Part Two - In Our Image - How Old is the Celestial Body

The book of Job extends from a group of spoken lessons taught by the Sages, of whom Job was a member. One of the hallmarks of the Sages teaching techniques were the use of parables, “Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,”, probable as a tool to keep the audience’s attention so that the deeper meaning would not be lost to the student. The oldest fragments of the book of Job, and the oldest fragments of the book of Genesis date for the same time period, the fifth or sixth century B.C. With and approximate date for the life of Job, himself, to be somewhere around two thousand B.C. It is Mosses that brings the Tora down from the mountain of Sini after a forty-day sabbatical with God in the book of Exodus. This event gives us the first section of our modern bible, the Law. The books of the Profits forming the second section, and finally the Ketuvim (Writings) which contains the books of Job, Proverbs, Psalms, and the two books of Chronicles. This forms the entirety of the Old Testament biblical cannon.

The chastisement of Job, beginning in chapter thirty-eight, is amazing in the fact that one on hand it is a tail of the ancient Earths past. This requires a solid scientific understanding of the formation of the Earth and some of the processes with in it. However, on the other hand, it outlines the appearance of the Messiah, as well as the resurrection and the Second Advent. The focus shifts back to scientific understanding in the description of Behemoth (H929) in chapter forty. Here you find an unspoiled description of a quadrupedal herbivore known as Brontosaurus. This is a genus of gigantic quadruped sauropod that lived 157.3 million years ago - 145 million years ago.

Job 38:1

Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Job 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
Job 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
Job 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
Job 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
Job 38:19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
Job 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
Job 38:21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

ClLuk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
