As Job continues to talk out his heart about his sufferings, he spoke some words which sounded like prophetic utterances.
Job Chapter 9 Verses 32- 35
32 “He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him,
that we might confront each other in court.
33 If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together, 34 someone to remove God’s rod from me,
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
35 Then I would speak up without fear of him,
but as it now stands with me, I cannot
In verse 33, Jobs hearts desire was to have a mediator between God and him. verse 34 , he talks about Someone who can remove Gods wrath on him. As I meditate on these verses, I am reminded of these verses
1 Timothy 2: 5, 6
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
Hebrews 12:24
to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
Jesus is the mediator between God and mankind. He paid for our sins and taken away Gods wrath on mankind. Though Job might not have forseen the Time of Jesus birth,death and resurrection, but he made some prophetic utterances which had eternal value.
Acts 2: 29-31
29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.
Two days back I was speaking to Brother Joshua Pilli, and we were discussing whether David was a prophet or does the prophets know what the prophecies are about. In the abover sermon,Peter talks about how David being a prophet saw what was coming and prophesied about Jesus.
Also, in 1 Peter 1:10-12
10 As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11 [h]seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories [i]to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to [j]look.
These verses says that prophets have made careful searches to know about the prophecies they have uttered and what was revealed to them was they were serving the future generations( that includes us).This goes on to say the angels long to look for this times.
I praise God that He has used Job during his sufferings to seek for a mediator even before Jesus time.
How much more you and me need this Saviour "JESUS".
Let us look to this mediator through whom we have eternal life.- Amen
