Angelina StanfordHOST
This is what Tolkien's talking about in On Fairy Stories when he says that fantasy gives you recovery, right? We're recovering our ability to see.
Angelina StanfordHOST
I also had to laugh at the end to myself because you had been saying that this is the Book of Job, and at the end it becomes very clear.
Angelina StanfordHOST
Were you there in the beginning when I did these things?
speaker_0NARRATOR
Very,
Angelina StanfordHOST
very Book of Job.
Angelina StanfordHOST
Totally saw that.
Angelina StanfordHOST
Just
Addison HornstraGUEST
so much of the book of Job and so much of the book of Isaiah.
SophiaHOST
But the Bible doesn't teach us that every painful experience is a punishment for a particular sin.
SophiaHOST
No. We're going to study the book of Job, okay? And Job's friends repeatedly assumed that his suffering must have resulted from wrongdoing.
SophiaHOST
But the book challenges that assumption, okay? Like, when we read Job, it...
SophiaHOST
It's not, what happens to him isn't because of consequences of his actions, no.
Jenn KokalHOST
And actually, we just talked about this yesterday on the podcast.
Jenn KokalHOST
It's so funny how the book of 1 and 2 Peter is lining up so perfectly with the book of Job right now.
Jenn KokalHOST
But we talked about how these people called the Bereans ended up searching through the scriptures to make sure that the teachings of Paul were accurate.
Jenn KokalHOST
And they were considered to be noble individuals for doing that.
17 MINS LATER
Jenn KokalHOST
So we have to be on guard against that kind of stuff.
Jenn KokalHOST
Faithful listeners, have a fantastic and wonderful rest of your Tuesday.
Jenn KokalHOST
I'll see you guys tomorrow morning, bright and early, for an episode in Job, where Job responds to his friend Bildad.
Jenn KokalHOST
Hope to see all of you faithful listeners then.
Hunter BarnesHOST
taking some time in the Old and New Testament, taking some time to pray, taking a little time to reflect.
Hunter BarnesHOST
And today we are going to start in the book of Job, chapter 18.
Hunter BarnesHOST
Then we go on to Psalm 114.
Hunter BarnesHOST
And we'll finish in the book of Acts, chapters 27 and 28.
Matthew EfirdGUEST
We knew that very early on.
Matthew EfirdGUEST
And we looked at Job's life, right? If you've read scripture in the Old Testament, the book of Job, unbelievable story of suffering and how God carries people through suffering.
Matthew EfirdGUEST
At many times, horrendous.
Matthew EfirdGUEST
But there's a part in Job's story where he says, even though you slay me, yet will I praise you.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
In other words, man is of a variable nature, and the human soul can be affected either positively, to make it higher than the celestial spheres and more ethereal, or to make it lower than the celestial spheres and become corrupted.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
This is borne by the book of Job, chapter 15, where it says, "'Hein bikdoshav lo ya'amin,' that God doesn't even fully have faith in his holy ones, referring to his angels, and the heavens also are not completely pure in God's eyes.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
So certainly that would be true of the sinner who is despised by God because of his sins.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
Such a person is even on a lower level than the celestial bodies.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
And like the Mitzvah David says in his commentary, he says when a person acts deplorably, then certainly he's on even a lower level than the heavens.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
This confirms my thesis that the human soul bears similarity to the ethereal nature of the celestial spheres, since otherwise scripture would not have made these comparisons.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
Furthermore, the two verses that we quoted above, the one about the righteous souls, from the Book of Daniel and the other one about the bad souls from the Book of Job, this demonstrates further what King Solomon was referring to when he said about the soul, ha'olahi l'maylah ha-yaredati l'mata.
Daniel KorobkinHOST
Even though he was really contrasting the human soul with the animal soul, but it also is actually descriptive of two states of the human soul itself.
PerezVOICE_ACTOR
Let's hear it.
LilyVOICE_ACTOR
Okay, my favorite text is found in the book of Job, chapter 5, verse 19.
LilyVOICE_ACTOR
Here's what it says.
LilyVOICE_ACTOR
From six calamities, he will rescue you.
Martin ShieldsGUEST
So it's a big book and it has a lot to say.
Martin ShieldsGUEST
And I am not going to answer all the questions about the book of Job tonight.
Martin ShieldsGUEST
You should be relieved about that because the...
Martin ShieldsGUEST
If you do think I'm going on a bit long at some point, just remember the alternative was for me to read my entire book to you and we would have been here for a couple of weeks.
Martin ShieldsGUEST
So setting expectations, I want to give you sort of an overview, a bird's eye view of the book, and we want to focus perhaps on what I think is the most important lesson to draw from it.
Martin ShieldsGUEST
So let's see how we go.
Martin ShieldsGUEST
I reckon that most sermons on the book of Job begin with a story of a horrible disaster, terrible circumstances that have happened either to the person speaking or to someone they know or to someone in history.
Martin ShieldsGUEST
And you can understand why, right? Because that's the way the book of Job starts.
Ryan OgrodowiczGUEST
A pleasure as always to be with you.
Timothy AppelHOST
As we get started today, Pastor, remind us where we are in the book of Job, what the conversation has been thus far.
Ryan OgrodowiczGUEST
Yeah, sure.
Ryan OgrodowiczGUEST
So Bildad is the second, I'll put friend in air quotes, to speak to Job.
10 MINS LATER
Ryan OgrodowiczGUEST
Even when a hurricane rips through the town, you lose all your children in a tragedy, God is still just, even when it looks like the wicked are prospering.
Ryan OgrodowiczGUEST
And that's important for Christians to hold on to, that just because you see one thing in the world, how things are unfolding, that is not the baseline we use to judge God, who he is and how he acts and operates, which is what Bildad is doing here.
Timothy AppelHOST
Yeah, I think verse 3, the second thing that Bildad says, is the key question for the entire chapter and for much of the book of Job.
Timothy AppelHOST
Job is full of these loaded questions that are often intended in rhetorical ways, but I think are really important for us to think through.
Tumi MorabaHOST
This is not negative at all.
Tumi MorabaHOST
The book of Job, Job 23 and 8.
Tumi MorabaHOST
If I go east, he's not there.
Tumi MorabaHOST
If I go west, I cannot perceive him.
