What a comfort to every believer that the Lord Jesus Christ prays for us on an individual level. He sees your need, and He prays for you!

In the final chapters of Daniel we are invited to a number of 'behind the scenes' tours as he describes the visions God has given him - a heavenly perspective of the events to take place on earth. And if we are honest, much of the future revealed in Chapter 8 looks rather grim. Terrifying even! And yet Daniel is shown these things so that he and his people can be prepared for what is to come and comforted in the knowledge that the Lord is the one directing each and every scene of history. However appalled or overwhelmed we might be at the state of the world today, we too can be comforted in the same knowledge - the Lord is the one directing the days of our lives and the nations of the world. We too, in Christ, can be prepared and persevere in faith and 'rise up and go about the king's business,' trusting the God of gods and Lord of kings whose kingdom endures forever.

Ray Comfort recently posted a video making accusations against the greater King James Bible believer community. Since 1611 untold millions have read, studied, memorized, lived by, and were saved and preserved by the greatest book EVER printed in English. He accused them of being ignorant of other previous English Bibles, accusing them of spreading a lie that there can be no other vernacular translations of the Bible. I take his words from the video and compare them with what the Bible actually says. Using arguments from the authority of the Word of God. Comfort never once supplied any verse of scripture in support of his accusations and beliefs. For those who would accuse me of going after him because of his fame, you don't know me. Fame means nothing to me, neither does fortune. But accusing a large community of simple people who have believed their Bibles for over 400 years of such ignorance, I could not let that go without correction. And before you decide to make any rude or offensive comments about me, first, I would watch the video, second making me out to be wrong does not make you right.

"There is a God!" This is King Nebuchadnezzar's first formal introduction to Yahweh – 'God of gods and Lord of kings' who 'reveals mysteries.' Have you met him? Do you know him? He certainly knows you. We will either be greatly comforted by this truth or completely terrified by it. Because in the end every earthly endeavour to make a name for ourselves will come to nothing and only the kingdom of God will remain. As he reveals himself to us in his Son, Jesus Christ, let's not reject the stone that all other kingdom builders have rejected. For it is only through faith in him that we are welcomed and adopted into his kingdom family forever.

We come this week to what has been described as "the most obscure and difficult in the whole of the Pauline writings" (Leon Morris 1984). However, despite the many gaps and guesses in the thinking around this passage in 2 Thessalonians 2, it is in fact meant to be a word of great encouragement and hope to the church in Thessalonica, and therefore, to us. As daunting as the prospect of the revealing of 'the man of lawlessness' may be, he is brought to nothing by the appearing of Christ. Paul writes this passage, not to shake the church up but to settle it down; not to spook them into a panic but to comfort and stir their hearts in patient faith, steadfast hope and enduring love.

After spending four months in our 'Lessons From Job' series, I wonder what we have learned. I do hope and pray we have learned something of God– his sovereignty, his justice, his love. What might we now say to a friend or loved one going through a difficult time? What comfort and counsel might we offer to those in deep anguish? I wonder what Job's three friends would tell their families when they return home after their time with Job? And especially after this final chapter in the story? They spoke wrongly of God, and yet still the Lord provides for them a path of restoration through sacrifice and intercession, just as he has for us in his Son. Even in this final 'lesson' there is much to learn.

Comfort has quickly turned into competition between Job and his three friends. They are all determined to stick to their guns which, whilst admirable, only serves to intensify their animosity for each other. In the midst of all this Job maintains his innocence and displays brief but bold glimpses of his only remaining hope. He has longed for a mediator (9:33). He now claims to have a 'witness' in heaven who will testify for him (16:19) and then declares, "I know that my Redeemer lives" (19:25). This side of the cross we may know more than Job, but only because we share the same hope and Redeemer, who has revealed himself to us in his Son, Jesus Christ. In this hope we are saved!

Ray Comforts book study this one is the intro and pick up at lesson 16, necessity of repentance.

Dalton Windsor was behind the microphone for this edition of the "Round-Up" program as Jim was away at Trail Ridge Camp in Hillsboro, Wisconsin. Dalton had plenty to bring to everyone's attention with the following stories taking the lead in the first half hour: Beloved Pastor John MacArthur passed away Monday at the age of 86. Dalton provided tribute message audio cuts from Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Todd Friel, Ray Comfort and Ken Ham on the ministry impact of Pastor MacArthur. The statewide death toll from the recent flooding in central Texas has risen to 135. President Trump said he's directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant Grand Jury testimony concerning anything related to Jeffrey Epstein. Billionaire Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone has had a complete turn-around regarding President Trump after first blasting the president and his sweeping tariffs. During a CNBC appearance, Langone said he was wrong in calling out the president back in April. Other stories dealt with Joe Biden's health and Secret Service security failures during the Donald Trump, Butler, Pennsylvania, rally. Listeners wrapped up the broadcast with their questions and comments.

How does one respond to Job's deep heart cry that we heard last week from Chapter 3? Breaking a weeklong silence, Eliphaz ventures to be the first of Job's three friends to speak. And like so much false teaching, much of what he says is true, but it's not the whole truth. He declares God's sovereignty and justice but not his covenant grace and faithfulness, and he therefore fails to comfort Job. May the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory, restore, confirm, strengthen and establish us in his covenant faithfulness in Jesus Christ.

This week we will be introduced to Job's three loyal friends who come to show their sympathy and to comfort Job. They are stunned when they see their brother. He is unrecognisable to them– such is his anguish and affliction. After weeping and wailing loudly and expressing their own grief they fall into a week-long silence with their friend. Perhaps like us sometimes, they don't know what to say. Or perhaps, just being there with Job is enough to express their love and to comfort him with their quiet company. May the Lord teach us how to 'suffer well' in faith, and to know how to love those around us who are experiencing their own anguish and grief.
