It was about the tenth hour. <strong><sup>40 </sup></strong>One of the two who heard John <em>speak</em> and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter&#8217;s brother. <strong><sup>41 </sup></strong>He first *found his own brother Simon and *said to him, &#8220;We have found the Messiah&#8221; (which translated means Christ). <strong><sup>42 </sup></strong>He brought him to Jesus. When Jesus looked at him, He said, &#8220;You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas&#8221; (which is translated Peter).</p><p><strong><sup>43 </sup></strong>On the next day, He desired to go into Galilee, and He *found Philip. And Jesus *said to him, &#8220;Follow Me.&#8221; <strong><sup>44 </sup></strong>Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. <strong><sup>45 </sup></strong>Philip *found Nathanael and *said to him, &#8220;We have found Him of whom Moses in the Law and <em>also</em> the Prophets wrote&#8212;Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.&#8221;<br><strong>(John 1:34-45 LSB)</strong></p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png" width="328" height="328" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:500,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:328,&quot;bytes&quot;:35346,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3>Dr. R.

For I will accept him so that I may not do with you <em>according to your</em> folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.&#8221; <strong><sup>9 </sup></strong>So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite <em>and</em> Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Yahweh told them; and Yahweh accepted Job.</p><h3>Yahweh Restores Job&#8217;s Fortunes</h3><p><strong><sup>10 </sup></strong>And Yahweh restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and Yahweh increased all that Job had twofold. <strong><sup>11 </sup></strong>Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the calamity that Yahweh had brought on him. And each one gave him one qesitah, and each a ring of gold. <strong><sup>12 </sup></strong>And Yahweh blessed the latter <em>days</em> of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. <strong><sup>13 </sup></strong>He also had seven sons and three daughters. <strong><sup>14 </sup></strong>And he named the first Jemimah and the second Keziah and the third Keren-happuch. <strong><sup>15 </sup></strong>Now in all the land no women were found so beautiful as Job&#8217;s daughters; and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers. <strong><sup>16 </sup></strong>And after this, Job lived 140 years and saw his sons and his grandsons, four generations. <strong><sup>17 </sup></strong>Then Job died, an old man and full of days.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png" width="328" height="328" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:500,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:328,&quot;bytes&quot;:35346,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3>Dr. R.

For I will accept him so that I may not do with you <em>according to your</em> folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.&#8221; <strong><sup>9 </sup></strong>So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite <em>and</em> Zophar the Naamathite went and did as Yahweh told them; and Yahweh accepted Job.</p><h3>Yahweh Restores Job&#8217;s Fortunes</h3><p><strong><sup>10 </sup></strong>And Yahweh restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and Yahweh increased all that Job had twofold. <strong><sup>11 </sup></strong>Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the calamity that Yahweh had brought on him. And each one gave him one qesitah, and each a ring of gold. <strong><sup>12 </sup></strong>And Yahweh blessed the latter <em>days</em> of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 pairs of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. <strong><sup>13 </sup></strong>He also had seven sons and three daughters.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png" width="328" height="328" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:500,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:328,&quot;bytes&quot;:35346,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nomv!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc0555a7f-c0a3-4e78-87b3-e1302cd9edf1_500x500.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3>Dr. R.

Yahweh, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. <strong><sup>2 </sup></strong>And Yahweh said to Satan, &#8220;Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand delivered from the fire?&#8221; <strong><sup>3 </sup></strong>Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel. <strong><sup>4 </sup></strong>And he answered and spoke to those who were standing before him, saying, &#8220;Remove the filthy garments from him.&#8221; Again he said to him, &#8220;See, I have made your iniquity pass away from you and will clothe you with festal robes.&#8221; <strong><sup>5 </sup></strong>Then I said, &#8220;Let them put a clean turban on his head.&#8221; So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.</p><p><strong><sup>6 </sup></strong>And the angel of Yahweh testified to Joshua, saying, <strong><sup>7 </sup></strong>&#8220;Thus says Yahweh of hosts, &#8216;If you will walk in My ways and if you will keep the responsibility <em>given by</em> Me, then you will also render justice in My house and also keep My courts, and I will grant you access to walk among these who are standing <em>here</em>.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"
