Job Speaks on Death. Job 13 & 14

 

Job 13 & 14 – Job Speaks on Death

 

In the last part of Chapter 13 Job expresses the desire to know how many sins and iniquities he has so he will understand why he is being treated as he is. He feels that he is rotting away. He cannot see any point to his suffering at all.

 

Chapter 14 Job asks, “when the sun goes down, what happens to the shadow? It is gone. Like a flower that has been cut down, or as a shadow that disappears, is my life. And yet God sees me and deals with me.”

 

“If a man die, shall he live again?” Even in death Job knows that God is going to call him, and he will answer that call. Death is not the end of it all.

 

In chapter 19 we will read that Job says, “I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.” Job 19:25-27.
