Questions in Succession

The last of the three times
that Bildad spoke when visiting Job:

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places. Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise? How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
-Job 25:1-6/the complete chapter***Job was a wealthy husband and father and only worshiped the Lord God. Amid a series of calamities, Job was suffering the loss of his children, servants, and beasts, and the health of his body. After 3 of Job's friends began to speak following a weeklong period of silence, the friends spoke questioningly to Job. Eliphaz was the 1st friend to speak. After Job responded to Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar spoke to Job. Eliphaz and Bildad both spoke to Job 2 more times, and Zophar spoke once more before a 4th man, Elihu, began to speak. After Elihu spoke, the Lord God questioned and spoke to Job. Centuries thereafter, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the Israelite tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and Jesus went to Galilee. Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. In the presence of his disciples, sometime before Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven, Jesus spoke of washed and clean.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Job, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
