WHAT IS THE LESSON OF THE BOOK OF JOB ?

Most think that the lesson of the book of Job is one of the following or some combination;  learn to trust GOD even when we cannot understand HIM, or to learn aboutGODS authority, GOD reveales HIMSELF through our suffering, to explain how GOD is good while there is so much evil, explaining why bad things happen to good people and patience in the faith in adversity.

Job was a man who feared GOD and shunned evil and was while under the law seen as blameless.  Job 1:1  It is very obvious that Job was under the law because he offered sacrifices and viewed himself as righteous.  Job went as far as to think his supposed righteousness would ever cover his children.  Job 1:4,5   This was Jobs belief and practice but as a Christians should know it is not the faith of the new covenant.  Notice that GOD is the one who brings up Job to Satan, Job 1:8 ,  as a result Satan challenges GOD to test Job and Satan is convinced Job would curse GOD.  GOD gives Job into Satans hands,  Job 1:12 , with a condition that Satan must not lay a hand on Job himself.   Verses Job 1:13,14,15,16,17,18,19  are what Satan did but Job said, Job:1:20,21,22 

Again Satan came before GOD and this time was allowed to strike Job himself.  Job2:3,4,5,6  the only condition was to not kill Job.  Job did not sin with what he said but what might had been in his thoughts ?  Chapter 3 begins with Job giving himself a pity party, chapter 4 gives us our first hint of Jobs problem,  Job 4:17,18,19 .  Job resented what he believed to be GODS unjust punishment of him ,  Job 5:1,2  Job is yet maintaining his righteousness and rebukes his friends for lack of understanding, support or help.  Job 6:26,27,28,29,30  After a lot of conversation,  Job 9:1,2,3 ,  Job believes his righteousness was sure but in his mind wonders what he can do to to defend himself with GOD. Job 9:12,13,14,15,16  Job thinks GOD is unjust,  Job 9:21,22,23,24  Job 10:1,2,3   Job 12:4

Job continues for quite a while in self pity, Job 19:5,6,8,9,21,22   This is a very poor attitude by Job.  Bildads comments begin to hit on Jobs real problem.  Job 25:1,2,3,4,5,6  Job yet continues to defend himself.  Job 27:1,2,3,4,5,6  these are the words of a law keeper totally destitute of knowledge.  Finally Jobs friends stopped the conversation because, Job 32:1   Then the youngest, Elihu,  begins to speak. Job 32:1,2,3

Job 33:8,9,10,11,12  Elihu sums up Jobs problem. Job 34:5,6,7,8,9  Job 34:33,35,36,37   Job thought that through his law keeping and sacrificing he was righteous and this entire story is about a man who discovers that only GOD is righteous and only by faith and grace will the Almighty be pleased.  After going round and round finally GOD  answers Job.  Job 38:2,36  Job 40:1,2,6,7,8

Finally Job sees his folly, he repents, he understands that his righteousness is from GOD not the law.  Job 42:1,2,3,4,5,6   So then, the truth of the story of Job is basically the story of a law oriented man who GOD used Satan and his friends and last HIS own words to convert Job to make Job a Christian.  

CASTING LOTS

 

Casting lots was practiced mostly by people being led the spirit of YAHWEH but did not yet have that spirit or in cases where the decision was extremely dependent on YAHWEH and this practice ended with the giving of the spirit of YAHWEH on Pentecost.  Prior to Pentecost the disciples were led by the spirit to cast lots to find a replacement for Judas.  Notice, they did not vote, the casting of the lots would determine who would be the replacement.  Casting lots was done to eliminate human reasoning and turn any decisions over to YAHWEH. The faith they had was that YAHWEH would cause the lot to fall in accordance with HIS will.  Not all casting of lots was GODLY as when the Roman soldiers cast lots for the garment of Jesus but it is easy to tell the difference.  Joshua divided the inheritance of the tribes by casting lots ,  Joshua 18:10 and in this way YAHWEH made the decision that was free from human bias.  This was not gambling but faith in YAHWEH to trust YAHWEHS will.    When Christ and Barabbas were the choice, the people did not cast lots but rather voted by vocal announcement and later when asked by Pilate what to do with Jesus they voted again in the same manner, they made their voices heard, rule by the will of the people. Sound familiar?

After the spirit was given to true Christians on Pentecost the practice of casting lots ended because now the saints had contact with YAHWEH through Jesus and YAHWEH would teach them through Jesus.  In some false churches today a church board or the congregation votes on the hiring of a pastor or the business of the church.  Catholics vote on who the pope will be.  In the true church, in all things, the spirit of YAHWEH is the only and final authority . One example is, Acts 13:2,3  Voting is human will, casting lots is YAHWEHS will and the inspiration of the spirit of YAHWEH is HIS will.  

Casting lots was a means to ensure that human bias did not interfere with the choice thereby preserving the integrity and divine nature of the decision. This is a practice that all of the false churches should be doing rather than voting because if they were to place trust in YAHWEH rather than men it would show some small amount of faith and that if YAHWEH chose to would convert them.  Matthew 13:15   However I would not hold my breath on that.

I have shown here how men in the past sought YAHWEHS will and that the idea of voting is never seen.  The elect saints put their faith in YAHWEH that all things will eventually work out for good even those things that presently are evil.  Unconverted people are intentionally left in that state to prevent them from committing the unpardonable sin. Only those YAHWEH has known in eternity that would have their names in the book of life from the foundation of the world will YAHWEH choose because YAHWEH is not willing that any should perish but rather come to repentance.  Do not worry about your unconverted loved ones because YAHWEH has not forgotten them and will teach them in the millennium and second resurrection.  Yes there will be some who do commit the unpardonable sin but I believe compared to all of humanity that number will be few.  Anyway, don’t vote, don’t cast lots but rely on YAHWEH and HIS son in everything.

TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE THAT IS THE QUESTION

 

There is no command in scripture to vote or not vote. There is no law in the U.S. requiring you to vote.  If GOD controls the appointments of all human leaders and nothing can stop HIS will, then why vote , as GODS WILL IS DONE.  The reason Paul gave for obeying the government was so that we could live safely and peacefully in some level of prosperity.  This cannot be used to say, hey Christians go vote.  The rejection of GOD as king by Israel was not something GOD approved of, but GOD would let them reap what they sowed.  The history of Israel testifies as to their eventual demise.

How do we square the fact that Satan is the god of this world with YAHWEH controlling who the leaders are ?  This appears to be a problem.  This world is carnal and under the sway of Satan because YAHWEH wills it to be.  Adam gave up the dominion YAHWEH gave him to Satan when he disobeyed YAHWEH and with knowledge obeyed Satan.  The history of humanity from that day until now is one of suffering and death.  This is the fruit of the world and by their fruits you will know them.  Participating in both human and Godly governments at the same time is a problem.  GOD allows Satan to rule this world and in that way HE is still in charge because GOD does draw lines on rare occasions to prevent Satan from doing what is yet to be fulfilled in the future, to keep HIS prophets words relevant.  

It is said that voting is a matter of personal conscience but in these last days that conscience has been seared with a hot iron 1 Timothy 4:1,2  and unfortunately this has found its way into false Christianity that is in the world to a degree.  Voting, politics and human governance is a system that GOD will destroy .  When a Christian is praying to YAHWEH , for the leadership they happen to be under in this world, it is only so that they are not hindered by an evil person from living peacefully and quietly in some level of prosperity.  This has nothing to do with voting and putting faith in human government but rather placing faith in GOD to protect us from the evil that the world does. John 17:15  Who knows the true intents of the heart and is able to make the correct choice, you by voting or YAHWEH , who controls  Satan  that places human leaders of government ?  I hope it can be seen that voting is useless if GOD is indeed in control and that we can do nothing.  

Another thing to consider.  Only GODS elect are true Christians and those who make the claim to be Christians are liars.  You should know that it is a biblical truth that the peoples of this world are the children of the devil, their father is the the devil. 1 John 3:10 When there is an election both candidates are the devils child.  Either way you vote you are voting for a child of Satan.  Also consider, did GOD appoint Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, Moa Zedong, Kim Jong Un, Adolf Hitler and many other evil despots to power ?  GOD allows Satan to appoint these and all governments and their leaders. Was GOD pleased that people rejected HIM as their King ?   In GODS eyes Harris is no different than Trump, neither one is a Christian and both children of the devil.  

As a Christian you are to be an ambassador, a representative of a foreign country of which you are to be a citizen , a heavenly country.  You are not to be of this world or any of its countries. We are like Abraham who will be the heir of the world but dwelt as a stranger or pilgrim in the land of promise.  What did Abraham seek, a heavenly country, a city whose builder and maker is GOD.  There is a tremendous conflict of interest here that voters do not see and some refuse to see.  Patriotism is a religion, the pledge of allegiance to a nation that you love and place your obedience, faith, hope and trust in. If you are a Christian your allegiance is to GOD only.  Voting attempts to divide that allegiance between GODS government and human government .  Ambassadors do not vote in the nation that they are in and in the case of a Christian that is this entire world.  I am fully aware that 99.99% of all people on this Earth will reject what I have written here and label me as Satanic, say I am condemning people, falsely judging, think I am better than them when all I have done is show you what the scriptures plainly say.  Voters want to fit in, they don’t want to endure any persecution or suffer as Christ did. It is the same thing as not keeping pagan days or holy days of the law that brought persecution to the early Christians.  Christ had a single purpose, to do the will of GOD and we should be of his mind.  Philippians 3:19,20,21   Isaiah 26:13   Luke 9:23  

If you were to google the question, “What can Christians learn from Israel’s rejection of GOD as their king” ,  you will actually see the meaning of 1 Corinthians 10:11,12  and though the rejection of GOD as king is not listed in the examples given it nonetheless is an example .  By rejecting GOD as king Israel violated the covenant they had made with GOD. Exodus 24:7  Just as Israel rejected GOD as king there is a warning to Christians that they should not make the same mistake. 1 Corinthians 10:11 Both Israel and the church already had GOD as their king but both wanted to be like the other nations to fit into the world, to be of the world. This was a part of the the falling away Paul spoke about. 2 Timothy 4:3,4

The false churches have fallen into the same trap as Israel and today they have in their deceived minds two GODS , the one true GOD and HIS government and a human false ruler and government.  The rules given by Paul are not an approval of human government but a way for the church to live peacefully in a world that they are not a part of.  There is not going to be a “good world” until Christ returns as this world is in the sway of Satan so the how is it possible that voting will change anything?  This idea makes voting the way to bring the kingdom to Earth while making the world a better place until then.  There is nothing a Christian can do to bring the kingdom as GOD only will do that and  that day is not even known to Christians.     

To understand what I have written here you must have the Holy Spirit and be a mature Christian, not a babe, and conduct a diligent search with GOD guiding you.  Since the grand total of true Christians at the return of Christ is 144,000 with most of them currently dead there are not many alive today that will understand.   

Another thing to consider.  The original being who rejected GOD as king and rebelled against HIS rule due to his vanity and his desire was Lucifer, who desired to set himself up as GOD then set about to influence humanity to do the same.  His was the force behind the Tower of Babel and Israel’s rejection of GOD as king, it also the same force behind voting.  It is the rejection of GOD as the only true king and then accepting human rulership.

Even the documents associated with the founding of the United States; the United States constitution and Declaration of Independence specifically designate government by the people in the form of a representative republic, that is not GODS government it is human government.   Yes the name of GOD was invoked but GOD was totally left out of the process.  How can government be of GOD and humans at the same time ?  If the United States was a Christian nation should not it’s founding documents state, “government of GOD by GOD and for the people” ?  When Israel rejected GOD as their king they basically desired a similar thing to what the United States government is.  Since the number of true Christians is only 144,000 it is safe to say that none of the founding fathers were Christians.  The truth is that GOD in all of human history and to this day only had one nation that was HIS nation, carnal Israel, and they rejected GOD so therefore GOD has no replacement.   

It does not matter what the carnal world believes because the entire world is under GODS law, the Ten Commandments,  Romans 3:19   No nation on this Earth follows that law, they have all sinned and are under an everlasting death sentence.  The true church is not under the law of sin and death,  Romans 8:2 ,  but rather the law of the spirit of YAHWEH through Jesus Christ.  True Christians obey YAHWEH rather than men.  Acts 5:29   Is this in all things or is human politics excluded ?  

Is it a sin to take part in the government and politics of men ?  Yes it is.  In doing so you side with the Devil who was the first to reject YAHWEH as king.
