Job 23
Book of Job
Job 23:1 Then Job answered and said,
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would
say unto me.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength
in me.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever
from my judge.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive
him:
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth
himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth
as gold.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed
the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even
that he doeth.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things
are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the
darkness from my face.
• 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)
