Job 2
Book of Job
Remember, We have 38 chapters of man telling Joe he has done something wrong,
Job's three friends are false teachers.
We know from chapters 1 and 2; It's Satan doing all this to Job. Here's we see
how man will deceive you.
Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh
his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves
before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the
Lord.
2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the
Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down
in it.
3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there
is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth
God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou
movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea,
all that a man hath will he give for his life.
5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will
curse thee to thy face.
6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and
smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the
ashes.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse
God, and die.
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh.
What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?
In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him,
they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the
Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to
come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
-
Joe's three friends = Eliphaz From Teman,
which is connected with Esau and Edom = Russia
-
Eliphaz = From Teman, which is connected
with Esau and Edom. Temanites famed for wisdom.
He argued from the standpoint of human
experience.
-
Bildad = Probably descended from Shuah, youngest
son of Keturah by Abraham. Settled east of
Palestine He argued from human tradition.
-
Zophar = Probably from Naamah, southern frontier
of Judah. He argued from the ground of human
merit.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up
their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust
upon their heads toward heaven.
-
Their sorrow = Symbolical
13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and
none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
