Time thoughts IXV

There

was a man in the land of Uz,

**

And

God

said,

 Let the earth

bring forth grass,

the herb yielding seed,

and

the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,

whose

seed is in itself,

upon the earth:

and it was so.

***

whose

name was Job;

**

: Noah was a just man

and

perfect in his

generations,

***

whose

name was Job;

and that man was perfect

and

up-right,

and

one

that feared

God,

and

(without a written Law)

eschewed evil.

so

that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

*

And on the seventh day

God

ended his work which he had made;

and

 he

rested on the seventh day from all his work which

he

had made.

**

And

there

were born unto him seven sons

*

Adah,

the other

Zillah.

and

the sister of Tubalcain

was

Naamah.

*

and three daughters.

**

And

in

process of time

it

came to pass,

that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground

an

offering unto the Lord.

And Abel,

he

also

brought of the firstlings of

his flock

**

And

the ill favoured

and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured

and fat kine. . .

**

Make the heart of this people fat,

and

make their ears heavy,

and

shut their eyes;

lest they see with their eyes,

and

hear with their ears,

and

understand with their heart,

and

convert,

and

be healed.

Then

said

I,

Lord,

how long?

And

he

answered,

Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant,

and

the houses without man,

and

the land be utterly desolate,

And

the Lord have removed men far away,

and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

***

his flock

and

of the fat

thereof.

***

Now

there

was

a day

when the - sons of God - came to present themselves before - the Lord,

and

Satan

**

And

God

said,

Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide - the day from the night;

 and let - them be - for signs,

and for seasons,

and for days,

and years:

***

and

Satan

came also – among

them.

**

Therefore the Lord God - sent him forth from the garden of Eden,

to till the ground - from whence - he was taken.

**

And

the

rib,

which the Lord God had taken - from man,

made he a workman,

and brought her unto the man.

And Adam said,

This is now bone of my bones,

and flesh of my flesh:

she shall be called Workman, because she was taken out of Man.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

***

And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou?

*

Note

*

(And Ephron answered Abraham,

saying

unto him,)

**

Then Satan

answered

the

Lord,

and

said,

From going to and fro in the earth,

**

And

Cush begat Nimrod:

he

began to be a mighty one in the earth.

**

And

every plant of the field - before it was in the earth,

and

every herb of the field before it grew:

for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth,

and

there

was not a man to till the ground.

***

He

was a mighty hunter

 before

the Lord:

wherefore

(Law)

it

is

said,

Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

***

- and from walking up –

and down in it.

***

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.

And he said unto the workman,

Yea,

hath

God said,

Ye shall - not eat of every tree of the garden? . . . Ye shall not eat of it,

neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. . .

And

the serpent

said

unto the workman,

Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know - that in the day - ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,

*******

There is the first occurrence of the written law, Law wherein is embedded the knowledge of both good and evil which is the opposite sides of the same coin.

Job a man formed of the dust is perfect and fearfully serves God Job’s steps guided by seeing to the comfort of Lord’s children.

“For my sighing cometh before I eat,” Job.

For herein was man formed:

“and there was not a man to till the ground. . .

. .  And the Lord God formed man of the dust (Ethiopia) of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

and man became a living

so

ul.

the greater light to rule the day

**

**

And now,

saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant,

to bring Jacob again to him,

Though Israel be not gathered,

yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord,

and my God shall be my strength.

**

and

ye

shall be as gods,

knowing good

and

evil.

**

Elihu

answered

and

said,

 Hear my words,

O ye wise men;

and give ear unto me,

ye that have knowledge.

For the ear trieth words,

as the mouth tasteth meat.

Let us choose to us judgment:

let us know - among ourselves

what is good.

***

So

I

returned,

and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun:

and behold the tears of such as were oppressed,

and they had no comforter;

and on the side of their oppressors there was power;

but they had no comforter.

**

And the Lord said unto

Satan,

Hast thou considered

my

servant

Job,

**

in the image of God created he - him;

***

that there is none like - him in the earth,

a perfect - and - an upright man,

one

that feareth God,

and escheweth evil?

**

then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good

and evil.

***

Then Satan answered

the

Lord,

**

Here when addressing the man Job, they speak of the full scope of Job as a keeper in the Land of Uz.

The cohesive and unwavering guidance brought and everlasting continence to the land  of Uz that stayed under one Image one language and one Garment worn by Job’s servants.

**

And it was

so,

when the days of their feasting were gone about,

that Job sent

and sanctified them,

and rose up early in the morning,

and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all:

for

Job

said,

It may be that my sons have sinned,

(Cursed,

moved)

and cursed God in their hearts.

**

And God saw

that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

***

for

Job

said,

It may be that my (Fair)

sons have sinned,

(Cursed: To move)

(Job is of Uz a son of Shem)

And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

and cursed

God

in

their hearts.

Thus did Job continually.

***

If I laughed on them,

they believed it not;

and the light of

my

countenance they cast not down.

I chose out their way,

and sat chief,

and dwelt as a king in the army,

as one - that comforteth the mourners.

But now they that are younger than I - have me in derision,

whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

**

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven,

and will give unto thy seed all these countries;

and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice,

and kept my charge,

my commandments,

my statutes,

and my laws.

**

and

said,

Doth Job (Uz) – fear God - for nought?

Hast - not thou - made an - hedge about him,

and about his house,

and about all that he hath on every side?

thou hast blessed the work of his hands,

and his substance is increased in the land.

**

How is the faithful city become an harlot!

it was full of judgment;

righteousness lodged in it;

but

now murderers.

Thy silver is become dross,

thy wine -  mixed with water:

Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts,

and followeth after rewards:

**

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

**

they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Therefore saith

the

Lord,

the Lord ISamuelAmallah

of hosts,

the mighty One

of Israel,

Ah,

I will ease me of mine adversaries,

and avenge me of mine enemies:

And I will turn my hand upon thee,

and purely purge away thy dross,

**

and take away all thy tin:

And I will restore thy judges as at the first,

and thy counsellors as at the beginning:

afterward thou shalt be called,

The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

      Zion shall be redeemed with judgment,

and her converts with righteousness.

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together,

and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

**

Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them,

and hath smitten them:

and the hills did tremble,

and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets.

For all this his anger is - not turned away,

but his hand is stretched out still.

***

But put forth

thine

hand

now,

and touch all that he hath,

(he will turn)

and he will curse - thee to >> thy face.

And the Lord

said

unto

Satan,

Behold,

**

For the Lord hath chosen Zion;

he hath desired it for his habitation.

This is my rest for ever:

here will I dwell;

for I have desired it.

I will abundantly bless her provision:

I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I will also clothe her priests with salvation:

and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

There will I make the horn of David to bud:

I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

His enemies will I clothe with shame:

but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

Behold,

how good - and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

***

all that he - hath is in thy power;

only upon himself - put not forth thine hand.

So

Satan

went forth from

the

presence of the Lord.

**

Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary,

and have given Jacob to the curse,

and Israel to reproaches.

Yet now hear,

O Jacob my servant;

and Israel,

whom

I

have chosen:

Thus saith the Lord that made thee,

and formed thee - from the womb,

which will help thee;

Fear not,

O Jacob,

my servant;

and

thou,

Jesurun,

whom

I

have chosen.

For ISamuelYeaZion

 will pour water upon him that is thirsty,

and floods upon the dry ground: ISamuelAm

will pour my spirit upon thy seed,

and my blessing upon thine offspring:

And they shall spring up as among the grass,

as willows by the water courses.

One

shall say,

I am the Lord's;

and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob;

and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord,

and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel,

and his redeemer the Lord of hosts;

ISamuel am the first,

and ISamuelYea am the last;

and beside me - there is no God.

ISamuelYeaAm
