I think there's another "Jesus Moment" in the book of Job, and it's in Job 9:33 when he said, "If only there were a mediator between us, someone who could bring us together." In 1 Timothy 2:5 , "For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity--the man Christ Jesus" Thank you so much for making these videos 😊 God bless you Pastor Landon!

A month ago I read a book called "Job: Man of Sorrows" (I got it through Amazon). The author puts his finger on the sore spot in a way that I have never seen or heard of anywhere else. I wholeheartedly recommend it to those of you heavily interested in Job, or either "weary", "tired", "quarantined" or "under pain". You will never read anything similar to that anywhere.

[@CraigWalkerNZ]

I find it interesting that when people speak about the book of Job and try to explain it, they don't really touch on the fact that God made a bet with Satan at the expense of Job. God is all knowing correct? So when Satan says that the only reason Job loves him and worships him so dearly is because of the good life he has and all his possessions, an all knowing god would already know that that is incorrect and that if Job went through this suffering he wouldn't lose faith. He shouldn't feel the need to go through with the bet allowing Satan to ruin his life and cause him suffering, as he already knows the answer. Then, on top of all the suffering Job goes through, God comes down not to come clean on the real reason why Job suffered, but to tell him not to question it because Job isn't as powerful as him and they don't have the right to determin why bad things happen, yet in reality it's cause God was, lack for a better word, insecure about what Satan said to him. I'm sorry but this story doesn't answer the question "Why do bad things happen?". It only leaves you with more questions such as "Why does God allow good people to suffer for bad reasons?". "Just because and you are not as mighty as me therefore you cannot question me" is not a suffecient answer when talking about a god who is supposedly "All loving". God knew the outcome before allowing Satan to make Job suffer. Unfortunatly, the only thing I can learn from this story is that, if God truly existed and allowed this to happen then he can't be an all loving god. I'm open to hearing your reasoning on this, because I find it extremely hard to learn any good from this.

[@landonbiblestudy]

Hey Craig This I think is really THE question of the book - ur on the right track in my mind in terms of how difficult it is. At the end of the book God says basically - I am God, can anyone question me ? Do we have enough faith to believe that God is doing things and well when we don't understand them or they hurt or they are difficult or confusing ? That to me is the question of the book - Job was. What do you think about that idea ?

[@CraigWalkerNZ]

@@landonbiblestudy I understand what you mean when you say "Do we have enough faith...". I feel like that question would work if we never truly knew the reasons behind why he allows bad things to happen, and therefore we should have faith that there's a good reason he's doing it, however, I think the book of Job truly harms that question and thought. How can God expect us to have faith that the bad things he lets happen, happens for a good reason, when in this story he allowed Satan to destroy the life of Job who dedicated his life to God, and was caught in the middle of a bet, and on top of that tell him that he isn't as powerful as God so he shouldn't question him, instead of coming clean and telling him the truth. God gave us a brain with the capabilities of questioning him, and then gets upset if we question him. We don't need to be powerful gods to question him when he does things to his creations that are so clearly not right. Also I'd just like to say I know my arguments go against what you believe in and therefore may come across as disrespectful, that is not my intent. I just like having these discussions with people to see if theres maybe something I missed :)

As abiding Christians when we encounter suffering in our own life could we be experiencing a Job moment or would taking authority in resisting the devil be the solution? I'm going to assume here, like Job, that's it's not our own ignorance or foolishness that's landed us in the suffering.

The material Items, his livestock didn't matter to me but his family it was too hard for me. Yes at the end he blessed him with more children but to make a bet with Satan pissed me off.

[@landonbiblestudy]

Thanks for being so honest. I don't see it as a bet, but I do get where you're coming from. Perhaps that difficulty you described is the point of the book ? That's the way i see it at least. God bless.

[@justinhart7172]

At first it appears that Satan uses God to screw over Job, but then we see that what really happened was God using Job to defeat Satin

[@veezienhamoruhwande99]

God did not make a bet with Satan....He knew who Job was, God knew Job had faith in his works and deeds, not in GOD and He had to let Satan do whatever BUT NOT TO KILL HIM... What we should know is that, GOD IS omniscient, he created us ...meaning he knew us before we weren't even born

Notice that God didn't take Job's wealth and redistribute it to the poor. In fact, in the end, God gave Job twice as much wealth.

🙌🏿 knowing God. 💪🏿

[@yhli2539]

Well there is a lot of good and bad things that happens every day and some of which we do not know why they happened. But we sure do know why bad things happened to Job, because God had a bet to win with Satan. Oh and lets not forget about Job's wife, who suffered too. She lost her children due to this same bet. Most importantly 10 innocent people (along with many of Job's servants) are dead because of a bet. While Job's health was restored in the end, the live of the children nor the servants are restored. Job's servants and childeren are simply replaced by some new kids. Now anyone who has lost a child knows the pain will never leave no matter how many children they have in the future. And what about the pain and suffering the families and friends of these servants are feeling? Did they not have people that loved and would miss them if they died? And all God has to say in return for all this bloodshed and subsequent sorrow is "because I am smater and stronger then you therefore my ways are justice. That does not even make sense, how is that an example of justness???😕

[@landonbiblestudy]

What if the reason God allowed things to happen to Job and his wife was to show hundreds of thousands of Jewish people and Christians the right way to handle suffering ? Or to quote Jeremiah - can the pot say to the potter - why have you made me like this ?

[@yhli2539]

@@landonbiblestudy To indirectly allow suffering to teach a lesson is different from allowing suffering through direct action. For example if Job's servants and children died because of some horrible freak accident that could only been stopped if God stepped in and protected them. For an all knowing God to make a bet with Satan that would result in the deaths of so many people shows a total disregard for human life, a lack of empathy and compassion for the emotional and mental well being of these who lots there love ones..... You are making an assumption that God was trying to teach job and his wife how to handle suffering, if that was the case I am sure God would have included that when he was boasting about his intelligence and power.

[@landonbiblestudy]

From my perspective that was the point of expressing his power It was a large scale minimization of the value of possessions and life and a large scale maximization of the concept and necessity of an awesome God.

[@yhli2539]

@@landonbiblestudy I am sorry but I am not following your logic. What about this story demonstrated a need for a "Good"?

[@ab452]

@@yhli2539 I feel where you come from, I have to preface it by saying that I'm not a christian, but an agnostic that believes that there still space for the existence of god in light of everything that science has taught us along the centuries. This book in the bible is just a great book, but in the end is just a book written by people, even if there was "divinal" inspiration the author was still a person. If there is a god, how do you think we would communicate with you, how would he make you understand complex ideas, you can think about the analogy of us trying to teach a dog how to learn to speak. If there is a creator, he would be in such a higher level that we wouldn't be able to communicate ideas efficiently. So to make us understand we has to tell us stories of things we can relate to, in this particular case a story with things that people from that time in history could relate to. We don't know if Job even existed, probably it never happened, the morals embedded is what you should be discussing. Do you admire Job? I think any reasonable person would, he remained loyal and just until the end, he wanted to understand why, but even if god would tell him, we wouldn't be able to understand it. So, what is left for us to do in this life in the face of uncertainty, suffering and misfortune? Live your life in justice, be correct, be loyal, do not despair in fear and trust that God is by your side, that you're listened to, and not forgotten. To answer your direct questions about the suffering of those characters in the bible, do you think those stories happened? Or do you think that it is just a story to make us understand and feel things, in my opinion this is a fictional tale, nobody suffered, but us during the reading as we identified with the characters, that is purpose of the imagery and narrative of the book Job.​

[@exmateria1]

Why do bad things happen? Well in the case of job it was all a petty bet to preserve gods pride.

[@landonbiblestudy]

that’s one way of looking at it - but the ending of the book serves as a choice - can you accept that there is a being greater than you who understands more than you do and makes decisions greater than you can comprehend ?

[@exmateria1]

@@landonbiblestudy but we are told it is literally because of a bet. And his children are simply pawns for god to prove a point. Did god think that letting job know it was a bet would overwhelm his feeble little brain? I bet it wouldn’t (hah bet pun) I mean you can look at it from an angle that ignores the whole thing about betting but don’t you think at that point your just bending the story towards your preconceived notions of what you want the story to mean? I think this just means that the writer of this book was on some holy religious herb and made some contradictory sections while under the herbal influence. Just my opinion.

Great video pastor. Id like to say, the books of wisdom are almost impossible to translate. reading them in the original Hebrew is the only way to really understand the message. Job specifically is very difficult, when i read it in Hebrew i can feel how ancient it is - its difficult to convey this unless Hebrew is your first language. just by reading a few words you can see that this is genesis level ancient. Every Christian studying the old testament must make an effort to study the original texts at least once in their life, its difficult but remember - its the language of Jesus himself. I think its the best way to connect with your own beliefs. Good luck mates

Interesting view, but saying that Satan is portrayed as the evil enemy is wrong.

All things were created through Him and for Him." It was Jesus speaking from the whirlwind!

[@profmuesse]

The issue of the book is not "why do bad things happen?" but "why do bad things happen to Job?" Job is not Everyman. And the answer to that question is not at all a mystery; Job does not lack wisdom to understand it. The book is perfectly clear: Job suffers is because Jehovah made a bet with the devil, wagering Job's well-being (and the lives of many innocent creatures) to score a point with an adversary. God's tirade about Job's lack of understanding that comes late in the book is merely so much bluster to frighten Job into silence and submission. Why doesn't God just tell him the truth, when the truth is evident to the reader? His reticence suggests that God is rather ashamed of what he has done, and perhaps with good reason. It is Job, not Jehovah, who is the moral hero of this text.

God was really cruel to Job for no real reason and compensates him children by another children which is a psychopatic thinking of swapping one people with another ; almost like items.

Hey Karol, Let me explain why I disagree. God is the giver of life and He can do whatever he pleases - we see things through a human lens and one of the points of Job is to see that God does what He does in complete righteousness and holiness and we get to choose if we trust him or not.

[@sunilthescienceguy8059]

Pastor Landon ummm no. Because the very things that god comes down to say unto job at the end, are all things we know very well. Job 38:4-6 we know that the earth was formed billions of years ago when cooling debris cane together to form earth. 38:8 we know that water vapor remained as a gas in earths cooling atmosphere until it was < 100 degrees C and cane down as rain and created oceans. We can continue but no, I don’t accept that god knows more things because he repeatedly asks questions we can answer.

Fighting Leviathan, With a Puny Wooden Sword! Fighting Leviathan, With a Puny Wooden Sword! By Robert Winkler Burke Book #8 of In That Day Teachings Copyright 5/25/11 www.inthatdayteachings.com Notes from Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Dictionary: “The book of Job is not only one of the most remarkable in the Bible, but in literature. As was said of Goliath’s sword, ‘There is none like it,’ none in ancient or in modern literature.” - Kitto. “A book which will one day, perhaps, be seen towering up alone far above all the poetry of the world.” - J. A. Froude. Nelson’s comments say that the true identity of who wrote Job has remained throughout time: a mystery. “Do not break the person, break his desire to attack you. Provide the illusion that your opponent still has control, but make sure he does not.” - Mikhail Ryabko, Russian Martial Art Systema Master I must not hurt huge Leviathan, As it swoops down on me! Dragon’s flame kills and maims, I’ll soon be history! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! Yet, I must not hurt Leviathan, Its skin is tough and brittle! His pride is ridiculous big, And I am less than little! We fight for hours, Oh, we fight for days on end! Then, when it’s over, The beast gets up again! My puny wooden sword damages it not, I’m like a grasshopper against a giant! Then it lays down, coughs up its heart, Upon its tongue, now on me: reliant! Leviathan now relies on me, To treat its heart with care! No longer enemies, but fast friends, I approach on God’s dare! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! With my too-small wooden sword, I walk into the danger zone, such biting teeth of dread! To the heart, now on the tongue, I gently touch my sword, out gush bright drops of red! From the sword come good drops, Of God’s ancient-wisdom self-sacrifice, Then Beast wakes up changed, Swallows heart and renews its old vice! Cruelly taking advantage of my nearness, Leviathan scorches me in full-blown rage! I fight him off again with wooden sword, Behold! Beast doth weaken! says my Page. For my Page greatly knows what’s going on, Not long ago, HE was THE bad Leviathan! You see, we fought for years! Way too long! His dual was an excruciating marathon! But after a thousand drops from God’s cross, My Page was, of Beast, set free! Now he’s learning to be God’s Man-of-War, Who fights evil, just like me! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! After days and months and years, My Page and I have succeeded! Leviathan whom we fought, Is full humble now: defeated! My Page has become a Swordsman, That Leviathan: HIS own Page, I have left off sword for pen, That you understand this age! So then, pride of religion and its blinding selfish-rigidness, Is killing man! Just as loving kindness, humility, patience and flexibility, Kills Leviathan! Job learned this In That Day, Of his: long ago! Now we must all learn the same! You do not know? Holy flexibility, Is where Christ-in-You is at! You’ll remember the fight, When the Rigid lose all that! You’ll remember the fight, When, as rigid Leviathan, you with great enmity: hated your betters! Who took your blows nobly, And with kind, wooden, bloody swords, removed your blind fetters. How you’ll hate that forgiving blood of Jesus, Applied drops at a time on your stony heart! Until you see it is not the end, But the Christ-in-You: Page-Warrior start! You’ll then, Rigid Ones, be on the, Other side of the sword! You’ll say, as Job did, I repent! In dust and ashes, Lord! And if you were particularly mean, And hurtful to your dear-brave Warrior-Savior, God will give you a willow-wimpy sword, To fight Leviathan, inside of your neighbor! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me!

I shall not return evil for evil, From proud, religiously-rigid man, He may hurt me, but me never: him, He’ll get what I have in me: I AM! The great I AM, Wants to live in us all! In That Day it’s, A strange work: yet not small! It’s a BIG thing, When Leviathan pride dies! And Christ-in-You, Trumpets: loud victory cries!

I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! You might ask me, where did I learn all this? That it’s a pride-fight and that Leviathan isn’t a dinosaur true! I learned it by reading the Book of Job, From the Warrior-Prophet, not a Page, whose name is Elihu! This great, but young, Warrior-Prophet, Had heard so much talk of churchy-religious pride, Elihu wrote all of Job’s book, Yet pride in work: egoless, he did prodigious hide! Elihu hid his authorship, And prophetic voice with Job! That following Workmen, Would put this in their brain’s globe… Religious-Pride is Leviathan! (It’s a smallish issue with beginners!) Leviathan is Religious-godly-Pride! (Clericalism makes biggest sinners!) I write this, as your proud author, Oops! That beast is hard to hide! Where is my bent, old wooden sword? God, I lay my heart upon my swag tongue! Knowledge puffeth me up… in pride, Touch me now, oh blood of God’s Son! Oh, woe is me! Oh, woe is me! I have but a wooden sword! From the cross, that victory tree, Of Christ, my humble Lord! But you protest, Only Jesus! Jesus alone! He alone (ALONE!) is your Savior!

[@lauterunvollkommenheit4344]

This book is, even by OT standards, absolutely terrible. It depicts God as a heartless monster. In my opinion, the low point is when at the end, God gives Job seven new children as a reward, as if children were replaceable. Unbelievable.

[@landonbiblestudy]

Hey Lauter, Your comment is one of the subjects of the book - can man understand God's ways ? And God gave Job 10 children, not that that would change your point of course - which I think is a fair one, except it does not seem to take into consideration heaven and eternity - wherein Job is reunited with all of his children. I suppose one of the questions of Job is - can you accept God's ways even if they don't make sense ?

[@lauterunvollkommenheit4344]

@@landonbiblestudy Of course, you're right: Job got ten new children from God. I didn't take eternity into consideration because the book doesn't either, probably because Jews at that time didn't yet believe in it (as you obviously know). Job explicitly says that there's nothing after death. But even if there is, how do you know he was reunited with his children? Am I missing something? For me, the question is: do you really believe that God would make an innocent person suffer, and others die just because he made a bet with the Satan? "For no reason", as He himself says?
