III. The Treasure of the Lord’s Day in the

book of Job

A. The placement

of the book of Job

Kings & Chronicles (A call to return to the temple)

These books cover the story of the fall of the kingdom and the removal of the Jews from the land, and the

return of those Jews to the land again.

Why would God waste space in his word just to tell you the same thing

twice in a row?

(2Ch 36:21-23) To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the

land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to

fulfil threescore and ten years. Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of

Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all

his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD

God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in

Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his

God be with him, and let him go up.


Ezra (a decree to return to the land)

In 1917 a gentile king made a decree, stating

that the Jews could return home to their land. This

was known as the Balfour Declaration



Nehemiah (building the walls)

In 1948 the walls (Boundaries) were rebuilt.

These walls speak of Israel’s territories and protection as

a nation




Esther (the removal of a Gentile queen and inwith Jewish queen)

The next thing to happen on God’s prophetic time clock is the removal of

his Bride (the Church). Which will happen in the same generation as

those of 1948





Job (tribulation)As soon as the rapture of the church has

occurred, there will began a 7 year tribulation that is divided into 2 parts (Tribulation and

Great Tribulation)

Kings & Chronicles EzraNehemiahEsther JobPsalms (the king on a throne)

After the tribulation will be the return of Christ to this earth to rule for a 1000 year

day (millennium)

Kings & Chronicles EzraNehemiahEsther JobPsalmsProverbs (nations seeking wisdom from the King)During this time nations will come to

Jerusalem to sit at the feet of the king to gain wisdom





Job (tribulation)

Psalms (the king on a throne)

Proverbs (nations seeking wisdom from the King)

B. The Panorama

of the book of Job

Job’s name means persecuted or hated

(Rev 12:13) And when the dragon saw that he was cast

unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought

forth the man child.

Job’s story takes place in the land of Uz

This is the land of Edom, also know in the Hebrew as Selah or in

Greek as Petra (the rock)This is the very place where the

Jews will go to hide at the 3 ½ (42 months) year point in till the

return of Christ

Job has 42 chapters

There are 42 chapters in the book of Job.

The same number of months that Satan will serve as the anti Christ

The same number of months that Christ served on his earthly ministry

Job was attacked personally by Satan

(Rev 12:9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and

Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels

were cast out with him.(Rev 12:12) Therefore rejoice, ye heavens,

and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he

hath but a short time.

Job was restored

The whole design of the tribulation was to bring the Jews back to

God

C. The Points of the book of Job

Comparing scripture with scripture

(Job 1:16) While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep,

and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

(Rev 13:12-13) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he

doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the

sight of men,

Comparing scripture with scripture (Job 1:13) And there was a day when his

sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's

house:

(Mat 24:37-38) But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the

day that Noe entered into the ark,

1. Job’s Sores

(Job 2:7) So went Satan forth from

the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his

foot unto his crown.


(Rev 16:2) And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a

noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon

them which worshipped his image.

(Rev 16:11) And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their

deeds.


(Job 2:9) Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity?

curse God, and die.

Comparing scripture with scripture (Deu 28:58-61) If thou wilt not observe to do all

the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the

LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not

written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.


(Exo 9:10-11) And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before

Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast. And the magicians

could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the

Egyptians.

2. Job’s Wife

(Job 2:9) Then said his wife unto him,

Dost thou still retain thine

integrity? curse God, and die.

Adam’s Bride tempted him to sin

(Gen 3:6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good for

food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be

desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her

husband with her; and he did eat.

False bride tempting people to sin

(Rev 17:5-6) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,

BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the

martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

3. Job’s Friends

(Job 2:11) Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came

every one from his own place; Eliphaz the

Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had

made an appointment together to come to mourn

with him and to comfort him.

Their counsel

Pious tormentAccused Job

False Reprehensive Contained a lot of truth

Who do they represent?

(Act 1:25) That he may take part of this ministry

and apostleship, from which Judas by

transgression fell, that he might go to his own

place.

(Joh 6:70-71) Jesus answered them, Have

not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a

devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of

the twelve.

(Joh 17:12) While I was with them in the world, I kept

them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that

the scripture might be fulfilled.

(2Th 2:3-4) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day

shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and

that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who

opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or

that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

(Rev 9:11) And they had a king over them, which is

the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew

tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his

name Apollyon.

(Rev 12:10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and

strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his

Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before

our God day and night.

(Rev 16:13-14) And I saw three unclean spirits like

frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out

of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the

spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of

God Almighty.

4. Job’s Day

(Job 3:1) After this opened

Job his mouth, and cursed

his day.


(Job 3:3) Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it

was said, There is a man child conceived.

(Rev 12:5) And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all

nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to

his throne.

It was a day of Darkness

(Job 3:4) Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above,

neither let the light shine upon it.

Comparing scripture with scripture (Amo 5:18-20) Woe unto you that

desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the

LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not

light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Comparing scripture with scripture (Zep 1:15) That day is a

day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day

of wasteness and desolation, a day of

darkness and gloominess, a day of

clouds and thick darkness,


(1Th 5:1-2) But of the times and the seasons, brethren,

ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves

know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a

thief in the night.


(Rev 6:12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,

and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun

became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon

became as blood;


(Rev 16:10) And the fifth angel poured out his vial

upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their

tongues for pain,

A day of Death

(Job 3:5) Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a

cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day

terrify it.


The phrase “shadow of death” 19 times in the bible

9 times in Job

(Psa 23:4) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the

shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.


(Psa 44:19) Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of

death.(Rev 12:9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the

Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out

with him.


(Psa 107:10) Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of

death, being bound in affliction and iron;

(Rev 12:13) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he

persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
