INTRODUCTION:

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research in mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history recorded in the Word of God and in any ancient records from many, which records support it, plus archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, nor concordances, nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God, written and preserved for us in our own language, is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

Job Chapter 2

Job 2:1
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. Job 2:2
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. Job 2:3
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

Job 2:4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. Job 2:5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. Job 2:6 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. Job 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

BOILS:


_______________________________________________________________
Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Boils are very common. They are generally caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, but they may be caused by other bacteria or fungi found on the skin's surface. Damage to the hair follicle allows these bacteria to enter deeper into the tissues of the follicle and the tissue underneath.

Boils may occur in the hair follicles anywhere on the body. They are most common on the face, neck, armpit, buttocks, and thighs. There can be one or many boils. Symptoms A boil may begin as a tender, pinkish-red, swollen, firm area in the skin. Over time, it will feel like a water-filled balloon or cyst.

Pain gets worse as it fills with pus and dead tissue, and improves as it drains. It may drain on its own. More often the patient or someone else opens the boil. The boil:

Other symptoms may include:

_______________________________________________________________

Job 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. Job 2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Job 2:11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. Job 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. Job 2:13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great. Job Chapter 3 Job 3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. Job 3:2-3 And Job spake, and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. Job 3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. Job 3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. Let it be the worst kind of devastating day Blackness of day is really bad weather _________________________________________

Job 3:7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

A day for those who are going to a funeral Job 3:9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: This is a non-existent day! Job 3:10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. Entering into the world is natural, as the doors have to open or mom dies-but he did not want it to be His life upon exiting was a sight of sorrow Job 3:11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? Job wishes he was never born __________________________________________ (Ecclesiastes 7:1 [KJV]) A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. _________________________________________________ Job 3:12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? He wanted to have fallen on the floor to die as a newborn He wanted to die of starvation also as a newborn Job 3:13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, He thinks it would be more peaceful that way, having never been born He is partly right in that this life is a struggle Job 3:14-15 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: These are past tense dead people, spiritually and physically Job 3:16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. Like a stillborn child Job 3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. In the grave a person can no longer bother anyone and a believer in Heaven has his rest Job 3:18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. All earthly, heaven-bound believers have freedom and rest from this world Job 3:19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. All believers are the same spiritually here and literally in Heaven _____________________________________ 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. ____________________________________ Job 3:20-22 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? Job feels that the miserable is not worthy of living There is a misery that makes one wish a lot for death ____________________________________ 2 Corinthians 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: _________________________________________ Job 3:23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? Job looks at this miserable life as a secret trap "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen" Job 3:24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. Early and loud he proclaims his pains Waters go every place and have to be contained to not affect others Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. Apparently this was always on his mind, which may explain his sacrifices for his kids He had fear and was afraid this would happen Maybe the enemy knew this, which was why God allowed it, to allay his fears in the end ________________________________________ Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. ___________________________________________ Job 3:26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. Job thinks this only happens to impassive, idle, inert people? Job Chapter 4 (Job 4:1 [KJV]) Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, _______________________________________ (Gen 36:11 [KJV]) And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. (Gen 36:15 [KJV]) These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz, (Ezek 25:13 [KJV]) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. (Amos 1:12 [KJV]) But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. (Obad 1:9 [KJV]) And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. (Hab 3:3 [KJV]) God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible God came from Teman,.... Or, "may God come from Teman" {t}; since it is part of the prayer of Habakkuk: or, as "from Teman" {u}; as he of old came from thence, a city in the land of Edom, Jer 49:7 it was five miles from Petra, in Idumea, where was Mount Seir, from whence the Lord arose, and shone forth from Mount Paran, at the giving of the law, De 33:2 to which the allusion is here. So the Targum, "at the giving of the law to his people, God was revealed from the south;'' for so Teman signifies. Eliphaz is an Edomite, of Esau _______________________________________ (Job 4:2 [KJV]) If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking? He thinks that their presence causes grief-he is about to prove himself correct Withholding from speaking was their best idea (Job 4:3-4 [KJV]) Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. Eliphaz recognizes Job's accomplishments (strength for others, encouragement (Job 4:5 [KJV]) But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. He then completely fails to understand how bad Job has it, though. (Job 4:6 [KJV]) Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? It seems that this is mocking God (fear of, hope in, uprightness of) (Job 4:7 [KJV]) Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. He is declaring Job guilty and worthy of this as judgment, rather than testing. Eliphaz is an Independent, Fundamental Baptist, hypocritical, loud preacher (Job 4:9 [KJV]) By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. This is both a true statement and a lie The Truth The wicked do perish in this way This is also an inappropriate and untimely statement This is also an inapplicable statement (in regards to Job) This statement, however, could apply to Eliphaz himself! The Lie (Eccl 9:2 [KJV]) All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. Bad things happen to good people Bad things happen to bad people Good things happen to good people Good things happen to bad people (Job 4:10 [KJV]) The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. Eliphaz proclaims that the proud are humbled Again, a truth, but not applicable to Job (Job 4:11 [KJV]) The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad. Eliphaz is a Darwinist, since he thinks that the proud lions do not survive, just the strong champions. (Job 4:12 [KJV]) Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. Some things never change.....Eliphaz is a Charismatic New Ager Eliphaz has "itching ears" (2 Timothy 4:3 [KJV]) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; (Job 4:13 [KJV]) In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, Trusting in the interpretation of dreams is risky business... It starts with a vision, but he does not say what the vision was (Job 4:14-16 [KJV]) Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, A vision then leads to "a spirit" which causes fear, trembling, shaking, hair on end. This should be a clue to Eliphaz that this is not from God This is also a clue that he should never have brought it up. Had Eliphaz been a godly man, then this could have turned out to be an angel He does not fall down in worship He can't tell what it is yet another clue (Job 4:17 [KJV]) Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? Again, truth that is irrelevant to the situation. Yes, man deserves punishment for sin Yes, man does not deserve anything but hell Yes, man should expect trouble in this life, since rebelling against God gave the angels their just reward But no, this has nothing to do with Job's situation! Eliphaz is like a toothache or a dislocated foot. (Proverbs 25:19 [KJV]) Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. (Job 4:18-21 [KJV]) Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom. This is pure babbling from someone who does not know God or his angelic creatures, not to mention the fall and the curse Job Chapter 5 (Job 5:1 [KJV]) Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? Which saints will Job turn to? The "if" implies that no one will answer Apparently not to Eliphaz! What a horrible thing to say! (Job 5:2 [KJV]) For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. Wrath also kills the wise man, and the serious one, as well as the foolish and silly one Again, truth that is untimely Eliphaz needs Proverbs 25:11 _________________________________ (Proverbs 25:11 [KJV]) A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. _________________________________ (Job 5:3-6 [KJV]) I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Now he moves on to "explain" the loss of Job's children-it is because Job is foolish He further tries to "explain" the loss of all of Job's food These troubles, Eliphaz "explains" do not just spring up out of the ground, but are natural nonetheless (Job 5:7 [KJV]) Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. Again, a little truth mixed in with a ton of irrelevance! Man IS born unto trouble, but that does not explain Job's situation. One wonders if Eliphaz would accept his own "explanation" if the situation were his. (Job 5:8 [KJV]) I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: I wonder if he really would seek God, since he hasn't yet He does not appear to even know God, nor does God know him For what reason would he seek God? Answers? A fix? I suspect he thinks Job needs to repent of something (Job 5:9-12 [KJV]) Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. Eliphaz gets a few things correct: God does marvelous things God does provide the rains He helps the mourner and lifts the humble He humbles the exalted ____________________________________ (1 Peter 5:5 [KJV]) Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: ____________________________________ (Job 5:13-16 [KJV]) He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. A few more correct things: God does allow people's own folly to take them down He throws their counsel away forthwith, swiftly and immediately once He decides to move They are then in the dark as to what exactly happened to their "perfect plan" He is a rescuer of the poor from the wicked rich He gives hope to the poor He shuts up the sinful man (Job 5:17 [KJV]) Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: CHASTEN, v.t. 1. To correct by punishment; to punish; to inflict pain for the purpose of reclaiming an offender; as, to chasten a son with a rod. I will chasten him with the rod of men. 2 Sam 7. 2. To afflict by other means. As many as I love I rebuke and chasten. Rev 3. 3. To purify from errors or faults. Then Eliphaz returns to his own folly again, supposing that Job needed "correcting" He assumes incorrectly that Job was being chastened Job was not being punished by God Job was not an offender Job did not need purification for his errors or faults His children were taken-what about their errors and faults? (Job 5:18-26 [KJV]) For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. More irrelevant truth from Eliphaz (Job 5:24 [KJV]) And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Again, he assumes that this is because Job sinned that this happened to Job. (Job 5:27 [KJV]) Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. Who is this "we" who has searched this out? Job Chapter 3
