Happy Friday BEAT family! I'm so excited about this video. I know many people are reading through the Bible chronologically with me and thousands of others in our community (allenparr.com/biblechallenge). It's still not too late to join! As we do, we are actually in the book of Job (Job lived before Abraham). This exciting brief, but detailed, overview will provide a solid framework for the entire book of Job. I tried something new in this video with my setup. Let me know below whether you like it or not and whether you found this way of learning helpful. Enjoy!
I love the overview of Job. Never realized how early Job existed. Makes me wonder as I go through the Bible chronologically how far Job's story traveled during that time. Makes me wonder about the Exodus and the Hebrews' distrust and "forgetfulness" after crossing the Red Sea.
Hey Allen awesome beautiful teaching but 1 thing I have a view on the last part, Job never lost his children.. you can’t lose what not lost, his 10 children did die but at the end he did get double because after he died he was with his other children, and did Job know that he defeated the devil that day? Because after job you don’t hear anything else from the devil until the New Testament
I really enjoyed hearing a different perspective about his wife. She is judged very often but we tend to forget what she has been through as a mom losing not just one of her children but all of them in a tragic way. It helps us empathize with her a bit and allows us to see what is happening has also affected her life too.
Yeah I agree with you. Not gonna lie, I felt kinda foolish having read this story several times and heard it taught several times and never once considered how she must've felt and what she too was going through.
Who are you referring to ?? A woman list her children? Maybe I need to listen to the video and not read comments first... I bad... just always jumping ahead !! Oh now he is talking about the mystery lady from Bible !!! 😊
35:34 - “Our true friends are revealed in our darkest moments.” So true. I’m grateful for my brothers and sisters in Christ who have consistently been there through the highs and lows of life.
Amen. I love the sheer amount of Copium Chrisitans nowadays I mean, it's obviously so hard to grow up in the Internet-Age and blending-out every Squaremeter of Reality yelling 'HEY, DIDCHA KNOW SCIENCE DEBUNKED THE BIBLE?' People cope differently with the objective fact that it's objectively proven that countless different Things in the Bible literally never happened, but dont worry, that's what Copium is for. The Flood never happened, Evolution is proven so prove-tastic that it's literally taught in Schools, ect, ect, ect, ect and super-ect. BUT DONT WORRY, this 'SOMEHOW' DOESNT MEAN the Bible is B.S!! 'Its actually not a Contradiction, look, we just have to do 25 little Twists and blink-unhealthily and it suddenly looks Right!" is one way. But just in general: The sheer amount of Excuses being made-up is awe-inspiring. Excuses is all you have, my Dear Jesus-Followers. Unfortunately, this doesnt always work: In fact, the Internet-Age (the Ability to now find facts easy) has led to countless People leaving Faith. And OH JOLLY, even if we ignore thos that legit say 'Awww, it's that damn pop-music! Those rapper's songs!! They spread Atheism!", even IF you dont say THAT, you still need Copium and Excduses and Coping... You need to keep going, my brothers and sisters in christ! YOU NEED to avoid thinking why truth and facts literally make people leave your Group! DONT THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT!!! Amen. Of course we know why Crime happens and what it does, but let's blame the Devil to avoid having to study Social Issues and such! Amen.
For a breakthrough understanding of the Book of Job, see the new novel "Where Do We Go Now, LORD? - Burke." Are seminary and church leaders open to higher ground? No? Well, Moses was open to higher ground. So be like Moses? Enjoy this breakthrough!
@@thebeatagp I watch your interview with Ruslan, i love the genuine passion you have for teaching GOD WORD, teaching for you was never about money, but just deep love and desire to serve GOD. I am glad GOD brought your desire to serve HIM into fruition, praying, teaching, and encouraging many. May you continue to be a humble instrument of HIS Wisdom.
Thank you for this breakdown. 2 years ago when I lost my second daughter at 11mo, after being rebellious, the book of Job helped me come back to God. I remember one of my 'friends' saying that perhaps her death was a lesson God was trying to teach me. What a statement! Looking back, as much as I felt as if God wasn't with us then, I realise that he was with us every step of the way. We are in a much better place as a family. God bless your ministry
The book of Job is the oldest scripture in all of the Bible. Chronologically it is the first book of the Bible. An amazing story of faith and perseverance from a non Jewish person. God is so good. Thank you for your word Heavenly Father and thank you brother Allen for covering this.
I’ve been struggling with miscarriages and infertility for the past 5 years. I have been trying to figure out why I’m not getting pregnant but others around me are. Lesson number 7 WRECKED ME!! It was immediate tears. Thank you for this so much. This has changed my life and way of thinking. 💕❤️
Same here. I responded to Lesson 7 as well. The way I had to find peace with it is to accept that God's will for my life is perfect and anything outside of that would be a detriment to my purpose. He's spoken to me about covetness (wanting things the way others have it) and contentment (accepting what He gives me cheerfully). My husband and I are preparing ourselves to foster a needy child to glorify Him. I am praying that this is the path He wants us to take.
The book of Job is very interesting. I'm excited about going through the whole bible this year. I've always made attempts but never seen it through, but this year, I am determined more than ever. 💪🏾
It’s about testing the peoples faith in God. I had my Book of Job moment. A member from my Church molested my nine year old daughter by shoving a cross in her vagina. It was because God knew how much I put my kids first. It was a test whether I would call the police and trust in man or trust God, forgive and pray like Jesus. Vengeance is for God only not the police. I called the police instead and now was removed from my church. My daughter and I are condemned to hell. I later became an Atheist.
@@gwen_kingdomdaughter24 it’s okay. It happens more often in Christian churches. I think it’s the new norm where children gets abused. We’re glad we left. I just can’t believe Jesus would put us through that all because we don’t worship him as much.
This is what the body needs! Edification and revelation through the word and sound teaching. Versus all of the other madness and everyday prophecies we see on TH-cam. Thank you Allen for remaining humble and displaying humility, even through some of the negative experiences in the TH-cam Christian world. I’ve been watching and I appreciate what I see and learn here.
This last month has been rough for my family. My dad had a seizure for the first time in his life, then learned that it was due to a tumor on his brain, then after removing the mass of the tumor learned it was cancerous and spreading, then learned that it was a special case because it was spreading to both sides of the brain, then learned the cancer itself was in the brain tissue, and then they said he might’ve had it for ten years. With all that I wanted to break and just completely give up and turn from God. But a part of me realized there is no hope leaving God. So I decided to change some things in my life listening to a lot of worship music, reading the Bible everyday, praying, and really taking time for God to grow in me. I didn’t realize how much I needed God until recently, and I’ve never been more heartbroken and joyful at the same time. Through the support of family and friends it really helped me.
I think this was an excellent presentation of the book of Job, a book that gave me the chills as a child like a horror story. Now I can truly appreciate its hidden revelations and wisdom. Job is awesome. It represents the ultimate test of our faith and forces our heart to examine whether it loves God enough to say and mean: “Though He slay me, yet will I put my trust in Him!”. For some it may take a lifetime to get to this point. Honestly, only the Holy Spirit could possibly get us out of our fleshly interests and fully embrace any and everything God decides to dish us. Only Jesus can inspire us to take a bitter cup like that of Job and conclude: “Nevertheless not my will, but Yours be done!”.
Thank you brother this is exactly what I was looking for. I have been struggling and I know deep down it is all a test I have lost many things but I have much to be grateful for!!! Praise the Lord!!!
I like the new video setup. This overview is an excellent supplement to the Bible Challenge. Some people are visual learners. Anytime there are slides that break down a large and detailed topic, it helps the mind organize and comprehend it. After years of hearing repeatedly, "Job suffered, but God restored him in the end", I finally feel like I have better understanding of Job. I hope you'll do more of these overviews throughout the year, in conjunction with the daily readings.
This was great. I’m following along in the chronological reading. It would be awesome if you did this after every book in the 1 year reading plan. These videos would be perfect to watch right after reading
This book is another example of God's Grace. For many years I felt entitled because of my Christian walk but I eventually realized how imperfect of a sinner I am. Bottom line is that God loves us more than we truly understand and that He will bless us in due time. Beautiful message Allen - keep them coming!!!
Job is a hard book to read because as I'm reading through each chapter, I want to scream at Job's "friends" "cut the guy some slack, He's clearly hurting." They were so ruthless, but then I ask myself, "Am I guilty of this type of subtle insensitivity toward people?" #Convicted Great Job Brother Allen in your overview.
"Our true friends are revealed in our darkest moments." You got that right. I really enjoyed this overview. Very encouraging. I'm also really loving the production value.
I have binge watched your channel after discovering it this week! Your voice is so needed! My husband and I have been watching and learning so much! Sending many prayers your way!
Thank you for putting this together. My youngest son was having seizures the exact time my mother was in hospice and passing away. My sons seizures have been getting worse, and I often times cry out to God to please help and heal my baby boy, but I often feel like God does not hear my prayer. I remind myself of the father who asked Jesus to heal His boy when he said “I believe, but help my unbelief”. Gods timing and our timing do not align, and I continue to pray that my son will be healed and we can use this experience as a testimony.
I’m in my own book of Job right now in my life, but I trust God to provide and His ways, He is God and knows all things! But I do believe He has revealed to me my storms are to make me become like Job, loyal and righteous
I just started reading the book of Job. I'm about ten chapters in. I just recommitted my life to Christ two months ago. I walked way from the faith for ten years. Definitely some of the darkest hours of my life. Glad to be back. This is one of the books I needed. I just wanted to see what my brother had to say. I'm thankful for the teachings in God's word.
You are teaching that God goes around testing people by allowing sickness to disasters. We have learned a lot since the old preachers and bible school teachings of Job. Job was not tested by God. Do you really understand the rights of the devil in this world; that God had to legally allow the Devil TO ATTACK . Jobs fear (JOBS FEAR OR negative BELIEVEING). Now today It is a lot harder for the devil to bring this kind of destruction because of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. [Job 9:33 KJV] 33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both. Job figured out his broken hedged that allow Satan in. The answer is in Chapter 3. I just dropped this in a few replies to Allien
I recently lost my little cousin in a tragic car accident and I’m trying to understand why God allowed it to happen, my grandmother told me about Job’s story so, I’ve been listening to them and I’ve found some comfort because I thought this happened because our family did something wrong and God is either pushing everyone or teaching everyone a lesson.
Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling with a very painful digestive disorder for decades and sometimes I feel I cannot find God. This is very helpful
I've really been struggling w/this topic for the past 6 months & feel like God was speaking directly to me in your video...Your Greatly Appreciated Thank U
The first Bible study I ever did was from a Allen Parr video, he has a gift of teaching the Bible, now that I’ve been studying the Bible for over a year and have heard lots of teachers, he’s by far one of the best out there.
Allen, you are a remarkably gifted man of God. I thank you for choosing this ministry to teach God's Word. It is an absolute blessing to have you on this platform. To God be the glory. 🙌
Thank you for this study on Job. It's very timely for me as I'm in one these moments that Job found himself in. I'm a leader at my local church and since July been dealing with illness that the Dr's can't understand. Thank you for your ministry and desire for the Church to not be ignorant of the Word of God.
I remember first reading the book of Job, frustrated by not understanding any of it. Then I read it while I was in a period of really horrible depression and it just made so much sense to me, and I got it and it helped me tremendously to overcome the depression but also now I have a very different mindset when I'm in pain whether physically or emotionally. Really great book and awesome analysis, thanks for this Allen!
Wow! I’ve taught Sunday School for many years and have never heard such a clear and concise, yet thorough, presentation on Job. So glad I found your channel Allen.
Honestly one of the most amazing teachings of the Book of Job! I couldn't shout in my car, but young man when I parked at home -- hheeeeyyyy! Amen to the Word! I'm old school so imma say Boy you know you preached today!. Bless you. Ms. Tina
Wow, this video analysis of Job is fantastic. I've been going strong with that chronological reading plan and I'm at the end of Job now. This video dropped at the perfect time!
Thank you for this video. Really inspired and strengthened me to trust God and welcome challenges, failures, struggles and pain as opportunities to grow stronger in all areas in life. And to not question God's plan for me in life.
Praise GOD and thank you brother. I have read the book of Job many times over and I was reading it again and this really brought it home 🙏. May GOD keep blessing you 🫂✝️
For a breakthrough understanding of the Book of Job, read “Where Do We Go Now, LORD? - Burke.” Moses was open to higher ground. Be like Moses! Enjoy the breakthrough!
Thank you so much for the wisdom that you have delivered in this video Allen. I feel restored and renewed and I have accepted that I am underserving of any blessing and God does not need to explain Himself to me.
Amen!! So encouraging this really caused me to look within myself. I want to be able to live this type of faith out in my life. Gods will is a good will and it’s for our good no matter how it may seem to us!!
Totally awesome, Allen. I pray more young people come to follow your ministry as they need good Biblical discourse now more than ever. God bless you and your ministry!
This was an incredible video. I’m going through a 52 week Bible plan with my daughter that’s divided into seven sections for each day of the week (Epistles, The Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, and Gospels) and for the Poetry section we have been reading Job. This overview was extremely helpful to get the main ideas and themes across. Really love your channel and I’ve seen countless videos of yours and I appreciate what your channel does. Thank you and God bless!
@@Joygiverr they are just different sections of the Bible. The Bible is broken up into sections. The first part is “the Law,” or Books of Mose. The first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) The second part is the history books that details Israel’s history. It starts with Joshua and goes through the Judges, the United Kingdom era, the divided kingdom (Israel and Judah), the captivity, and return/rebuilding of Israel. The poetry section is the Wisdom literature from Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and so on up to Song of Solomon. The next section is the Prophets (5 major books and the 12 minor prophets). Then the Old Testament ends and the New Testament starts. First part of the New Testament is the four Gospel accounts, then the book of Acts. After Acts you have the Epistles, or letters, written to the Church. You have all the letters written by Paul, John, Peter, James and Jude. Lastly the New Testament ends with Revelation, the major prophecy book for the New Testament.
Hola Allen, this is your brother in Christ Jonathan Mendez from San Quintin Baja California Mexico, my family and I have been blessed by many of your videos in your channel. THANK YOU very much for putting this video together, as I prepare to teach the book of JOB at our Wednesday nights services at our local church this video was very helpful to me. "Dios te bendiga hermano" 🫶
Just finished reading Job, this was really helpful to complete my Bible study on it & to make sure that I well understood. Thank you for bringing such clarity! 🙌🏾
Thank you for sharing Job. A man at the church I used to attend in another state used to call me "Jobet," because every time I turned around something else was going wrong.:) It has gotten better but things are still going sideways.
The reading plan I’m doing had me start with Genesis 1-11 then switch to all of Job because most historians believe he came after Noah, but also before Abraham. So it’ll have me go back to Genesis for chapters 12-50 right after Job. :)
God bless you man of God. Feel like this preaching was for me. Sometimes I feel like God has rejected me, but I’m still walking in faith and hope. Hoping God will visit me and deliver me🙏🏽
Truly a blessing my brother. I always shunned away from reading Job in its entirety, you given me the encouragement to finally study this book. God bless you and your family. From ghe Caribbean.
Love this session. God bless you, pastor!! I don’t if It is only me, but I have been feeling down, like I want to go home, to God. I’ve been praying endlessly for Jesus to return. If only he comes will our pain go away. He can wipe all of our tears.
Excellent excellent excellent video. I have read the book of Job and examined verses time and time again, and this video still managed to reveal things i hadn’t seen before. Thank you.
I'm currently doing the one-year Bible challenge and so it was great to see this video having just wrapped up Job. Appreciate all you do in getting the Lord's message out there and all the work you put into creating these videos!! The only thing I was left wondering about this book is what happened to Elihu? Why did God only ask Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar to bring an offering forth?
In the Old testament books, job is my favorite. We've all been there at one point in our lives and question God. But even though job was going through this. God was in control at all times.
Thank you Allen! Job is one of my favorite books for study and teaching. The Book of Job has helped me in my successful battle against cancer for the last 4½ years. I'm always learning from your teachings. Many blessings upon your misson.
I am going though the chronological bible. I am coming up to the book of job and was dreading reading it. Thank you for your overview. It touched my heart and made me cry as I remembered thing’s which had had happened in my life. Not as bad as Job obviously. Thankyou once again.
I feel blessed having a brother like you who gives of his time and energy to explain these books of the bible. I look forward to many more such overviews and continue to pray that the Lord will bless you along the way🙏
Thank you for sharing an over view on the book of Job. For me it revealed the Grace of God. I belong to a reformed church and never understood what reformed theology is but I’m slowly beginning to see its all about the Gospel and Gods Grace. No matter our trials and tribulations he’s there for us no matter what. The Old Testament is full of Gods Grace I’m slowly learning and loving the word of God. I believe God put me into this church to teach me about Gods Grace hallelujah.
My brother you are such an excellent teacher of the word! I pray that God continues to use you to help others in their walk with God. That breakdown was so simple but yet, so effective. Thank you! God bless you tremendously my friend. And yes, I love this new setup!
Thank you for sharing this. I just finished reading through the book of Job and this overview has been helpful in thinking through the lessons I can learn from the book. God bless your ministry
Certainly, here's a revised version of your message: --- Thank you for shedding light on this. I've recently begun exploring the Bible with Fr Mike, and I must say, the Book of Job does stir a bit of confusion about the reasons behind our struggles. Your point about not always knowing the 'WHY' behind everything really resonated with me. It seems to simplify life in a way, allowing us to focus more on living through our experiences rather than getting bogged down by the need for explanations.
This presentation style is fresh. The synopsis and highlights on the book were great because reading the book has its challenges. I liked "the ministry of presence" teaching. I did not know his wife said he had bad breath...😅thats rough lol. One thing that I interpreted from the Book of Job is that Job due to his suffering had a greater relationship, love and appreciation for God at the end of the book. No matter how "blameless" and how much "integrity" we walk in God/Christ, the relationship and love can always get deeper for every individual (myself included). It's just a thought, people can take it or leave it. At the end God also told Job's three "friends" to ask Job to make a sacrifice on their behalf because of their sin (paraphrased)... Job 42:8-9 for the direct words. Great perspective that we as readers were privileged to see what was going on behind the scenes with God. You are right Job had no clue about the conversation between God and Satan. For fun, what if God did not restore Job at the end? Does God owe Job? Is God still worthy? (its hypothetical, personal reflection exercise and for fun, no need to turn this question all crazy with criticisms). Whoever reads, no replies needed, answer in the privacy of your hearts. Thank you so much this is well done! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

This was great. I’m following along in the chronological reading. It would be awesome if you did this after every book in the 1 year reading plan. These videos would be perfect to watch right after reading
This book is another example of God's Grace. For many years I felt entitled because of my Christian walk but I eventually realized how imperfect of a sinner I am. Bottom line is that God loves us more than we truly understand and that He will bless us in due time. Beautiful message Allen - keep them coming!!!
Job is a hard book to read because as I'm reading through each chapter, I want to scream at Job's "friends" "cut the guy some slack, He's clearly hurting." They were so ruthless, but then I ask myself, "Am I guilty of this type of subtle insensitivity toward people?" #Convicted
Great Job Brother Allen in your overview.
"Our true friends are revealed in our darkest moments." You got that right. I really enjoyed this overview. Very encouraging. I'm also really loving the production value.
Remember you make the difference ‼️
I have binge watched your channel after discovering it this week! Your voice is so needed! My husband and I have been watching and learning so much! Sending many prayers your way!
Praise God! So thankful for you. Glad you discovered the channel!
Thank you for putting this together. My youngest son was having seizures the exact time my mother was in hospice and passing away. My sons seizures have been getting worse, and I often times cry out to God to please help and heal my baby boy, but I often feel like God does not hear my prayer. I remind myself of the father who asked Jesus to heal
His boy when he said “I believe, but help my unbelief”. Gods timing and our timing do not align, and I continue to pray that my son will be healed and we can use this experience as a testimony.
Amen to that! What a great encouragement to those who are suffering like me. All glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ! ❤️
I’m in my own book of Job right now in my life, but I trust God to provide and His ways, He is God and knows all things! But I do believe He has revealed to me my storms are to make me become like Job, loyal and righteous
Love what you're doing Allen Parr! The emergence of a biblically sound ChristianTube is so important!
I just started reading the book of Job. I'm about ten chapters in. I just recommitted my life to Christ two months ago. I walked way from the faith for ten years. Definitely some of the darkest hours of my life. Glad to be back. This is one of the books I needed. I just wanted to see what my brother had to say. I'm thankful for the teachings in God's word.
I like where you said that the replacement of 10 children does not mean that the feeling of the lost ones go away
Thank you for the breakdown Allen, extremely helpful in understanding the what is a difficult book to read
You are teaching that God goes around testing people by allowing sickness to disasters. We have learned a lot since the old preachers and bible school teachings of Job. Job was not tested by God. Do you really understand the rights of the devil in this world; that God had to legally allow the Devil TO ATTACK . Jobs fear (JOBS FEAR OR negative BELIEVEING).
Now today It is a lot harder for the devil to bring this kind of destruction because of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
[Job 9:33 KJV] 33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both.
Job figured out his broken hedged that allow Satan in. The answer is in Chapter 3.
I just dropped this in a few replies to Allien
So true whenever you can’t see God’s hand we have to trust he’s there
I recently lost my little cousin in a tragic car accident and I’m trying to understand why God allowed it to happen, my grandmother told me about Job’s story so, I’ve been listening to them and I’ve found some comfort because I thought this happened because our family did something wrong and God is either pushing everyone or teaching everyone a lesson.
Romans 8:37 🛡
“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
We have to have faith no matter what is going on us. Help us God into it. Amen
GOD IS GREAT!
Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling with a very painful digestive disorder for decades and sometimes I feel I cannot find God. This is very helpful
I've really been struggling w/this topic for the past 6 months & feel like God was speaking directly to me in your video...Your Greatly Appreciated Thank U
Hope is what kept him moving forward.
The first Bible study I ever did was from a Allen Parr video, he has a gift of teaching the Bible, now that I’ve been studying the Bible for over a year and have heard lots of teachers, he’s by far one of the best out there.
Allen, you are a remarkably gifted man of God. I thank you for choosing this ministry to teach God's Word. It is an absolute blessing to have you on this platform. To God be the glory. 🙌
Thank you for this study on Job. It's very timely for me as I'm in one these moments that Job found himself in. I'm a leader at my local church and since July been dealing with illness that the Dr's can't understand. Thank you for your ministry and desire for the Church to not be ignorant of the Word of God.
May GOD strengthen you!
@@relodinge Thank you🙏❤
I remember first reading the book of Job, frustrated by not understanding any of it. Then I read it while I was in a period of really horrible depression and it just made so much sense to me, and I got it and it helped me tremendously to overcome the depression but also now I have a very different mindset when I'm in pain whether physically or emotionally. Really great book and awesome analysis, thanks for this Allen!
Wow! I’ve taught Sunday School for many years and have never heard such a clear and concise, yet thorough, presentation on Job. So glad I found your channel Allen.
Honestly one of the most amazing teachings of the Book of Job! I couldn't shout in my car, but young man when I parked at home -- hheeeeyyyy! Amen to the Word! I'm old school so imma say Boy you know you preached today!. Bless you. Ms. Tina
Powerful message Allen! You are a true man of God. You remind me of my Pastor Tony Evans. A rare man of faith who preaches the truth and word of God.
Wow, this video analysis of Job is fantastic. I've been going strong with that chronological reading plan and I'm at the end of Job now. This video dropped at the perfect time!
Hey what Chronology? Do you have a link please .
Daniel, Noah, and Job. Three of some of the greatest men that have ever lived.
Thank you for this video. Really inspired and strengthened me to trust God and welcome challenges, failures, struggles and pain as opportunities to grow stronger in all areas in life. And to not question God's plan for me in life.
Perfect timing I've been doing the daily bible chronological with you and I needed more in depth study
Praise GOD and thank you brother. I have read the book of Job many times over and I was reading it again and this really brought it home 🙏. May GOD keep blessing you 🫂✝️
For a breakthrough understanding of the Book of Job, read “Where Do We Go Now, LORD? - Burke.” Moses was open to higher ground. Be like Moses! Enjoy the breakthrough!
Thank you so much for the wisdom that you have delivered in this video Allen. I feel restored and renewed and I have accepted that I am underserving of any blessing and God does not need to explain Himself to me.
Amen!! So encouraging this really caused me to look within myself. I want to be able to live this type of faith out in my life. Gods will is a good will and it’s for our good no matter how it may seem to us!!
Thank you for this. This is my favorite book in the Old Testament bc of these reasons.
Bones and hearts will still break in this world.
Isaiah 55:8
Totally awesome, Allen. I pray more young people come to follow your ministry as they need good Biblical discourse now more than ever. God bless you and your ministry!
Thank you Allen,is an Amen.
This was an incredible video. I’m going through a 52 week Bible plan with my daughter that’s divided into seven sections for each day of the week (Epistles, The Law, History, Psalms, Poetry, Prophecy, and Gospels) and for the Poetry section we have been reading Job. This overview was extremely helpful to get the main ideas and themes across.
Really love your channel and I’ve seen countless videos of yours and I appreciate what your channel does. Thank you and God bless!
Pls what is the epistle, law, history and prophecy about
@@Joygiverr they are just different sections of the Bible. The Bible is broken up into sections.
The first part is “the Law,” or Books of Mose. The first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy)
The second part is the history books that details Israel’s history. It starts with Joshua and goes through the Judges, the United Kingdom era, the divided kingdom (Israel and Judah), the captivity, and return/rebuilding of Israel.
The poetry section is the Wisdom literature from Job, Psalms, Proverbs, and so on up to Song of Solomon.
The next section is the Prophets (5 major books and the 12 minor prophets).
Then the Old Testament ends and the New Testament starts.
First part of the New Testament is the four Gospel accounts, then the book of Acts.
After Acts you have the Epistles, or letters, written to the Church. You have all the letters written by Paul, John, Peter, James and Jude.
Lastly the New Testament ends with Revelation, the major prophecy book for the New Testament.
The book of Job is my absolute favorite! The ending chapters where God is showing how great and mighty he is is always so humbling to me.
A wonderful synopsis of Job it relates to today’s world. keep the reviews coming they are great 👍
This book has truly given me Encouragement be blessed Brother Allen.
Sometimes as humans we want to reason everything and thats where we go wrong. Love this message
Hola Allen, this is your brother in Christ Jonathan Mendez from San Quintin Baja California Mexico, my family and I have been blessed by many of your videos in your channel. THANK YOU very much for putting this video together, as I prepare to teach the book of JOB at our Wednesday nights services at our local church this video was very helpful to me. "Dios te bendiga hermano" 🫶
Just finished reading Job, this was really helpful to complete my Bible study on it & to make sure that I well understood. Thank you for bringing such clarity! 🙌🏾
He's in a new setting! I love it because it looks like I'm in a clean and pristine classroom setting. Well done!
I love the book reviews. 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this amazing resource!!
Thank you for sharing Job. A man at the church I used to attend in another state used to call me "Jobet," because every time I turned around something else was going wrong.:) It has gotten better but things are still going sideways.
Absolutely brilliant, Pastor Parr🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽such an encouraging word 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽thank you for your ministry 🙏🏽
This whole month my church has been going through Job, this was perfect timing lol
I’m reading the Bible in chronological order this year, and I just got through chapter 37 of Job. This is such perfect timing, Thank you!
I am too
Wow from Genesis You are already in Job?? 🙀
The reading plan I’m doing had me start with Genesis 1-11 then switch to all of Job because most historians believe he came after Noah, but also before Abraham. So it’ll have me go back to Genesis for chapters 12-50 right after Job. :)
@@Lahendri24 Really?
Ohh! Ok 😄
God bless you man of God. Feel like this preaching was for me. Sometimes I feel like God has rejected me, but I’m still walking in faith and hope. Hoping God will visit me and deliver me🙏🏽
Thank you for your commitment to the Christian community. This was great!!!! Ty!!
Truly a blessing my brother. I always shunned away from reading Job in its entirety, you given me the encouragement to finally study this book. God bless you and your family. From ghe Caribbean.
Love this session. God bless you, pastor!! I don’t if It is only me, but I have been feeling down, like I want to go home, to God. I’ve been praying endlessly for Jesus to return. If only he comes will our pain go away. He can wipe all of our tears.
Excellent excellent excellent video. I have read the book of Job and examined verses time and time again, and this video still managed to reveal things i hadn’t seen before. Thank you.
Thank you for blessing our hearts this morning with the preaching of the word of God.
Thank you allen people like you is what i need.
I know put your faith in christ, always.
But sometimes you need physical help aswell.
Thank you allen
I'm currently doing the one-year Bible challenge and so it was great to see this video having just wrapped up Job. Appreciate all you do in getting the Lord's message out there and all the work you put into creating these videos!! The only thing I was left wondering about this book is what happened to Elihu? Why did God only ask Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar to bring an offering forth?
You ẳre a great têảcher in the Word ò God..
In the Old testament books, job is my favorite. We've all been there at one point in our lives and question God. But even though job was going through this. God was in control at all times.
This is so wonderful. I have recommended it to my friend who has cancer. Bless you Pastor Allen
Thank you very much for this video Allen. We praise God for His Word
Thank you so much for the good explanation about job’s book. I pray that God continue to use you and lift you up to the highest good.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Allen!
Job is one of my favorite books for study and teaching. The Book of Job has helped me in my successful battle against cancer for the last 4½ years.
I'm always learning from your teachings.
Many blessings upon your misson.
Love this new online classroom vibe
Brother. I was SO BLESSED BY THIS. God bless you, Allen.
Whoooah, I thoroughly enjoyed this Overview of Job. Great perspective
This was great! I had been reading Job and God’s timing of your message was perfect. Humbled and grateful for His mercy and grace. Blessings
I am going though the chronological bible. I am coming up to the book of job and was dreading reading it. Thank you for your overview. It touched my heart and made me cry as I remembered thing’s which had had happened in my life. Not as bad as Job obviously. Thankyou once again.
Thank you Jesus for Brother parr thank you. You going to have so many jewels on your crown
I have been enjoying the Bible study!!! Doing it with my church and signed up with Allen! I can't lie . I cried! Jobs friends were off the charts 😭😡
I feel blessed having a brother like you who gives of his time and energy to explain these books of the bible. I look forward to many more such overviews and continue to pray that the Lord will bless you along the way🙏
Thank you for sharing an over view on the book of Job. For me it revealed the Grace of God. I belong to a reformed church and never understood what reformed theology is but I’m slowly beginning to see its all about the Gospel and Gods Grace. No matter our trials and tribulations he’s there for us no matter what. The Old Testament is full of Gods Grace I’m slowly learning and loving the word of God. I believe God put me into this church to teach me about Gods Grace hallelujah.
My brother you are such an excellent teacher of the word! I pray that God continues to use you to help others in their walk with God. That breakdown was so simple but yet, so effective. Thank you! God bless you tremendously my friend. And yes, I love this new setup!
Thank you for sharing this. I just finished reading through the book of Job and this overview has been helpful in thinking through the lessons I can learn from the book.
God bless your ministry
This is real treasure ; the over view of the book of Job. How do I thank you enough Rev. Parr. Just sooo good.
Thank you so much brother for this awesome overview on the book of Job. Opened my eyes to understand many truths in this Book. God bless you.
Certainly, here's a revised version of your message:
---
Thank you for shedding light on this. I've recently begun exploring the Bible with Fr Mike, and I must say, the Book of Job does stir a bit of confusion about the reasons behind our struggles. Your point about not always knowing the 'WHY' behind everything really resonated with me. It seems to simplify life in a way, allowing us to focus more on living through our experiences rather than getting bogged down by the need for explanations.
Thank you!! I was reading Job and having trouble understanding the back and forth with his friends!! This helped me!
This presentation style is fresh. The synopsis and highlights on the book were great because reading the book has its challenges.
I liked "the ministry of presence" teaching.
I did not know his wife said he had bad breath...😅thats rough lol.
One thing that I interpreted from the Book of Job is that Job due to his suffering had a greater relationship, love and appreciation for God at the end of the book. No matter how "blameless" and how much "integrity" we walk in God/Christ, the relationship and love can always get deeper for every individual (myself included). It's just a thought, people can take it or leave it.
At the end God also told Job's three "friends" to ask Job to make a sacrifice on their behalf because of their sin (paraphrased)... Job 42:8-9 for the direct words.
Great perspective that we as readers were privileged to see what was going on behind the scenes with God. You are right Job had no clue about the conversation between God and Satan.
For fun, what if God did not restore Job at the end? Does God owe Job? Is God still worthy? (its hypothetical, personal reflection exercise and for fun, no need to turn this question all crazy with criticisms). Whoever reads, no replies needed, answer in the privacy of your hearts.
Thank you so much this is well done! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
I really enjoy and learn a lot from your overviews of books of the Bible. I hope you do more. Thank you!
This format is excellent Allan please for more of these type of videos
