Many

Job 5:24-27 – You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing. You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth. You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season. “We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself.”

Psalm 112:2 – Their children will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Isaiah 44:3 – For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

Application:

  • ·         The godly bring blessing to their children and to themselves—not least in the fact that through their children they are “remembered” in the community.
  • ·         “Pour out my Spirit” is associated with the Messianic age.
  • ·         Eliphaz’s purpose is to offer theological comfort and counsel to Job, but instead he wounds him with false accusation.
