Anagrams can have an unusual way of confirming the truth of a matter or the meaning behind a word. Here is what I found for the phrase "Patience of Job"
|
Abject Opine Of
Abject...utterly hopeless, miserable, humiliating, or wretched: ex.abject poverty.
Opine...To have an opinion: believe, consider, deem, hold, think, figure, judge.
Summary - Miserable, humiliating, and in a very hopeless condition accurately
describes Job's opinion of his condition and explains the ostracization he
experienced from his community.
Faience Job Pot
fa•ience Earthenware decorated with colorful opaque glazes
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes...
Job 2:8 (potsherd-n : a shard of pottery/A piece or fragment of a broken pot/a "shred", i.e.,
anything severed, as a fragment of earthenware
Summary - The faience provided Job with the fragment he needed to scrape himself as he
endured the itching and pain associated with the boils
Here is what I found for the phrase "Affliction of Job"
|
Pain Object Foe
This anagram is fairly self-explanatory. Satan is the foe, and Job is the object of the pain
he is inflicting.
A Boil Con Jiff Oft
Boil...a painful sore with a hard, pus-filled core (pus indicating underlying infection )
Con...A prefix meaning with or together
Jiff...n.A very brief time: crack, flash, instant, minute, moment
Oft...adv. Often
Summary - over a very brief period of time the boils began developing, and they kept coming
It is very exciting to see how the anagrams bear witness to the truth of the Bible! When
we consider that this account was originally written in Hebrew, and translated to English
many hundreds of years later, we can only marvel at the way a simple literary function
substantiates the Biblical account. "Thy testimonies are very sure..."Psalm 93:5
