Lord we thank you and bless you and Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen. Thank you so much. Well as of yesterday we studied on the book of Esther so that completes our study on the historical book so if you could turn to the content page of our Old Testament we studied the first five books that is the Torah, the Pentateuch and then we started with the historical books starting with Joshua, Judges, Ruth and 12 historical books we studied on which we completed with the book of Esther as of yesterday and today we're going to start on the poetic and the wisdom book, poetic and the wisdom book so starting with Job. Let me share the notes with you so that we all can stay on the same page. Okay so here's the introduction to the poetic books. We have five books starting with Job and then Psalms, Proverb, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon and each book has their own theme problem and the progress and we also see the portrayal of Christ in each book that we would study as we go through each book and then the contrast between the history and the poetry. So the history books stressed on the emphasis on the facts of the history whereas in the poetic book we see the emphasis on the experience of life and in the book of history we see the concern with the nation. We see the formation of Israel and they were concerned about the Israel even though they were taken into exile but we see the the move of God in Israel among the Jewish people and in the poetic we would see concern with the individual with the individual person how God moves in that person and and we also see the history dealt with the Hebrew Urres that is a Jewish and here we see in the poetic book we see God dealing with a human heart. Well there are three kinds of Hebrew poetry we see. One is the lyrical poetry and which is the Psalms most of the Psalms. Second we see dietic poetry. It teaches from the from the book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. It talks about the life of a person and how he needs to live and what would be the consequences of his action and actually it speaks to wisdom how a human how a man should live in their life and the third is the dramatic poetry where a lot of dialogues we will find one is the book of Job and the other is the book of Solomon and book of Job is what we would be studying in the next few minutes and there are four types of parallelism we see the synonymous parallelism and then we see the authentical parallelism and sympathetic the progressive parallelism and the climatic parallelism this is what we see and you can just go through it in detail with the example so that it can be your self-study so with this we will move on to the book of Job okay so I will I will close this note we will not go in detail because it's self-explanatory I will directly go to the book and we will study on it directly I'll just close this and I'll present one second when I present yes are we able to see the presentation because I'm not able to see the presentation yes ma'am we are able to see you're able to see the presentation yes ma'am the book of Job yes yes for some reason I'm not able to see just give me a minute I'll just find out why I think now I'm able to see it yeah yes now I'm able to see thank you got it yeah yes so the book of Job so all of us would have heard just like how we would have heard the story of Esther I'm sure we would have heard the story of Job so what is your learning from the book of Job or till now the story that you heard about Job you can just share your views on the book of Job maybe two or three let's make up please anyone whatever you know about the book of Job please we all have heard about the book of Job isn't it therefore it's not the first time we are going to study yeah can I share yes please yeah yeah so our job we know that he is he is portrayed as a righteous man one who fears the Lord and is blameless and he tried to you know honor God with all all the blessings that he had we know he was very very much blessed and whenever his children used to have something going on he would just do sacrifices for them and try to you know please God you know for that and we also read how the devil came and the hedge of protection was taken off and Job was you know afflicted yeah he lost his children all of his all the blessings that he had and we see like his wife even his friends you know they were coming and trying to blame God blame Job so we see all these happening still Job is not forsaking God and in the end yeah as we read like God honors Job and he praised for his friends who were affected later on so and Job was blessed in a double portion thank you well said Divya I think you covered everything in detail thank you so much yeah as she as Divya gave us an introduction to the whole story we will go directly to study on the book of Job well the author who's the author of this book anyone in the class who's the author of this book Moses Moses is the author okay yes actually the scholars say that the author is unknown some believe Moses to be the author because of the vocabulary that has been used which is similar to the book of the Pentateuch the first five books with this book of Job but the other scholars also say that Job would have also been the author due to the details of the conversation that has been recorded and the Old Testament scholars say that those days the Old Testament writers had the way of writing as a third person to narrate the story so they may not be writing the story from the personal perspective but they would be writing the story as though a third person is writing so the scholars still have a debate saying some say it may be Moses because of the same kind of language but then others say it may be Job himself because the details that has been written here looks like it cannot be given by somebody else a different writer but then maybe Job himself so with this perspective in our mind we are not able to give the exact date because they're not confirmed with the author however approximately it may be in 2000 BC so the scholars say that the book of Job is considered as the oldest book in the Bible and Job probably lived during the same time period of Abraham as we don't get to hear anything why we say this may be the time period of Abraham is because of certain evidence because in the book of Job we don't get to read anything about the Exodus moment or talking about law or Torah or of the Israelites or the Jewish people in the book okay but this we will go to the introduction of this book it says that well we till now we have studied on the first five books of the Pentateuch and then we studied on the 12 historical books which comprises the history and then in the Pentateuch we saw the creation from the time of creation to the Persian empire of which the Israelites were in the exile in Babylon and then they have returned back to some of them I've returned back to Jerusalem well the record of history of Jewish nation has been there and now we see the book of Job but then it has been included in the book of poetic that's why the book of Job is here and not in between Genesis or after Genesis yes so the time period of book of Job is during the time of Abraham so as we start to study study on the book of Job the book of Job has 42 chapters it has 42 chapters and the whole time period some of the scholars say that the whole time period of this book maybe of nine months some scholars say it may be 365 days that is one year and some of them say maybe two years so we exactly we are not sure like what was the time period of this book the suffering of Job was but exactly for a short period of time that is what we can confirm for the whole story so it opens with a short narrative introduction in chapter one and two and chapter three to chapter 37 is a central body of the book where it is most of most of it is written in the Hebrew poetic form representing the conversation between Job and first few chapters records the first three friends of him and then the last friend comes to visit him so totally we have the narration of four friends of Job and they discussion with him and from chapter 38 we see Job's conversation with God and it concludes with the poetic speeches by God to Job this we will move on to chapter one so in chapter one chapter one it starts with the introduction to Job and we are told that he is blameless he's upright and one of feared God and also we see that he was an innocent and a good man that's what we see in the first first second and third and the third verse says that he was a wealthy man and a man of prayer so how was wealth been measured by the possession that he had in verse three it says a possession where the seven thousand sheeps three thousand camels five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred female donkeys and you see down you see a very large house also that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east and in as we know and we also see in verse five or verse four we see that his sons would go and feast in their houses and each on his appointed day and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them and verse five can i request anyone in the class to read verse five verse five so it was when the days of feasting had run their course that Job would send and sanctify them and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all for Job said it may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts thus Job did regularly yes so what we see in verse four that his sons would go out for a feast and his daughters are invited and we see the concern of Job in verse five verse five is concerned about his children and he sees to us that he rise in the morning and he offers a burnt offering according to the number of them all but Job said it may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their heart thus Job did this regularly whenever they were feasting and enjoying their life that is Job's children easy to that he offered the burnt offering and he continued to pray what do we learn from the situation we see to it that if the children are grown certain older in age where as a parent we may not be able to control a correct child but then one thing what we could do is pray and intercede like Job intercede and he prayed okay but then one thing that we need to see the Job was he also had a fear within him he was fearful why did he pray continuously over the children and offer burnt sacrifice we see in chapter three verse 25 chapter three verse 25 for the thing I greatly feared has come upon me and what I dreaded has happened to me for the thing I greatly feared has come upon me what I feared would happen to my children has come upon me so one thing we need to do is whatever Job was doing here he was doing this with fear not in faith we need to remember fear lays the foundation for the bad things to happen whereas faith lays a foundation for God to work a miracle in our life so whenever we come to God we need to come in faith not in fear so as a human yes we would come across this emotion in us but then God has given us the authority what was not a job is with us who's that what is that Job didn't have but we have today in our life Holy Spirit yes yes we have the Holy Spirit the comfort or the healer the guide who's in us is much powerful greater is he who's in us than he that is in the world so Job didn't have the Holy Spirit but he was a fearful man of God servant of God but we have the Holy Spirit with us when we come across certain situation like this yes we need to come in the presence of God and intercede and pray but let's pray in faith because faith moves God faith attracts God to us fear brings destruction but faith brings miracle okay so with this we'll move back to our class okay in verse 6 verse chapter 1 verse 6 can I request one of us to please read verse 6 to 19 sorry 6 to 12 6 to 12 step by step now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan also came among them the Lord said to Satan from where do you come the Satan then Satan answered the Lord and said from roaming about on the earth and walking around on it the Lord said to Satan have you considered my servant job for there is no one like him on the earth a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil then Satan answered the Lord does job fear God for nothing have you not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has on every side so you have blessed the work of his go ahead go ahead Joe you have I mean verse 10 second part you have blessed the work of his hand and his possessions have increased in the land but put forth your hand now and touch all that he has he will surely curse you to your face then the Lord said to Satan behold all that he has is in your power only do not put forth your hand on him so Satan departed from the presence of the Lord thank you thank you so in verse 6 we see that now there was a day when the sons of God came into present themselves before the Lord so who is this son sons of God ma'am maybe angels okay right sons of God in the Old Testament okay it is a very common image in the Old Testament describing how God runs the world and among the heavenly beings it is a figurative language where it it is related to the heavenly being sons of God is the heavenly being whereas in the book of New Testament okay in the book of totally I guess 11 times it is mentioned in the in the book of Old Testament two times in the book of Genesis and three times in the book of in the book of Job okay and also in the New Testament it is mentioned five times in the book of New Testament it is mentioned five times the sons of God whereas the Old Testament when it mentions the sons of God it denotes the angels and in the New Testament when it talks about the sons of God it is denoted most of the times Paul has been Paul has been writing in the book of Corinthians or in the book of Romans and Philippians he has mentioned the sons of God okay where it is denoting us as a sons of God and not the angelic being so in the Old Testament when it is mentioned the sons of God it is denoting us sorry in the Old Testament is denoting the angelic being and in the New Testament when it says sons of God it is denoting the us okay whereas in the book of Romans if you take up Romans 8 17 Paul says Paul wrote to the brethren of Rome as many as are led by the spirit of God they are the sons of God so this sons of God is talking about us and also again in the book of Philippians all encourage the Philippians brethren brethren saying be blameless and harmless the sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse perverse nation among whom you shine as a light in the world and also in 1 John 3 1 and 2 it says the beloved John writes he writes saying that behold what manner of love the father had bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God so here it's talking about us beloved now we are the sons of God it's talking about us but in the Old Testament it is talking about the angelic being be clear and now we are back to our scripture where in verse 6 it talks about having a code scene with God the sons of God that is the angelic being God himself and Satan and Satan so in verse 8 we see have you considered Job my servant and God is describing about a joe me is be blameless he is upright and one who fears God and here in verse 9 we see that Satan answered the Lord and said does Job fear God for nothing do you think he fears you for nothing but you see you have put the edge around him that means even if certain wanted to attack him Satan is not able to do that because God's protection hedge is around Job it's around him as an individual person around his household around his family and around all that he has on every side around his wealth and possession that he has you have blessed the work of his hands because Job feared God God has blessed the work of his hands and this possessions have increased in the land very important verse can we mark this this is what God protection can do for each of us one who fears God and walks uprightly friend of God this is the protection of God that we have that's why when we pray we say Lord you put your edge around us around our family around our possession everything that we have so that the enemy cannot come near us or attack us nothing can arm us here we see the confirmation of God's protection that the enemy is not able to come near Job because God's protection is around him now Satan is asking to remove that protection so that I can attack him and see even after that will he please God will he fear God will he still praise you or will he curse you and God says okay I'll permit you but then there is a condition do not touch do not touch him and then we come to verse 13 verse 13 we see Job loses all his property and possession there's a certain man who comes certain man who comes and tells a Job of the things that is happening there was a there was a day when the son and his daughters were eating and drinking suddenly a message come to Job and said the ox were plowing and the donkeys feed beside them and you know the sad being raided them and took them away killed the killed your servant and edge of the sword and I alone have escaped to tell you so we see that you know the raiders have come and raided all your cattle's your camels your bean and you know they have killed your servant and I was alone who's escaped to come and tell you the news while he was still speaking another servant came and said the chalodians formed three bands raided the camels and took them away yes and killed your servant with the edge of the sword and I'm alone escaped suddenly you see the destruction when everything was peaceful and nice everything was well but Job but suddenly things are changing while he was still speaking another came and said your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house and suddenly a great wind came across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house and it fell on the young people and they are dead and I alone have escaped to tell you now all the children of Job have died then Job arose tore his clothes and shaved his head and he fell to the ground and worshiped God it's a very beautiful verse verse 21 said naked I came from my mother's womb and naked shall I return there the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away blessed be the name of the Lord it's a very hard thing for any of us to say like this and pray but it was only the grace of God made Job to say this with a great understanding with what wisdom he says in that situation that naked I came naked I go and in 22nd verse it says and all this Job did not say not charge God with anything wrong with anything wrong and later in chapter 2 we see that how Job's health has been attacked again there's a again there's a conference in the heavenly realm and now again you know the Satan says you need to touch his skin his bones and you see how will be what will be his reaction and God again permits that but says you should not with a condition nothing should happen to his life and now you see their souls all over his body from the crown of his head to the very soul of his feet he's been afflicted with pain the boils had too much of pain with all this he's been sitting there with great turmoil and with pain in this situation I'm sure as he was blessed he was standing as an example a man of blessing in the nation and many people would have looked up to him and saw that he was a man of God and he was a man of blessing the same people who spoke well about Job is now okay coming and looking at the situation and each one would have their own own share of words talking about Job's situation and then we see his own wife who comes to Job and she says in chapter 2 verse 9 he says then his wife said to him do you still hold fast to your integrity he was known as a man of integrity and his wife says curse God and die it is better for you to curse God and die why did she say this why did Job's wife say curse God and die she could have just said no go and die why did she say curse God and die class open to you why do you think she would have said this now time is running so we need to be fast to complete the whole story anyone there's nothing wrong answer right answer just share what your thought is feel free be comfortable in the class that's okay I think his wife thought actually all the actual problems is occurring because of God only God is the reason behind every problem okay anyone else ma'am may I yes please said ma'am as in Genesis we see that Satan used Eve to eat that fruit and to do a sin and the whole mankind came under the sin so what I was thinking that in the same way Satan might have used that Job's faith is not breaking or shaking so I will use his wife to touch Job so that he can do at least he can curse God that's what I was thinking exactly exactly thank you Sid thank you Sid yes God reveals it to us in this way thank you as it has been I'm sure it has been from the God's wisdom that you shared yes yes the ultimate motto for the enemy to do everything to destroy his wealth his possession his children and still we see in the end of chapter one we see in all this Job did not sin not charged God with wrong verse 22 ultimately why the Satan is trying to do all this not to trouble Job but to show God that this man also can curse you when you take away all the blessing he can curse you because Job is not reacted till now what was expected from the Satan he talks through his wife just like how in the New Testament we see that when Peter didn't allow God's plan you know God said the rebuke get away from me Satan you know so he's not telling Peter that he's Satan but the wife thought that Peter shared was not from God's plan it was from the enemy so even here we see that she's been used by the Satan the very thought that she shared is not from God but exactly fulfilling what the enemy wanted Job to do so it's coming to the point curse God and die curse God and then you die anyway you die but then curse God so that anyway the enemy cannot take his life because God has not given him that permission okay one second he wants Job to curse God both the things can happen only through Job so exactly to the two points he's coming he's saying curse God so that my plan has fulfilled and kill yourself die because I cannot do anything to you God has not permitted me he has not given me that permission to do anything to you so friends any difficulty any word in our difficult situation these kind of thoughts the enemy can put in our mind also or through people like this difficult situation can come to any of us all of us because we are living in a fallen world and our mind is a battlefield if you see the newspaper or the magazine you see everywhere young young children young adults have been committing suicide doing all kind of wrong things killing each other misbehaving with the little children little girls have been raped and killed where all this happening who is behind the scene you saw what's happening so we need to pray we need to stay strong in the Lord if each of us are going through any such situation we need to hold on to God because only he can protect us he can bring us out God is a God of wisdom with his wisdom he can restore us whatever we lose whatever the time another thing so with this we can and we see Job's three friends come sorry there are totally four friends who come and approach him but the first is the first three friends fix an appointment with him and they come to meet Job and they heard about what's happening in his life so they want to spend time they want to come and personally meet him and be with him during this difficult season so they come and meet Job for next seven days and seven nights they don't speak anything to him but after that after that when Job opens himself shares of his affliction with them then each friend give their own set of views initially it was little good but later on to the conversation because they are not able to understand what is happening with Job's life because he's been a good man but still some things are not right knowing God God does not punish the good man but he punishes the sinner so they conclude they're saying that Job maybe you would have done some something wrong some you would have had some secret sin that has turned into such an affliction and that it has brought you to this situation where you have just lost everything and you're sitting on this tree and not only your possession but now even your health you've been covered with painful sores you lost everything and each one share their own views over Job and we see the conversation that is happening from chapter 3 to chapter 37 and his fourth friend now cups before that I will just explain about the four friends the four friends are Eliphaz he gives three speeches and then we have we see in chapter 2 verse 11 Elie has the Temmonite, Bildad, the Shoite and Zophir the Namthite these are the three friends and lastly Elie who the Buzite also joins them Elie was a type of Christ Elie was a type of Christ and he actually finally speaks and suggests Job's suffering arises for reasons of purification or correction rather than punishment he gives him some kind of strength in his time of affliction he urged Job to humble himself before God and be patient because God is greater than man and man's understanding therefore man has no right to question God because there were a lot of questions if you see in chapter 14 Job himself is asking sorry Job himself is asking three questions let me be fast because of the time who can bring a clean thing Job 14 verse 4 the first question has been asked who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean no one and questioned to it says but man dies and is a later way indeed he breathes his last and where's he he's asking God where's he and third question and verse four if a man dies shall he live again for man dies shall he live again so all these questions all these three questions though Job do not get he does not get the answer for all his three questions even when God starts speaking to him and verse 38 God he does not but then the ones we who read this we can understand all these questions all the three questions of Job are fulfilled in Jesus in the New Testament for which of much many years later God fulfills that he is a redeemer Jesus is a redeemer and the second and third question we see that Jesus is a mediator and he's a advocate it's been fulfilled God fulfills all these three questions in Jesus and Job what I've got the answer and later part Job realizes in 37 he realizes what he's doing is not right so he prays and he prays to God and he prays for his three friends and he prays to God and 38 we see then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said who is this who darkens counsel my words without knowledge now prepare yourself like a man I will question you and you shall answer me so there are a lot of questions and here we see God talking about the universe who put the earth now we see in the science that the scientists found the earth was flat initially and then they found no the earth is round and it is hanging in the space but we see in the oldest book in the ancient book of Job God describing the universe the God who created the universe describing it that earth is in its place in its orbit hanging there by the command by the word of God it is not towards its left or it cannot move towards right it is exactly in the in the place where it has to be if you see there are other nine planets also they don't move out of the orbit but they move circle around the sun but in their orbits how because God has placed them there and he has instructed them by his word and also your God talks about the universe the stars and the constellation we see God talking about the Orion constellation other constellations yes we can due to time I'm not able to explain how you know the constellation our place and there's a west star which is in the form of cross in the in the in the sky where even those days now we have GPS axis but those days the navigators and the ship cannot navigate towards the earth they will just look at that star the star that is in the shape of a cross look at that west star and they navigate themselves to reach the shore so everywhere you see God's redeeming plan for the mankind as the sign has been placed as a symbol well to the 42 the conclusion so God is able to convince Job and he's able to talk to him convince him know the mighty hand of God the power of God and then Job repents as God for forgiveness and he prays also for his three friend and when he reconciles with God repents with God we see God granting granting Job and he's been restored back now when he's restored God restores him double the proportion verse 10 before that in chapter 42 verse 2 it says then Job answered the Lord and said I know that you can do everything and that no purpose of yours can be withheld from you and verse 5 says I have heard of you by the hearing of the year and now my eyes sees you therefore I abode myself and repent in dust and ashes and as we see the conversation verse 10 the Lord restored Job's losses and he prayed for his friends indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before twice as much what he had before he was blessed man prayed then God blessed him then all his brothers all his sisters and all those who had been his acquaintance before came to him and ate food with him in his house and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the Lord had brought upon him each one gave him a piece of silver and a ring of gold verse 12 now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his blessing for he had 14,000 sheep 6,000 camel 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkey he also had seven sons and three daughters it is not there was no resurrection as such there what God is saying is God gave him God blessed and he started working and then he would have got we are not very sure whether these children are from the same wife was she did she come back repent and came back or Job got married again we don't know but again God has blessed him with another children that is again seven sons and three daughters he didn't double the number of their children but he retained the same number of the children and one thing we should know that uh uh yeah and he called the name of the first uh Jamima the name of the second Kezia and the name of the uh uh a third Karen the three daughters and in all the land we found no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job Job had three very beautiful daughters in all over the land and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers and after this Job lived 140 years and saw his children and grandchildren for four generation and Job died old and full of days you see the blessing of God you see the restoration of God God will never forsake us he loves us so in understanding of the New Testament if you have been afflicted with any sickness or disease please don't have this in mind like maybe as I've got punished Job God would have loved the enemy to punish me please don't have it it is in the Old Testament but in the New Testament this work is done on the cross in Job's time Jesus was not there but much later Jesus died on the cross and he has taken away all our sins all our sickness disease on the cross so that we don't have to suffer okay so we need to clean if you're if you if any sickness and disease yes we are in this world which is fallen but then if you have been afflicted with any kind of suffering difficult situation circumstances we need to ask and pray with the authority Lord you take away the situation I command the sickness and disease to leave me do not have the mindset to accept it oh God is God is punishing me I need to endure it just like how Job endured it it is God's will please don't do that then there is no meaning for what Jesus had done the work that Jesus did on the cross okay Jesus has taken away all sickness shame you know everything on the cross so any circumstance that we face in our life we need to say Jesus you have died on the cross for me you have forgiven me from my sins and I command the situation to change the name of Jesus speak to that mountain that mountain well go speak to your sickness and disease because it has no authority to afflict you because in the New Testament when we read through the parables of healing we see Jesus says I'm willing you need to be healed I'm willing you be healed again in 1 Peter 2 24 we see that we see that in 1 Peter 2 24 what does it say can any one of us please read before we conclude our class by my stripes you will be healed or you were healed can anyone clarify that what does it say you were healed you were healed is that past tense present tense future tense past tense past tense even though if you have sickness and disease when we claim on this saying that you were healed that is by the stripes of Jesus by the wounds of Jesus we were healed despite our sickness and disease when we claim the scripture over us over our body our God is a God who calls things into existence when we cooperate when we work with God we see the sickness and disease move away from us the situation change and we see the blessing of God the health of God into our body okay so we need to work we need to study the Old Testament scriptures having the New Testament the finished work of Jesus on the cross okay and not go completely with the Old Testament well today the highlights of this books are here which we saw okay with this we will end the book of Job so what was our learning if two or three could share did this class help you please and we approach God we approach in faith not in fear yes yes thank you John when we approach God we should approach him with faith because as I said faith attracts God that tracks God so we need to approach God with faith and not with fear next anyone else what was our learning from this class or anything that you would like to add on yes there are so much that we can share but because of time we would have not covered everything but something new that you knew and it has not been covered please feel free to share it ma'am yes please ma'am what I liked about job is the most thing like he is not cursing God even though he doesn't have any happiness or anything he's going through a hard time very struggle he's going through a disease he's rubbing his body very worse condition but still his wife is telling like Adam Adam was convinced with his wife and he cursed he did the bad thing but the thing but the thing is like he is so much content that he's not listening what his wife is saying but to God he's still content he's praying for his friends even though he has nothing no blessings in his life and this because of this reason only the God blesses him he's saying like I will I came naked and I will go naked he is not having pride of his possession and this thing he's happy with what he has even though he has nothing or he has everything still he's praising God and the and ma'am one more thing I want to add and the thing I what I noticed is like we are the children of God and Satan has no power to harm us if Satan wants to touch us still he needs the permission from the Lord yes yes and I'll just say I see your question here which is related to the New Testament okay the three temptation that Jesus went through and your question is how can how can Satan God the power to tempt the Son of God that is Jesus is that your question yes ma'am okay that you will we will cover it when you are studying a New Testament in detail but then I would just say the man fell in in the book of Genesis when God when even Satan tempted Eve there are three areas that he fell one is the pride of eyes she fell the fruit was good and then the pride of flesh if she you know if she eats she'll become like God and then she will not she will not die if she is that fruit she will not die pride of life so the three areas she fell and exactly the temptation we don't know how many times the enemy would have tempted Jesus in the in the wilderness but then the three temptation has been recorded exactly of pride of eyes pride of life and pride of the flesh the Jesus overcame to which the man fell in the Genesis year in the New Testament we see that Jesus overcame those temptation and also another way to prove that you know man will be tempted but God has given that power for us to overcome through Christ take that answer your question thank you ma'am for the clarity thank you so God bless can can one of us please dismiss us with a word of
