Another skit from Timi P
Enjoy!
“Very well,” the LORD told Satan, “everything he owns is in your power. However, you must not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the LORD’s presence.Ā
Holman Christian Standard Bible, Jobs 1:12
We all Some of us know about the story of Jobs in the old testament about his tribulations on earth which was approved by God, it was a wager between God and Satan about the devout nature of Jobs in service to God.
Long story short, God gave Satan the approval to torment him and test him if he will still be faithful despite all his travails. This post will focus on Jobās comedic entrance into Heaven after he died.
Job arrived at the gates of Heaven, everywhere was shining, almost blinding with the streets paved in Gold, the beautiful pearly gate was opened to Jobs.
As he walked into paradise, he heard a voice from a distant
āJob, my son! Is that you?ā The voice was clear as day and very soothing, he could the power and love in the voice. The voice became clearer as he moved closer to him.
There was no need for introductions, it is God!
The elderly but very agile man walked towards him in anticipation, with arms open.
āBring it in!ā
Jobs rushed into the arms of God, it all made sense. He could hear the music, the sweet music in the ears. The Harp was so melodic and smooth.
āWelcome home, Jobā God continued. I thank you for all the good work youāve done on earth.
Tears strolled down Jobās eyes as he slowly disengaged from the hug he would have loved to last forever.
āWalk with me, sonā He told Job.
As the walked the beautiful heavenly streets with towers and mansions with foundations in the cloud, the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, more beautiful that whatever had been described in any book.
āYour story, the story of your travails will live on forever, much more than you can imagine.ā
āYour story is that or courage and resilience and absolute faith in my will for your lifeā.
Along the street in different houses, he could see people taking harp lessons, David was coordinating the choir, the Halleluyah been sang was legendary, no other people could sing with so much accord, seemed like the choir of hundreds of thousands of people were singing with one voice.
On the other aisle was Abraham coordinating for the big feast later today in honor of Job, the newly arrived son of God.
As they moved along the streets of heaven, Job was overwhelmed with the beautiful city of God. Jesus, the son of God playing with children.
āHey Jesus, come meet Job. You remember him right?ā
Jesus came to join them, also smiling, he gave Job a big hug, and remarked
āWe are all proud of what your life signifiedā.
Job looked at God wondering who Jesus was, God quickly clarified,
āJesus is my son. He shows up later in the timespace but he was here while we all witnessed your story
āYour son?ā Job inquired
āDonāt worry yourself, Itāll all be understandable to you later onā God told him
āJob, I would like to say once more, great work, the heavens and the earth will never forget the path your life has playedā Jesus said, feeling proud of Job.
āIts all so beautiful and heart wrenching to find out that all that happened to you was all known to the Almighty Godā Jesus said
At this point, Job needed more clarification on Jesusā last statement.
āGod, what does Jesus mean by you knew about all of thisā Job asked.
āTake it easy, Job. There is a very small explanation for this. Trust meā God said.
āGod allowed Satan to test your faithā Jesus said
āJ-E-S-U-S!ā God called out his name.
āDad, no use ripping the bandage slowly. The wound has healedā Jesus defended himself
āItās not in your place to say, son!ā God said
āWhat is Bandageā Job asked.
āIts something that was invented, thousands of years later to prevent infections. Youāll understand that later, itās a future innovationā God said
āFrom what Jesus is saying, you knew Satan was gonna destroy my life and you allowed me.ā
āHang on, Job! Donāt be like this. I allowed him touch everything you own asides your life. Technically, your life was secure throughoutā God said
āYou gambled with my life?ā Job asked.
āIt was a calculated bet, you would win anywaysā God said
āYou knew I would winā Job inquired, with a look of absolute befuddlement.
āYes, I knew. You know, with me being ALPHA & OMEGA, The beginning and the end, OMNIPRESENT and OMNIPOTENT, those abilities come in highly needed.ā God said
āLike how I know, there will be Youtube, and youāll see a lot of funny cat videos. When you settle in, I will show you a couple of cat videos, and this funny black lady that I saved from a fire, then goes aint-nobody-gat-time-fo-that. Youāll love Youtube, Job⦠Youāll crack up.ā
āYoutube, videos, aint-nobody-gat-time-fo-dat. What are those?ā Job asked
āTheyāre all future things, thousands of years before they come to pass. You should try to keep up better next time because aint-nobody-gat-time-fo-datā God said cracking up.
Jesus joined in, those videos are really hilarious dad, canāt get enough of them. Its what weāve been watching, after the morning praise session.
āCan we come back to me right now? My travails and the fact that you allowed itā Job spoke as it seems, God and Jesus were having laughs about something he had no idea about.
āOkay Job, Comeāon, donāt be such a killjoy. I know the plans I had for you even before you were born from your motherās wombā God said
Jesus nodded in approval to Godās last sentence.
āWhat is a killjoy?ā Job asked a rhetorical question
āDonāt tell me! Someone who tries to bring down the moodā Job said
God and Jesus nodded in agreement as angels flew down and handed out smoothies to all 3 having the conversation.
God and Jesus sucked the straw a decent amount of the juice. Job observed both father and son enjoy whatever it is the angels just delivered.
āJob, you gotta try this drink out. It will B-L-O-W Y-O-U-R M-I-N-D. A thousand percent guaranteed! ā Jesus said
āAnother product from the future rightā Jesus replied nodding consecutively not willing to stop sipping the smoothie just to answer Jobās rhetorical question.
āHeās catching up so fast, dadā Jesus said to God
āJob, ever since me and Jesus started drinking these smoothies, it has changed our lives forever. No one knows more about forever and eternity than me.ā God said
Job gave a strong stare, they both removed the straw from their mouth.
āGod, why are you speaking like this?ā
āThatās the accent of black people from the future. Everything is funny how they say it. absolutely delightful bunch.ā God replied.
āI did everything you wanted me to do, I dedicated my life and family to your will.ā Job said
āAnd I know, and everyone appreciates your sacrifice. Look all around you, youāre in heaven nowā God said, massaging Jobās shoulders.
āIt all happened back there Job, its in the past nowā Jesus said.
āHow about my family, they are deadā Job said
āYea, they died back there on earth, pay close attention Job, but theyāre here, waiting for you.ā
God said, āPlease can the Jobs come out, Papa Job is hereā
What God said reverberated around the heavens, everyone gathered around the scene now. Abraham, David, the angels and the council of elders.
From a distance, the door of a mansion opened, and Jobās family came out running down the street to meet Job where he stood.
Tears streamed down Jobās eyes, as he once again was reunited with his family, God then whispered into his ears the following.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
The heavens were in jubilation as Job once again reunited with his family, the festivities of Jobās arrival was close, the time for feast was near.
God and Jesus watched Job and his family share 1001 kisses, the laughter in the face of the children was un-measurable.
God faced Jesus and told him āThe end of a matter is better than its beginning; a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.ā
āYouāre right, Dad!ā Jesus said.
āYou must start preparing Jesus, your part in this will begin soon.ā God said
They both continued watching and sipping their smoothie.
Far away from where everyone could see, the devil watched the happy reunion and thought to himself.
āBut I asked Godās permission before doing it, how am I the bad guy?ā. He looked away as he sipped from his strawberry smoothie.
