Job 5
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 5:1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the
saints wilt thou turn?
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is
there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and
the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring
out of the ground;
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to
safety.
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot
perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is
carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the
night.
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of
the mighty.
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the
chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil
touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the
sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be
afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of
the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of
the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt
visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the
grass of the earth.
-
Job just lost all that he had, why would this
man be saying this?
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in
in his season.
-
Joe was a better man than any of his three
friends, why would Joe be listening to these
men.
-
Joe never said anything against God.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy
good.

We know all this does not come from God, but
this is from man words
• 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)
