Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Doth Job fear God for nought?Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house,
and about all that he hath on every side?
thou hast blessed the work of his hands,
and his substance is increased in the land.
But put forth Thine hand now, and touch all that he hath,
and he will curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan,
Behold, all that he hath is in thy power;
only upon himself put not forth thine hand.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said,
Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
But put forth Thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh,
and he will curse Thee to Thy face.
Job 2:7,8

thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. But now it is come upon.jpg)
thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
Job's Reward: And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends:
But put forth Thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh,
and he will curse Thee to Thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan,
Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
Job 9-12/2:4-6

Our Attitude should be that of Job:
---Though He slay me,
yet will I trust in Him:
Job 13:15
---Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer Thee?
I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Job 40:4

and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

---So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she donkeys.
---He had also seven sons and three daughters.
And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
-*-And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
---After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

In Short--EVIDENCE FOR GOD:
"Our conscience, allowing people to realize that some of what we observe around us—things like sorrow, suffering, and death—are not as they ought to be. ---This suggests a standard of right and wrong,
---of good and evil,
---and hints that it originated from Someone other than us."

Leviathan
Leviathan: Symbol of God's Enemy
The Conversation begins with God laying out the 6 days of Creation Week in Order--Identifying Himself as Creator:
Day 1: God created light and separated it from darkness, naming it "day" and "night" (Genesis 1:3-5)
Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof... Job 38:19
Day 2: God created the sky and gathered the waters under the sky, separating them from the waters above (Genesis 1:6-8)
Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is;.Job 38:25,26
Day 3: God created dry land, naming it "land" and the gathered waters "seas" (Genesis 1:9-10)
To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Job 38:27
Day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars, establishing a pattern for time (Genesis 1:14-19)
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Job 38:31
Day 5: God created fish, birds (Genesis 1:20-30)
Who provideth for the raven his food? Job 38:41
Day 6: God created humans in His image, male and female, and blessed them to rule over all living creatures, and created mammals (Genesis 1:26-31)
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? Job 39:1
or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
Job 41:1
Job 41:1
Questions on Leviathan:
Canst thou put an hook into his nose?
or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Will he make many supplications unto thee?
will he speak soft words unto thee?
Will he make a covenant with thee?
wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
Job 41:2-4
Description of Leviathan:
Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.Job 41:19-21
Clue to Symbolism of Leviathan:
He beholdeth all high things:
he is a king over all the children of pride.
Job 41:34
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. Isaiah 27:1
Serpent / Dragon = And the great dragon was cast out,
that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world...

--and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, (Israel was in captivity in Assyria, in the end Christians are in spiritual Babylon)
--and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, (spiritual Egypt is a symbol for the Lost Secular World)
--and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
