Looking for Job

God and Job / Job and God

Job 7:

- Man’s life is nothing!

- Job keeps being ill!

- He has no more life!

- No hope!

- His life is windy!

- No more happiness!

- He can only complain!

- About the anguish of his spirit!

- About his bitter distress!

- He makes nightmares!

- He has no more communication with God!

- He only thinks God is looking for his errors!

- Only DARKNESS!

- No light!

- Today darkness is spreading everywhere!

- We can look at it but if we only think about it, it will completely invade our minds!

- Hope is necessary!

- The possibility to think about Yah.weh changing everything and leading his faithful servants to the new promised land!

- We must look at it and concentrate on it!

- When we keep it in mind all the time, it doesn’t matter what we do, we can find energy!

- But we need to fuel this hope by reading and studying and speaking about the Bible and Yah.weh!

- It must keep being alive!

Job 9:

- Job says that God is everything!

- MIGHT!

- WISDOM!

- He can do whatever he wants with his creation!

- Man is nothing compared to him!

- When Job speaks to God, HE MUST CHOOSE CAREFULLY HIS WORDS TO ARGUE WITH HIM!

- “If I call out to him, will he answer me?”

- He thinks God is striking him!

- But Job keeps talking about his INTEGRITY!

- Yes, he tries to speak to God but there is no answer!

- AND JOB FEELS EMPTY!

- Yes, when Job speaks to Yah.weh, HE MUST CHOOSE CAREFULLY HIS WORDS TO ARGUE WITH HIM!

- Does it speak to you?

- Job has a deep personal relationship with Yah.weh and he knows him well!

- But he always shows him respect!

- Now think about the relationship between parents and children!

- And in particular a father and his children!

- They can have a deep personal relationship!

- But the father will always be the father of his children!

- So they must always show him respect!

- Today there is a problem with respect!

- Children often don’t respect their parents!

- And their parents don’t pay attention or don’t care!

- It will never work with Yah.weh!

- Yah.weh will never accept disrespect!

- The problem is that men often show disrespect to Yah.weh!

- Many Hebrews died for that!

- Many were saved by Moses for a time but at the end they died in the desert, they died at the destruction of Jerusalem!

- In fact, today we find disrespect everywhere!

- That’s why we get into big trouble!

- And it will keep growing!

- What about us?

- Do we show disrespect to Yah.weh?

Job 10:

- He loathes his life!

- He wants to vent his complaints!

- He wants to speak out in his bitter distress!

- He thinks God is against him and he doesn’t understand why!

- He speaks about dishonor and affliction!

- Yes, he keeps calling for God!

- And he will keep doing it!

- There is no other way for him!

- When we read about the faithful servants of Yah.weh in the Bible, we can see a deep personal relationship with Yah.weh and an incredible communication!

- It should encourage us to constantly develop and improve our relationship and communication with Yah.weh!

- We should constantly question the quality of this relationship and communication!

- We should never forget that Moses was the only one who could prevent on different occasions from eradicating the Hebrews!

- But an individual can’t prevent bad people from paying the consequences of their bad attitudes and the Hebrews were destroyed!

- Same will happen to the majority of mankind!

- But it has always been so!

- Why should it change!

Job 12:

- Yes, he is calling to God for an answer!

- Yes, God is wisdom and might!

- He can do anything!

- He can destroy anyone!

- YES, HE DOESN’T GET ANY ANSWER!

- And for him, it is unbearable!

- Because he is not used to it!

- For him, it is unnatural and unacceptable!

- UNNATURAL AND UNACCEPTABLE!

- Thinking about our personal relationship with Yah.weh!

- Calling for Yah.weh!

- Yes, we want to!

- I want to see through the darkness of this empty world!

- When I look at the relationship between the faithful servants of Yah.weh and Yah.weh, I want to investigate such a relationship!

- I have never had enough!

- I want this communication channel!

- I have never had enough to prepare for this new society!

- Because preparing means making it clearer!

- Making the way clearer!

- Staying the course!

- Sharpening your mind!

- Getting away from this world of uncertainty!

1)

- Let's think!

- Adam had a personal relationship with Yah.weh!

- We can talk by word of mouth!

- Why did he lose this special relationship?

- Why after having disobeyed Yah.weh, did he seek to hide from him?

 

[JLG]

2)

Because God would be very angry and not forgive Adam, if there was a relationship, they would also open up situations in which he was disobedient, so God should not have ended the relationship just because of what Adam did. I don't know the truth and how bad what Adam did was.

But I guess Adam knew it was something serious, he did it, and maybe it wasn't the right thing to do, I guess the relationship ended because Adam was no longer guided by God.

3)

- Excellent!

- This is the basis of the Bible!

- To study the Bible effectively, that is to say, to understand it, we must put ourselves in the context and forget our personal situation as modern humans!

 

[JLG]

4)

- Adam had something exceptional that we no longer have but that it will be possible to obtain again in the future!

- He was perfect, we are imperfect!

 

[JLG]

5)

- Yah.weh had given him perfection and with a particular context!

- He, his wife and his descendants could have lived forever!

- He lived in exceptional conditions, namely in a paradise!

 

[JLG]

6)

- Eternal youth!

- There was no question of growing old!

- No diseases!

 

[JLG]

7)

- There was no need to dress, which meant the weather was phenomenal!

 

[JLG]

8)

- He didn't need to work, the vegetation gave him the food he needed!

 

[JLG]

9)

- He had an exceptional relationship with his creator!

 

[JLG]

10)

- Yah.weh had given him a woman who suited him perfectly!

 

[JLG]

11)

- He could do whatever he wanted!

 

[JLG]

12)

- And what did Yah.weh ask in return?

 

[JLG]

13)

- Recognize his authority, his sovereignty, worship him!

 

[JLG]

14)

- Which was symbolized by the absolute prohibition against eating the fruit of a particular tree!

- He could eat all the fruits of the Garden of Eden except one!

 

[JLG]

15)

- How difficult it was to respect!

- We must not take people for fools!

- That's what humans generally do!

- Their great specialty is making fun of Yah.weh like Adam!

 

[JLG]

16)

- And then they complain that they pay the consequences!
