Preach the Word!

The first part of Revelation 22 ends the overall description of the city of New Jerusalem, showing what might be labeled as a New Eden. Just as the Bible opened with mankind in a beautiful garden with God, so it ends. What awaits us in the future is marvelous, even perfect.

Having endured the first round from the friends, round two starts in Chapter 15, again with Eliphaz. The ‘counsel’ (such as it was) becomes harsher, only reinforcing Job’s feeling of isolation.

Job was in a weird middle ground. On one hand, he explicitly affirmed his trust in the Lord. On the other hand, he expected the worst from God, as if God acted as his enemy, crushing him into the dust. The good thing is that despite our confusion, our God is rock-solid.

Job had many questions regarding his trials for which he didn’t have answers. But that doesn’t mean that his theology was wrong, despite the insinuations of his friends.

It is often said that there is a first time for everything, but if that is the case, then it follows that there is also a last/final time for everything, at least in terms of earthly activities.

The second of Job’s friends, Bildad follows in the example set by Eliphaz, but he also brings up the issue of justice. Was it right, what God had allowed to happen to Job?
