Job 15:14 Change

(1/3) > >>

HoneyLamb56:
How did Job know that there would be a change after he died?  I did a BT search on the phrase "till my change comes" but did not find an answer.  I'm of the belief that we only knew of this change from the New Testament; did the Old Testament prophecy of this change or only that the Messiah would come and that there would be a new Jerusalem?  If it was prophesied, did it fit in Job's timeline?

Hello Diane.

Great question: you might try Ezekiel 37:1- where it prophesies God bringing life to dry bones.
Also Dan 12:2

I'm sure that other members can be of additional help.

Of interest may be the book of Job is most likely the first book of the bible that was written.

From Google:
"The book of Job was written 400 years before Moses in a land east of Edam. The Pentateuch (the first five books by Moses) would have been written after the time of the Patriarchs, so Job would be, by default, the oldest book in the Bible. Job is a Gentile much like Abraham."

John from Kentucky:
One reason it is believed that the Book of Job may be the oldest book in the Scriptures is it contains some of the oldest Hebrew words.  Languages change over time.  Just like the English of Shakespeare and the King James Bible is different from modern English.

The Truth of the Resurrection of the dead and that a change will come has been known by God's people for a long time.

Abraham received certain promises of receiving land that he did not receive before his death.  He died without receiving the promises.
Thus there must be a resurrection for him to receive the promises.
Also in Abraham's Seed (One Seed) would all the nations be Blessed (universal salvation).  Again implies a Resurrection.  As Jesus said, God is the God of the living because all will live unto Him.

Job 14:13 I wish you would hide me in the grave
and forget me there until your anger has passed.
But mark your calendar to think of me again!
