Jacob and Job are whole
( 1 ) Ge 25:27 And the boys grew : and Esau was a cunning hunter , a man of the field ; and Jacob was a plain "tam" man , dwelling in tents .
.. of the field and Jacob was a whole man, dwelling in tents ..
( 2 ) Job 1:1 � There was a man in the land of Uz , whose name was Job ; and that man was perfect "tam" and upright , and one that feared God , and eschewed evil .
.. Job and that man was whole ..
Notice how both Jacob and Job are the same in character...complete, whole
have the Cross of Jesus before them, with a flow of power from this
in their lives.
( 3 ) Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan , Hast thou considered my servant Job , that there is none like him in the earth , a perfect "tam" and an upright man , one that feareth God , and escheweth evil ? {considered: Heb. set thy heart on}
.. is none like him in the earth, a whole man, ..
( 4 ) Job 2:3 And the LORD said unto Satan , Hast thou considered my servant Job , that there is none like him in the earth , a perfect "tam" and an upright man , one that feareth God , and escheweth evil ? and still he holdeth fast his integrity , although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause . {to destroy...: Heb. to swallow him up}
.. is none like him in the earth a whole ..
( 5 ) Job 8:20 � Behold, God will not cast away a perfect "tam" man, neither will he help the evil doers : {help...: Heb. take the ungodly by the hand} {come: Heb. shall not be}
.. God will not cast away the whole man ..
( 6 ) Job 9:20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect "tam", it shall also prove me perverse .
.. condemn me: if I say, I am whole ..
Some could say Job was proud of his wholeness in God ?
The context does not say Job was proud. One can say I have the
flow of Jesus cross through me....this is not a statement of pride,
though for many looking for sinning excuses in Job, are tempted to
say this....
( 7 ) Job 9:21 Though I were perfect "tam", yet would I not know my soul : I would despise my life .
.. whole .. Job says he is whole,
He has the power of the Cross flowing through him...
so he is still victimized by GOD, and so despises his life...
What he doesn't know is He is victimized by Satan
whom GOD allows... Jesus says to us all to take up His
Cross and follow Him....even like Job we may not understand
our afflictions that humble us, we must be glad of the fires
of affliction for they make us purer jewels of character
for Jesus, to behold the jewels in our crown, created by
Jesus ...and crafted by tribulation....
( 8 ) Job 9:22 � This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect "tam" and the wicked .
.. I said it, He destroyeth the whole ..
( 9 ) Ps 37:37 Mark the perfect "tam" man, and behold the upright : for the end of that man is peace .
.. whole ..
( 10 ) Ps 64:4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect "tam": suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
.. may shoot in secret at the whole ..
( 11 ) Pr 29:10 � The bloodthirsty hate the upright "tam": but the just seek his soul . {The bloodthirsty: Heb. Men of blood}
.. bloodthirsty hate the whole ..
The wicked hate the whole, those who have powers of the Cross
flowing in their lives....
( 12 ) Song 5:2 � I sleep , but my heart waketh : it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh , saying, Open to me, my sister , my love , my dove , my undefiled "tam": for my head is filled with dew , and my locks with the drops of the night .
.. my love my dove my whole ..
