Why<00:16:17.120><c> does</c><00:16:17.340><c> that</c><00:16:17.539><c> brother</c><00:16:17.740><c> over</c><00:16:18.000><c> there</c><00:16:18.179><c> get</c><00:16:18.399><c> so</c><00:16:18.679><c> much</c><00:16:18.840><c> more</c><00:16:19.039><c> than</c><00:16:19.159><c> I</c><00:16:19.480><c> do?</c>

00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.940
Why<00:16:22.679><c> does</c><00:16:22.860><c> that</c><00:16:23.159><c> sister</c><00:16:23.460><c> have</c><00:16:23.659><c> such</c><00:16:23.980><c> lovely</c><00:16:24.360><c> children?</c>

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:34.460
That's<00:16:30.460><c> justifying</c><00:16:30.919><c> yourself</c><00:16:31.899><c> rather</c><00:16:33.220><c> than</c><00:16:33.460><c> God.</c>

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:39.100
He<00:16:36.980><c> was</c><00:16:37.200><c> angry</c><00:16:37.440><c> with</c><00:16:37.620><c> the</c><00:16:37.820><c> three</c><00:16:38.000><c> friends</c><00:16:38.259><c> because</c><00:16:38.659><c> they</c><00:16:38.840><c> had</c>

no<00:16:39.340><c> answer</c><00:16:40.220><c> and</c><00:16:40.820><c> yet</c><00:16:41.039><c> they</c><00:16:41.299><c> had</c><00:16:41.679><c> condemned</c><00:16:42.600><c> Job.</c>

00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:50.940
Elihu<00:16:46.580><c> was</c><00:16:46.860><c> concerned</c><00:16:47.740><c> with</c><00:16:49.159><c> two</c><00:16:49.480><c> major</c><00:16:49.899><c> issues.</c>

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:54.799
First,<00:16:52.139><c> it</c><00:16:52.139><c> was</c><00:16:52.460><c> the</c><00:16:52.639><c> righteousness</c><00:16:53.200><c> of</c><00:16:53.679><c> God</c><00:16:54.100><c> that</c><00:16:54.299><c> was</c><00:16:54.639><c> going</c>

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.940
to<00:16:54.940><c> be</c><00:16:55.200><c> upheld</c><00:16:55.940><c> rather</c><00:16:56.620><c> than</c><00:16:56.919><c> Job's</c><00:16:57.360><c> righteousness.</c>

00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:59.600
God<00:16:58.519><c> had</c><00:16:58.759><c> to</c><00:16:58.899><c> be</c><00:16:59.019><c> vindicated.</c>

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:02.360
That's<00:17:00.019><c> why</c><00:17:00.200><c> the</c><00:17:00.299><c> Lord</c><00:17:00.440><c> Jesus</c><00:17:00.779><c> Christ</c><00:17:01.000><c> went</c><00:17:01.159><c> to</c><00:17:01.360><c> the</c><00:17:01.539><c> cross</c><00:17:01.919><c> to</c>

00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:06.900
demonstrate,<00:17:03.740><c> to</c><00:17:04.099><c> manifest</c><00:17:04.880><c> God's</c><00:17:05.799><c> righteousness.</c>

00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.619
The<00:17:07.319><c> old</c><00:17:07.519><c> man</c><00:17:07.779><c> has</c><00:17:08.039><c> to</c><00:17:08.220><c> be</c><00:17:08.380><c> put</c><00:17:08.539><c> to</c><00:17:08.740><c> death.</c>

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:12.500
The<00:17:09.980><c> body</c><00:17:10.180><c> of</c><00:17:10.480><c> sin</c><00:17:10.680><c> has</c><00:17:11.039><c> to</c><00:17:11.240><c> be</c><00:17:11.380><c> destroyed.</c>

00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.380
He<00:17:13.319><c> taught</c><00:17:13.460><c> us</c><00:17:13.660><c> how</c><00:17:13.819><c> to</c><00:17:14.019><c> live</c><00:17:14.460><c> so</c><00:17:14.680><c> that</c><00:17:14.799><c> we</c><00:17:14.900><c> might</c><00:17:15.119><c> rise</c><00:17:15.519><c> in</c><00:17:15.779><c> Him</c>

00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:18.460
to<00:17:16.700><c> His</c><00:17:16.920><c> way</c><00:17:17.160><c> of</c><00:17:17.400><c> life.</c>

00:17:19.460 --> 00:17:24.619
And<00:17:20.099><c> secondly,</c><00:17:20.920><c> that</c><00:17:20.980><c> suffering</c><00:17:21.440><c> and</c><00:17:21.759><c> deprivation</c><00:17:22.500><c> were</c><00:17:22.859><c> often</c><00:17:23.400><c> intended</c><00:17:23.940><c> by</c><00:17:24.299><c> God,</c>

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.740
not<00:17:24.900><c> so</c><00:17:25.099><c> much</c><00:17:25.279><c> to</c><00:17:25.579><c> prove</c><00:17:25.779><c> a</c><00:17:26.019><c> man</c><00:17:26.259><c> as</c><00:17:26.539><c> to</c><00:17:26.720><c> improve</c><00:17:27.160><c> him</c><00:17:27.400><c> and</c><00:17:27.539><c> to</c>

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:29.500
clear<00:17:27.839><c> his</c><00:17:28.119><c> vision.</c>

00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:36.599
Elihu's<00:17:32.799><c> speech</c><00:17:33.079><c> prepared</c><00:17:33.660><c> Job</c><00:17:33.980><c> for</c><00:17:34.299><c> God's</c><00:17:35.140><c> final</c><00:17:35.500><c> appearance.</c>

00:17:36.619 --> 00:17:40.079
It's<00:17:36.819><c> an</c><00:17:36.940><c> amazing</c><00:17:37.279><c> thing</c><00:17:37.559><c> that</c><00:17:37.740><c> God</c><00:17:37.960><c> actually</c><00:17:38.380><c> appeared</c><00:17:39.460><c> to</c>

00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.059

00:17:43.099 --> 00:17:46.799
Job,<00:17:43.559><c> who</c><00:17:43.559><c> had</c><00:17:43.819><c> questioned</c><00:17:44.259><c> him,</c><00:17:44.700><c> who</c><00:17:44.799><c> had</c><00:17:44.900><c> called</c><00:17:45.039><c> his</c><00:17:45.400><c> integrity</c><00:17:45.880><c> into</c><00:17:46.240><c> question.</c>

00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:52.140
God<00:17:47.619><c> condescended</c><00:17:48.660><c> Stu</c><00:17:49.180><c> to</c><00:17:50.019><c> actually</c><00:17:50.559><c> address</c><00:17:51.160><c> Job.</c>

And<00:17:53.559><c> Elihu</c><00:17:54.140><c> was</c><00:17:54.980><c> vital</c><00:17:55.400><c> to</c><00:17:55.740><c> prepare</c><00:17:56.200><c> Job</c><00:17:56.519><c> for</c><00:17:56.839><c> that</c><00:17:57.380><c> so</c><00:17:58.039><c> that</c>

You<00:42:55.559><c> know</c><00:42:55.880><c> that</c><00:42:56.599><c> as</c><00:42:58.659><c> an</c><00:42:59.579><c> item</c><00:42:59.739><c> of</c><00:42:59.980><c> knowledge,</c>

00:43:00.340 --> 00:43:02.800
you<00:43:00.480><c> know</c><00:43:00.780><c> that</c><00:43:01.000><c> from</c><00:43:01.179><c> the</c><00:43:01.420><c> examples</c><00:43:01.699><c> in</c><00:43:01.960><c> Scripture.</c>

00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:05.539
You<00:43:03.460><c> know</c><00:43:03.699><c> it</c><00:43:03.920><c> from</c><00:43:04.119><c> all</c><00:43:04.300><c> of</c><00:43:04.500><c> the</c><00:43:04.760><c> faithful</c><00:43:05.059><c> and</c><00:43:05.219><c> what</c><00:43:05.380><c> they</c>

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:05.980
have<00:43:05.659><c> endured,</c>

00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:09.699
the<00:43:06.420><c> Josephs</c><00:43:06.920><c> and</c><00:43:07.440><c> the</c><00:43:07.679><c> Jacobs</c><00:43:08.019><c> and</c><00:43:08.280><c> so</c><00:43:08.460><c> on</c><00:43:08.639><c> and</c><00:43:08.719><c> the</c><00:43:08.900><c> Moses.</c>

00:43:09.739 --> 00:43:12.539
You<00:43:10.000><c> know</c><00:43:10.280><c> how</c><00:43:10.460><c> they</c><00:43:10.639><c> were</c><00:43:10.900><c> perfected</c><00:43:11.440><c> by</c><00:43:11.599><c> it,</c>

00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:14.900
but<00:43:13.219><c> it</c><00:43:13.619><c> still</c><00:43:13.800><c> means</c><00:43:14.019><c> you've</c><00:43:14.260><c> got</c><00:43:14.300><c> to</c><00:43:14.380><c> go</c><00:43:14.559><c> through</c><00:43:14.719><c> it.</c>

00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.619
There<00:43:15.280><c> is</c><00:43:15.519><c> no</c><00:43:15.679><c> way</c><00:43:15.860><c> to</c><00:43:16.360><c> sidestep</c><00:43:16.800><c> it.</c>

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:20.960
And<00:43:18.280><c> he</c><00:43:18.360><c> says</c><00:43:18.599><c> to</c><00:43:18.840><c> Job,</c><00:43:19.659><c> remember</c><00:43:19.900><c> Job</c><00:43:20.159><c> had</c><00:43:20.340><c> longed</c><00:43:20.639><c> for</c><00:43:20.760><c> death,</c>

00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:22.980
oh,<00:43:21.260><c> that</c><00:43:21.300><c> you</c><00:43:22.280><c> would</c><00:43:22.440><c> let</c><00:43:22.599><c> me</c><00:43:22.800><c> die.</c>

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:25.539
Why<00:43:23.199><c> do</c><00:43:23.300><c> you</c><00:43:23.380><c> keep</c><00:43:23.539><c> me</c><00:43:23.760><c> alive</c><00:43:24.000><c> if</c><00:43:24.219><c> I'm</c><00:43:24.480><c> doomed</c><00:43:24.679><c> to</c><00:43:24.860><c> die?</c>

00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.199
Elihu<00:43:26.019><c> says,</c><00:43:26.380><c> Don't</c><00:43:26.460><c> long</c><00:43:26.739><c> for</c><00:43:27.199><c> the</c><00:43:27.480><c> night</c><00:43:27.619><c> death</c><00:43:28.039><c> to</c><00:43:28.320><c> come,</c>

00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:32.360
which<00:43:29.800><c> shall</c><00:43:29.980><c> remove</c><00:43:30.300><c> people</c><00:43:30.599><c> from</c><00:43:30.820><c> their</c><00:43:31.039><c> place.</c>

00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:36.300
Incline<00:43:33.300><c> not</c><00:43:33.599><c> to</c><00:43:33.860><c> evil,</c><00:43:34.480><c> to</c><00:43:34.659><c> choose</c><00:43:34.900><c> death</c><00:43:35.219><c> as</c><00:43:35.440><c> turning</c><00:43:35.719><c> to</c><00:43:35.960><c> iniquity,</c>

00:43:36.340 --> 00:43:38.199
which<00:43:36.480><c> is</c><00:43:36.679><c> the</c><00:43:36.840><c> cause</c><00:43:37.019><c> of</c><00:43:37.300><c> death.</c>

00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:40.360
For<00:43:38.519><c> this</c><00:43:38.719><c> thou</c><00:43:38.840><c> hast</c><00:43:39.119><c> desired</c><00:43:39.480><c> more</c><00:43:39.780><c> than</c><00:43:39.940><c> affliction.</c>

00:43:40.579 --> 00:43:44.480
See,<00:43:40.780><c> it's</c><00:43:40.900><c> not</c><00:43:41.079><c> even</c><00:43:41.380><c> right,</c><00:43:42.659><c> on</c><00:43:42.820><c> a</c><00:43:42.920><c> bed</c><00:43:42.980><c> of</c><00:43:43.139><c> great</c><00:43:43.420><c> affliction,</c>

00:43:45.179 --> 00:43:47.679
to<00:43:45.300><c> be</c><00:43:45.579><c> begging</c><00:43:45.880><c> God</c><00:43:46.199><c> to</c><00:43:46.420><c> take</c><00:43:46.599><c> your</c><00:43:46.820><c> life.</c>

00:43:48.699 --> 00:43:51.139
He<00:43:49.179><c> knows</c><00:43:49.440><c> what</c><00:43:49.639><c> you're</c><00:43:49.800><c> going</c><00:43:50.019><c> through.</c>

00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:55.780
It's<00:43:52.139><c> all</c><00:43:52.280><c> those</c><00:43:52.539><c> around</c><00:43:52.860><c> you</c><00:43:53.059><c> that</c><00:43:53.199><c> are</c><00:43:53.380><c> being</c><00:43:53.679><c> impacted</c><00:43:54.699><c> by</c><00:43:55.079><c> it.</c>

00:43:55.940 --> 00:43:58.440
It's<00:43:56.500><c> your</c><00:43:56.639><c> family</c><00:43:57.099><c> and</c><00:43:57.300><c> your</c><00:43:57.539><c> ekklesia.</c>

00:43:59.659 --> 00:44:01.800
You're<00:43:59.940><c> reaching</c><00:44:00.099><c> them</c><00:44:00.320><c> in</c><00:44:00.480><c> ways</c><00:44:00.659><c> you</c><00:44:00.800><c> could</c><00:44:01.079><c> never</c><00:44:01.280><c> reach</c><00:44:01.579><c> them</c>

00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:04.719
by<00:44:02.079><c> just</c><00:44:03.059><c> discussions</c><00:44:03.360><c> with</c><00:44:03.639><c> them.</c>

00:44:05.539 --> 00:44:08.719
So<00:44:05.719><c> that's</c><00:44:06.199><c> what</c><00:44:06.420><c> Elihu</c><00:44:06.679><c> was</c><00:44:06.739><c> saying,</c><00:44:07.059><c> don't</c><00:44:07.280><c> long</c><00:44:07.579><c> for</c><00:44:07.840><c> death.</c>

00:44:09.139 --> 00:44:11.380
That's<00:44:09.519><c> the</c><00:44:09.699><c> reward</c><00:44:09.960><c> of</c><00:44:10.159><c> iniquity.</c>

00:44:13.739 --> 00:44:15.360
Patiently<00:44:14.300><c> endure.</c>

00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.000
That<00:44:15.760><c> honors</c><00:44:16.079><c> God.</c>

00:44:17.340 --> 00:44:20.860
That<00:44:17.599><c> quietly</c><00:44:18.000><c> says,</c><00:44:19.199><c> I</c><00:44:19.280><c> believe</c><00:44:19.699><c> you</c><00:44:19.900><c> know</c><00:44:20.059><c> what</c><00:44:20.260><c> you're</c><00:44:20.480><c> doing,</c>

00:44:20.860 --> 00:44:23.500
in<00:44:21.360><c> spite</c><00:44:21.559><c> of</c><00:44:21.699><c> what's</c><00:44:22.019><c> happening</c><00:44:22.219><c> to</c><00:44:22.579><c> me.</c>

00:44:26.059 --> 00:44:28.099
God<00:44:26.360><c> acteth</c><00:44:26.860><c> loftily</c><00:44:27.360><c> in</c><00:44:27.519><c> his</c><00:44:27.760><c> strength.</c>

00:44:28.139 --> 00:44:29.380
Who<00:44:28.320><c> is</c><00:44:28.539><c> a</c><00:44:28.659><c> teacher</c><00:44:28.920><c> like</c><00:44:29.199><c> him?</c>

00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:30.719
Who<00:44:29.579><c> hath</c><00:44:29.760><c> appointed</c><00:44:30.139><c> him</c><00:44:30.320><c> his</c><00:44:30.539><c> way?</c>

00:44:30.780 --> 00:44:33.260
And<00:44:30.880><c> who</c><00:44:31.079><c> dares</c><00:44:31.300><c> say,</c><00:44:32.159><c> thou</c><00:44:32.440><c> doest</c><00:44:32.820><c> iniquity?</c>

00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:34.599
Oh,<00:44:33.619><c> the</c><00:44:33.840><c> greatness</c><00:44:34.159><c> of</c><00:44:34.380><c> God.</c>

00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.920
Paul<00:44:34.860><c> came</c><00:44:35.059><c> to</c><00:44:35.239><c> that</c><00:44:35.500><c> exact</c><00:44:35.900><c> same</c><00:44:37.340><c> conclusion.</c>

00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:40.659
But<00:44:38.659><c> I</c><00:44:38.800><c> think</c><00:44:38.980><c> we</c><00:44:39.139><c> should</c><00:44:39.280><c> leave</c><00:44:39.460><c> it</c><00:44:39.699><c> there.</c>

00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:42.679
And<00:44:41.119><c> tomorrow</c><00:44:41.380><c> we'll</c><00:44:41.739><c> start</c><00:44:41.980><c> with</c><00:44:42.199><c> Elihu</c>

00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:47.579
anticipating<00:44:43.500><c> God's</c><00:44:45.059><c> address</c><00:44:45.559><c> with</c><00:44:46.119><c> the</c><00:44:46.500><c> storm</c><00:44:46.760><c> coming</c><00:44:47.079><c> on</c>

00:44:47.579 --> 00:44:51.099
and<00:44:48.300><c> with</c><00:44:48.719><c> God</c><00:44:48.960><c> answering</c><00:44:49.340><c> him</c><00:44:49.539><c> right</c><00:44:49.739><c> out</c><00:44:49.940><c> of</c><00:44:50.139><c> the</c><00:44:50.340><c> storm.</c>
