Job 20:28

28 The increase [yabuwl] of his house [bayith] shall depart [galah], and his goods shall flow away [nagar] in the day [yowm] of his wrath ['aph]. KJV-Interlinear

28 'The increase of his house will depart; His possessions will flow away in the day of His anger. NASB

The word for 'depart' means to go into captivity, to become the property of another, to disappear permanently as ones own.

This is the destiny of everything you will ever own, achieve, or possess from his world.

The waters of a gigantic flood will rise up and wash away your home. It and everything in it and around it, will vanish.

Now you see it and now you don't. If you have ever seen water wash across a very dry ground, sink in and then the water is gone, that is how your possessions, your pride and joys of this life will be.

They will be with you for a very short time, but when their time is up, you will see them and have them no more.

And when is all of this to happen?

'In the day of His anger.' What exactly does that mean? Perhaps you will lose all of your things at the Second Advent. Perhaps you will lose all of your things at the end of human history. But that is not the meaning here.

The meaning here is simply, 'Jesus Christ controls history.' Jesus Christ controls every aspect of your life.

Sure you make decisions and have some semblance of direction in your life, but Jesus Christ is God, the Son of God, and He carries out every detail of Gods Plan, which was authored by the Father in eternity past. We call that plan the Devine Decrees.

You can advance along with that plan to certain success for your life, or you can reject it and make up your own plan, for certain failure in your life. You always have a choice.

You life was conceived in eternity past, by God. Your life became a reality when you were born and God imputed human life into your soul. Your life will continue forever from that moment on.

The real question here is, 'Are you going to prepare for your total life for all of eternity, or just this short version while on this earth, while ignoring the rest?'

Which offers you more? Or perhaps you may feel you don't have any obligations in this life!

Now is the time to post a prayer.
