“A word was secretly brought to me, my ears caught a whisper of it. Amid disquieting dreams in the night, when deep sleep falls on people, fear and trembling seized me and made all my bones shake. A spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body stood on end. It stopped, but I could not tell what it was. A form stood before my eyes, and I heard a hushed voice: Job 4:12-16
And when it was all over.....Jesus rose again, spirit, body, soul.....death was swallowed up in victory
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” 1 Corinthians 15:54
I am wading through Job now. I am going slow so that I don't miss anything. I have read it and listened to it many times, but I somehow missed this verse. It reminded me of something out of Charles Dickens and the Ghost of Christmas past. Sometimes the Bible surprises me.....
Great post! I had no idea that the Bible spoke of hairs standing on end.I guess we all learn something new every day! God bless....
ReplyDeleteI agree, each time I read the stories something new pops up. Job is such a great book, a real person who stays true to the end, what an inspiration.
