We have seen in “God’s Celestial Word: The Book of Job” that the Book of Job was the first written revelation given to mankind. We also saw a structure for the entire Book of Job to help us understand what the story of Job is all about. We are narrowing in on a section of this book where God tells Job about His Word written in the heavens. The subject of the Word is the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

This Psalm includes the title “when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” I Samuel 22:5 says that “the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.” Of another occasion, I Samuel 23:14 says that “David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.”
