The Foudation of Truth Come From The Original African Heritage Study Bible The Book Of JOB. Job is defined in Hebrew as one who endures great sorrow and suffering. as well as one who endures being despised by his friends in order that the name of God be established in the earth forever. Job is one of the most proverbial narratives in the Bible. The time and place of the experiences of Job are, for the most part, historically controversial. It is believed that Job lived during the time of Abraham, in the Patriarchal Period. No mention is made of the law of Moses. However, it is now believed that Job may have lived somewhere in the Fertile Crescent (Mesopotamia), the ancient geographical area of the Cushites, an African/Edenic people. It is evident that Job believed in one God, thus confirming the monotheistic tradition of belief in the God of Creation, or the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The progenitor Abraham was also from the city of Ur of the Chaldean Empire. Job is the epitome of patience, tolerance, and faith through suffering. He maintained his integrity throughout the critical reproaches brought against him by his so-called friends who thought he had transgressed the laws of God. His wife also asked him to curse God and die. The elect of God must always stand the test of time. In essence, this is an examination by God of ones soul, which is not always exposed when everything is going well. One must be ready to bear the burden of salvation and freedom under all circumstances in order to serve God. Large Families a Blessing and Wealth-Jobs wealth was obvious because of his large family. In African/Edenic societies large families have always been indicators of great wealth. This measurement of wealth was considered greater than material possessions (Neh. 7:8:63)-1:2 The children of Parosh, two thousand and hundred seventy and two. The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two. The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen. The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five. The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore. The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight. The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight. The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two. The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven. The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven. The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five. The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight. The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight. The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four. The children of Hariph, and hundred and twelve. The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore eight. The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight. The men of Bethazmaveth, forty and two. The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three. The men of Ramah and Gaba, six hundred twenty and one. The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two. The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three. The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two. The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty four. The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five. The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one. The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thrirty. The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three. The children of Immer, a thousand fifty two. The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven. The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen. The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four. The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight. The porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred thirty and eight. The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha, the children of Tabboath, The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon, The children Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai, The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, The children Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah, The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephishesim, The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah, The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. The children of Solomons servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida, The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children Amon. All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomons servants, were three hundred ninety and two. And these were they which went up also from Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not show their fathers house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel. The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two. And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name. And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters. Jobs Offering to God after Personal Disaster-The African/Edenic man historically gave offerings to God after communal and personal disasters. The purpose was to restore the balance between God and man. African/Edenic people believe when this balance is upset, they will experience misfortunes and sufferings. Making sacrifices and offerings is another way to restore this ontological balance. It is an act of making and renewing contact between God and man.-1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. Sabeans-The Sabeans descended from the line of Cush. It is possible that the people of Seba, the Sabeans, are to be identified with more than one place in the ancient world. Seba was an important trading center and has been identified both with Meroe in upper Egypt and Sheba in South Arabia.-1:15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Chaldeans-(Ezek. 23:14).-1:17 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. African/Edenic People Never Charged or Challenged God-In all that befell Job, he never sinned or charged God with wrongdoing. In African/Edenic Hebrew society and other African/Edenic societies, God is the highest order in the universe and commands ultimate respect. Job understood that he could not conceive the mind of God. The Ngombe tribe states He even defies human conception and description; He is simply the unexplainable. In African society, God is unquestionable and just in all His ways. The will of God governs all things in the universe. This will of God is exercised, however, in a just way, and African peoples consider Him to be just. No matter what befalls them, the Nuer believe that God is always right. He is the ultimate judge, and He executes judgment with justice and without partiality.-1:21-22 And said, Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Temanite, Shuhite, Naamathite-Eliphaz, the Temanite, was from the line of Ishmael.The Ishmaelites were from the line of Abraham and Hagar (Sarahs Egyptian handmaid). The Ishmaelites were of Shemetic and Hamitic origin. Originally all Hamites and Shemites (or Semites) were black. Abraham was a black Shemite and a descendant of Shem. Bildad, the Shuhite (Shuhah), was from the line of Abraham by Keturah. Again here is evidence of a Hamitic and Shemitic mixture. Abraham and Keturah were the progenitors of the Midianites, who were Cushites. Zophar, the Naamathite, was from Arabia. The people of ancient Arabia were of a black African/Edenic stock, from the line of Abraham and Hagar or Keturah. Hagar and Keturah were from the line of Ham. Ham means hot or sunburnt.-2:11 Now when Jobs three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. Companies of Sheba-The people of Sheba (Seba) were African/Edenic in origin. The people in Yemen, Arabia, particularly those of the coast opposite Seba (Sheba) were reputed Abyssinians (Ethiopians) from the earliest periods through the Moslem conquest.-6:19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. The Subjugation of African/Edenic People by the Euro-Gentiles- They that are yoinger, as mentioned by Job, parallels with the onslaught by Europeans and Arab slave traders who raped the continent of Africa of human and natural resourbes. There is no doubt that black Africas greatness had subsided by the time Europeans in any number began to visit Africa; the slave traders-Arab and European-had made sure of that by decimating and demoralizing great populations in their lust for black ivory. The European civilization was a young civilzation compared to ancient African/Edenic empires. Africa is the seat of the worlds oldest settled culture, that of ancient Egypt, whose Pharoahic civilization dated back many millenniums and was one of the greatest in the history of man.-30:1-30 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock. Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished? For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste. Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat. They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks. Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together. They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. Bcause he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. My bone are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest. By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. He hath cast me into the mire, and Iam become like dust and ashes. I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. I went mourning without the sun: Istood up, and I cried in the congregation. I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
