“O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!”
Job 14:13 KJV
Job continues his argument with God, “So mortals lie down and never get up, never wake up again—never. Why don’t you just bury me alive, get me out of the way until your anger cools? But don’t leave me there! Set a date when you’ll see me again..”. Job knew God’s wrath against sin and had the fear of God in him and he didn’t know that the Messiah would come to deliver mankind from God’s wrath. God had said through Moses “Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.” The fear of God is a respect and honour towards God that causes us not to sin. It was prophesied of the Messiah that “The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. His delight is in the fear of the Lord”. Jesus took the wrath of God upon Him at the Cross for all mankind so that sin would not have dominion over us. In the new covenant through faith in this Blood covenant, we are delivered from sin, just by believing in Christ. Only believe. Amen!
