These powers are visible, explicitly or implicitly, in today's painting. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Job 14, Job concludes his reply to Zophar. "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble," says Job. He compares man (including himself) to a flower that is cut down and to a passing shadow. And he asks God why he looks in judgment upon such an ephemeral man as himself. He confesses that no one (including himself) can bring a clean thing out of an unclean. So he asks God to turn from him that he may rest before he dies, since God has set the limits of his life and his time is short (1-6). Even a tree which has been cut down my sprout again, says Job, if it finds water; but man dies and is nowhere to be found. He is like the waters which dry up, even from the sea or from the flood. Likewise man lies down and does not rise again until the heavens are no more. He therefore begs God to hide him in the grave until his wrath has passed; and he asks that God would appoint him a set time and remember him. He does not expect to live again, so he waits for his appointed time to die. He asks God to appoint him a set time (to be judged) before he dies and to once again find him desirable in his eyes. He laments that God is numbering his steps and setting a watch over his sin, his transgression, and his iniquity and retaining it as if it were sealed up and sown into a bag (7-17). As mountains fall and crumble, as rocks are moved from their place, as waters wear away the stones and wash away growing things, so God destroys the hope of man. Always, God prevails against man, and he passes away. God changes man's countenance (as in the pallor of death); and God sends him away. If his sons come to honor, he does not know it; if they are brought low he also does not know of it. In contrast, his closing statement begins with the word "But," which sets up an antithetical parallelism. He has just said that in death man perceives nothing. Here he speaks of the feelings of the flesh without and of the soul within, indicating that he is speaking of someone who is alive and suffering. In his body, says Job, man has pain; and in his soul he mourns (18-22). [ Sermons: Joseph Pipa. Various. ] Bile Chronologies -- Genesis to Revelation [Traditional Patriarchal Chronology.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
