Wisdom that Justifies Yahweh and not us – Job 32

Starts off with why Jobs 3 friends stopped answering him. ‘Because he was righteous in his own eyes’. we ought to not justify myself but rather justify Yahweh. (The next writings when Yahushua’s identity was in question in John 7, Yahshua did not justify himself but glorified the father).
Elihu said I did not speak because I thought age should speak, advance in years should also teach wisdom, BUT it is the spirit of Yahweh in a person, the breath of the Yahweh Almighty which gives understanding.

none could prove him wrong:
none of Jobs friends could prove him wrong because no one could answer his argument(s). They choose to condemn Job than to refute him. ELIHU goes on to say ‘I have wisdom, let Yahweh not man refute him. So even still Job marshalled words against Elihu (God is he). Elihu did not answer him, with other arguments because they (his friends) became dismayed and no more to say against Job. WORDS failed them.

Elihu decided to have his say, he said he also will tell what he knows, for he is full of words, and the spirit within him compels him to speak. Elihu wanted to speak so he’d not burst up as he would burst as wine. In this verse all Elihu was referencing was Jesus he was accused he said nothing and when he did it was to glorify Yahweh as Yahweh is our defense and righteousness.


A balance with John 7
As brothers/Sisters in the Hashem, it was interesting to see that Yahushua brothers did not believe I him. He said words like “No one who wants to become a public figure act in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world”. Yahshua’s response wasn’t to condemn his brothers he said “the world cannot hate you because you do not testify against evil works. (There will never be a friend like Yahweh).

This is why Jesus understood time, because “the bible says the days are evil” – Ephesians 6: 13. Romans 13: 11, John 11:9. Jesus moved in secret but testified and reproof in public.

The charge:
John 7: 12 ‘ others replied, no, he deceives the people.’ but none said anything for fear of the leaders. People started pondering where Yahshua got his learning from?



How Jesus Justified himself:
My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do the will of Yahweh will find out whether I speak on my own.

If we speak of our own, we do so for our personal gain/ glory. If we justify ourselves, we speak for our own self. (verse 18)

the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is A Man OF TRUTH, and there is nothing FALSE ABOUT HIM.


Division OVER WHO YASHUA IS:
Jesus answered you know me and know where I am from. I AM not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is TRUE. (not about us, about him)

The last day and greatest day of the festival (verse 37) (THE LAST DAYS).
Yahushua said let anyone who is thirsty come and drink. Whoever believes in THE SCRIPTURE he has said, ‘rivers of living water will flow from within them.” – verse 39. As in the last days, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. Acts 2:17, Joel 2;28-32.

Takeaway
We refute not condemn.
We Justify ourselves in Yahushua.
when words were marshalled by Job to God, Elihu (God is he) didn’t answer his arguments but refute him with God.
Our defense even in words comes from Yahweh.
It is the spirit of Yahweh that gives true wisdom and knowledge. (It is the spirit of Yahweh, revived in us or coming alive in us that gives us wisdom not of this world but in Christ).
we judge not by appearance (everyone knows this). John 7: 24
the mere fact that we say that Yahweh is our righteousness means we believe he is just to justify our sins, how much more the sins we have not committed). He is our justification.
Laws don’t change people, Yahushua does. the same people who make the laws break them; this why Jesus asked the John 7: 19 has Moses not given you the laws; yet none of you keeps the laws. Nicodemus asked about the Jewish laws in verse 50; stating that without first hearing a man to find out what he has been doing? Yet they condemn him because of the belief that no good thing came out of Galilee, they believed no prophet came out of Galilee.
Knowing one should judge people by appearance, race, background or even where they come from doesn’t change them. Knowledge does not bring about change if the heart doesn’t change.
