Bible Answers:
The scripture to which you refer is....
Job 19:25-27 KJV
[25] For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
[26] And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
[27] Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Job professed a belief that
He believed that his REDEEMER was alive, and that one day He would vindicate, and restore, him.
He believed that his REDEEMER would one day come and stand upon the earth.
He believed in RESURRECTION, that although his body would one day die and decay, yet one day in his flesh, he would see God.
Job was a man of faith!
Now it may be true as it was with the prophets, that not all was understood, yet that the inspirational words from the Lord, were believed, and that without doubt!
I Peter 1:8-12 NLB
8 You love Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see Him now, you trust Him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.
9 The reward for trusting Him will be the salvation of your souls.
10 This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you.
11 They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when He told them in advance about Christ's suffering and His great glory afterward.
12 They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.
II Peter 1:21 KJV
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
A Great Day, soon coming for all blood bought Children of God!
I Corinthians 15:51-58 NASB
51.Behold, I tell you a mystery ; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52.in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet ; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be
changed.
53.For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54.But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is
written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.
55."O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY ? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING ?"
56.The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law ;
57.but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58.Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18 NASB
13.But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
14.For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
15.For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16.For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17.Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
18.Therefore comfort one another with these words
