G-d's calendar: 5th day, 12th month, year 5771

Job 2:10
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of G-d, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

II Corinthians 4:17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

The lives of Job and Paul. You know, Job was a righteous man that was tested to the limits of human endurance. And he was tested to that length because G-d knew him and knew that he was a righteous man. Job knew and loved G-d, not for the blessings and prosperity and that was proven. Job continued to acknowledge the Sovereignty of G-d after the loss of it all and yet we read he was restored. Paul was the opposite. He was a religious monster full of self-righteousness. With that in his culture, came prosperity and prestige that he gave up for the righteousness of G-d, who is Y'hshuwah. Paul knew, in all likelihood, he would see physical death because of his relationship with G-d, without material gain or prosperity restoration.
