Unknown Speaker  3:49  
We got to do it within reason. We want to help people. So the book of Job is a wisdom book. And that means that it contains the things do you believe?

Unknown Speaker  4:01

Unknown Speaker  4:12

Unknown Speaker  4:56  
I rewatched them Super Bowl sugar box. You

Unknown Speaker  5:00  
We focus on the book of Job. No. Yeah. Okay. So God was in the heavens, which is where he lives. He was at his house. And the angels came to him. I saw that too. So the super books, right? It's a, he's an angel.

Unknown Speaker  5:19  
lender will think, in the mouth. And

Unknown Speaker  5:24  
let's focus on job. Okay.

Unknown Speaker  5:27  
So the angels came to God's house. And when they came, guess who else came? Oh, devil?

Unknown Speaker  5:35  
devil. He's the adversary once after the cheese Satan.

Unknown Speaker  5:43  
So, okay, you want to know what an adversary is? Okay, this is an adversary. So let's say you want to play with a toy? You want to play in the toy? Okay. And then your adversary would come and take the toy from you.

Unknown Speaker  6:02  
away from you. Why are you repeating? Thank you for feeding? No, but I'm talking to you.

Unknown Speaker  6:09  
So if you had a toy, and I came, took it from you, I would be your adversary.

Unknown Speaker  6:15  
Okay. Well, I will be sad. It's really sad.

Unknown Speaker  6:21  
So Satan, who is God's adversary. And our adversary, Satan hates us.

Unknown Speaker  6:29  
Because we're in God's image.

Unknown Speaker  6:32  
So he went before God in his own house. And guess what?

Unknown Speaker  6:41  
He wanted to harm job.

Unknown Speaker  6:45  
Yeah, yeah. Satan wanted to harm job. Wait. And you know what God said?

Unknown Speaker  6:51  
God said, job will never turn against me.

Unknown Speaker  6:55  
Because job loves God. Right?

Unknown Speaker  6:58  
And so Satan said, You protect him. And that's why he loves you. And God said, it's not because I protect him. It's because he loves me. So Satan was given permission to take everything from June. He took all of his animals, all of his slaves and all of his family

Unknown Speaker  7:21  
wasn't good.

Unknown Speaker  7:23  
Family. Yeah, we're all jokes, children. They died.

Unknown Speaker  7:31  
And left, no, not

Unknown Speaker  7:37  
even one not even to not even to know me when I'm angry. Yeah. And then job also lost all of his animals. So all of his wealth all of his money

Unknown Speaker  7:50  
in there was more there's gonna be eventually and, and then job lost all of his servant to work, listen, we got to stay focused.

Unknown Speaker  8:02  
Job lost all of his servants who worked on his farm.

Unknown Speaker  8:07  
They were all died and taken away by by farming

Unknown Speaker  8:12  
is

Unknown Speaker  8:14  
now get this 100 more What?

Unknown Speaker  8:20  
Okay, okay. Let's pay attention to the story. Okay.

Unknown Speaker  8:25  
I know, it's hard to pay attention, but we're learning like, a really cool story. So then get this. God's in his house. And Satan comes back

Unknown Speaker  8:36  
to his house. And, and Satan says, It's because you wouldn't let me harm Joe himself, but he's not turned against you. So now he wants to hurt Joe.

Unknown Speaker  8:50  
And God says Joe will not turn against me.

Unknown Speaker  8:54  
Because he knows that Trump loves him.

Unknown Speaker  8:57  
So, so Satan goes down. And he gives Joba bad disease. Oh, you want to see me? Well, in this case, it was something that like, like infected his skin, once effective. infected means that it gets sick.

Unknown Speaker  9:20  
Yes, like, yeah, so Job's skin got really sick.

Unknown Speaker  9:27  
And he lost all of his hair.

Unknown Speaker  9:29  
Yeah.

Unknown Speaker  9:31  
Okay. I don't want it. You don't want that? He got a skin disease.

Unknown Speaker  9:38  
That's when your skin gets sick. Hey,

Unknown Speaker  9:44  
I tried to cram my die.

Unknown Speaker  9:47  
Everybody's gonna die one day. It's true. That's why we're talking about God so that we can be prepared so that when we get old

Unknown Speaker  9:57  
we can be ready to meet God.

Unknown Speaker  10:00  
That's really important. Yeah, because we don't want to die. No, we want to live forever with him.

Unknown Speaker  10:07  
He promises us that. So let's get back to job. Okay? So at about this time, his wife, Job's wife, like mama to me, starts telling him, just curse God, like, talk bad about God. And justice, I'm not good job says, I'm not gonna talk about God

Unknown Speaker  10:25  
do it. And then, and then Job's friends show up, and they start telling job that he's in a bad person, a great person, he's a good person, right?

Unknown Speaker  10:37  
a bad person.

Unknown Speaker  10:41  
like God, and then guess what happened after that? Job's friends, they yell at him, and they treat him bad for a really long time. And Joe, Joe gets really mad with them. And he gets really mad at God, because all this is happening.

Unknown Speaker  10:57  
But you know, he didn't do.

Unknown Speaker  10:59  
He didn't forget that God is the most important thing, even through all the bad times in his life. And then in the end, God comes in in the whirlwind, and in the, in the loud noises and the thunder, and all the things that God has done. It's very scary. But during this time, God explains to Joe, that God did all these things that were very, very, very big and very strong things. When we're done with this one, I want you to know, okay, we'll get to know. So

Unknown Speaker  11:37  
after this job says, You know why?

Unknown Speaker  11:43  
Well, joke. Joke joke gets to the point that he basically apologizes to God for saying bad things. And then guess what? In the end, Joe got all of his animals, kinda new ones. And he had new children.

Unknown Speaker  12:02  
I

Unknown Speaker  12:05  
think he had seven sons and three daughters. Get the law. It's a big family. 1010 children, right.

Unknown Speaker  12:13  
But Joe was very wealthy. 100 kids more than Yeah, 100 shoulders a lot more than 10. Yeah. So from it all this is this is the whole story.

Unknown Speaker  12:27  
God didn't create a world that safe all the time. Oh, yeah. The world we live in is dangerous.

Unknown Speaker  12:37  
and bad things can happen.

Unknown Speaker  12:41  
But the person who loves gone, stay strong. And their trust that God will take care of them.

Unknown Speaker  12:52  
Yeah, even during the hard times, if we trust God, He will take care of us.

Unknown Speaker  13:04  
He got to the CPC.

Unknown Speaker  13:08  
He got to see he's like, you know, I don't have any diseases.

Unknown Speaker  13:15  
Or people good. Have some water that can that can get seeds is gone. Oh, yeah, there was a pool. That was in Jerusalem. Right? Is that what you're talking about? Cool. We're gonna talk about that too soon. But we got to get ready to shut down the podcast. So.
