Discuss Job 24

    Ju.12:6-7 "Burden" (1 of 2)

    "And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;

    6Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."12:6-7

    The internecine war between the Gileadites and Ephraimites was set in motion by Abimelech who set tribes at each others throat and as we shall see there are more such conflicts in the offing. Earlier to it we are given a ringside view of the spirit of revolt in the camp of Korah, Dathan & Co. The Spirit however gives us it silently working in them which is fought in earnest when the son of Gideon's concubine could get men of Shechem to back his power grab. Here we have now the struggle for pre-eminence between Ephraim and Gilead.

    As Jeremiah would say whoever made his reliance on his arm was accursed. "Thus saith theLord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from theLord (Je.17:5)". The number of casualties as a result of the battle was 42x1000. This number connects it to the end times. Thousand signify that period of time. The beast in the latter days was given power for a duration of 42 months.("and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months".-Re.13:5b)). The culprit that caused this conflict was none other than Satan who gave the beast authority to muddy the glory of the word of God. The difference between Shibboleth and Sibboleth is how an ear of corn of corn becomes a burden. "They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn( Job 24:24)".

    "The GOD", in Old Testament, Exodus 3:6, is "elohiym" same word for Genesis 1, Genesis 9,

    In Genesis 7, 'and the LORD' is "Yhvh" & Genesis 6,

    You can click each scripture to read the translation words & click that into deeper study of words, for each name of GOD.

    1John 4, 1John 4:16 ... 'GOD is love' ... Is translated from the Greek, "theos esti agape"

    Yes, I believe in both situations it was a loving GOD that protected & stopped the wickedness, cruelty, etc.notice, Genesis 6:5, Genesis 18, Genesis 18:20,21,25,32, Genesis 19:4,9,

    Revelation 18:5, Exodus 22:22-27, Proverbs 21:13, Job 24:38,

    Matthew 25:31-46,

    Hopefully these are helpful

    Amos 4:7

    And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained NOT WITHERED.

    Isaiah 5:6

    And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

    Job 38:34

    Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? [Read whole chapter]

    Psalms 105:32

    He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

    Proverbs 25:23

    The north wind driveth away rain: so does an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

    Job 24:19

    Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so does the grave, those which have sinned.

    Job 37:6

    For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

    Isaiah 55:10

    For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but water the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

    Proverbs 30:4

    Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is HIS name, and what is his SON'S name, if thou canst tell?

    2 Chronicles 7:14

    IF MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, SHALL HUMBLE themselves, and pray, and seek MY FACE (not my hand), and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

    NOTE: our nation is in severe drought.

    One rogue lightning storm can set dry forests on fire. Pray every day for refreshing to come again.

    No rain, no harvests, less food, even higher food prices at the store.

  • AJ on Job 24 - 4 years ago
    I believe in Jesus Christ, Lord and savior; the Farther and Holy spirit. I do not understand the scriptures that i read, or how to apply them in this world in this time. But pray that i will be giving that understanding and the ability to conduct myself in that manner when presented; i fail every day. All i can do is keep trying everyday that i am given. Job is an example for a sinner like me.

  • Bryan McCloud on Job 24 - 8 years ago
    Job was a great man of faith next to Jesus, but I also believe that Abraham was also a great man of faith. We received God's promise because of Abrahams faith.

    Oh thank you LORD for being so merciful to us. Your love is so clearly seen in your perfect truth when you warn us as to exactly what time it is. You wake us up with your utterance and by showing us the TERROR ISIS etc. throughout this wicked world. You give us perspective of timing in verse 19 by highlighting the CALIFORNIA DROUGHT. We can never thank you enough LORD JESUS but we can be obedient and warn others of the evil to come. Thank you Father and blessings to all who yearn for the knowledge of the truth. Amen
