  • Expositional Notes on Job / Dr. Thomas M. Strouse
    Expositional Notes on Job / Dr. Thomas M. Strouse Expositional Notes on Job OT 515 Dr. Thomas M. Strouse INTRODUCTION About four thousand years ago one of the godliest men of all time suffered horrendous afflictions to force the contemplation of several weighty subjects. These subjects include the questions of why do the righteous suffer and can man fully comprehend the purposes of God.1 Further, it posits the supposition that all suffering must be due to sin and what responses must come from man because of this conclusion. Also, what about the prosperity of the wicked and where do chastisement and repentance enter into this discussion? These and other issues come from the Book of Job and require deep theological considerations which ultimately focus around the unrighteous suffering of the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ (cf. I Pet. 3:18).2 In Him, and Him alone can there be any redemptive sense made from the queries produced by Job. The brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, James, gave the divinely inspired commentary on the Book of Job, saying, “Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy” (Jam. 5:11). James enjoined patience on the saints of God, following the example of Job who prefigured the Lord Jesus’ unrighteous suffering, and who experienced the “end” (te,loj) of the Lord,3 the double blessing, because of the full of pity4 and tender mercy of God. In spite of its obvious antiquity, the Book of Job nevertheless must be plumbed by modern man in order to know the nature and significance of life.

    Job 35-37 – Summary Thoughts See Dr Ruckman’s commentary The Book of Job pp 489-527 and the Ruckman Reference Bible pp 542-543, 741, 762-765, 813, 819, 865, 1061, 1067, 1403-1404, 1602, 1617 on “the poor” Job 36:6, 1655-1656 for detailed comment. Elihu “I will answer thee” Job 35:4 gavinortlund.com/2011/10/14/elihu/ 2 Job 35:1-8 “I will answer thee” Job 35:4 Elihu has answers for Job in the form of rhetorical questions. Whatever the perception of Elihu’s answers, they are scripture and so should be addressed: Self-righteousness is thoughtless, unreasonable and wrong. “Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?” Job 35:2. Isaiah and Paul agree. “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags…” Isaiah 64:6. “...for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one” Romans 3:9-10. Self-righteousness ends in despair and indifference to God. “For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?” Job 35:3. Isaiah answers by stating the end of sin. “…and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away” Isaiah 64:6 like dead leaves. God answers by declaring the profit from sin’s cleansing. “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon...For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands” Isaiah 55:7, 12.

  • Commemorating the Nameless Wives of the Bible: Midrashic Poems by Contemporary American-Jewish Women
    religions Article Commemorating the Nameless Wives of the Bible: Midrashic Poems by Contemporary American-Jewish Women Anat Koplowitz-Breier Comaprative Literature Department, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan 5290002, Israel; [email protected] Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 15 July 2020; Published: 17 July 2020 Abstract: A proper name individualizes a person, the lack of it making him or her less noticeable. This insight is apt in regard to the nameless women in the Hebrew Bible, a resolutely androcentric work. As Judaism traditionally barred women from studying, many Jewish feminists have sought access to the Jewish canon. Much of American-Jewish women’s poetry can thus be viewed as belonging to the midrashic-poetry tradition, attempting to vivify the biblical women by “revisioning” the Bible. This article examines two nameless wives who, although barely noted in the biblical text, play a significant role in their husbands’ stories—Mrs. Noah and Mrs. Job. Although numerous exegetes have noted them across history, few have delved into their emotions and characters. Exploration of the way in which contemporary Jewish-American poets treat these women and connect them to their own world(s) is thus of great interest to both modern and biblical scholars. Herein I focus on five poets: Elaine Rose Glickman (“Parashat Noach”), Barbara D. Holender (“Noah’s Wife,” and “Job’s Wife”), Oriana Ivy (“Mrs. Noah,” and “Job’s Wife”), Shirley Kaufman (“Job’s Wife”), and Sherri Waas Shunfenthal (“Noah’s Wife Speaks,” “The Animals are our Friends,” “Time,” and “Arc of Peace”). Keywords: literary midrash; American-Jewish poetry; women’s poetry; biblical women characters; Noah’s wife; Job’s wife 1.

For our sermon today, we are taking a bit of he hadn’t done anything wrong. “It’s not fair!” a break from our series in Acts to meet Jemimah. Not the CCH What made it even worse was that all his friends gave him a hard Jemima who we have already met, but the Jemimah in the Bible, time and said he was guilty, that’s why God was punishing him. But found here in Job 42. he wasn’t guilty, and they got a right telling off from God at the end. “It’s not fair!” When I asked Jemima’s Dad why they chose the name Jemima, he said it was because they liked the name Jemima Puddleduck from Perhaps someone here today can relate to Job’s story. You’ve been the Beatrix Potter books! Well I think this Jemimah gives us an treated really badly at home or at school or at work for something additional reason why it’s such a brilliant name! Not because she you didn’t do. “It’s not fair!”.

  • JOB LESSON 1 the Book of Job Is an Interesting Story of a Man Who Loves
    JOB LESSON 1 The book of Job is an interesting story of a man who loves God very much, and yet, is severely tested to see if he will remain loyal. There is much controversy over exactly when the facts in this book happened, if they ever happened at all. There are those who believe that Job is nothing more than a parable that we might learn from. There are others who believe the events in Job occurred during the exile. Most scholars agree that it is, possibly, some of the oldest writings. In this book, we can see the evidence of Satan working to destroy man. He accuses Job in the presence of God. It is a book of loyalty to God on Job's part. It is, also, a book of almost endless endurance in the face of great stress. We will, also, see that in some of our darkest hours, the battle must be our own. Job's wife tried to get Job to curse God and die. Job's friends were no encouragement at all. We may, also, learn from this that suffering is not always brought on by sins in our lives. It may be to strengthen us, as it did Job in this book. This deals with the question of why do good people suffer? Job was being accused unjustly by Satan for following God for what he could get out of him. We, also, see the great love that God bestows upon those who are faithful to the end. I personally believe that Job was a real man, with real problems.

  • The International Order of Job's Daughters
    THE INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF JOB’S DAUGHTERS “And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job, and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.” Job 42:15 (Holy Bible) ~ A Brief Biographical Sketch ~ Lora Brown – Rooftop Ministries The International Order of Job’s Daughters is one of many Concordant Masonic (Co‐Masonic) orders created for the teenage children of Masons, the three other most popular being the International Order of Rainbow for Girls, DeMolay (for boys), and Daughters of the Eastern Star. Job’s Daughters was founded in Omaha, Nebraska, USA, on May 27, 1921, by Mrs. Ethel T. Wead Mick, who was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star (probably the most popular of the many Co‐Masonic orders for women). She wrote the original Job’s Daughters Ritual. The current JD Ritual, Constitution and By‐Laws of the Order were written by a Mason named LeRoy T. Wilcox. Job’s Daughters is the only international organization for girls that requires all of its members to have a close relationship (natural, legal or marital) to a Master Mason. While Job’s Daughters is not part of the Masonic Fraternity, this pre‐requisite ties it closely to the Masonic Order. Girls ages 11‐20 with a Masonic relative are eligible for membership. A Candidate must believe in a supreme being, the Ten Commandments and the Lord’s Prayer and possess good moral character. A girl may pledge membership at age 9. The Order is based upon the life of Job, as told in the Holy Bible.

  • Job Chapter 42
    Job Chapter 42 Verses 1-6: Job’s confession and repentance took place finally. He still did not know why he suffered so profoundly, but he was done complaining, questioning and challenging God’s wisdom and justice. He was reduced to such utter humility, crushed beneath the weight of God’s greatness, that all he could do was repent for his insolence. Without answers to all of these questions, Job quietly bowed in humble submission before his Creator and admitted that God was sovereign (Isa. 14:24; 46:8-11). Most importantly for the message of the book, Job was still diseased and without his children and possessions, and God had not changed anything (except for the humbling of the heart of His servant). Satan had been proven completely wrong in the charges he brought against Job and in thinking he could destroy true saving faith; Job’s companions were completely wrong in the charges they brought against him, but most critically, Job himself was completely wrong in the charges he had raised against God. He expressed his own sorrowful regret that he had not just accept God’s will without such ignorant complaints and questions. The point of all of God’s questions was not lost on Job: he has a new awareness of the wisdom of God’s hidden plans, a new sense of the limits of his own wisdom, and a new sensitivity to his own sin. He admits that his has been a limited perspective, and he totally submits to God’s will and authority. Jobs second response is one of complete submission to the sovereignty of God.

IPart I, THE OLDEST LESSON IN THE WORLD. part 2, A RHYTHMICAL TRANSLATION, WITH The Structure ; AND Brief, Explanatory, and Critical Notes. ^j. E. W. BULLINGEE, D.D. EYRE & SPOTTISWOODE, 33, Paternoster Row, E.G. ^< H'3 /903 PREFACE Few Books of the Bible have received more attention than the Book of Job ; both as to translations and as to commentaries. The Apocalypse, perhaps, exceeds it ; because of its relation to the future, in which we are naturally more interested. The Book of Job carries us back to the remote past, and contains the oldest lesson in the world. It is significant that this oldest book should be devoted to imparting that knowledge, in comparison with which all other knowledge sinks into insignifi- cance. It is the lesson which is essential to our having peace with God for Time, and to our enjoying the peace of God for Eternity. In the first part of this work we have endeavoured to set this forth ; and in the Second Part we have given a new translation^ concerring which a few words are necessary. No apology is needed for adding one more to the many excellent presentations of the Book of Job : because there are six points which make this to differ from all previous translations ; and which, taken together, make the present effort quite distinctive in its character.
