Yes! AMEN 👍
I thank you for your views. Keep them coming; and, let God be true, but every man a liar. He leads us into all truth. God Bless.
One must accept what God reveals to them. Revelation says "given the morning starre."
I am dealing with things I only halfway understands. I will keep studying this subject. Just thought I share my view on this. Thanks for all the work you have done.
Job 38:4 asks the rhetorical question of man, "Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?"...V.7 says that the morning stars and all the sonnes of God shouted for joy when the foundations were laid. These cannot be men, as verse four says man wasn't there. Therefore, the text speaks of Angels...who else?
Also, "morning stars" is plural, thus it cannot refer to Jesus. There is only one Jesus.
I would say that God is referencing the Messiah in Job 38. Per 1 Cor 3:11, Jesus is the foundation. The measure that is laid, is grace (through faith), per Eph 4:7. The corner stone is of course Jesus. Jesus is the morning star, and is given to those who overcome, and keep the work of God unto the end (Rev 2:26). When someone is given the spirit of Jesus, they are considered sons of God, through adoption (Gal 4:5). In Job 38, I do not see any reference to Angels existing before, or at creation, on day 1. I could be wrong on this, and am still studying this. Point is, Job did not understand the nature of who Christ is, before what he went through. In chapter 38, this is when God reveals who Jesus is to Job, as naturally, he is not able to figure this out by himself. God is not teaching Job about Angels existing during creation, but he is teaching him about who Christ is, that he is the sacrifice that has been ordained since creation. Once someone is given understanding of who Christ is, do they not shout for joy? My idea who the Angels are, is men who have given up the ghost, and been brought to heaven. David is likened to an Angel (1 Sam 29:9). Jesus says that in the resurrection, those who go to heaven are as Angels (Mat 22:30). The Angel that shows John around in Revelation, says that he is of his brothers the Prophets, one who keep the saying of the Bible (Rev 22:9).
