Job 19:25-27; I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin the worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. Out of the midst of the darkest despair, this cry of glorious victory. I know. You see, I dont know much at this point, I dont understand anything at this point, but I do know this: the foundation upon which I stand. My Redeemer liveth. Now remember that Job is one of the oldest books in the Bible. Job perhaps lived about the time of Abraham. At this point, they had not had the prophets to testify to the people of the coming Messiah, the Deliverer. Jobs revelation was very limited, but yet he knew that his Redeemer lived. He believed in the Messiah. And in the latter days, Hes going to stand upon the earth. And though the worms and all eat this body, yet Im going to see Him. Im going to see Him for myself. What a glorious hope. And this is the sustaining hope. Though I may not understand a lot of things, I know this: my Redeemer lives. Someday Hes going to come again and establish His kingdom upon earth and Im going to see Him. Peter said, Whom having not seen, yet you love and even though you do not see Him now, still we rejoice with a joy unspeakable and full of glory (I Peter 1:8). Im glad for the knowledge and the assurance that my Redeemer lives. Now, Job has the capacity of coming out with these bright things and then jumping right back down in the pit.
