23 | Why did Job love God? | Job | Thomass | 73392 | ||
Read the 9;12;19;23;26; and 42 chapters of Job, where he talks of declaration of God's greatness. In chapter 9,Job tells of God's awesome power and God's arbitrary power, In chapter 12, Job tells of God's wisdom and power. In chapter 19, Job speaks of the certainty of seeing God one day. In chapter 26, Job speaks of God's majesty in nature. And when you think about it, how can you not love one that has bought you into existence, has substained you through out, and gives you his added protection. God had watched over him and blessed him.(10:12) Also God guided him through the darkness of difficulties, befriended him, and was with him. Job's experience billboards the truth that man's worship of God does not stem from a businesslike contract, whereby he earns material rewards from God. Man's relationship to God is not a juridical arrangement in which He is obligated to reward man for every good act. Instead, man is to trust God, worship Him regardless of his circumstances, and rely on the perfections of His character even when God's ways are not fully understood. Job realized that God is incharge, that God still loves him and cares for him. Job did not receive explanations regarding his problems; but he did come to a much deeper sense of the majesty and loving care of God. He came to trust God more fully, knowing that His ways should not be challenged. Though often inexplicable and mysterious, God's plans are benevolent and beneficial. | ||||||

25 | Who was Elihu? | Job | Thomass | 73376 | ||
Elihu viewed himself as an equal with Job for both, he said, were created by God. Elihu said he was made by God (the Holy Spirit is involved in creating man) and given life by the breath of the Almighty (Job 33:1-4). And Elihu was not condemned by God in 42:7-8 along with Elihaz and his two companions probably because Elihu was closer to the truth than were the other three. The bible just mentions Elihu as a young by-stander, who had listen to Job and his friends (Job 32). | ||||||
26 | Why did Job suffer? | Job | Thomass | 73375 | ||
Job was blameless and upright (not deviating from God's standards). Also he feared God (he revered and submitted to God's majesty) and he shunned evil. It just so happened that satan was roaming back and forth through the earth, looking for those whom he could accuse and dominate. The Lord spoke of Job by the honorable title my servant and referred to him as a supreme example of piety. "There is no one on earth like him". God pointed out that satan could not dominate Job. So satan responded by attacking Job's motives. Satan thought if Job were to lose his wealth and children that he would then curse God. So God allowed this to happen through his permissive will. When that didn't work, satan wanted to take Job's health from him. When it comes right down to it, there is nothing on earth that satan can do without the okay from God. So to answer your question: "It was a test to see if Job really loved and honored the Lord". As true Christians we will come across suffering in our lives, whether it be false persecution, health problems, etc., The devil only bothers those that live for the Lord and do his will here on earth. | ||||||

Many individiuals can identify with Job, whose distresses were agonizingly prolonged and so seeminly unfair. Many people wonder why they should undergo affliction, why they should experience tragedy, heartache, and adversity. for anyone, suffering is hard to comprehend, but especially so when it strikes the undeserving, The Book of Job address the mystery of unmerited misery, showing that in adversity God may have other purposes besides retribution for wrong doing. You also have to ask the question: If I'm never put to the test, then how can I have a testimony? | ||||||

According to Jewish tradition, his latter years (140) were exactly twice the number of his former ones (70).

29 | Where is the land of Moriah today? | 2 Kings | Thomass | 73234 | ||
Mount Moriah (pronounced in Hebrew as moe-ree-yaw) in Jerusalem, now popularly known as the Temple Mount, has been a focal point of Bible History right from very early times. It was the place where Abraham nearly sacrificed Isaac. It was the place where Solomon built the original Temple of God. It was the location of many of the events during the ministry of Jesus Christ, with the scene of His arrest on The Mount Of Olives on The Fateful Night just to the east, and His Crucifixion at Calvary just to the north. And there is much more set to happen there. Today, Mount Moriah is under Muslim control. The gold-topped Dome Of The Rock is the most famous present-day sight atop the Temple Mount, while Jews pray below at The Western Wall. |
