It stood still, but I could not tell the form of it. An image was before my eyes; silence; then I heard a voice, Job 4:16.
This is a magnificent verse of book of Job in Holy Bible which depicts the encounter by of Image with JOB who is considered to be righteous person by his one of best friend Eliphaz the termanite and at that moment is facing some of most unpleasant experiences of his life. There is nobody with him, even his family members have left him to suffer. At this moment the friend is baffled why he is suffering like this, but after the encounter with this image, he is trembled and perplexed with the silence and voice. This is the same silence and voice which is recorded once earlier in Holy Bible which is mentioned in 1 king 19:12 by Elijah And after the earthquake was a fire, but Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire was a still, small voice. He was undergoing a similar circumstance when he was all alone with no human support. Have you experienced such a situation? If your answer is YES, then read ahead, otherwise there is no point.
When you face such a situation remember what is written in New Testament, BUT WE HAD THE SENTENCE OF DEATH IN OURSELVES, SO THAT WE SHOULD NOT TRUST IN OURSELVES, BUT IN GOD WHO RAISES THE DEAD; 2 Corinthians 1:9. The word of GOD which is manifested in flesh thorough JESUS CHRIST is mine and yours rescue. But the main object of our study in JOB was the IMAGE, that image is JESUS CHRIST, “And GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS IMAGE; IN THE IMAGE OF GOD He created him. He created them male and femaleâ€. Genesis 1:27.
Because “FOR AS THE FATHER RAISES THE DEAD AND MAKES ALIVE, EVEN SO THE SON OF MAN MAKES ALIVE WHOMEVER HE WILLS. FOR THE FATHER JUDGES NO MAN, BUT HAS COMMITTED ALL JUDGMENT TO THE SON, John 5:21-22â€
We have a responsibility as a follower of CHRIST JESUS to tell the world “AND JESUS SAID, I HAVE COME INTO THIS WORLD FOR JUDGMENT, THAT THEY WHO DO NOT SEE MIGHT SEE, AND THAT THEY WHO SEE MIGHT BE MADE BLIND. John 9:39â€
GOD bless you with vision in CHRIST !
