Job – A Mystery of the Resurrection of this Hour
REVELATION 21:3-4
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: (Notice - four things that shall be no more - death, sorrow, crying, and pain) for the former things are passed away.
There are many types of sorrows and disappointments in this human pilgrimage of life, and there are many different types suffering and crying and many different types of pain, and there is a thousand ways you could die and many types of deaths – so the scripture is telling us that these four categories of suffering and loss and death are going to pass away forever – but while we are in this human journey, we have these things with us as temporal things, and so while we are in this life, God allows these things as tools to shape our human character for our eternal existence that is to come. They are temporal tools.
*So when we look at the categories of pain concerning what Job experienced, we see that he went through 3 different stages in that there were 3 different types of pain that was added to his experience.
*There was first is the pain of loss – and this is a pain that is felt within the human spirit. The story of Job starts out by telling us of his great substance, and how that in one day he lost it all as well as losing all of his 10 children on the same day – and so that cause him immense pain, being he was made bankrupt and childless in one day.
And then after that pain, Satan inflicted Job’s body with boils – and so now he has added paid that is pain in the bodily realm of what the body feels.
*And then after that pain came the final pain which was the pain of the rejection by his own friends and so call comforters, and even his own household turned against him – so this was the pain of rejection.
JOB 19:14-27
14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. (Look at Job suffering the rejection by those of his own household – we can see Christ in this verse of the bible)
16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
(This is why we should never trample down on someone who is already down – they don’t need us to cause them more suffering. We often question many things in life that do not make sense like what happen to Job did not make any sense, and the reasoning of man will come up with all sorts of answers why someone is going through a hard time – but we don’t really know what God is achieving in that persons life, because like Jobs three comforters, they sounded so right with their reasoning of Job’s situation, but they were actually all wrong. And this is why we actually don’t know what God is doing in another person’s life. God is not out to destroy people’s lives like he’s trying to get them back for their mistakes, but all of our trials in life are designed for the purpose of our advancement and good – ALL things work together for our good)
23 ¶ Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Notice – The pain of rejection just before the revelation of the resurrection.
*Jesus also suffered this pain of rejection by his own household just before the resurrection took place in his day – and so we see a pattern for this day also, because there is a great resurrection that has been promised for this day also.
***The book of Job is the oldest authored book of the bible – it is not the oldest time period that was written about in the bible, because Moses wrote about the creation of the world and of Adam and Eve and Eden, but the book of Job was written well before Moses wrote Genesis.
THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_ TIFTON.GA MONDAY_ 62-0319
E-28 I'm going to speak of a man by the name of Job for a few moments. That's the oldest book in the Bible. We understand that Job was one of the wisest men in the world of his day. Why, he said when he'd go to the markets the young princes would bow before him for wisdom. He was a great man.
But that man begin to realize, of all of his greatness, he wondered what... After this is all over, then what's it going to be? He wondered what would take place.
So he speaks then, and begins to watch about God's creation. He knew that all things was created by a Word from God. And we--he noticed also of--he said, "There's hope if a tree dies, it'll live again."
*Nature was one of Job’s first bibles; Notice how he watched things about God’s creation.
*It has been suggested that Job lived somewhere between 2000 BC and 1800 BC, others suggest that it was the late 6th century to the early 4th century BC. *It is also uncertain as to who authored the book of Job, possibly Job himself or maybe one of his associates.
*So we notice that even though Job was the first book of the Bible that was written, it wasn’t place chronologically as the first book at the beginning of the bible, but was placed numerically after the book of Esther.
**And so if we look at the order of the books that are aligned just before the book of Job, we see that we have Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and then Job (a group of four books named after people).
**And we know that Ezra and Nehemiah is the Jews coming back to their homeland at the end of the 70 years of captivity which we know is the Fifth and Sixth Trumpets of Revelation CH:9 which is WW1 and WW2 (woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth – the first two world wars).
So WW1 and WW2 is what caused the Jews to come back to their homeland of Israel after 1946, and so we have seen this take place in our day as it did in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah’s day, so then we know that history is repeating itself again in this day.
*So then if that be so, then we can be sure of what comes next by what has already been in the past, because this is the eternal word of God that can never fail.
**So then what follows the book of Ezra and Nehemiah is the book of Esther, and Esther is a common girl who comes into a marriage with a king and becomes a queen, but even though she is married to the king, she has to go through a process of experiences in order for her to come into a confidence to know who she is – this is what is taking place in this hour also.
**And then what follows the book of Esher is the book of Job which is the resurrection – so there is a resurrection that is to follow Queen Esther’s maturity.
*We know that the marriage of the heavenly bridegroom to the earthly bride takes place in this day between WW2, and WW3 (The 6th and 7th trumpet), between the gentile prophet of Revelation 10 and the two Jewish prophets of Revelation 11.
So after the marriage of the Lamb to a gentile bride takes place, and before WW3 comes, right in between that time there is to be a resurrection of 2000 years of sleeping saints.
***So Ezra and Nehemiah is Revelation 9, and then Esther is Revelation 10, and then Job is the resurrection of 7 church ages of sleeping saints which follows the maturity of Esther just before WW3.
*So the book of Job is dealing with this mystery of the resurrection that pertains to us in this hour between Esther coming into maturity of the spoken word power and the third woe of WW3 – and this is exactly the time that we are living in right now.
***And so this is why we want to study this book of Job, because there are encoded secrets in this book that shows us of the maturity that Job had come into in order for this revelation of the resurrection to be given to him, because that is where we are to also come to in this hour.
*In rabbinical literature, Job is called one of the prophets of the Gentiles – and a prophet is an eagle – and so Job was under an eagle anointing that was associated with a gentile people, and that anointing led him to a revelation of life after death because that is the same revelation of what has been opened up to the bride in this hour.

E-29 ..Well, if He made a way for a flower to live again, what about a child of God that's made in His image? Job says, "A man die, yea, he giveth up the ghost. He wasteth away. His sons come to mourn, or do honour, and he perceiveth it not, and so forth. I can't understand. I see a flower--a seed buried, it comes to life. I see the flower die, raise again. But man layeth down, giveth up the ghost, and where is he?" See? "He don't rise again."
… And then, Job, being a prophet, got in the Spirit; the thunders begin to roll, the lightnings flashed. Job stood on his feet, and said, "I know my redeemer liveth, and at the last days He will stand upon the earth: though the skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God."
He knew there was coming forth a day of resurrection. "In the last days," plural (See?), last two thousand years, "my redeemer shall stand upon the earth."
The great resurrection that will take place in this day will be at the last trump of a three phase cycle that we know as the shout, voice and then lastly the trump (1st Thessalonians 4:16). And it will be this last trump that will produce the resurrection of the full redemption of our bodies, because the resurrection in this hour will bring on the glorification of our mortal bodies.
*Our theophany bodies that are (right now) waiting for us in the sixth dimension will come down into this dimension of earth to pick up and unite with our earthly bodies and create a glorified body of one flesh like the coming together of a marriage of two people produce a new body. We know that we have a theophany body because we have already heard from it by the word being revealed to us in this day.
*First we will see the sleeping saints arise from the graves (they will come to us first, and we will see them and know them), and then we who are alive and remain will be change in our atoms and together we will all be caught up to meet the Lord in the air – this is the word of God that is impossible to fail.
**So God had a purpose and a planned for our lives to make Himself known to us, and He has appointed certain tests and trials for us to overcome.
**And that is why the opening of the word came in this day to show you your origin as well as your destiny, and to show to you and prove to you that you are a part of God – rapturing faith lays in that revelation.
***This end time message revelation doesn’t leave you wondering about who you are in this hour, because all that you have ever gone through in life, and all that you will go through in the future, and what you are going through right now has already been written in the Bible. So when you see that your life has already been written in the word, and that your destiny is sure, then it brings your current trials of life into the perspective of the greater picture because you know that your sufferings in this life are only for a temporal season, and that they are a necessary part of the journey for the benefit of your eternal position in the great world that is to come.
**And so when we lack this revelation, we are just like Job was at the beginning of the book of Job.
*Job was like “Why did this happen to me? Why is all this disaster going on in my life? Why is God against me? Why is my family against me? What is happening to me?” Maybe God hates me?
**So God had to make Job come to know himself as he was foreknown by God.
JOB 38:1-4
1 ¶ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4 ¶ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job was one of the wisest man that live on the earth at that time, and yet Job had no understanding of where he was before he came to the earth, so God had to first teach Job about his origin, and that his name was written in the book of God’s mind from the foundation of the world.
*And everybody who was in that book had to be expressed in the earth. And when they were expressed in the earth, God had a purpose for them. They had a pre-planned life because they would have their role in this great unfolding drama of redemption. And when they come into the story, they all would have a part to play, and in this day, all these things of all the parts down though the history of this great drama of redemption has been revealed to us.
***That is why in this day, we know what age we are in. We know what the promises to this age are. We know what word is allotted to this age. We know what kind of messenger is the Messenger for this Age. We know what kind of Message we are going to receive
**We recognise our day and its message because we and that message have become one and the same thing.
***So we find that Job understood about the creation of the trees and the flowers and the created things of God, but he didn’t understand that creation was the very purpose of redemption. He just knew God as a creator, but he didn’t know God as a redeemer. He didn’t know that creation was for the purpose of revealing Redemption; it wasn’t that God created the flowers so that he could have nice flowers on the earth, but he created the flower in order to reveal redemption of how that flower can die and live again after death.
**So God had to create the earth for the purpose so that he could reveal redemption - of Himself as the redeemer.
Because before there was ever a man on the earth, and before there was even a heaven or an angel or atom or molecule, there was Elohim – the self-existing one.
***And in His great mind there was already a Lamb slain even before there was the creation of a lamb. And right there before the foundation of the world, God placed your name on his great book then. And so when you see that, you will see many things like what Job saw – because everything is just the mind of God unfolding and being revealed from the thoughts of the back part of his mind, all the way to that eternal land where all pain and sorrow and death shall be all pasted away.
***So creation was made for the purpose of revealing redemption, and that is why redemption is the greater work that is above creation.
**So God had a great purpose in order to be able to express Himself to his children, and so he had to pre-planned each of our lives of when and where we would be born, and what church age we would be born into, and what nationality and family we would be born into etc.
But God doesn’t stop there at your birth, but He begins to guide your earthly journey along certain pathways of experiences of struggles and trials. **And it is different for every person because God is preparing your character in this life for a certain position that you will fill in your eternal life that is to come.
**And so from the cradle to the grave, nothing in your life happens by chance, nothing is a surprise to God, because all of the trials and testings that you will ever go through in your life is pre-known and pre-planned by God for the purpose so that you will come to know Him as your Saviour and Redeemer.
***This is why your trials in this life are much more precious than gold that perisheth, because the character that trials produce in your earthly journey is only preparing you for your eternal habitation.
***And so when we look into this book of Job, we will see that it is dealing with these things of pre-existence, and earthly journey, and eternal destination, and when we know that, then it will help us to bring into perspective the purpose of our earthly journey and of the fact that our short time of affliction here on earth is designed by God to bring us into a far greater eternal weight of glory.
To be continued - the Lord willing
