... You are disjoining verses 25 and 26 from each other? The prophet said:
"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:"
The obvious implication is that Job will see God his redeemer when he starts upon the earth at the latter day. Your construction seems a bit forced. Why would Job speak with a vague "he" without then defining who "he" refers to?
Here's an example (I will pick a name at random):
I know that my wife is alive, and two years from now she will arrive in this country, and with my very own eyes I shall see Eve!
Your argument essentially is that people speak this way, and that "wife" and "she" would mean someone other than Eve?
Job said that he would see God
in his flesh, prior to his death when
the worms destroy [his] body. Again, Job was talking about a future event of seeing God before his death. Job didn't say that he saw God by v26 nor was he stating that others in future times will see God, again, he said HE will see God. Scripture makes it clear that
"no man has seen or can see [God]" (1 Timothy 6:16) since God is
"invisible"(Col 1:15). Job saw God
in a figurative sense when God spoke to him from the windstorm, he himself stated this, "
My ears have heard about you, But now I do see you with my eyes" (Job 42:5). The events of v25 did NOT occur during Job's lifetime.
It is your assumption to believe that the God in v26 is referring to the redeemer who Job said would stand up in the last days.
What can we tell from v25&26?
1. Job said he knows the redeemer is alive will come in the last days (v25)
2. Job said he will see God before his death (v26)
How you managed to link the God mentioned in v26, who Job said he will see before his death, and the redeemer in v25 who would stand up in the last says is beyond me. To claim that Job saw the redeemer is to unwittingly admit that Job lived until Jesus living for hundreds and hundreds of years. Job
did not say he would
seethe redeemer but only that
"that [his] redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth", Job simply stated he knew the redeemer was alive and would come in the last days, Job then went on to say he would see God
before his death. Again, it is your wild assumption that the Job claimed Jesus was God, these texts certainly don't say so.
