jesus in garden We have seen many things in the Book of Job, the first written revelation given to mankind. As such, it can act as a transition between God’s celestial Word about the Messiah and the written Word. God explained to Job the great story in the heavens–the story of the coming Messiah as told in the twelve signs of the zodiac. This story is “The Great Conflict” between good and evil, and the basis of all stories ever since.

We have seen that Job endured many attacks and held fast to his integrity before God. After Job remained faithful to his Creator, God gave him great understanding about the promised mediator and redeemer, the Messiah.

11 Comments on Trail Truth 3—What I Learned

After 9 days of going up and down mountains, I’ve returned to my life in California. Probably avoiding poison ivy is the biggest reason why. Although I admit I do enjoy not having 40 pounds on my back 10-12 hours a day.

I miss being with Rich, and it was odd coming home last night from LAX. The house seemed so different. Even being at the airport with so many people and nothing “green” was odd. But I did meet some nice people and even got to pray in Spanish with a woman heading to Puerto Rico. So, life goes on.

job

We have seen in “God’s Celestial Word: The Book of Job” that the Book of Job was the first written revelation given to mankind. We also saw a structure for the entire Book of Job to help us understand what the story of Job is all about. We are narrowing in on a section of this book where God tells Job about His Word written in the heavens. The subject of the Word is the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
