Job 23:7-10 Right side and Left Side

GuidetohisWord

“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matt.7:14).

Straight and narrow is the path to life. The shortest distance between two points according to Euclid is a straight line. In the Land of the living soul is a point connecting us to Jesus Christ who compared himself to the door. “I am the door” Jesus as the Way is also mediator, High priest and the Apostle(He.3:1).

Job 21:1-6 Language of Power

GuidetohisWord

Eliphaz goes on with a litany of Job’s undiscovered crimes that only God would know.

In vv.21-27 He exhorts Job to be reconciled with God (‘Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee’)  Job remonstrated that it was not the case.

Job sets up a parable how God would instead empower him.

“Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high./ One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet./ His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow./ And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure./ They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

Death is a great leveler and the three friends of Job went wrong in judging from outward circumstances of man. One dies in ripe old age surrounded by his family and another dies in his prime and it is left to is parent to bury him. A man who has set to be a benefactor of his race,.- for intimations of excellence and spirit of higher purpose animates him in small or great deeds, is felled at the very moment…
