Thanks. Studying In the Crucible with Christ in the SSnet.org series Lesson 7, may
the Holy Spirit be the speaker to your heart. The Topic today is: "Job is certain about his God, some word about Arabic meanings”. The Opening Hymn will be 229 "Spirit
of the Living God" The Sabbath School Quarterly, downloadable
from SSnet.org in the Teacher's Edition is on page 87 and for the laymen
edition or Standard Edition, on page 58. The SSnet.org site allows anyone, anywhere
to read the lesson in their own language. Choose your own language to see God
speaking also to your heart. ---Yesterday’s
comments Someone read what I said yesterday in the
past and from that day counseled people not to read anything I write since I am
a “Futurist”. What is a futurist? It is someone who preaches the prophets with
a newspaper. ---Maybe long time ago you could not do
it. But it is really the endtime and now we can keep our eyes open for links.
After it happen, we can point to its fulfillment. That is historicism. That is
what our pioneers tried to do in 2300 years completed. ---Errros? The Millerites keep looking for
other dates as if the calculation was wrong and played chronological games. That
was wrong. One can see it in a journal they published until 1850. Then this
date and maybe next year or two years later. Guessing and setting dates. Not
God’s way. ---The true Adventists saw this early and
rejected it and Ellen White also said no, 1843 and 1844 was right. No more
calculations. But the Futurists in those days kept trying their luck. “Maybe
next year.” You can read it all in those journals they publish. ---The true Adventist will wait for it to
happen, the event will be worldwide, simple, clear, easy to identify and it
will be historical able to verify. Facts will be available to all. Like 911 is available
to all or 311 in Japan Tsunami. Simple, clear and factual. In all languages. No
excuse. ---But to connect it to the Bible, you
need to know Salvation 4.1 Adventist version. You need to know principles of
interpretation by historicists, which Adventism is. Not the Salvation 1.1b
Adventists who plays with preterism by mixing Reformed Theology and commentaries
with Adventist findings. ---Now
today’s lesson comments. ---On Job chapter 9, I would suggest not
to use the word ---What is the solution? Use Akkadian,
Ugaritic, Hittite or Middle Egyptian because that is the Egyptian Moses spoke.
There are good Egyptian dictionaries and grammars available for every period of
Egyptian history. Look for Middle. Moses Hebraized the Egyptian form so grab
the Egyptian meaning as the intention of Moses for Job’s saying. ---This is what Job meant: Job is struggling to understand why his destiny includes suffering so shortly before the end of his life. Give us Job’ s perspective of Satan’s
involvement with our lives to stay with You as
our protector. “‘ “‘Who is this that obscures my plans with
words without knowledge?’” (Job 38:2, NIV). ---Here is my comment to this verse: “The Lord answered Job making rising
efficacious” There is no theophany here. There are no clouds or storm He
appeared in. He answered both the friends and Job. The friends fall short of
the glory of God, Job not. For the friends chattering God asked “Who is this
who from darkness advices with words without knowledge?” (v. 2). The
answer is the incumbent friends of Job. As one reader said: with such friends,
who needs enemies?” ---It is not Job asking this question, it
is God asking the question pointing to the friends of Job. Next verse cited: “‘I am unworthy—how can I reply to you? I
put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I have no answer— twice, but I
will say no more’” (Job 40:4, 5, NIV). ---Job fell on his knees and one can see
the Egyptian hieroglyphics for silence here: “I put my hand to my mouth”. If you know
Egyptian language, then you will see in the Signlist that a man who is holding
his hand to his mouth means “silence”. (v. 4). If there is a question he
will not answer and a second question he will not add (v. 5). Job could sense
the everlasting arms of God and that peace left him speechless. ---Job is certain about his God. He is
certain about himself. It is the use of the Arabic semantics that created the
strange theology about Job. ---I do not want to advertise myself.
Search on google for a Devotional
Commentary on Job by Koot van Wyk. Download. It is all there. Thanks. curse. I do not think Job said he wants to curse
God. It is an Arabic semantics carried into the Hebrew Dictionary and it is
unfortunate a method. Everyone should object and ask: How can Byzantine
semantics tell us what the meaning of rare words are in Moses’ Job 2170 years
before [Moses wrote in 1460 BC and Arabic is after the 7th century AD! Red
card! Scholars did not object. They still used it. And modern translations
followed the Arabic meaning of the Dictionary. curse [Arabic!] God and die!’”
