How can you question who Elihu is? It is all in plain sight. Job asked for a judge who was made of clay. Job did not want a judge such as God, who would laugh at the trial of the innocent. Job wanted one who would not make him afraid, such as God had done to him. Then Job would stand and speak...

God in his foreknowledge new that Job was his. Job was God's servant, but Job declared himself a hired servant. The hired servant could not partake of the Passover Lamb. Another hired servant, who also was a non-Hebrew, is an example of the state of Job. Nebuchadnezzar was declared by God to be...

Can you tell us at what point in these 42 chapters that you believe Job was saved?

Yes, he was. Gen 36:43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.

It is my opinion that Job represents the other brother. Jacob represents all Israel, and Job represents Edom. Evidence for this lies in many places so I will present only a few. Job's name means hated. "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. The first 18 verses in Lamentations 3 have a...

That only happens if we have been washed in the blood, which means we have a relationship with God. How are we made right with God? Is it not by putting on God's righteousness? Job did not know God, or how to find him. Job did not know how to be right with God. Job exalted his own righteousness...

Then that begs the question: when did Job fall? I believe Job fell after the second test. The test was that Job would curse God to his face after being tried. Job did not do that. But what about his heart? Job passed as far as his lips were concerned, and in this Satan was wrong, but what if Job...

I am afraid that poetry would be just a rabbit hole. You have not stated how poetry affects the meaning of the words in this book. In the first test it was God and not Job that stated Job had retained his integrity. In the second test it was Job that implied that he retained his integrity...

"Without cause"-----You are taking this statement out of context. Satan said, Job 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. The Hebrew says, "and he will bless not you to your face". This was not God's cause, but rather Satan's cause...

Yes, I learned how the scripture was written. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: You seem to be avoiding the hard questions, like, when did Job lose his integrity? Or why did God...

Injecting poetry can easily lead down a rabbit trail. Does your definition of poetry in the bible include poetic license? The only parallel we see here is in the actual presentation of the two tests. No, Job did not pass the second test, because he did not bless God after the second test as he...

Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. Eze 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God...

Could you define poetry as it relates to the bible?

Leviathan was in the garden. Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. We see in the book of Job a whole chapter that is devoted to...

Unless you lay the two tests out together you will miss it. THE TWO TESTS OF JOB Job had two tests. Whenever you take a test, you get scored on that test. In the reading of the first and second chapters of Job we are caught up with the anguish and torment of Job, and in the process we are...
