Comforted by god, it was job. if anybody ever went through
00:02:52.118 --> 00:02:53.486
If anybody ever went through severe trials, it was job.
00:02:53.553 --> 00:02:57.557

00:03:02.362 --> 00:03:04.063
Who did not know what was going on.
00:03:04.130 --> 00:03:05.798
Was going on. there was a contest,
00:03:05.865 --> 00:03:08.067
There was a contest, a conclave, a gathering
00:03:08.134 --> 00:03:09.902
A conclave, a gathering in heaven between
00:03:09.969 --> 00:03:11.337
In heaven between angels and lucifer came.
00:03:11.404 --> 00:03:14.907
Angels and lucifer came. the bible said,
00:03:14.974 --> 00:03:15.608
The bible said, he came from walking
00:03:15.675 --> 00:03:16.876
He came from walking the earth going
00:03:16.943 --> 00:03:17.977
The earth going to and fro, up and down.
00:03:18.044 --> 00:03:20.246
To and fro, up and down. and god allowed him access,
00:03:20.313 --> 00:03:21.748
And god allowed him access, and he said,
00:03:21.814 --> 00:03:22.382
And he said, "where have you been?"
00:03:22.448 --> 00:03:23.950
"where have you been?" he said, "i've been
00:03:24.017 --> 00:03:24.651
He said, "i've been walking in the earth,
00:03:24.717 --> 00:03:26.219
Walking in the earth, going around checking out
00:03:26.286 --> 00:03:28.521
Going around checking out different people."
00:03:28.588 --> 00:03:30.757
Different people." and god's the one who

And god's the one who brought job up, god said,
00:03:31.858 --> 00:03:33.626
Brought job up, god said, "have you considered
00:03:33.693 --> 00:03:34.360
"have you considered my servant, job?
00:03:34.427 --> 00:03:35.595
My servant, job? have you noticed him how that,"
00:03:35.662 --> 00:03:38.264
Have you noticed him how that," listen to the words,
00:03:38.331 --> 00:03:39.232
Listen to the words, "he fears god,
00:03:39.299 --> 00:03:40.266
"he fears god, and he loves me?
00:03:40.333 --> 00:03:42.001
And he loves me? and he holds fast
00:03:42.068 --> 00:03:43.903
And he holds fast to his integrity."
00:03:43.970 --> 00:03:45.238
To his integrity." almost rubbing it into
00:03:45.305 --> 00:03:47.874
Almost rubbing it into the fallen angel named lucifer.
00:03:47.940 --> 00:03:50.109
The fallen angel named lucifer. it's almost like he's saying,
00:03:50.176 --> 00:03:51.678
It's almost like he's saying, "he holds fast to his integrity
00:03:51.744 --> 00:03:54.180
"he holds fast to his integrity unlike some angels i know."
00:03:54.247 --> 00:03:57.650
Unlike some angels i know." he didn't say that,
00:03:57.717 --> 00:03:59.018
He didn't say that, but you know you would
00:03:59.085 --> 00:03:59.886
But you know you would feel that if you were
00:03:59.952 --> 00:04:00.820
Feel that if you were standing in the presence
00:04:00.887 --> 00:04:01.888
Standing in the presence of the god you betrayed.
00:04:01.954 --> 00:04:05.191
Of the god you betrayed. and he says, "he's amazing.
00:04:05.258 --> 00:04:06.793
And he says, "he's amazing. do you know him?
00:04:06.859 --> 00:04:08.227
Do you know him? have you noticed him?"
00:04:08.294 --> 00:04:10.129
Have you noticed him?" and he said, "oh, yeah.
00:04:10.196 --> 00:04:11.564

As long as you bless him. if things go wrong,
00:04:16.636 --> 00:04:17.770

You let me attack him. you got a hedge around him
00:04:25.144 --> 00:04:27.013
You got a hedge around him and i can take him down
00:04:27.080 --> 00:04:28.748
And i can take him down and he'll curse you."
00:04:28.815 --> 00:04:31.217
And he'll curse you." and god said, "you can attack
00:04:31.284 --> 00:04:32.485
And god said, "you can attack everything that he's got,
00:04:32.552 --> 00:04:33.753
Everything that he's got, only don't touch his body."
00:04:33.820 --> 00:04:36.022
Only don't touch his body." and the first scene ends,
00:04:36.089 --> 00:04:38.324
And the first scene ends, and satan goes
00:04:38.391 --> 00:04:39.158
And satan goes and attacks immediately,
00:04:39.225 --> 00:04:41.227
And attacks immediately, everything that job possessed.
00:04:41.294 --> 00:04:44.130
Everything that job possessed. the bible said he was

The bible said he was the richest man in the east.
00:04:44.864 --> 00:04:47.700
The richest man in the east. the bible said that,

Handsome sons and three beautiful daughters.
00:05:06.686 --> 00:05:08.154
Beautiful daughters. and he was so blessed
00:05:08.221 --> 00:05:10.390
And he was so blessed and in one day the armies
00:05:10.456 --> 00:05:14.427
And in one day the armies attacked and stole all of his,
00:05:14.494 --> 00:05:18.197
Attacked and stole all of his, all of his animals and killed

And all of his servants along with it.
00:05:24.003 --> 00:05:24.704
Along with it. every employee that

He had was killed. the businesses
00:05:28.141 --> 00:05:29.308
The businesses were burned down,
00:05:29.375 --> 00:05:30.610
Were burned down, he lost it all.
00:05:30.676 --> 00:05:32.812
He lost it all. and right on the heels
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:33.880
And right on the heels of that comes another
00:05:33.946 --> 00:05:35.148
Of that comes another servant saying,
00:05:35.214 --> 00:05:36.215
Servant saying, "job, your beautiful family,
00:05:36.282 --> 00:05:39.218
"job, your beautiful family, those seven handsome sons

And those three beautiful daughters,
00:05:41.721 --> 00:05:42.622
Beautiful daughters, they're dead."
00:05:42.688 --> 00:05:44.624
They're dead." and in that moment,
00:05:44.690 --> 00:05:45.558
And in that moment, job broke and devastated,
00:05:45.625 --> 00:05:47.493
Job broke and devastated, tears his garment,
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:48.828
Tears his garment, falls to the ground weeping,
00:05:48.895 --> 00:05:52.098
Falls to the ground weeping, and he says these
00:05:52.165 --> 00:05:52.832
And he says these powerful words,
00:05:52.899 --> 00:05:54.400
Powerful words, "the lord gives,
00:05:54.467 --> 00:05:55.935
"the lord gives, the lord takes away.

Blessed be the name of the lord."
00:05:59.105 --> 00:06:00.473
Of the lord." and in that moment,
00:06:00.540 --> 00:06:01.407
And in that moment, i could see just the scene
00:06:01.474 --> 00:06:03.843
I could see just the scene break and lucifer says,
00:06:03.910 --> 00:06:06.112
Break and lucifer says, "you let me do one more thing.
00:06:06.179 --> 00:06:08.314

00:06:08.381 --> 00:06:10.249
You let me attack his body and he'll curse you.
00:06:10.316 --> 00:06:12.051
And he'll curse you. he'll curse you to your face."
00:06:12.118 --> 00:06:13.186
He'll curse you to your face." and god said, "go ahead."
00:06:13.252 --> 00:06:14.420
And god said, "go ahead." job is not aware of this.
00:06:14.487 --> 00:06:17.423
Job is not aware of this. job does not know
00:06:17.490 --> 00:06:19.025
Job does not know what's going on.
00:06:19.091 --> 00:06:20.059
What's going on. god gives no
00:06:20.126 --> 00:06:21.027
God gives no explanation to him.
00:06:21.093 --> 00:06:23.596
Explanation to him. and after a day like that
00:06:23.663 --> 00:06:25.164
And after a day like that you would think that
00:06:25.231 --> 00:06:26.232
You would think that would be enough for anybody,

From the top of his head to the soles of his feet,
00:06:31.637 --> 00:06:33.306
To the soles of his feet, the scripture said.
00:06:33.372 --> 00:06:34.740
The scripture said. agonizing, tormenting

And what's interesting about his story is,
00:07:05.705 --> 00:07:06.839
About his story is, he did not write that book
00:07:06.906 --> 00:07:08.040
He did not write that book or didn't have that book written
00:07:08.107 --> 00:07:10.743
Or didn't have that book written and tell his whole story in
00:07:10.810 --> 00:07:12.845
And tell his whole story in the middle of his trial.

Your story until you get to the end of the story.

Who looked down on their wounds,
00:09:31.217 --> 00:09:32.084
On their wounds, and their wounds began
00:09:32.151 --> 00:09:33.619
And their wounds began to glow mysteriously.

To glow mysteriously. and what it was is amazing.
00:09:35.988 --> 00:09:38.724
And what it was is amazing. bacteria that can make
00:09:38.791 --> 00:09:40.226
Bacteria that can make insects sick,
00:09:40.292 --> 00:09:43.195
Insects sick, had been responsible --
00:09:43.262 --> 00:09:45.097
Had been responsible -- they didn't know this
00:09:45.164 --> 00:09:45.831
They didn't know this for 140 years until 2001
00:09:45.898 --> 00:09:49.802
For 140 years until 2001 when a high school senior
00:09:49.869 --> 00:09:52.171
When a high school senior heard this story,
00:09:52.238 --> 00:09:53.239
Heard this story, his mother was a biologist
00:09:53.305 --> 00:09:55.274
His mother was a biologist and they began to research it
00:09:55.341 --> 00:09:57.143
And they began to research it and they made a phenomenal,
00:09:57.209 --> 00:09:58.911
And they made a phenomenal, historic discovery.
00:09:58.978 --> 00:10:00.479
Historic discovery. and here it is.
00:10:00.546 --> 00:10:02.548
And here it is. "there were worms that came up
00:10:02.615 --> 00:10:04.316
"there were worms that came up in the mud and the rain,
00:10:04.383 --> 00:10:06.986
In the mud and the rain, and they would regurgitate
00:10:07.053 --> 00:10:09.855
And they would regurgitate something in their stomach
00:10:09.922 --> 00:10:12.458
Something in their stomach that would get in the wounds,"
00:10:12.525 --> 00:10:15.094
That would get in the wounds," and i'm making this
00:10:15.161 --> 00:10:15.628
And i'm making this really simple.
00:10:15.695 --> 00:10:16.262
Really simple. you should study it
00:10:16.328 --> 00:10:17.196
You should study it for yourself.
00:10:17.263 --> 00:10:18.330
For yourself. it's amazing.
00:10:18.397 --> 00:10:19.832
It's amazing. "and it would get in the wounds,
00:10:19.899 --> 00:10:22.368
"and it would get in the wounds, and it actually would begin
00:10:22.435 --> 00:10:23.903
And it actually would begin to attack infection."
00:10:23.969 --> 00:10:26.672
To attack infection." that's why it was on the wounds.
00:10:26.739 --> 00:10:28.841
That's why it was on the wounds. it took those worms crawling
00:10:28.908 --> 00:10:31.977
It took those worms crawling in and regurgitating what
00:10:32.044 --> 00:10:35.981
In and regurgitating what was in them that began
00:10:36.048 --> 00:10:37.850
Was in them that began to become an antibiotic,
00:10:37.917 --> 00:10:41.454
To become an antibiotic, this is all proven,
00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:43.723
This is all proven, it became an antibiotic
00:10:43.789 --> 00:10:45.658
It became an antibiotic and they found out
00:10:45.725 --> 00:10:46.892
And they found out that there were,
00:10:46.959 --> 00:10:48.160
That there were, that there were
00:10:48.227 --> 00:10:49.161
That there were the non-glowing men,
00:10:49.228 --> 00:10:52.465
The non-glowing men, their counterparts
00:10:52.531 --> 00:10:53.999
Their counterparts were dying and could not
00:10:54.066 --> 00:10:55.801
Were dying and could not be helped.
00:10:55.868 --> 00:10:57.169
Be helped. the glowing men
00:10:57.236 --> 00:10:59.038
The glowing men had a lower rate
00:10:59.105 --> 00:10:59.872
Had a lower rate of infection and their
00:10:59.939 --> 00:11:01.574
Of infection and their injuries healed faster.
00:11:01.640 --> 00:11:04.009
Injuries healed faster. no explanation.
00:11:04.076 --> 00:11:05.277
No explanation. the doctors soon discovered
00:11:05.344 --> 00:11:07.513
The doctors soon discovered that most of those men
00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:09.181
That most of those men would survive
00:11:09.248 --> 00:11:11.083
Would survive because of the glow."
00:11:11.150 --> 00:11:14.754
Because of the glow." the wounds that glowed.
00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:18.624
The wounds that glowed. that bacteria from
00:11:18.691 --> 00:11:20.626
That bacteria from those worms fought infection
00:11:20.693 --> 00:11:23.596
Those worms fought infection and became an antibiotic.
00:11:23.662 --> 00:11:26.265
And became an antibiotic. job had wounds that
00:11:26.332 --> 00:11:29.935
Job had wounds that glowed in the dark.
00:11:30.002 --> 00:11:32.338
Glowed in the dark. it was the apostle paul

And all of a sudden, as they were stoning stephen,
00:11:42.715 --> 00:11:45.785
As they were stoning stephen, the bible said that,

To shine like an angel." he had that glow.
00:11:51.690 --> 00:11:53.692
He had that glow. and the scripture said
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.760
And the scripture said in the next chapter
00:11:54.827 --> 00:11:56.395
In the next chapter that they came on him
00:11:56.462 --> 00:11:58.297

And witnessed it -- and they laid down
00:12:03.936 --> 00:12:04.970
And they laid down their coats at the feet of
00:12:05.037 --> 00:12:06.305
Their coats at the feet of the young man named saul,
00:12:06.372 --> 00:12:07.673
The young man named saul, that's saul of tarsus,
00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:08.941
That's saul of tarsus, who would become
00:12:09.008 --> 00:12:09.608

As he was calling on god saying, "lord jesus,
00:12:13.579 --> 00:12:14.847
God saying, "lord jesus, receive my spirit,"
00:12:14.914 --> 00:12:15.948
Receive my spirit," he knelt down
00:12:16.015 --> 00:12:17.049
He knelt down and he cried out
00:12:17.116 --> 00:12:18.250
And he cried out with a loud voice,
00:12:18.317 --> 00:12:19.318
With a loud voice, "lord, do not charge

Notice, notice, there it is. you could ask why.
00:12:24.623 --> 00:12:26.258
You could ask why. he could have stood
00:12:26.325 --> 00:12:26.926
He could have stood there and said,
00:12:26.992 --> 00:12:27.526
There and said, "why, god? why?
00:12:27.593 --> 00:12:29.228
"why, god? why? i just stood for what
00:12:29.295 --> 00:12:30.362
I just stood for what was right and they're
00:12:30.429 --> 00:12:31.130
Was right and they're stoning me, why?"
00:12:31.197 --> 00:12:32.398
Stoning me, why?" but he moved from
00:12:32.464 --> 00:12:33.666
But he moved from his why to forgiveness,
00:12:33.732 --> 00:12:39.672
His why to forgiveness, and he fell asleep.
00:12:39.738 --> 00:12:44.009
And he fell asleep. but the glow that he had

00:13:12.471 --> 00:13:13.806
On a street called straight, 'cause god wanted to
00:13:13.873 --> 00:13:14.473

The new testament and he said, "i'm willing
00:13:21.146 --> 00:13:23.048
And he said, "i'm willing to spend and be spent.
00:13:23.115 --> 00:13:25.885

You've gone through, and don't lay in it and ask

And don't lay in it and ask the rest of your life, why?
00:13:38.264 --> 00:13:39.999
The rest of your life, why? if god lets you walk through it,
00:13:40.065 --> 00:13:42.334
If god lets you walk through it, it's because he's still god
