Job 19:25. ' THE LI SS' N IN ITS SETTING Time -•- P.'obably in the Mosaic or pre -Mesa%'° age. Place --- Ta tete land ot "fez, which was east of 'a'.estine, and north of Edom. In this loess ti we find some of ` the most remarkable discourses 001 the meaning ot suftering the frailty of human lite. to be discovered ie any literature of the world. W' , might dwell primarily on Job's very great need of a. Savior, and hie hope for a Savior to come, noting how the New Testament is a glor- ious and dieeee reply to so many of the euesti,:+ s here raised by this ancient patrieseh. THE DISCO.CIRSES Tob's complaint in Chapter Three is the point of departure for the whole oontroseersy which follows. Those seven days of silent suffering and brooding have wrought a big change in the patriarch's frame of mind. His ha')itual trust in God is not dest o ed; but it is over- clouded and shaken. With Chapter 4 commences the first cycle of the speeches it& tee discussion which is now entered upon. Each of the three friends is allowed to have his say. and is a'ts'-vered in due course by Job. The o_ ler followed in this , cycle is continued in the two toy lowing ones. Briefly the argument of these three friends ie that suffering is a punishment fas sin. Holding this view. they ase confronted with the case of Job, ;v:io is a good man. LIGHT- IN THE DARKNESS Joh replies le a general way to his three !Heeds declaring that by is not guilty et great sin as charg- ed. Job turns ::_ion his friends, and pours scorn and sarcasm upou then. Then, darning away froth, them, he dete:-oines at all costs to make his appeal to God and plead his cause beeeee. him, either as de- fenclart or plaintiff, he cares not which: and se, as it rehearsing his inteneeal spee,_b. As he rehearses what would =se his blessing, he for- gets ilts own sorrows in the recol• lection of the sorrows of mankind: ;and now for the first time there gleams for hint a light which flash- es over all the darkness which sur- rounds him. What it there be a life beyond the grave. where the right- eous rescued out of Sheol by the hand of God. shall enjoy hit, favor forever? Job 14: 13. Oh that thou me in Sheol. That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thoa wouldest appoint me a set time, ani remember hie'. 14. If a titan die, shall he live again? All the days of my way Rare would 1 wait, Till my release should come. 15. Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldet have a desire to the work of thy hands. 16. But now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou no` watch over my sin? 17. My tra'•igression is sealed up 'in a bat,. And thou tastenest up mine iniq- uity. DOWN INTO SHEOI, In the second discourse of Eliph- a;., Job is accused of vanity, reek- lessuess, arrogance, etc. Job reply- ing declares that his friends are miserable comforters - God is a elitn6•ss its heaven of his innocency. Job then expresses the belief that men have found God by going all through hell, 17:3. If I look for She, of as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness; 14, If 1 have said to corruption, Thou art my Father; to rhe worm, Thou art my mother, ani my sister. 15. And where then is my hope? And as for my hope. who shall see It? 16. It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when price there is rest in the dust. The "pit" is in Hebrew "Sheol". and as a great subterranean prison - house it has bars or bolts, for It , has also gates. Sheol is in the Old Tesi:iment the, place to which the dead go. It Is often spoken of as the ertuivalent of the grave. and it carries with it. the tnpnniilg ot total ceseetimt of life shelf. 7 0Wti FAITH' in Chaptsi 10 we have Job's great contessou of faith, Bildad's second.. -tt1s 'our e has the effect of raising Job's mental suffering to the point or anguish, for it leaves him haunted with the feeling that In God's wide universe, he hasn't a Bangle friend. But his mind, under the pressure of these intolerable thoughts is aroused 1.o the titinost possible. selivity, and achieves the noblest triumphs. In this extremity his faith performs its greatest mire aele. He believes that he is about to die, tneetiug, to all appearance, o sinner's doom; but he knows in his own conscience that he will die tuleoeent: and at the iatece, there lc athought. n hi,snt'and wouldeat hid They're Tuning To Shoot `he 'Chuters In England leess A detachment of )ectedslinvasiontganization of England, nd. is shown al practned 'be "take ice:undeve" of r the supervision of a gutarachute troops that s be dropped in the 1 � mewliere in England.
