[JLG]

- In Revelation 5,7 and 14, we are told about two groups !

- They both come from every tribe and tongue and people and nation !

- So there is nothing to do with Israel as a people !

- We also get a limited number and an unlimited number !

 

[JLG]

- The first group has a limited number !

- They have been purchased by the blood of the christ !

- They have the name of the Lamb and of his Father on their foreheads (two names not one) !

- They sing a new song before the throne and they are the only one who can learn it !

- They become a kingdom of priests who serve God and reign with him upon the earth !

- They follow the lamb wherever he goes !

- Then we are told they are from all the tribes of Israel !

- But they can’t be at the same time from every tribe and tongue and people and nation and from all the tribes of Israel !

- Except if we remember Exodus 19:5,6 where it is said that Israel could have become a nation of priests !

- But they didn’t keep God’s covenant !

- So the Levites became the priests in Israel instead!

- In Numbers 3:39-51, they had a special first fruit role !

- Thus Israel was replaced by this first group !

- This group has been redeemed from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb !

- They have not been defiled with women for they are virgins !

- No lie was found in their mouths and they are blameless !

- Thus it is impossible to make a confusion about their nature!

 

[JLG]

- The second group is a countless multitude !

- They come out of the great tribulation !

- They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb !

- They are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple !

- And the one seated on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them !

- They won’t hunger nor thirst nor feel the heat !

- The lamb will be their shepherd !

- He will lead them to springs of water !

- And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes !

- They stand before the throne and before the lamb !

- They wear white robes and palm branches !

 

[JLG]

- Not to forget the third point :

- We are also told that a gospel is proclaimed to those who dwell on the earth to every nation and tribe and tongue and people !

 

[JLG]

- May I ask a question to everybody ?

- I will let people time!

- Then I will answer too!

- There is no trap!

- WHAT IS ALL THE BIBLE ABOUT EXCEPT THE FACT THAT IT IS GOD’S WORD ?

- There may be different answers depending on the elements we have!

• He would make sacrifices for his children because he was afraid that his children would sin against God in their hearts!
• And he would always do that!
• Have you ever heard of someone like him in the Bible?
• And for Yah·weh it was clear like crystal!
• There was no one like him on earth!

https://www.gotquestions.org/life-Job.html


The life of Job demonstrates that humans are often unaware of the many ways God is at work in the life of each believer. Job’s life is also one that prompts the common question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” It is the age-old question, and difficult to answer, but believers know that God is always in control, and, no matter what happens, there are no coincidences—nothing happens by chance. Job was a believer; he knew that God was on the throne and in total control, though he had no way of knowing why so many terrible tragedies were occurring in his life.


Job was "blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil" (Job 1:1). He had ten children and was a man of great wealth. The Bible tells us that one day Satan presented himself before God and God asked Satan what he thought of Job. Satan accused Job of honoring God only because God had blessed him. So, God allowed Satan to take away Job’s wealth and his children. Later, God allowed Satan to afflict Job physically. Job grieved deeply but did not charge God with wrongdoing (Job 1:22; 42:7–8).


Job’s friends were certain that Job must have sinned in order to deserve punishment and argued with him about it. But Job maintained his innocence, though he confessed that he wanted to die and did ask questions of God. A younger man, Elihu, attempted to speak on God’s behalf before God, Himself, answered Job. Job 38—42 contain some of the most stunning poetry about the magnitude and might of God. Job responded to God’s discourse in humility and repentance, saying he had spoken of things he did not know (Job 40:3–5; 42:1–6). God told Job’s friends that He was angry with them for speaking falsehoods about Him, unlike Job who had spoken truth (Job 42:7–8). God told them to offer sacrifices and that Job would pray on their behalf and God would accept Job’s prayer. Job did so, likely forgiving his friends for their harshness himself. God restored Job’s fortunes two-fold (Job 42:10) and "blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part" (Job 42:12). Job lived 140 years after his suffering.


Job never lost his faith in God, even under the most heartbreaking circumstances that tested him to his core. It’s hard to imagine losing everything we own in one day—property, possessions, and even children. Most men would sink into depression and perhaps even become suicidal after such massive loss. Though depressed enough to curse the day of his birth (Job 3:1–26), Job never cursed God (Job 2:9–10) nor did he waver in his understanding that God was still in control. Job’s three friends, on the other hand, instead of comforting him, gave him bad advice and even accused him of committing sins so grievous that God was punishing him with misery. Job knew God well enough to know that He did not work that way; in fact, he had such an intimate, personal relationship with Him that he was able to say, “Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face” (Job 13:15). When Job’s wife suggested he curse God and die, Job replied "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" (Job 2:10).

 

[JLG]

Job’s plight, from the death of his children and loss of his property to the physical torment he endured, plus the harangue of his so-called friends, never caused his faith to waver. He knew who his Redeemer was, he knew that He was a living Savior, and he knew that someday He would physically stand on the earth (Job 19:25). He understood that man’s days are ordained (numbered) and they cannot be changed (Job 14:5). The spiritual depth of Job shows throughout the book. James refers to Job as an example of perseverance, writing, "Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy" (James 5:10–11).


There are also several scientific and historical facts in the book of Job. The book implied the earth is round long before the advent of modern science (Job 22:14). The book mentions dinosaurs—not by that name, but the description of the behemoth is certainly dinosaur-like—living side by side with man (Job 40:15–24).


The book of Job gives us a glimpse behind the veil that separates earthly life from the heavenly. In the beginning of the book, we see that Satan and his fallen angels are still allowed access to heaven, going in and out to the prescribed meetings that take place there. What is obvious from these accounts is that Satan is busy working his evil on earth, as recorded in Job 1:6–7. Also, this account shows how Satan is “the accuser of the brethren,” which corresponds to Revelation 12:10, and it shows his arrogance and pride, as written in Isaiah 14:13–14. It is amazing to see how Satan challenges God; he has no scruples about confronting the Most High. The account in Job shows Satan as he truly is—haughty and evil to the core.


Perhaps the greatest lesson we learn from the book of Job is that God does not have to answer to anyone for what He does or does not do. Job’s experience teaches us that we may never know the specific reason for suffering, but we must trust in our sovereign, holy, righteous God. His ways are perfect (Psalm 18:30). Since God’s ways are perfect, we can trust that whatever He does—and whatever He allows—is also perfect. We can’t expect to understand God’s mind perfectly, as He reminds us, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. . . . For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8–9).


Our responsibility to God is to obey Him, to trust Him, and to submit to His will, whether we understand it or not. When we do, we will find God in the midst of our trials—possibly even because of our trials. We will see more clearly the magnificence of our God, and we will say, with Job, “My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you” (Job 42:5).

If our mouth praises us, we need to examine to see if we are wrong.
My answer:
- In fact, our mouths should never praise us!
- We should tend to accurate knowledge!
- Meaning it's a path we must keep going!
- Meaning there is always a lot more to learn!
- And constantly checking what we know!
- What we know today may be wrong tomorrow!
- Depending on the elements we have or not!
