1383. Job Was Very Rich

Job Was Very Rich

"His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household" (Job_1:3).

Job, in his riches, was a type of the Lord Jesus.

All things, were made by the Lord Jesus Christ, and they were made for Him and are held together by Him. It is written; "The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine;" "and the cattle upon a thousand hills." "The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof."

Job as a type of Christ, in his riches, speaks preeminently of Christ before He became flesh. He speaks of the glory which Christ had with the Father before the world was.
