Pastor starts with the pre-game show. Interesting stuff about Israel and the virus.
We begin with a new addition to our Joel series. We have been hinting at it... let's add in Job!
He starts with a short list of personal excuses (pay no attention to that man behind the curtain).
Here's something very interesting. We have Job being Tested by Satan. Wasn't Jesus Christ tested by Satan? Oh, yes, Matthew 4. Our pastor suspects that Satan has been told by God to leave, before Matthew 4. We get into the association of Adam and Christ. We're comparing Job and Adam. Don't both have a hedge around them? Let's add in Moses, Deuteronomy 18:15.
But let's read again Job 1:8 thru 2. We suspect that when God and Satan are having a conversation, the entire Angelic host is in attendance. Satan challenges God to touch Job's immune system but there is no permission to kill. And Satan touches Job as God allows him to. What kind of knowledge does Satan have of biological structures? Satan is unsuccessful with Job, but Job's wife on the other hand is taking the side of Satan. Think Eve... think Zipporah and Moses. Pastor makes the connections, and they are many and profound.
There are two wonderful truths that Christ guarantees us in Scripture:
- Continuity of the Soul
- Resurrection of the Body
He is able and He is willing.
So, where do we go next? The scientists cannot even define one living cell... nor can they define what a particle is. This is an interesting discussion. Yes, I, your friendly Internet Supper Dave, say it is so... therefore, ya, verily, it is so.
But... this is just the simple introduction. Tune in next week...
