Job, Satan, & God: The Book of Job with Derek Thomas 

This message is from Derek Thomas' 12-part teaching series The Book of Job. Watch the entire series: www.ligonier.org/learn/series/the-book-of-job/

The most hated attribute of God by an unbeliever is his sovereignty. But it is His holy sovereignty that gives his children the most peace.

Sometimes the RU-vid algorithm is the Hand of God. This is exactly what I needed today. God bless you for this wonderful resource

" ...the Lord gave the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Job 1:21✝️ We rest in the safety and soverignity Of God. Lord help us to Know you as friend

Job is the clearest representation of the gospel in the OT. It takes us back to pre-mosaic law and covenant. Pre-abrahamic covenant. We see in Job’s experience that fallen humanity is utterly incapable of accurately identifying his deepest need which is for unrighteous man to be made righteous by an outside force in order to be reconciled to a righteous God. It’s a relevant message today because the church in our generation has grossly neglected the USE of the Law in preaching the gospel. In Job’s case, pre-law, God used calamity to lead Job to recognize his greatest need was to be right with God, requiring an advocate. The law was later given as Gods tool to bring humanity to same revelation. When the Law is abandoned........ God will mercifully “resort” to calamity. But the law is FAR more affective and WAY less painful.

'Though He slay me, yet will I love Him.' Job is heroic and an example to us all. And as both Shakespeare and Swedenborg said, 'All the world is a stage, and we are players thereon'. One day, if we are counted worthy, all our tears will be wiped away and we will then see how our suffering has tempered us and made us shine. Then we will not be players on a stage any longer, but real and permanent.

Glory to God!

Look forward to the 2nd part of this.

The book of Job is the one book I need to pay more attention to

I loved hearing this whole set of sermons by Pastor Thomas. This was so comforting, and created greater understanding.

I'm here in hopes of understanding God and Satan's relationship at that time......nobody never talks about this.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Thank u sir..bless you

Before Adam ate from the tree of Knowledge he was sovereign as being in contact with the most high, and the story of job, is a lesson in what happens when one is without sovereignty of mind. Within the book it also points towards where the laws of heaven are depicted, and this is the crux, if you understand the laws in heaven you will understand what sovereignty of mind entails. The celestial sphere, your life, your psyche is mapped out and written upon the stars. In the creation story, of seven days, to create the world in seven days, one needs to reference a construct, and this construct is how time came into being. If you want to understand how it ends, you need to find out where it began, as the snake eats its own tail.

Perfectly said.

Whoever trusts in the Lord Jesus: God bless you!

It’s important to understand The Cross. It was ABBA up there! The Most High God, Perfect in all His Ways, showed us The Way to paradise. Do not be deceived! He is not willing that ANY (of His Own) should perish but have everlasting life. Prayer is key. The “LOVE” of God is The Way for His Seed(s)...Matt 13:37...Ears to Hear 🙏🔑✌️

Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf

Hallelujah..😔

🙏🙏🙏

Its good to read the" Present with Religion", a book for free on ths internet.The book is about the truth of life and it shows the full picture of life for the first time so that you may stop being deceived by the world and be able to follow the steps of Jesus and other prophets to Heaven.Knowing the truth is the key factor in our salvation.We must know the truth and live in it and change ourselves according to it in order to be saved.There is no other way to our salvation.With the knowledge of the truth there comes true repentance which means changing our minds and also true obediance to God' s law and finally our sanctification which is a lifeling process.And God in His mercy will give us Hia wonderful grace which is the time and ability to make the proper change.Only in this way will we be able to attain our eternal salvation.Our task is to find this narrow gate that leads to God and do it quickly and stay on it till the end no matter what.Then and only theb we will be saved.There is nothihg more important or serious to do in this fallen world as our efernal fate deolpends on it.

I LOVE JOB, BUT JESUS FIRST

See the book “Think Like an Advanced Christian”?

Here is my take on Job sons of God Job 1: 4-6 A person has to use CONTEXT....Context is King. 4 His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate (SANCTIFY) them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually. 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. When Job presented the animal sacrifice/burnt offering (Job 1:5) this was in the days (Plural) of Feasting. There are Two "DAYS" mentioned in the days of feasting found in Job 1: 4 and Job 1: 13 and there are also Two "DAYS" when the sons of God presented themselves Job 1: 6 and Job 2: 1. Job 1:4 " And his sons would go and feast houses, each on his DAY, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them Job1: 6 "Now there was a DAY when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. Job 1: 13 " Now there was a DAY when his sons and daughters eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house;" >>>>>the sons and daughters are Jobs, his household. Job 2: 1 "Again there was a DAY when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. Job 1:5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and consecrate (SANCTIFY) them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly. The proper interpretation is pairing together Job 1: 4 with Job 1: 6 and pairing together Job 1: 13 with Job 2: 1, keeping Job 1: 5 in mind and applying that thought to with the verses that are paired together. Basically what happened is in Job 1 :4 and Job 1: 13 the feasting would be taking place, then the following day Job 1: 6 and Job 2: 1 early in the morning Job would present the animal sacrifice/burnt offering unto the Lord God. Job is being made Holy as well as his Household (wife, sons, daughters), because of the sacrifice (burnt offering), sanctification, atonement and shed blood of the sacrifice, this brings Job's Household into a position of "Adoption", hence forth sons of God are explained in Job 1:6 and Job 2: 1 which happened the following day. This all took place during the days of feasting. Job 1: 4 "and his sons would go and feast houses, each on his day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them." Verse tells us the days of Feasting each had there own day and there were probably 7 days of Feasting or could be 8 days of Feasting with Job because the Jews had 8 Feast days, 7 is more likely, because Job had 7 sons. Job was not a Jew, he was a Patriarch/head of the household and lived before the Jews and the Law was given. In the context given there are 4 separate DAYS mentioned in the text with in the 7 or 8 DAYS of Feasting. My view overall that Job's children were predestidated to Christ, since they were Concecrated/Sanctified (Made Holy), meaning the Soul. Have to apply the Context and which means applying the burnt offerings/animal sacrifice. The sons of God are clearly Job and his household.....This is all a fore shadowing of the Complete Sacrifice and Promise of Jesus on the Cross. Also to note like it says in Romans the wages of sin is death, Jesus made the final payment for sin with his death, but before the death of Jesus and before the Law and Israel, people like Job a Patriarch would offer death unto the Lord God for sins. Like it says fpr Job's children. The conversation between God and Satan is in the spiritual realm while Job and his household are in the material/earthly realm. Has to do with Sanctification, Justification and Glorification. Of course the Glorification is future since the soul is atoned for a future Glorified body. These souls of the OT, like Job and his household. Job had to continually offer sacrifices unto the Lord God, just like all of the OT sacrifices even the nation of Israel with the Levitcal priesthood offered sacrifices with shed blood, this was the old covenant with the blood of animals. These sacrifices were only good until the next sacrifice was offered. Jesus on the Cross made the FINAL PAYMENT for sin and the FINAL SACRIFICE. This is why it mentions sons of God in Job, this is all tied into the Sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, who is the Son of God. There would be NO sons of God mentioned in both OT and NT without a Sacrifice and Shed blood offered unto the Lord God for the payment of sin and atonement for the soul. To call sons of God angels or a so called divine council in the OT is actually blasphemous against Jesus and the Cross, as well as how God dealt with sin of the Individual in the Bible.

For a breakthrough understanding of the Book of Job, see the Novel "Where Do We Go Now, LORD? - Burke." Moses was open to higher ground. Are seminary and church leaders open to higher ground? No? Be like Moses, then. Enjoy the breakthrough!

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Isn't this a case of going everywhere but getting nowhere?

Lol At this paste, it would take the preacher a week to go through the dialogue.

Satan didn't want to test the faith of the ungodly. Remember the beginning its a debate between God and satan . " God allowed it but didn't allow Satan to 'touch his soul'. God is certain about his poeple

If we didn't suffer at time's we would be even worse than we are.more of a spoiled brat. God owes us nothing.but he gives us everything

At 18:07 I really don’t agree that nothing happens without god’s willing it to happen… we have a will and god let it be…but he did not predict or write anything we do in advance I don’t believe that

I believe Job had a warped view of God. And was a self righteous man depending on his own works. I believe Job used God to get things like some prosperity preachers.Snd even later in Job you see his true colors come out.When he mentions all the good works but not a relationship with God. He was a moralist. A moralist is harder to reach than a hedonist. So God had to take away everything for him to see his folly.

this teaching misses the point of Job "In all this did not Job sin with his lips". he did with his heart/spirit. we know this from his friends with him as for they saw that his grief was very great.

What if Satan was to change his ways, asked God for forgiveness, and only did good? Would the world, the universe, be a better place? Maybe, we all should pray for Satan, pray that he changes his ways and returns to heaven (home) and become that beautiful spirt he use to be.

Did you understand Job 1: 8? God tempted Satan using Job. Its never, what we do, but what God does through us.

I hate it where John Macarthur was used as a punching bag for christian youtubers. All christian youtubers get called false teachers. My theory is they do it for views

Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven.

A profoundly tortured explanation.

2 things to repent on: 1) Jesus is God. There is no other God. 2) heliocentrism = sun centered = modern sun worship = blasphemy against God = hell. Your salavation does depend on you accepting the truth, and i have told you the truth.

This is lazy and unbiblical. You’re saying God is under an obligation to heal us if we are more friendly with him? Ever read Job? He was an upright, blameless, and righteous man. Yet, as the book reveals to us, God allowed him to suffer greatly. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away (Job 1:21). God allows - in fact ordains - suffering sometimes. Yet he works all together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).

God is wrong to force his own to suffer against their will, period.
