For you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.” (Job 42:8 ESV)<br /><br />The Lord's vidication of Job by making him his critics mediator foreshadows the suffering of our Messiah as we were once critics ourselves ("For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son" oman 5:10 ESV).<br /><br />Job's faith was independent of the temporal context for he had an "Eternal context"("Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 ESV)<br /><br />"For I know that my Redeemer lives,and at the last he will stand upon the earth.And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God,whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another." (Job 19:25-27 ESV)<br /><br />So without the last 10 verses the critic is still in need of a Redeemer and need "And my servant...shall pray for you, for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly." (Job 42:8 ESV).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
