Discuss Job 1 Page 9

@Chuck No Lavonne is correct!!!! I am not a seventh day adventist or a
jehovah witness and I believe what she said.Lazurus was a parable there are a lot of those in the Bible.There will be only one judgement day at the end so till then we will sleep with our fathers just like everyone else.Think about it you cant go on to Heaven till judgement day.I had prayed to God and he revealed this to me.

lavonne you are dead wrong you must be either a seventh day adventist or a
jehovah witness we have a body , soul and spirit just like the GOD HEAD
1ST JOHN5-7, COL 2-9, THE BIBLE SAYS TO BE ABSENT IN THE BODY
IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD, READ THE RICH MAN AND LAZURUS IN
LUKE 16, THERE IS A HEAVEN OR HELL AFTER DEATH IS THE JUDGEMENT
HEB 9-27

Job is a very awesome story of the bible. It tells me that God is always in control.

I remember in the early part of my salvation,I told GOD I want to be like JOB;and at that time I was thinking about the blessings;i later learned the importance of trials,and after 36 years I got my original testimony:I want to be like JOB.

God viewed Job as an upright and righteous man because he had fear or a deep reverence and fear of displeasing God. Job shunned what was bad. If we imitate Job, we can be viewed in the same way by Jehovah God.

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.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the

Job is the excellent example for mankind,to learn from the only existing being is God. Everything belongs to God, we don't gain anything so we have nothing to loose, except our relationship with God. To keep that relationship takes patience and perseveration.And steadfast in prayers.

That is correct, 1 Thess ch 4 starting in v 13 lets us know that the "dead in Christ" are awaiting judgement day, and that also.... there will not be a 1000 yr reign on earth by Christ as most worldly religion teaches. We will meet him in the clouds, or air, and so shall we ever be with him. Also, 1 Samuel ch 28, v 19 lets us know that Samuel was not in heaven already, based on his remark to Saul.

Mark Edens, I thought this may be interesting for you. I just read a commentary about Job 1
Read Job 38:1-7. This expla
ins the "sons of God". This is at the beginning of creation, they are
created angels. I now believe Satan would not have been allowed in the third Heaven, where
God's throne is located. Where the four beasts are constantly saying HOLY,HOLY,HOLY.
Rev 4:8 and Satan is not.

Mark Scripture does not give the location as to where Satan was. I do not believe the saved
are already in Heaven. Eccl 9:5 The dead know nothing. Acts 2:34 David is not ascended into the Heavens, and David was the man after God's own heart. Acts 13:22. No man has ascended to Heaven Jn 3:13. I do believe we are sons of God as you have stated. Job 1, I do
know about these sons of God.

So, to get back to my original ?...where was this place when satan came with the "sons of God"? The sons of God are simply those of us who are saved. Rom 8:14, John 1:12, 1 John 3:1, and many more references.

Ezk ch 28 is talking about Tyrus. As we read God's word we find often that we have to cross reference to see what is actually being taught. Remember when Jesus walked among us he spoke often in parables. Also, in the book of Revelations for example, words of symbolism are used throughout this book. Rev, beginning in ch 6 we read of the white horse, the red horse and the pale horse.

Commenting to "Mark" reading Job 1
God created Lucifer, he was an anointed cherub that covered the throne of God Ezk:28:14
until iniquity (sin was found in him, he then became Satan.) To me sounds like he could have
been in Heaven, the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also. Satan had been roaming the earth. I agree there are three heavens, so we cannot be
sure.

God did not create Satan. The bible says in I John 3-8 that the devil sinneth from the beginning. And in John 8-44 that he was a murderer from the beginning. Also, he could not have been in the heaven that is considered the realm of God, if so, then there was sin in heaven! If it is possible for sin to be in heaven, then what do we have to hope for? Remember, the bible speaks of 3 heavens.

To Sharon - satan is not mighty; satan was the angel of light in heaven; he was created by God as were all things (In the beginning GOD ....). None of the angels have ANY power of themselves. satan had to present himself before God, his creator, to request power to torment Job. God gave His permission because God knew Job's heart and that Job would cleave to God.

Satan indeed is mighty but GOD is almighty.

i would like to know where the place was that Satan came to God?

I also love the book of job.i told GOD one day :I want to be like job,at time I was thinking about the blessings-wasn't thinking about what he went through to be blessed, still today I want to be like job,only now I want GOD to bring me there or wherever he choose for me to be that I make it to heaven by filling calling placed on my life.

To Bruce on satan - he doesn't have power. Job 1:6-12. He has to present himself before God and ask permission. God allows him to grieve us to test our love and faith for Him. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Job is my favorite bible character I guess because he reminds me of me job had many problems I am disabled with makes it hard for me but whenever I am in a trial I think I don't have it as bad as job did and he did not leave God.

TO Terry for v. 12 - Try this: pray about it. It could be from God - OR 0 it could be from satan, whom God will allow to do things - Job 1:8. satan HAS to ask God for permission before he can do anything. and if he does do something- it's 'cause God let him. Bottom line: talk to God about it.

In all our earthly sufferings thou shall not blame God rather exalt Him for He cares

God's way is always the best. The Lord God will never allow a temptation that is beyond what we can manage. Whatever happens to a child of God as a purpose. The comments of 'P' the first one to this book must be condemned to its deepest point. God's is the best. Therefore let all human beings praise the Lord. Amen.

To 'P' on Gen. 1 -- verses 4, 5,

What helped make Job so great in the eyes of God before all his suffering began was not so much what he did or didn't do. It was his heart attitude. Verse 1 tells us more about his heart than about his works, and verse 5 shows how his love for God played out in his life in one area, that of his children.

if the people of God should have the understanding that job had, knowing that every thing int this world is vanity and equally know that we came to this world naked and will go back naked. only God gives and equally takes.

This book of job is my life do anyone else agree with me

In spite of all the trials and tribulations we may have in life as a humble servant of God we should not be tempted by Satan and his evil work because God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son and whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life as job said god give and he takes away he created heaven and earth and not we ourselves

I have learn t a lot about job the faithful servant of God that in spite of the misfortunes,challenges,troubles that may befell you,The only palace of safety and comfort is in the hands of the most high God who is the source of life.

The book of JOB has kept me humble among other words of GOD, and the Holy Spirit. Having a job makes me think of the book of JOB. When I feel like I've worked so hard and I've lost everything, I remember JOB and GOD'S promise to us all. HE will never leave us nor forsake us. He was with JOB the whole time.
