“The increase of his house shall depart, And his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.”
Job 20:28-29 KJV
Job’s friend Zophar the Namaathite took it upon himself to speak against the wicked as he called Job, “God will strip them of their sin-soaked clothes and hang their dirty laundry out for all to see. Life is a complete wipeout for them, nothing surviving God’s wrath. There! That’s God’s blueprint for the wicked— what they have to look forward to.” Instead of interceding for his friend, Zophar was accusing Job. The prophet Daniel was a true intercessor who knew to intercede appropriately, ““O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away..” Jesus prayed for those crucifying for Him, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Our great High Priest Jesus, is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens. May we agree with our Intercessor. Amen!
