A Certain Time

From the words spoken by Job after  

 Job initially spoke, and Job's friend Eliphaz 

spoke, when Job was in the midst of suffering:

Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as a hireling looketh for the reward of his work: So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; Then thou  scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not man live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity. What is  man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.-Job 7:1-21/the complete chapter

Then Job answered and said,-Job 9:1...Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.-Job 9:25

Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.-Job 14:1...Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;-Job 14:5

Questions in Succession

Psalm 89 consists of 52 verses,

verses 46-52 are given below:

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Blesssed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.-Psalm 89:46-52***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created  Adam, the 1st man. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. Adam lived for 930 years. Methuselah, the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Adam and Eve, lived for 969 years. Methuselah's grandson Noah the ark builder lived for 950 years. Noah's son Shem lived for 600 years, and Shem's son Arphaxad lived for 438 years. Arphaxad's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Terah lived for 205 years. Terah died and was buried in Haran in northern Mesopotamia. Terah's son Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) lived for 175 years and Terah's daughter Sarah (Sarai)  lived for 127 years. Abraham and Sarah's son Isaac, their only child, lived for 180 years. Jacob (Israel), the youngest fraternal twin son born to Isaac and his wife Rebekah, lived for 147 years. Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, the Promised Land, in the same cave wherein the bodies of Sarah, Abraham, Rebekah, Isaac, and Jacob's 1st wife Leah were buried. Levi was the 3rd son born to Jacob and Leah, and Judah was Jacob and Leah's 4th born son. Over 800 years after Levi and Judah were born, David was born into the tribe of Judah. Over a decade after David was born, Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, anointed David to reign as king in the Promised Land, according to the commands of the Lord God. When David was 30 years old, he began to reign only over the tribe of Judah in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and  Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. When David was 37 1/2 years old, he became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites. When David was 70 years old, he died and his body was buried in the City of David. Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, was the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites. Solomon reigned for 40 years, died, and was buried in the City of David. However, the precise number of years that Solomon lived is not definitively revealed in the Holy Bible. Rehoboam, the son born to Solomon and Naamah, was the 4th king to reign over all of the Israelites. After Rehoboam gave a specific answer, the Israelites split into 2 kingdoms, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of Solomon. Israel was the northern nation, Samaria was the final royal city and Jeroboam, the son born to Nebat and Zeruah, was the 1st king to reign. Judah was the nation in the south, Jerusalem was the royal city, and Rehoboam was the 1st king to reign. Rehoboam reigned for 17 years, died when he was 58 years old, and his body was buried in the City of David. Joash (Jehoash) was Rehoboam's great-great-great-great-grandson. Jehoiada was a priest from the tribe of Levi. Jehoiada's wife Jehosheba (Jehoshabeath) kept 1-year-old Joash alive when Joash's siblings were being killed by their grandmother Athaliah. Moreover, Jehoiada and Jehosheba kept Joash hidden within the priest's quarters in the temple of the Lord until Joash was 7 years old. After Jehoiada, his sons and those with them presented Joash as the rightful ruler, Joash was crowned and anointed and became the 7th king to rule Judah. Athaliah was killed. Jehoiada taught Joash to obey the commands of the Lord God. After 130-year-old Jehoiada died, his body was buried near the bodies of the kings in the City of David. Shortly thereafter, Joash became an idolater. Joash was killed when he was 47 years old, after reigning for 40 years, and his body was buried in the City of David. Over 700 years after Amaziah, the son born to Joash and Jehoaddan, became the 8th king to rule Judah, 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 tribe of Judah, the tribe of Judah's kings, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:127:23, Deuteronomy 31:34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,

upon a mountain with his disciples and

and apostles Simon Peter, James and John,

 when Elijah (Elias) and Moses, prophets

 from centuries earlier, appear, and

the voice of the Lord God is heard:

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they  were talking with Jesus. And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.-Mark 9:1-13

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:-Malachi 4:5 

Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.-Matthew 11:11 ...And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.-Matthew 11:14

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?-Matthew 16:13

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart.-Matthew 17:1...And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.-Matthew 17:10-13

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.-Matthew 28:1...And the angel answered and said uno the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said, Come, see the place where Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.-Matthew 28:5-7

And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.-Luke 9:28

Our Advice You'll Like

And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul. And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.-1 Samuel 16:11-23***Samuel, Saul and David were Israelites born in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Samuel was a priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Jacob and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. David was from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah. After Samuel's mother Hannah  weaned Samuel, she took Samuel to live at the tabernacle complex in Shiloh, according to the vow Hannah made to the Lord God before Samuel was conceived. Samuel eventually established his home in Ramah (Ramathaim Zophim), the city wherein his parents and the rest of the family lived. Saul and his family were from Gibeah in Benjamin, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. David and his family were from Bethlehem in Judah, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Judah. When Samuel was old, and his sons Joel (Vashni) and Abiah were not obeying the commands of the Lord God, and King Nahash and his Ammonite army were preparing to attack, the Israelite elders demanded that Samuel appoint a king to govern them. After Samuel prayed to the Lord God, and heard from the Lord God, Samuel spoke to the Israelites, and spoke to the Lord God, and obeyed the commands of the Lord God, and anointed Saul to reign as king. At least twice, Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God. The Lord God told Samuel that he regretted setting Saul as king and rejected Saul from being king. While Saul reigned, the Lord God sent Samuel to anoint David, a man after God's own heart, to reign as king. After David killed and beheaded Goliath, a gigantic Philistine, David and Jonathan, Saul's son, made a covenant. David was victorious against enemies, and the Israelite women sang of David higher than they sang of Saul, and Saul was angry. Saul wanted to kill David, and told others, including Jonathan, to kill David. David married Saul's daughter Michal, and Michal helped David escape from their home, and David immediately went to Samuel. After Samuel died, the Israelites buried Samuel's body in Ramah. During a battle, the Philistines killed Jonathan and his brothers Abinadab and Malchishua, and Saul killed himself on the same battlefield. Israelite men from Jabesh Gilead retrieved the beheaded and mutilated bodies of Saul and his sons from Beth Shean (Shan), the place in the Philistine region wherein the Philistines had hung them, and buried the bones in Jabesh Gilead. Notably, Jabesh Gilead was on the other side of the Jordan River, in the portion of land that Moses had allotted to 1/2 the tribe of Manasseh, Israelites descended from Jacob and Rachel's firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's firstborn son Manasseh, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Sometime after Israelites from the tribe of Judah anointed 30-year-old David to reign as their king, David sent a message of blessing to the men in Jabesh Gilead. Meanwhile, Saul's son Ishbosheth (Eshbaal) reigned over the other Israelite tribes. After Ishbosheth was murdered, the Israelite elders journeyed to David, and David made a covenant with them. The elders anointed David, and 37-year-old David began to reign over all of the Israelites. During his reign, David retrieved the bones of Saul and Jonathan from Jabesh Gilead and buried the bones in Zelah, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. After 70-year-old David died, his body was buried in the City of David. Over 900 years after Solomon, the 2nd child born to David and Bathsheba, became the 3rd king to reign over all of the Israelites, 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 in Bethlehem, into the tribe of Judah, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-11:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Sounds Like a Plan

From a letter written by the apostle Paul

to believers in Rome:

But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.-Romans 15:23-33***Over 500 years before Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born in Bethlehem in Judea to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Judea (Judaea) was identified as Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land. Jerusalem was the royal city. During the reign of King Jehoiakim (Eliakim), the 17th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians (Chaldeans) invaded Judah and Jerusalem and King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylon, began looting the temple of the Lord. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah/Coniah), the son born to Jehoiakim and Nehushta, was the 18th king to rule Judah. During Jehoiachin's reign, the Babylonians took more prominent Israelites, including Jehoiachin, his wives and mother, to Babylon. During the reign of Jehoiakim's brother King Zedekiah (Mattaniah), the 17th king to rule Judah, the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Over 130 years before Jerusalem was conquered, the Assyrians invaded the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land and, King Tiglath-pileser, ruler of Assyria, began taking Israelites to Assyria. During the reign of King Hoshea, the 19th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, the Assyrians conquered the royal city, Samaria, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry and other wickedness of the Israelites. Before Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, and after Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven less than 33 1/2 years after he was born, the Roman Empire was ruling the land whereupon the kingdoms of the Israelites previously stood. Israelites were living throughout Judea, Samaria and the surrounding provinces, and Romans and other Gentiles, people not born into the Israelite tribes, were also living throughout the land. Paul (Saul) was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, and Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Paul did not believe Jesus to be the Christ. Throughout Jerusalem, Paul persecuted and imprisoned any Israelite who called upon the name of Jesus. When Paul was journeying to the synagogues in Damascus, Syria, to find, bind, and take to Jerusalem any Israelite believers he found, Paul and those with him saw a light from heaven flash around them. Paul heard the voice of Jesus speaking to him, and Paul spoke to Jesus, and obeyed Jesus. In Damascus, Paul was baptized. From thenceforward, Paul the apostle journeyed and wrote divinely inspired letters, teaching Israelites and Gentiles the good news of Jesus the Christ and everlasting life. Timothy (Timotheus) and Silas (Silvanus) were with Paul during at least 1 journey to Macedonia, a Roman province and country north of Achaia (Greece). Moreover, Timothy and Silas journeyed together from Macedonia to help Paul in Achaia.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-19, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-84, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon

How Now Has This Come About

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.-Matthew 13:53-58***When Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born in Bethlehem in Judea into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph after being conceived of the Holy Spirit in Mary's womb when Mary was a virgin, Jesus was the only child in their family. When Joseph, Mary and Jesus were staying in Egypt after an angel of the Lord appeared and spoke to Joseph in a dream, Jesus was the only child in their family. Sometime after an angel of the Lord appeared and spoke to Joseph in a dream, and Joseph, Mary and Jesus returned to Judea, and Joseph received another divine warning in a dream, Joseph, Mary and Jesus lived in Nazareth, Joseph and Mary's hometown. Nazareth was in Galilee, and other children were eventually living in the household. 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, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Jesus marveled because of the unbelief among the Israelites, and Jesus taught his disciples revelations regarding their little faith.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

unbelief = apistian/apistia/apistos = unfaithfulness, lack of faith, distrust, faithlessness

Reference Scriptures:

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.-Matthew 21:10-11

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.-Luke 4:14-15...And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?-Luke 4:22...And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.-Luke 4:24
