So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job./And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
The Spirit uses twice in the same sense as the double portion with regards to Elisha’s Spirit. “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.
Moses gives us a yardstick:” The days of our years are threescore years and ten.”(Ps.91:10) Let us count Job’s age, “After this lived Job an hundred and forty years (70×2). Job received strength twice as much. But with regards to his children the Spirit gives us this information, “He had also seven sons and three daughters.”(42:13). His children taken away on account of Satan’s wager is mentioned in the outset.”And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.”(1:2). His children were already in the presence of God. It is thus we hold the worlds of the Spirit and of the flesh in the land of the living. The world unseen and the world made to appear are never decoupled. (He.11:3) What is unseen is eternal. This is how we treat death of infants and foetuses owing to man’s sins. Similarly we do not accuse God when Israel commit genocide. It proves what the nation cast out of His sight has become. When they turn to Christ they shall be received in the great congregation. The Holy city of God has only single measurement: man-angel’
The term angel we see often mentioned in the last book. “The revelation of Jesus Christ” “and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.”(Re.1:1) and “And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things./Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book. (22:8-9). Cloud of witnesses correspond to us who were made to appear. What do they urge us? “worship God.”
