HAPPY SABBATH + THE LIFE OF JOB: Something To Really Think About!








Job Had Seven Sons And Three Daughters:
Let's Call Them Seven Perfect Priests
And
Three Good Churches!

Job Had Substance!
By Today's ... Or Any Other Day's Standards
He Was Filthy, Stinking, Rich
With A Striking Difference:
Job Hates Evil!
Job
Is
Perfect In Almighty God's Sight!
Job Fears God After The Godly Sort!
And Is
An Intercessor ... A Man Of Faith And Prayer!

Job Had Seven Thousand Sheep And Three Thousand Camels!
Let's Call The Sheep Clean Sacrifice And Food!
Sheep Are Obedient!

Let's Call The Camels Burden-Bearers And Transportation!
Camels Are Unclean Animals!

Job Also Had Five Hundred Yoke Of Oxen
And
Five Hundred She-Asses!
Oxen Plow The Fertile Soil And Tread Out Grain!
They Are Also Clean Animals
Good For Sacrifice Unto The Holy God!

She-Asses Are Stubborn Burden-Bearers!
Nevertheless, One Will Some Day Carry
The Savior Of Us All!

For A Five And Five Split
Let's Call The Oxen Wise Virgins
And
The She-Asses Foolish Virgins!

Job Is The Great Householder!
Job Had One Adversary!
Job Lost All His Earthly Possessions
Through The Machinations
And
Malevolent Hatred Of The Adversary Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Satan, The Damned!

Satan Thought ... Planned
Supposedly Foresaw That Decimating Job
- The Patriarch
The High Priest Of The Household -
Of Health, Wealth, And Progeny
That He, Forsaken, Broken, Rejected
And
Obviously Reviled By Heaven
Would Cast Away Faith
Deny Truth
Sell Eternity For Dust
And
Curse Almighty God
And
Die The Death
The Second Death
Through His Own Very Personal Sin!

Surprise, No Surprise ...

Job Kept His Integrity!
Job Prayed, Pleaded, Beseeched:


Though You Slay Me
Yet I Will Trust You!
I Know That My Redeemer Lives!
I Will Be Satisfied
When I Awake With Your Likeness!


Last Day Events ...

The Seventh Church
The Laodicean Church:
The Judging Of The People:

War Shall Be Over The Seventh-Day Sabbath 
Aka Worship!

Three Adversaries:
Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs
Representing
The Dragon
The Beast
The False Prophet
Aka Satan
Roman Catholicism
And
Apostate Protestantism In America!

The Church Is Waiting!
All Are Asleep!
Some Went To Sleep Prepared!
Some Went To Sleep Unprepared!

The Loud Cry Sounds:

The Bridegroom Is Coming!!!

All The Church Of God Is Awakened!

Five Wise Virgins ... Having Kept The Faith That Cannot Fail
Have Extra Oil ... The Holy Spirit
To Refill, Replenish, Their Lamps 
Which Had Gone Out While They Slept! 

The Five Foolish Virgins
Having Not Fortified Their Souls
Their Stores Of Grace With The Oil Of Gladness
From The Spirit Of Truth
Have No Reserves With Which To Re-Light Their Lamps! 
They Are Left Bereft 
When The Wise Virgins Wisely Refused
 To Share Their Reserved Oil
Least There Not Be Enough For Any Of Them! 

The Unwise Virgins Must Depart The House Of Hope
And
Hope To Acquire Holy Oil From
The Sellers Who Make Oil, Light, Truth Their Trade! 

While The Five Are From Safety Absent
The Bridegroom Entered His Father's House
And
His Door Was Closed
Because
All Who Were Invited
All Who Had Accepted His Invitation
All Who Chose To Be In Attendance
All Who Were Attired To Fit The Occasion
All Who Were To Attend Him
And
Present There ... As Stipulated 
Were Within
And
Blessed ... Forever! 

Sad To Say ... 

The Five Unwise Virgins
Returned To The House Of Blessing
And
Found The Door Closed! 

These Five Knocked With Determination! 

Their Knock Was Answered With Dedication! 

The Bridegroom Answered Their Cry! 

The Answer Gutted Them:

Depart From Me! 
I Never Knew You! 

And

They Died The Death
In Outer Darkness:

Eternal Separation From The Eternal God
Whose Grace And Mercy They Misused 
By Their Own Personal 
And 
Base Neglect! 

Salvation
Comes
Before Sin
Before Self
Before Satan!

Jesus Has Seven Churches
Aka Church Ages!
Jesus Had Three Temptations!
Jesus Spent Three Days In The Tomb!

Like All Who Will Enter The Great Household On High
We Must ... Like Job
Lose All To Gain All!

The Grace Of God
Given Freely To Every Human
Was Not Cheap To Acquire!
Almighty God The Father
Gave His All ... His Perfect Treasure
To Take All Of Our Sin
So That We ... Believing
May Receive All That
Is 
Jesus Christ's In Glory!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...


Cheap Grace Is Not Grace!
Salvation Without A Changed Life
Is
Damnation!
Blessings Without Faith And Belief Are Base!

Beloved,

No Man Shall Enter Heaven By Default
Because Of A Name
Through An Affiliation
Or With An Offering Of Coins!

Heaven Or Hell
Is
Accessed By Choice
By Word, Deed ... Action:
Your Choice!
Your Decision!
Your Destination!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge
Won't Force You
And
Satan The Adversary Can't Force You
To Decide One Way Or Another!

Be An Informed Consumer
Because
A No-Decision Decision
Is
A Decision For Self, Sin, Satan
And
The Second Death!

Be Wise!
Be Well!
Be Blessed By The Light Of Truth That
Is
The Gospel Of Grace!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

Let The Holy Spirit
Teach You
Feed You
Correct You
And
Direct Your Life ... Today!
