A 1189 Day Journey Through the Bible

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 40: God and Job now have a conversation, most of which is had by God.  Job sounds a bit frightened as God continues to flex.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 39: God continues by talking about a lot of different animals.  I think God is flexing to show that God controls all of the animals and the people don't.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 38: Then God decides to talk, but pretty much talks in poetry like the rest of the characters in this book of Job.  Most of the talk here is about how God is tough.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 37: and Elihu continues yet again.  I guess he was holding all of this in.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 36: And Elihu continues.  God is mighty, God is this, God is that, etc. etc.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 35: and on and on.  more about God.  but then Job opens his mouth and doesn't say anything, but evidently a lot was communicated.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 34: and Elihu goes on and on about the same thing.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 33: This dude goes on about how he's perfect and God still doesn't like him, or something like that.  Blah blah.  There's some good one liners but you really just need to read it for yourself.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 32: So this guy named Elihu was mad at Job for justifying himself rather than God (not sure what that means) and had patiently waited to speak, since the other three men were older than him. He basically calls the other guys out, saying that they didn't prove Job wrong or address any of his arguments.  But for someone everything in this book is said in poetic fashion.

I am writing from my hotel in Spokane, WA. Job 31: Job has one last speech and his words are now ended.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 30: and Job goes on and on and on and on.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 29: Job continues and longs for days past.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 28: This chapter is just a long poem about wisdom that concludes by saying that the fear of God is wisdom. Okay.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 27: Job says here that even though God dumped on him, he still won't say anything wicked or tell any lies. The point of this story is that Job gets put through the ringer and doesn't turn into a garbage person.  Though he does complain a lot.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 26: Job comes out swinging, asking him how he has helped the powerless.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 25: Bildad replies with how humans are crap.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 24: Job just continues.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 23: Job replies here with how he cannot find God, yet God continues to torment him.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 22: Eliphaz replies a bit self righteous and all knowing, just telling Job to submit to God. Isn't that kinda what Job has done?  I mean he goes back and forth between that and being pissed off and then lamenting.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 21: Job replies with more of the same.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 20: Zophar replies with a long, negative, poetic response.  It is hard to summarize these as they are just long monologues.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 19: Job replies with similar stuff that he's been saying.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 18: Bildad responds with a long poetic retort and asks him when the speeches will stop. SAME

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 17: Job continues to lament.  He appears hopeless, saying the only home he hopes for is the grave.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 16: Job replies pleading with God and talking about how God has dumped on him.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 15: Eliphaz replies rather harsh and longwinded.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 14: And the dramatics continue.  Some shots at God thrown in too.

I am writing from my desk in Seattle, WA. Job 13: Job continues with more lamenting.  It is very dramatic.
