Job 19;25, “But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.” As Job laments what must seem like endless torment, he remembers the promise from his Creator. The next verse is typically translated, “Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.” Because flesh and blood can’t live in the presence of our Creator (Exodus 33;20,”But He added, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.”) This verse is better translated as “yet without my flesh”. This indicates a very early understanding of eternal life! Job was considered a contemporary of Abraham, living about the same time, just after the flood. This is another wonderful example of how consistent the Bible really is.
