Sit, Walk, Stand
Good morning! You just woke up and now it’s time to get dressed and grab your tools before heading out to work. You may be a carpenter, business executive, or local chef. Now that you’re ready to go, you just walk out to your car (or truck) and head off.
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. In Job 38:1-30, God lovingly encouraged Job to remain committed and listen to the truth.

We have seen that the Book of Job, the first written revelation, can act as a transition between God’s celestial and written Word. In Job 38:1-30, God lovingly encouraged Job to remain committed and listen to the truth. Then God recounted great truths for Job: His original creation, Lucifer’s rebellion and the destruction it brought, how God restored heaven and earth. We have also seen that God made known to Job His magnificence in the Great Deep, in the Heavens, and in the Great Waters. Now we will see how God explains the great story in the heavens to Job–the story of the coming Messiah.
