Job 24
Book of Job
Job 24:1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know
him not see his days?
-
Times = Put by for the events which take place
in them.
-
See = perceive, or understand.
-
Days = For His doings in them: visitation, or
judgment
-
Job 18:20 They that come after him
shall be astonied at his day, as they that went
before were affrighted.
-
Psalm 37:13 The Lord shall laugh at him:
for he seeth that his day is coming.
-
Psalm 37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword,
and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor
and needy, and to slay such as be of
upright conversation.
2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
-
Some = the lawless men, whose various
crimes are detailed in the following verses.
-
Remove the landmarks = They remove God's
Commandments
-
Landmarks = they remove God's Commandments
= By false teaching
-
Feeds = With false teaching = with lies = to
lead you right to Satan
-
Deuteronomy 19:14 Thou shalt not remove
thy neighbor's landmark, which they of old time
have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt
inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth
thee to possess it.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a
pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves
together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising
betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their
children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the
wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in
the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want
of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf
from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer
thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet
God layeth not folly to them.
13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways
thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the
night is as a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall
see me: and disguiseth his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in
the daytime: they know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them,
they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth
not the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have
sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no
more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the
widow.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure
of life.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are
upon their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are
taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing
worth?
• 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)

his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
