    Did God give Job a new wife or was she the same one he had before?
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Hi Haley.

    God bless you and thanks for sharing this with us, It's encouraging and a blessing to those of us who is going through a similar trial. Or perhaps will be. We can trust in the Lord and allow him to minister his love, mercy and peace in our lives.

    We don't have to do anything outstanding to be a recipient of God's love. Love is what he is, He displayed that through his son. stay in touch.

    We're praying with you.

    God bless.

  • Haley - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Wow! I had no idea anyone had responded to my post, but praise God that my desperate rambling was used to speak to anyone at all. I doubted it would ever even be read by an actual person.

    Thank all of y'all who were guided to respond. It means so much to me to feel heard. I appreciate any prayer for my life, my health, my restoration, and please go on.. but if I may ask for specific prayers for my young twin daughters? Their names are Bonnie and Baylee, and they are 8 years old. Beautiful, smart and tender hearted, and so far they love Jesus! Unfortunately we lost their daddy and my husband in a car accident when they were only 15 months old. It hasn't been easy, and I know it might be a long while until there are better times ahead. All because of the clarity the Lord gave me throughout yesterday and today, I am finally beginning to really really be at peace with God's purpose for my life, and wether he restores my health or ends my life on earth I will rejoice in His promises because now I KNOW Jesus is using my life to glorify His name, and I pray it can be used so others can receive Jesus like I have!, I just pray PLEASE Lord, that my girls see Christ through me. I can't say how much it would mean to me that anyone would see fit to lift up my daughters in prayer at my request. And I ask for this of anyone who will, because I am the best at forgetting to focus on Jesus and not on myself. And I fall back to being a poor example of the Living Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is no more time for me to be a lukewarm Christian. They have to know their mommas life was made rich complete because of God's goodness!I'm still rambling like a crazy person, and I thank y'all for not laughing or judging how desperate I am in my spirit for God's grace to continue this raining on me. Thank you God for being ALMIGHTY and POWERFUL. Jesus ALONE is worthy of praise. Amen.

    Haley,

    Your words have truly ministered to my heart. You have shared with us a perfect example of what it means to place one's complete trust in Jesus Christ. You have reminded me of what it means to remain under our circumstances, no matter how hard those circumstances might be, and knowing that the Lord oftentimes places hardships in our lives in order to teach us how to trust in Him. You've demonstrated that trust. I can't see how anyone reading your words would not be blessed by them. Your words have caused me to examine my own walk with Christ, and for that I say thank you. My prayers are with you as you deal with cancer. I lift you up to the Lord and pray for His will to be done in your life. May He continue to strengthen you and guide you in every path that He sets before you.
  • Spartacus - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago

    Dear "Haley", it was good to read your testimony, really uplifting and comforting. There, between the lines of all hardship and despair, is a deliverance that you want everyone to experience. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing your joy in the Lord Jesus, love u in Christ. Act 1

  • Haley on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Thank You, Lord, for your Word! Praise you for your perfect timing! How amazing is every lesson you have for me! Every time you open my eyes a little wider and make my sight a little clearer I am amazed how perfectly you orchestrated my lesson! I would never be able to express my awe of You, my Creator, not even if I lived forever. My prayer is for every person to feel and watch You move in their life in a BIG way like you've done in mine, over and over, so they have no doubt of your existence and no denial of Your love for us!! Forgive me for doubting your faithfulness to me, and keep me from doubting you ever again!! It is the darkest feeling to admit my doubt in Your promise to never forsake me. I admitted my doubt and fear today to my momma in front of You with so much fear of my words hurting You and angering you with me. How dare I ask "why me?" Who am I to complain about anything? You allowed the sin of the whole world to fall on your perfect and blameless child, but I complain about my small share of suffering? How foolish and ungrateful of me. But, Praise Your Name, you heard me, you saw me, you gently and lovingly corrected me, and you restored my faith in that moment. I WILL take on this next battle with cancer you've allowed on me like I have the times before and I WILL trust in Your Holy plan even though I have no idea why so much suffering has been in Your Will for me. I will trust that it is all for Your Glory, and I thank you that my life might be used for your Glory. Thank you for Job and how you used his life to show us the obedience you want from us. It is awesome to watch you work in my life. My Father, Creator, Counselor, Master, Savior, my precious Jesus!! Thank you for your mercy and grace and love that never ends!!!

    Dav47:

    I never said that Job was not and actual event.

    Is not our bible the WORDS of God.

    Was not Job a Prophet, Prophesying.

    2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy CAME NOT in the old time by the will of men: but holy men of God spake as they we moved by the Holy Ghost.

    Job 27:1 And Job continued HIS PARABLE, and said

    Job 13:27 ...thou settest a print on the heels of my feet.

    Job was PROPHESYING by a PARABLE about Christ.

    Most of Psalms, is David, a Prophet, prophesying about Christ.

    You see the same thing described by both Prophets.

    God Bless YOU!
  • Dav47 - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Actual events not some parable: Job was the 3rd son Issachar ( Genesis 46:13) he would of gone down to Egypt with his father. Issachar was 40 at "the going down to Egypt" Job would have been about 20 at that time (1706 bc). We are told he lived 140 years after his double blessing 42:10. If the double blessing included length of years then his age would have been 70 + 140 = 210 (3 70's of years). His lifetime would be 1726 to1516 BC. According to this, he was born the year after Joseph was sold, and died 119 years after the death of Joseph (in 1635 BC). When Joseph died, Job was 91. If his double blessing did include length of years (little doubt that they did) then his affliction took place 21 years previously, when he was 70. When Job died (1516) Moses was 55 and had been in Midian 15 years, 25 years before the Exodus. This would account for Job being a worshiper of GOD of Abraham, and explains how Moses could have been the author of the book, and perhaps an eye and ear witness of the events it records in Midian. Time of afflictions was very quick and happened in days. The assault began Gen. 2:7 (1656 BC). The so called 3 friends were descendants of Esau; therefore contemporaries. They spoke for 40 chapters before GOD had enough and told Job to get up and quit listening to them. They accused Job of being a sinner when Job knew he did not.

    Satan allowed to test Job was on earth de-facto meaning Satan was allowed to be here in his super natural state. Satan came to and fro from earth to heaven until CHRIST ordered him to get behind HIM and has been held there by Michael ever sense.
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Hi Debra.

    Keep on studying the word, you can't go wrong. test everything with the light of scripture. Everything is not symbolic, that's a heresy!

    Some things we run across that have no significance.

    Today many will try to lead you away from the faith. Listen to Jesus here: I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8.

    Also Peter.

    2 Peter 2:1. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

    God bless you.
  • ELB - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Sister Kay:

    Why do you think there is so many opinions:

    Because MAN want believe God's WORD.

    Job 27:1 And Job continued his PARABLE, and said.

    Was Job crucified on the Cross:

    Job 13:27 ...thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet

    James 15:11 .... ye have heard of the patience of Job (Jesus) ......

    Revelation 1:9 ......and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ ......

    PROPHECY

    Psalms 49:4 I (Christ) will open my mouth in a PARABLE .....

    Ezekiel 17:2 Son of man, put forth a RIDDLE, and speak a PARABLE .....

    Ezekiel 24:3 And utter a PARABLE ....

    PROPHECY FULFILLED

    Matthew And these thing Jesus spake to the multitudes in PARABLES, and WITHOUT a PARABLE he SPAKE NOT TO THEM.

    Christ is speaking TODAY to the MULTITUDES though HIS WORDS, and THOSE WORDS ARE A PARABLE.

    You will never understand God's WORD until he causes you to believe his word's are a PARABLE.

    Everything from Genesis to Revelation is a PARABLE about the KINGDOM OF GOD.

    God Bless YOU!
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Hi Debra.

    The scripture doesn't give us a time table of Jobs suffering.

    But here James reference him, so the book of Job is not a parable! The story of Job as I'm sure you know was as real as you and I.

    James 5:11 (KJV) Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

    God bless.
  • ELB - In Reply on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Debra Kay:

    The book of Job is BOTH a PARABLE and a PROPHECY about and of Jesus Christ, as is Psalms.

    Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his PARABLE, and said

    Job 29:1 Moreover Job continued his PARABLE, and said

    Job 13:27 .....thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet

    I guess the answer to you question: how long did Job suffer.

    Jesus suffered three and a half years, his ministry in the flesh.

    God Bless YOU!
  • Debra Kay Gibbs on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    How many years did Job go through this suffering?
  • Marke on Job 42 - 2 years ago
    Elihu was like John the Baptist, preparing the way of the Lord who came in the final chapters of the book. God did not rebuke Elihu and once Elihu had finished preparing the way for the Lord he disappeared from the record. John the Baptist said, "He must increase and I must decrease." Once the Lord had entered John the Baptist and Elihu were no longer needed.
  • Rick Colombe on Job 42 - 3 years ago
    Wondering why Elihu was not mentioned in final chapter of Job. Anyone out there have any thoughts, as related to Elihu?
  • Andy G van den Berg on Job 42 - 4 years ago
    On JOB 42:6

    The Word of God is God ( John 1:1) and is not of any private interpretation ( 2 Peter 1:20).

    The word 'Repent' in different forms (repent, repentance, repented, repentest, repenteth, repenting, repentings) is mentioned 110 times in the KJV, and means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. The word 'repent' used in the New Testament was translated from the Greek word "metanoeo", and means to change, transform, to think differently or reconsider.

    It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

    For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17).

    You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).

    It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21) and learn what 'True Repentance' means, and how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).

    LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.

  • Millard Lewis Powers - In Reply on Job 42:6 - 4 years ago
    We are all God's possessions, and I, for one, am glad to be such. He is not morally deficient and could never be so, unlike slave owners. God takes care of his possessions just like I take care of my tractor, only better than I ever could.

    Even the pure in heart can do better, at times. If you go back to Job 32 and read to the end of Job 37, Elihu explains why Job needs to repent. He says that Job justified himself rather than God.

    Now, Elihu was not one of Job's three friends who had come to visit him, but he was there and had listened patiently to the discussion between them and Job. Notice that when God rebukes Job and his three friends, he DOESN'T rebuke Elihu. Elihu is the ONLY ONE who escapes God's rebuke. So read those six chapters where he speaks for enlightenment about why Job should have repented.
  • Meredith - In Reply on Job 42 - 4 years ago
    God is absolutely never morally deficient. Job was already walking in communion with God prior to his trials because God told Satan "behold my servant Job" in the first chapter. God allowed the afflictions not to punish Job for sin but to strengthen his faith for His glory. And although the old testament predates Christ's death on the cross, the Bible says the lamb of God (Jesus) was slain from the foundation of the world. Meaning that man's ultimate salvation through the blood of Christ was always God's plan, even before He created man. If God always intended to take on flesh and be made a sacrifice for His children's souls then He certainly never viewed us as objects but rather as something so cherished He was willing to die to preserve us. Praise the Lord for his infinite love and mercy for sinners like us!
  • George Godas on Job 42:6 - 4 years ago
    Job had heard about God and did not experience God himself. But if, as he says, he is now seeing God, then he must be pure of heart (for they are the ones who see God. So, if he is pure of heart, what is the point of repenting? Also, it seems to me that God may be looking at everything that he created as possessions, including Job. But if Job is a possession, this puts God in a morally deficient mode (not without arrogance). Your thoughts?
  • Marilyn on Job 42 - 5 years ago
    I bless the God of my life. He could not be a man and he does not lie. Job received the promises from God because he never doubted God. Job also did not charge God for what happened in his life and to his family. That s why I love him! Job was such a righteous man and God said it and spoke it. God made it good. Look at the Riches of cattles and children restored. Job just waited on God . Amen!
  • Obbie Beal on Job 42 - 6 years ago
    these circumstances (one after another) that came into Job's life... will break most of us of 2018... but Job had build his life life on the'Will of GOD' thereby was rooted and grounded in GOD to the degree that Job (by God's Power) RIGHTLY endured the beating from these circumstances. WOW! WOW! WOW!
