When i was unable to access CF for 6 days, i found myself delving into the Book of Job again. In my searching for studies on Job, i came across this series of videos teaching on, of all things, Job!!!
As i began to listen, i knew God had just sent me a "gift". This video in particular delves into the "keys" to understanding Job, one of the most diss-understood and maligned men of God and the Book wherein lies his testimony, which is also one of the most miss-understood books of the Bible.
Give it a listen. Listen carefully for the "keys" that "un-lock" the mystery to understanding this man of God, Job and why God described Job as He did in the very beginning of this treasure of a Book.
"The Book of Job - Chapter 2" Bible Study at Faithful Word Baptist Church - YouTube
Jesus's parables are a lot like "keys"God's "keys" un-lock treasures that cannot be measured. His "keys" are found all throughout His Word from beginning to end. Each "key" like a puzzle piece, fits together, forming a picture that weaves into a tapestry of God's "testimony" of Who He is and the "testimony" of the Godly men who testified of Him. There is a common "theme" found in each Godly man, found in key words used to describe them.
We are to "dig" for those keys.

.......an interesting key here "perseverance of Job". There's a complete sermon and/or series of studies in just those three words. A treasure. Thank you for highlighting it.

Usually, when the story of the rich man and Lazarus is considered, its setting is ignored................
Against this background of biting criticism Jesus stood and gave the teachings found in chapters fifteen and sixteen of Luke. There are five stories which follow consecutively. It is well known, of course, that chapters and verses were not in the original scriptures. We are at liberty to change them when they do not synchronize with other scripture. Any arrangement of chapter and verse division that clarifies or harmonizes other scripture, is more authoritative than that division that beclouds other statements of the Bible. At the beginning of Jesus’ discourse in chapter fifteen of Luke the statement is made that “He spoke this parable unto them, saying,” (Lk. 15:3). The Greek is very definite in making the word for parable clearly a singular noun. It is “the parable this..” This statement is followed by five separate stories, the first of which is the story of the lost sheep, and the last is the story of the rich man and Lazarus. You see, the teaching in chapter sixteen is but the continuation of the discourse in chapter fifteen, without interruption.
Now, which of the five stories He gave them in this sermon was called a parable? The only one of the five which is prefaced by the claim, “And He spoke this parable unto them,” was the story about the lost sheep. Was the lost sheep the only one that could be called a parable? And yet, any preacher or believer that I know will answer that the story of the lost coin, as well as the prodigal son, were also parables. Then why was the singular used - “this parable”? It should be clear to any thinking mind that all these stories were ONE PARABLE, like the facets of a diamond, as they turn each scintillates with new brilliance. Each was illustrating a view point of one great truth, and together they compose a whole.
And this parabolic discourse of Jesus is continued into chapter sixteen of Luke, including the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The truth is that all five stories are each a fractional part of the complete parable, and when we read, “He spoke this parable unto them,” this embraces the entire collection of symbol-pictures which in their completeness constituted the parable which He spoke. It is a careless assumption and an unfounded assertion to argue that the story of the rich man and Lazarus is not a parable!

It seems that when Job was restored, he then abandoned his worldly ways, including marriage, perhaps? This is addressing the spiritual side of Job's life, and how he then might have seen God as his Bride-groom, meaning that he no longer found any abundance in the worldly life that he once lived. He became a devoted follower and an upright man after living upside-down for a long while.
I believe that we may see relevance in the prophecy about the days of Noah, and in this last-day, when they were marrying, and giving in marriage. IMO, the world's marriage laws oppose that of God's laws and statutes, and this might explain that Job's family might have also left him, as they might have not liked what he had become.
The world hates the believer, even the men whom have turned back to God and lost their wives and families, and all that they once had in this world. It was also a testing of Job when God sent wrath upon him, just to prove Satan wrong!
The Bible also says that when Christ comes again, He will turn many families against one another, as He did not come to bring peace but to harvest a remnant of believers, and they were separated like the tares from the wheat.
Then, those who are of alike minds are also gathered together, each one to his father, being either the Father in heaven or the father of lies. Thanks
And thank you for your post about Eliphaz, and the thread, it was edifying.
Interesting. Thank you for your response. Can you share how it is that Job, as described in the last part of the book, had sons and daughters?
Thank you kindly.

It's then likely that it's differentiating the two, one carnal-natural family and then the spiritual family. Even as I believe it was Christ who said that the believers are then his brothers, sisters, and mothers. There are two families to compare, that of our naturally born flesh, and that of our born again spirit. This may be the case. If there are any specific scripture references in question, please post them so that we are talking of the same line, just in case we are not. If this is your thread then, why did you not address this or mention it in contrast in your first post? Thanks
