Jobs 32
Book of Job
Job 32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in
his own eyes.
2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the
kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself
rather than God.
3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found
no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then
his wrath was kindled.
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye
are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them
understanding.
9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye
searched out what to say.
12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced
Job, or that answered his words:
13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not
man.

God didn't do this to Job, Satan did
-
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God
came to present themselves before the Lord, and
Satan came also among them.
7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest
thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth,
and from walking up and down in it.
8 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?
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth
Job fear God for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and
about his house, and about all that he hath on
every side? thou hast blessed the work of his
hands, and his substance is increased in the
land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all
that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy
face.
12 And the Lord said unto Satan,
Behold, all that he hath is in thy
power; only upon himself put not forth
thine hand. So Satan went forth from the
presence of the Lord.
14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with
your speeches.
15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no
more;)
17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new
bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give
flattering titles unto man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon
take me away.
• 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)
