Job's Glorious Hope

Despite previous negativity in his talk of death even to the point where it sounded like Job might have believed that there was no afterlife, today we see in his words refreshed faith and glorious hope: "I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes--I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!" Job knows that through redemption by God he will in the end, after death, be resurrected to stand before God in his own body, his own skin, to see God with his own eyes. Thinking of it--Job's heart isn't the only one yearning!
