4. The Book of Job
Our Goal
We try to understand as much as possible, not only why we live in a world of evil, but more important, how we are to live in such a world.
Ang Ating Mithiin. Sisikapin natin na maunawaan hanggat maaari, hindi lang kung bakit tayo’y nabubuhay sa isang masamang daigdig, kundi mas mahalaga, kung paano tayo mamumuhay sa ganitong daigdig.

6. The Wrath of Elihu The Book of Job Lesson 10, December 3
Ang Galit ni Elihu

7. The Wrath of Elihu
Key Text
Isaiah 55:9 NKJV
“ ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than yours, and My thoughts that your thoughts.’ ”
Susing Talata. “ ‘Sapagkat kung paanong ang langit ay higit na mataas kaysa lupa, gayon ang aking mga pamamaraan ay higit na mataas kaysa inyong mga pamamaraan, at ang aking mga pag-iisip kaysa inyong pag-iisip’ ” (Isaias 55:9).

8. The Wrath of Elihu
Initial Words
The battle of words goes on between Job and these three men, words that at times are profound, beautiful, deep, and true. They just didn’t say them in the right place, at the right time, in the right circumstances.
The problem was going to get worse because, instead of just three people telling him he’s wrong, a new one comes on the scene.
Panimulang Salita. Ang labanan ng mga salita ay nagpapatuloy sa pagitan ni Job at ang tatlong lalaking ito, mga salita na kung minsan ay matindi, maganda, malalim, at totoo. Hindi lang nga sinasabi ito sa tamang lugar, sa tamang panahon, sa tamang mga sitwasyon. ¶ Ang problema ay titindi dahil sa halip na tatlong tao lang ang nagsasabing mali siya, isang bagong tao ang pumasok sa eksena.

10. The Wrath of Elihu
1. Miserable Comforters
Job 32:1-3 NKJV
“So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. Then the wrath of Elihu... was aroused against Job...because he justified himself rather than against God. Also against his three
friends...because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.”
1. Mga Di-sapat na Mang-aaliw. “Kaya’t ang tatlong lalaking ito ay huminto na sa pagsagot kay Job, sapagkat siya’y matuwid sa kanyang sariling paningin. Nang magkagayo’y nagalit si Elihu...kay Job sapagkat binigyang-katuwiran niya ang sarili sa halip na ang Diyos. Galit din siya sa tatlong kaibigan ni Job, ¶ sapagkat sila’y hindi nakatagpo ng sagot, bagaman ipinahayag nilang mali si Job” (Job 32:1-3).

11. None of them, including Job,
1. Miserable Comforters
The Entrance of Elihu
None of them, including Job,
understood all that was going on. They were speaking from a very limited perspective, which all humans have.
We need humility when we profess to talk about God and His workings.
We might know a lot of truth, but we might not necessarily know the best way to apply the truths that we know.
Ang Pagpasok ni Elihu. Wala sa kanila, kabilang si Job, ang naunawaan ang lahat nang nangyayari. Nagsasalita sila mula sa napakalimitadong pananaw, na meron ang lahat ng tao. ¶ Kelangan natin ang kababaang-loob kapag maghahayag tayong magsasalita tungkol sa Diyos at sa Kanyang mga pagpapalakad. ¶ Maaaring marami tayong alam na katotohanan, subalit walang katiyakang alam natin ang pinakamabuting paraan para gamitin ang mga katotohanang nalalaman natin.

12. For the next six chapters, Elihu
1. Miserable Comforters
The Entrance of Elihu
Elihu obviously heard some of the long discussions. Four times his “wrath” had been kindled over what he had heard.
For the next six chapters, Elihu
seeks to give his understanding and explanation of the issues that all these men confronted because of
the calamity that struck Job.
May katiyakang narinig ni Elihu ang ilan sa mahahabang usapan. Apat na beses ang kanyang “galit” ay nag-alab sa kanyang narilig. ¶ Sa susunod na anim na kapitulo, sinikap ni Elihu na ibigay ang nauunawaan at paliwanag niya tungkol sa mga isyu na hinarap ng lahat ng mga lalaking ito dahil sa kalamidad na tumama kay Job.

13. 1. Miserable Comforters
Elihu’s Defense of God
Elihu seems largely to be giving the same arguments that the three had in their attempt to defend the character of God against the charge of unfair-ness in regard to the sufferings of Job.
We can see with Elihu, the fear that God is not what they think Him to be. They want to believe in the goodness and the justice and the power of God;
Ang Pagtatanggol ni Elihu sa Diyos. Kalakhang tila nagbibigay si Elihu ng katulad na pangangatwiran na meron ang tatlo sa pagtatangka nilang ipagtanggol ang karakter ng Diyos laban sa bintang ng kawalang-katarungan tungkol sa mga pagdurusa ni Job. ¶ Makikita natin kay Elihu, ang takot na ang Diyos ay hindi yung iniisip nila tungkol sa Kanya. Gusto nilang maniwala sa kabutihan at katarungan at kapangyarihan ng Diyos;

14. 1. Miserable Comforters
Elihu’s Defense of God
and so, what does Elihu do but utter truths about the goodness, the justice, and the power of God?
Then the only logical conclusion is that Job is getting what he deserves. What else could it be? Elihu, then, was trying to protect his own understanding of God in the face of such terrible evil befalling such a good man as Job.
at kaya, anong ginagawa ni Elihu kundi bigkasin ang mga katotohanan tungkol sa kabutihan, katarungan, at kapangyarihan ng Diyos? ¶ Kaya ang lohikal lang na hatol ay si Job ay tinatanggap ang nararapat sa kanya. Ano pa nga ba? Si Elihu, kung gayon, ay nagtatangkang ingatan ang sarili niyang pagkaunawa sa Diyos sa harapan ng ganung katinding sama na nangyari sa isang mabuting tao gaya ni Job.

15. Therefore...I destroyed you, O covering cherub....’ ”
The Wrath of Elihu
2. Irrationality of Evil
Ezekiel 28:15, 16 NKJV
“ ‘You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. By the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within, and you sinned.
Therefore...I destroyed you, O covering cherub....’ ”
2. Pagkadi-makatwiran ng Kasamaan. “ ‘Ikaw ay sakdal sa iyong mga landas mula sa araw na ikaw ay lalangin, hanggang sa ang kasamaan ay matagpuan sa iyo. Dahil sa karamihan ng iyong kalakal ay napuno ka ng karahasan, at ikaw ay nagkasala; ¶ kaya’t...winasak kita, O tumatakip na kerubin...’ ” (Ezekiel 28:15, 16).

16. 2. Irrationality of Evil
A Dilemma
“It is impossible to explain the origin of sin so as to give a reason for its existence.... Sin is an intruder, for whose presence no reason can be given.
It is mysterious, unaccountable; to excuse it is to defend it. Could excuse for it be found, or cause be shown for its existence, it would cease to be sin.”—The Great Controversy 492, 493.
Isang Problema. “Imposibleng ipaliwanag ang pasimula ng kasalanan para pangatwiranan ang pag-iral nito.... Mapanghimasok ang kasalanan, na ang kanyang presensya ay walang maibibigay na dahilan. ¶ Misteryoso at hindi nananagot ito; ang ipagpaumanhin ito ay pagtatanggol nito. Kung makakasumpong ng paumanhin para sa pag-iral nito, titigil itong maging kasalanan.”—The Great Controversy 492, 493.

17. There is a good reason that Job and
2. Irrationality of Evil
A Dilemma
There is a good reason that Job and
his friends can’t make sense of it:
evil itself doesn’t make sense.
If we could understand it, if it made sense, if it fit into some logical and rational plan, then it wouldn’t be that evil, it wouldn’t be that tragic, because it would serve a rational purpose.
May mabuting dahilan na si Job at ang kanyang mga kaibigan ay hindi maunawaan ito: ang kasamaan mismo ay hindi makatuwiran. ¶ Kung mauunawaan natin ito, kung makatuwiran ito, kung babagay ito sa lohikal at makatwirang panukala, kung gayon hindi ito magiging ganyang kasama, ganyang kalunus-lunos, dahil ito’y magsisilbi sa isang makatwirang layunin.

18. 2. Irrationality of Evil
A Dilemma
Here’s a perfect being, created by a perfect God, in a perfect environment. He’s exalted, full of wisdom, perfect in beauty, covered in precious stones, an “anointed cherub” who was in the “holy mountain of God.”
Yet, even with all that and having been given so much, this being corrupted himself and allowed evil to take over.
Narito ang isang sakdal na nilalang, nilikha ng isang sakdal na Diyos, puspos ng karunungan, sakdal sa kagandahan, sinuotan ng mga mamahaling bato, isang “pinahirang kerubin” na nasa “banal na bundok ng Diyos.” ¶ Gayunman, kahit meron ng lahat nito at nabigyan ng talagang marami, pinasama ng nilalang na ito ang sarili at pinahintulutan ang kasaman na magsimulang mamahala.

19. The Wrath of Elihu
3. Challenge of Faith
1 Corinthians 13:12, 13 NKJV
“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith....”
3. Hamon ng Pananampalataya. “Sapagkat ngayo’y malabo nating nakikita sa isang salamin, ngunit pagkatapos nito ay makikita natin nang mukhaan. Ngayo’y bahagi lamang ang nalalaman ko, ngunit pagkatapos ay lubos kong mauunawaan kung paanong ako ay lubos na nakikilala. ¶ At ngayon ay nananatili...ang pananampalataya...” (1 Corinto 13:12, 13).

20. to him? How do we understand this?
3. Challenge of Faith
To Trust God
As we saw, far from his evil bringing this suffering to him, it was precisely Job’s goodness that caused God to point him out to the devil.
So, the man’s goodness and desire to be faithful to God led this to happen
to him? How do we understand this?
Para Magtiwala sa Diyos. Gaya nang nakita natin, ibang-iba sa kanyang kasamaang nagdadala nitong pagdurusa sa kanya, malinaw na ang kabutihan ni Job ang nagtulak sa Diyos na tukuyin siya sa diyablo. ¶ Kaya, ang kabutihan at kagustuhan ng lalaking ito na maging tapat sa Diyos ang nagdala para mangyari sa kanya ito? Paano natin mauunawaan ito?

21. 3. Challenge of Faith
To Trust God
Job didn’t volunteer to be the guinea pig. Who would? So, how fair was all this to Job and to his family.
Meanwhile, even though God won His challenge with the devil, we know the devil has not conceded defeat (Rev. 12:12); so, what was the purpose?
Hindi nagprisinta si Job na maging bahagi ng eksperimento. Sino ang papayag? Kaya, paanong makatarungan ang lahat nang ito kay Job at sa kanyang pamilya. ¶ Samantala, bagaman nanalo ang Diyos sa Kanyang hamon sa diyablo, alam nating hindi tinanggap ng diyablo ang pagkatalo (Apocalipsis 12:12); kaya, para saan ito?

22. 3. Challenge of Faith
To Trust God
And also, whatever good ultimately came out of what happened to Job, was it worth the death of all these people and all the suffering that Job went through?
Kaya nga, anumang buti ang sa wakas ay lumitaw sa nangyari kay Job, nararapat ba sa kamatayan ng lahat ng mga taong ito at lahat ng pagdurusang dinanas ni Job?

23. We don’t live by faith when everything
3. Challenge of Faith
To Trust God
One of the most important lessons: that of living by faith and not by sight; that of trusting in God and staying faithful to Him even when we cannot explain why things happen as they do.
We don’t live by faith when everything
is fully explained; only when we trust and obey God, even when we cannot make sense of what is happening.
live by faith
not by sight
Isa sa mga mahahalagang liksyon: yung namumuhay sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya at hindi sa pamamagitan ng nakikita; yung nagtitiwala sa Diyos at nananatiling tapat sa Kanya kahit kapag hindi natin maipaliwanag kung bakit nangyayari nang ganito ang mga bagay. ¶ Hindi tayo namumuhay sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya kapag lahat ay lubos na naipaliwanag; kapag lang nagtitiwala at sumusunod tayo sa Diyos, kahit kapag hindi natin maunawaan ang nangyayari.

Final Words
Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing 100, 101.
“When we take into our hands the management of things with which we have to do, and depend upon our own wisdom for success, we are taking a burden which God has not given us....
But when we really believe that God... means to do us good we shall cease to worry about the future. ... Then our troubles and torments will disappear....”
Huling Pananalita. “Kapag kinuha natin ang pangangasiwa ng mga bagay na kelangan nating gawin, at umasa sa ating karunungan para sa tagumpay, kinukuha natin ang isang pasaning hindi ibinibigay sa atin ng Diyos.... ¶ Subalit kapag talagang naniniwala tayo na ang Diyos...ay hinahangad ang ikabubuti natin ay titigil tayong mabalisa tungkol sa hinaharap. ... Kung gayo’y maglalaho ang ating mga problema at paghihirap...”—Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing 100, 101.
