We continue looking at the speech of Eliphaz. What we find is a man who thinks that he can help Job with all his wisdom, which is nothing but a worldly wisdom. Yet his words are quite empty as they are not true reflections of either reality or the situation and character of Job himself.…
We continue with our overview of the book of Samuel and look at the lamentable state of Israel at the time, as typified by the priesthood of the time. Martyn Owens – 1 Samuel
We now look at the first speech of Eliphaz the Temanite, the oldest of Job’s friends. He starts by being kind and seemingly acknowledging Job’s good deeds. But his speech begins to take a turn where he turns accusatory and speaks of a strange and dark vision he has had. Martyn Owens – Job
There is no doubt about it: Job had terrible comforters for friends. We look here at their theology, and how it came from accepted wisdom and tradition rather than from the revelation of God. Martyn Owens – Job
We start a new book — first Samuel. As we come to this book, we look at the whole context of Samuel and the period of time it deals with, as well as the main themes of the book. Martyn Owens – 1 Samuel 3
