Job 6 – Job Responds to Eliphaz Part 1: “My Complaint Is Just”
If my calamity was laid in the balance, it would be heavier than the sand of the sea. He admits his words have been rash. The arrows of the Almighty are in him. His spirit drinks their poison. The terrors of God are against him. Food is loathsome to him. He begs for his request that God would fulfill his hope that God would loose his hand and crush him and cut him off. This would be a comfort to…
Job 5 – (1) Eliphaz’ Thoughts Part 2: “The Innocent Prosper”
Is there anyone who will answer Job. Vexation kills the fool, jealousy slays the simple. The fool takes root, his children are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and no one to deliver them. The hungry eat his harvest, and the thirsty pant after wealth. Afflication doesn’t come from the dust, nor trouble from the ground. Man is born for trouble as the sparks fly upward. Eliphaz would seek and commit his cause to God who is…
Job 4 – (1) Eliphaz’ Thoughts Part 1: “The Innocent Prosper”
Eliphaz answered – If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Who can keep from speaking? Job had instructed many, and strengthened the weak. His words upheld the stumbling and strengthened weak knees. But he says now it (stumbling and weakness) comes to Job and he is impatient, it touches him and he’s dismayed. He implies that Job isn’t putting his confidence in the fear of God. He tells Job that the innocent never perished, the upright…
Job 3 – Job Laments His Birth
He cursed the day of his birth. Let that day perish, be darkness, gloom and darkness claim it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the hear, let that night be barren, let no joyful cry enter it. Curse the day. Let it hope for light and have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning. All because it did not shut the doors of his mother’s womb, nor hide trouble from Job’s eyes. Why did I not die at…
Job 2 – Satan Attacks Job’s Health, Job’s Wife, Job’s 3 Friends
Again the sons of God came to God and Satan came too. Satan again came from going to and fro on the earth. God asked Satan again if he considered Job, and how Job is still righteous and holds fast his integrity even though Satan sought to incite God against him to destroy him for no reason. Satan said, “Skin for skin!” He argued that if Job’s flesh is impacted that he will curse God to His face. God gave…
Job 1 – Job’s Character & Wealth, Satan Allowed to Test Job, Satan Take’s Job’s Property & Kids
Job was blameless and upright, feared God, turned away from evil. He had 7 sons and 3 daughters, 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 oxen, 500 female donkeys, man-servants. He was the greatest man of all the east. Job rose early in the morning offering burnt offerings for his kids and asked God to forgive them for their sin. He did this continually. When the sons of God came to present themselves Satan came from walking all over the earth. The…

Matthew 28 – Jesus Is Raised from the Dead, The Guards’ Report, The Great Commission
After 3 days Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. There was an earthquake, an angel of the Lord descended and rolled back the stone and sat on it. He looked like lightning and his clothing white as snow. The guards trembled and became like dead men. The angel said not to be afraid, Jesus is risen – look then tell the disciples that He is risen and going before them to Galilee where they will…
Matthew 27 – Jesus before Pilate, Judas Hangs Himself, Jews Shout to Crucify Jesus, Pilate Delivers Jesus to be Crucified, Jesus Is Mocked, Jesus is Crucified, Jesus Dies, Jesus is Buried, The Jews/Romans Secure the Tomb to Ensure No One Takes the Body
The chief priests and elders bound Jesus and led him to Pilate. Judas tried to return the money, they wouldn’t take it, so he threw it down in the temple and he hung himself. They bought a field with the money, and that fulfilled the Bible. Pilate asked Jesus if he was the King of the Jews. Jesus didn’t answer the chief priests and elders, but in response to Pilate said, “You have said so.” He asked if Jesus heard…

After 2 days passover is coming and Jesus will be crucified. The chief priests with Caiaphas plotted to kill him. Jesus was at Bethany in Simon the leper’s house. A woman poured expensive ointment on Jesus’ head. The disciples thought it was wasteful, Jesus said it was beautiful she had prepared him for burial. Wherever the gospel is proclaimed this story will be told in memory of her. Judas was paid 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus. They ate…
