Discuss Job 9

GOD will not revoke his wrath,under Him the proud helpers bow,do stoop under Him. Job 9:13

Revelation 11:18 -

18 And the nations were (WILL BE) angry(wrathed), and thy WRATH is come (GOD's WRATH), and the time of the dead, that they should be Judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest DESTROY them which destroy the earth.

MAJESTY

Pt 3

We should be mindful of our personal view of God and regularly check ourselves and ask questions such as:

Do I esteem God above all else?

Do I stand in awe of Him?

Do I consider all of His majestic ways?

Do I believe what He said when it is wrong to think that He is altogether UNlike us, being absolutely unique and unparalleled.

Ex. 8:10; Job 9:3; 1 Kgs. 8:23; Is. 46:9

Dominion and awe belong to God Job 25:2

He is a great and awesome God Dt. 7:21

Do I have high and lofty thoughts of God?

Do I tremble because of His splendor and majesty?

If the answer is no to these questions, then one should study what the Scriptures say about His majesty. In doing so, one will expand their view of Him and swell up with praise and honor to Him.

So, in His pure Being, God is truly above and beyond all else. We worship a God that cannot be totally searched out. We can never exhaust the depths of His perfections.

All these ideas speak to His transcendence-His Otherness in relation to his creatures and created things.

But He is also majestic in His eminence-His nearness and involvement and relationship to His creatures.

And the most majestic aspect of His eminence is the incarnation of Jesus.

Heb. 1:3 Col. 1:15

Jesus is the image of the invisible God-the exact representation of His Being, the brightness of the Father's glory, the express

image of the person of the Father. Jesus, being God, humbled Himself by taking on humanity into His deity and glorified

God in His perfect humanity as He does in His perfect deity. He brought the glory of God to mankind. He showed us the Father.

John 10 explains this well.

How blessed we are that God bent low for us in giving us His divine Son to show us the majesty of His grace and mercy in

salvation in Christ.

And in viewing the eminence of God in Christ, we can ask these questions.

Do I value the coming of Jesus as the most important thing in all of history?

Do I treat Jesus as the King He is?

Psalm 19 along with Romans 1 demonstrate that all of the universe testifies to the whole world of the presence of God as well as to His order to the design of the universe. We can; therefore make a transition from the One who created the laws of nature to the written law and statutes ordained by God. (The word statute apparently means a specific enactment of a law).

Some degree of apologetics here is in order to explain the most common objection to the statement of the sun and its apparent movements here on earth. (see also Job 9:7). Often this is dismissed as a superstitious viewpoint of the earth being the center of the universe with the sun revolving around it. When taking into account the movement of our galaxy; for example we see how the sun moves through it's own "circuit" as it were through our local system of stars and how in fact our galaxy moves in its cluster of surrounding galaxies through the universe. So; therefore there is a certain pattern that it has in regard to the bigger picture as the earth has. We also need to remember the verse in Joshua when the sun stopped for a day and the moon ( Joshua 10:13) as well a when the sundial returned back to where it was ( 2 Kings 20:1-11). There are historical accounts as well of supernatural events such as the sun and moon turning dark during the crucifixion in different parts of the world.

Notwithstanding; of course it is clearly not a "bridegroom" as verse 5 indicates; so we need to take symbolic language if literal cannot b taken as should be the rule in all scripture!

Note how law; fear; statutes and judgment are all things which we should think upon. This is the sentiment of verses 9 to 11. We are not given an indication what are "presumtous" sins (v. 13) or "secret faults." (v. 12). We do realize that in meditating on the Lord we are focused on Him and this readiness keeps us from slipping (see meditating day and night verse Joshua 1:8).

Commentary:

Mediator





"One who intervenes between two persons who are at variance, with" a view to reconcile them. This word is not found in the Old "Testament; but the idea it expresses is found in Job 9:33, in" "the word "daysman" (q.v.), marg., "umpire." "This word is used in the New Testament to denote simply an "internuncius, an ambassador, one who acts as a medium of" communication between two contracting parties. In this sense Moses is called a mediator in Gal. 3:19. "Christ is the ONE AND ONLY mediator between God and man ( 1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 12:24). He makes reconciliation between God and man by his all-perfect atoning sacrifice. Such a mediator "must be at once divine and human, divine, that his obedience and" "his sufferings might possess infinite worth, and that he might" possess infinite wisdom and knowlege and power to direct all things in the kingdoms of providence and grace which are "committed to his hands ( Matt. 28:18; John 5:22, 25, 26, 27); and" "human, that in his work he might represent man, and be capable" of rendering obedience to the law and satisfying the claims of "justice ( Heb. 2:17, 18; 4:15, 16), and that in his glorified" humanity he might be the head of a glorified Church ( Rom. 8:29). "This office involves the three functions of prophet, priest, and "king, all of which are discharged BY JESUS both in his estate" of humiliation and exaltation. These functions are so inherent in the one office that the quality appertaining to each gives character to every mediatorial act. They are never separated in the exercise of the office of MEDIATOR

Job 9:30.

Iamiam before abraham was iam

Patrick, astrology is 'frowned upon', as by definition, it is the study that assumes and attempts to interpret the influence of the heavenly bodies on human affairs. Man has for eons wanted to have some assistance to forecast the future for himself & the world he lives in, & without the help from the Bible & having faith in a trustworthy, all-powerful God, he has chosen to look to the heavens for signs. This has never worked though helps relieve some short-lived uncertainty to the seeker.

I've read the Bible through and have yet to find the 'science' of astrology in there and helpful to me in understanding myself & my world, both present & future. Only God's Word, without the need of heavenly bodies, discerns our heart, thoughts, & gives us a hope for this life & that to come. True, there are various references to the stars in the Bible (e.g. Amos 5:8, Job 9:7-10; 38:31, 32), but these are referred to as their constellations which God has set in the heavens, but not for the purpose of them directing the affairs of men.

If you're interested (& I don't give full assent to it), there a short study on this by Perry Stone. Once in his Manna-Fest window, find the Topic: The Enoch Cipher and the future cosmic signs of Christ's Return. Here he gives the connection between the specific setting of the constellations and Israel's tribal structure & other details. But even here, the 'science' of astrology & astronomy are vastly different.

In Job 9:9, Job is referencing three celestial objects and alluding to the Power of GOD!

The three objects mentioned are all positioned and viewable in the Northern Hemisphere! Here, Job is saying, GOD is so Powerful he could move them to the Southern Hemisphere if he so wished, so how could Man(Job) possibly contend with God or his Power?

Job is so frustrated with trying to find out why he has been singled out for all his 'curses'(which were invoked by Satan), he is overwhelmed with the thought of contending with GODs Power to try to help himself! In essence he is answering back to Bilbads comments in the previous Chapter.

God is Spirit. There are MANY scriptures on God being seen. If you read it slowly, you will see the description is in imagery.

Go get some pen & paper and write down these scriptures; then you can read them and picture God in your heart when you pray.

This is a ps from me: if you have "pictures of God" (some artist imagined) in your home? You need to get rid of them,

According to Exodus 20. That's not a photograph of God and is considered to be a graven image. Crosses on the wall is ok, but not images.

I have 1 still life painting of a bowl of fruit and a pitcher of water. It makes me think of eating a meal with Jesus.

Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

Psalms 75:3 (Read whole chapter)

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

Joel 2:30

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

I don't know why this is important to you. May I suggest that you use this Websites Search Engine when you come in here.

A thorough search of pillars. Be sure to read all scripture pointed to; in those center of the page reference columns.

Dear Flossy,

I might not understand what you are undergoing clearly in your life but when I was scrolling down some of the prayer requests in here, yours caught my eye. I want to say to you that what you are going through is not the end of it all. Everyone becomes depressed as a way of attack from the enemy. What the LORD wants for your life is to set you free! In the bible it says who the Son sets free is free indeed in John 8:36. Also the bible is clear with the instruction of those who call upon the name of the LORD will be saved! You are experiencing trouble on trusting on GOD because of the way you were raised in your home. For people who were raised in performance based house tends to do everything to earn the love of those who they want to experience love as well. We cannot blame the situation or the past for something that happened. What you can do is to start asking GOD for strength to forgive those people too. It is also said that Jesus died for all of our sins so that we can be forgiven and experience a life of eternity with Him. When we ask for forgiveness from Jesus, we can be confident to ask for the blood of Jesus to cover us as well thus cleansing us completely from everything that we had done including shame or any condemnation on our lives. No one comes to GOD except GOD came first to us, that's why we love GOD because He first loved us. No one can demonstrate how to love the right way unless someone shows it to them. It's applicable to everyone especially you! It's free that's why you can get it! If everyone needs to earn the love of GOD then all of us are dead before Him. No one is worthy to face Him and "NO ONE" can match the love that the Father needs because He is love already.

If there is a way for us to be saved apart from GOD then He is not a god at all. I would like to encourage you to read Job 9:25-31 if you can. It says in verse 30 that even if we wash ourselves with soap and clean our hands in verse 31 still we would be plunged

I stayed up most of last night, being led through BIBLE SCRIPTURES, that back up what the teacher is teaching. It is painstakingly slow, And biblically SOUND.

I would not have even listened to it if it didn't have scriptural foundation. The teacher uses the Hebrew to explain the events that happened. I do not know why I had NEVER heard this expanded teaching before, at church, but I have now. I still have 3 hours to listen to!

Here are some scripture passages you'll want to mark for that study. At one point I just began to write all over the page margins :/

This may interest you to listen to it on YouTube later.

Genesis 1, Job 1:8, restoration of earth in Genesis,

Jeremiah 4;23-28

Jeremiah 4:26 Gods anger

Isaiah 24:1 Is pre-Adam; God turned earth upside down,

Job 9:1-9 earth frozen ball of ice

Job 38. Science has proved the Bible is accurate;

Deu. 32:4 Gods work is perfect

Isa 45:18

Psalm 18:30

Genesis verses 6-9 restoration not creation

Genesis 1-2 earth not 6 thousand years old; it's billions, what science proved.

I had all the prophetic scriptures boxed; I just didn't know how the fit in. When it says former inhabitants and people's, those are the 1/3 angels that followed Lucifer.

Isaiah 14:17 20 spoken by demons to Lucifer

Satan was in hell when Adam was created. He was turned into a snake. Was in the garden Ezekiel 28:13

Ezekiel 28: 1-19 Lucifer>Satan

Lucifer went from Archangel/ covering Cherub. God>Holy Spirit>Jesus>Lucifer

YouTube. WAR IN THE HEAVENLIES, by Benny Hinn. 5 hour teaching

Why do we need to put this together so we can understand it?? Because people ask questions. And..,it's very important to Satan. We need to know HOW he came to be loose on the earth; after Adam and after Jesus'S death on the Cross.

For myself and you, we have a responsibility to piece this together as it really happened.

Andres, I had to do some researching for your question as the answer cannot be found from Scripture. So trying to make a long research paper simple, this is what I've found & hope it is of some use to you:

Both in Job 9:9 & Amos 5:8, mention is made of those star constellations. So the problem we have is: how are these stars with these names, known by these OT people? The answer is apparently that they hadn't called them by these names in the original language, Hebrew, but those original words were also known differently in Aramaic/Syriac & these are what we are seeing here.

So in Hebrew, Orion was known as 'Kesil', which means 'foolish' because they viewed this constellation as a picture of 'a tall & strong man chained for his folly'. For Pleiades (the view of Seven Stars), was originally known as 'Kimah'. Then in Syriac, it was referred to as Pleiades.

Therefore, with Amos, as a Prophet of God, his writings reflected what was given to him to declare to Israel. And this included these stars which he may not have been entirely familiar with, but declared them (Kesil & Kimah) which have since been translated in the Bible to be the Orion & Pleiades. With Job, we're unsure of his knowledge about these stars, whether from Divine inspiration or from others who may have already named them. So a bit of uncertainty here.

Those mentioned in Job were stars. Orion is a constellation, often called the hunter.

"Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south."

Arcturus is a red giant star in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth's sky and the brightest star in the constellation Botes (the herdsman). Arcturus is among the brightest stars that can be seen from Earth.

The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, is a bright object in the night sky with many a story in ancient mythology.

I was actually a member of the Southern Cross Astronomical society with the Miami Museum of science and space Planetarium when I was younger. I enjoyed looked at the creation and then discovered the creator.

Arcturus

What was Areturus in Job 9 some say a star and some say mountain, and some say a place?

corona time is coming where's your face mask i know your bored at home quarantine corona virus is coming.

this si speaking about the daughter of babylon isaiah 13:13which is america who will be burnt with fire, psalms 137:7 ancient babylon wasnt burnt with fire . the people the real jews are the blacks hispanics an native americans who were put into slavery an destroyed and shown no mercy in cattle slavery revelation 2:9 the jewish people lied to us an fooled the whole world job 9:24

This proves that no matter how much faith in God,we can always start to loose hope as Job did in dark times

God and Satan ad a conversation about job...job .never disrespect God..even when...his wife says curse God and die...his entire family.die.God is the greatest.awesome..his love for us is so un conditionally special his only son laying down is life for us..Pastor preached today on Job..even when they lied on us .we don't get mad..we get even and get ahead..still love one another amen

Precious Femi Ayodelle...
He was using the names of star constellations which were known at that time. Planets or stars within those constellations were, often much later, individually named with the same or similar names. And God is INDEED Great!!! ~

CAN YOU EXPLAIN MORE ABOUT HIM

To Cynthia 3 mos. ago - Job 2:13

How long was job tormented before God healed him

THIS SHOWS THAT THESE MEN OLD WERE MOVED IN THEIR UTTERANCES. HOW COULD JOB HAVE KNOWN THE NAMES OF PLANETS WHICH WERE LATER DISCOVERED MILLENIUMS LATER. GOD IS GREAT

I have written much about Arcturus..it is more than the eye sees.

matthew henry LOVE the way you explained this chapter keep it up
