Torah Portion Korach Num 16:1 – 18:32 Haftarah 1 Sam 11:14-12-22
Then Job answered YHVH and said, "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth. Job 40:3,4
Shabbat shalom dearly beloved:
The Book of Job is one of the most important books to understand in this End of Times. This powerful recount contains a most effective KEY that can equip us to be faithful to the end and to receive the Crown of Life!
Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10
Most people are deeply afraid of suffering so they live their lives protecting themselves from it instead of yielding to it. We can see that Y’shua warned the believers of Smyrna of the coming suffering mentioning the devil as the cause of the suffering. “The devil is about to cast some of you into prison...”
Submit therefore to God (faith and trust) Resist the devil (fear and unbelief, anger and bitterness) and he will flee from you. James 4:7
The Devil is to Blame?
In the case of Job, the devil is also to blame for the suffering! The Almighty had an interesting conversation with satan that led to the devastation (SHOA!) of Jobs life!
“YHVH said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." Job 1:8
The answer of satan is as usual an accusing answer! His job description is: The Accuser of the Brethren or the Adversary in Hebrew: Hasatán.
Then Satan answered YHVH, "Does Job fear God for nothing? "Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. "But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face." Job 1:9-11
Satan ¨threw a glove¨ to YHVH and invited Him to a duel or to a bet: ¨I bet You that Job will curse You if you remove Your hedge of protection!¨
YHVH took on the challenge that satan threw Him without batting an eye lid as if Job´s life or suffering that would ensue from this ¨bet¨ meant nothing much to the Almighty. It actually feels like two Super Powers, one Good and one Evil were playing with Job´s life as with a human puppet!
Have you ever felt like God was “playing with you” and actually enjoys to see you suffer?
Then YHVH said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan departed from the presence of YHVH. Job 1:12
We can only imagine the Almighty Judge of the Universe watching from His lofty comfortable Throne in Heaven as His servant and son Job is plagued by satan again and again. Did He weep when Job wept? Did it even hurt Him when His faithful Servant lost his beloved, precious children (that were drunkards and loved pleasure rather than God! Job 1: 4,5,13,18,19))? After all this was his most faithful servant at that time! Satan was beating up Yah’s Friend not an enemy!
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil. Job 1:1
Job must have been OUTSTANDING in his generation for the Bible to have an entire book named Job! The Lord Himself spoke well of him!
For there is no one like him (Job!) on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil. Job 1:8b
We can truly understand if you choose to judge the wicked, sinners that hate you and reject You! But to let satan “mess” with someone like Job, known by all as a righteous and good man? Where is Your Justice Elohim?????
God is UNJUST?
A few days ago I attended the funeral of my own sister that died suddenly of a brain tumor at the age of 47 years old. This was the third funeral of a family member that I had attended in the last six months! I almost attended the funeral of my own son as well but Yah raised him from the dead on the operation table! All that in about six months on my Jubilee Year! Way to go Lord! Is that the way You treat Your most faithful servants and friends? Truly if You are my Friend I do not need any enemies!
We were all numb and pretty shocked at this sudden death (we still are!). Many were weeping around Vivi’s open grave. Some gave spontaneous eulogies on behalf of my sister.
She did not share my faith in Yeshua but rather her own way of believing. She was regarded by many as a wonderful woman that fought for what she believed and for peace between Jews and Arabs. So many people loved her that in a few hours after her death a big crowd gathered to the funeral coming from long distances. She died around 4 AM and was buried about 5 PM that very day! The father of one of her best friends spoke beautiful things about my sister and then he said: We don’t understand why would God take such a wonderful person at such an early age, God is UNJUST!
When he said that there was a hush in the crowd as if most people present agreed with the fact that Elohim is UNJUST for doing such an evil thing and causing so much suffering to all those who remain behind. Especially her children and husband and all that loved her.
All of a sudden the silence was broken by the Rabbi that was leading the funeral: Elohim is ALWAYS JUST he said in a firm tone of voice. I have to correct you so that all may be instructed that He knows what He does and why, there is no unjustice in Him. My other sister (a religious Jew herself) and me silently and painfully agreed with the Rabbi and “amened” his correction that was reluctantly received by all with no understanding. After all what is “just” about the death of such a young, beautiful, loved woman?
How many times have we called Elohim UNJUST because we have had to go through much suffering? All of Israel has been calling Elohim UNJUST since the Shoa (Nazi Holocaust). Most people that have suffered in the world are angry with God and blame Him for all the suffering! Other people are “holier than thou” and they judge those that blame God saying, “it is not God it is satan that did it”! But both in the Book of Job and in Revelation 2 we can see that Elohim/Yeshua allowed satan to hurt His People! In other words satan could have done nothing without Yah’s permission!
Does that exempt the Nazis or satan from judgment? Does this mean that we are to yield to evil forces? Not at all!
We are commanded to RESIST them but only after we SUBMIT to God in it!
Submit therefore to God (faith and trust) Resist the devil (fear, bitterness, pride, disobedience and unbelief) and he will flee from you. James 4:7
This adds a perspective that IF understood will set you free to serve/believe/worship YHVH with abandonment regardless of the circumstances.
Here is a good piece of advice:
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor? James 4:17
1. Don’t judge those that are suffering
2. When YOU suffer without knowing why, refrain from judging God!
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds. Psalms 7:9b
It took Job 39 chapters to discover that pride and self righteousness is a serious sin. And it took his “friends-comforters” the same amount of chapters to stop judging Job!
To be continued ....

A FLOTILLA OF DEATH
As you well know we have been in a very tricky confrontation with a flotilla of boats that tried to invade Gaza filled with political activists from the nations and terrorists that hate Israel and the God of Israel. All over the Israeli newspapers was the word “Lynch!” The nations are lynching Israel for executing her rights to protect her borders from unruly and hateful invaders. The Turkish boat was full of cold weapons aimed at killing. This was not a “peace protest!” In fact Turkey has been growing more and more hateful of Israel. In years past we used to travel to Turkey and about 2 years ago they had translated Hitler’s book Mein Kampf with the Nazi Final Solution against the Jews. The book was OVERSOLD! The Turks were buying this horrendous, criminal and hateful book like it was “candy”! We must remember that the Turkish Empire ruled the Land of Israel for 400 years prior to establishing the modern day State of Israel! There is no such thing as “mild Islam”! Islam is a hateful conquering religion that will not stop until it subjugates and annihilates every Jew and Christian on planet earth. Count on it!
That is why Psalms 83 is so pertinent RIGHT NOW! Please declare it in prayer! This whole Flotilla was a mockery against the God of Israel Himself! And He must intervene to vindicate His Holy Name so the nations can Fear His Name!
Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, and let them be humiliated and perish, that they may know that You alone (not Ala!), whose name is the YHVH, are the Most High over all the earth. Psalms 83:17, 18
