright,
|3373| revering
|0430| God
|5186| and turning away
|7451| from wrong.
|5750| And he still is
|2388| holding on
|8538| to his integrity,
|5496| although you incited Me
|0000| against him,
|0006| to destroy him
|2600| for nothing.
God was not pointing Job out to Satan, and in 1612 AD when the King James version was translated, they read it like a question, God questioning Satan what he was doing to Job.
Job allowed fear in over his children
Job 1
Fear his children were sinning and this gave Satan a way in and prevented God from helping Job.
So, for the most part of Job we hear how he lost all he had and was sitting with sores all over him, suffering and in pain. His wife and 3 best friends said "Just curse God, so you can die". Hence, Job believed his only way out of this trouble was death. Think about it, have you ever thought death would be the answer to all of your problems. But the only way Job could die was to curse God, and Job would not do that.
By the last 2 chapters we see that Job finally listens to God and stops listening to others. God tells him to pray for those 3 friends. In doing so it gave God a chance to work on them and help them and caused a way to bless Job.
So Job got back all he had lost, double.
Points of Interest
So, when we enter into fear we need to rebuke it, and always be sure to pray for everyone, especially our enemies.
God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
