Job 19

Redeemer

Redeemer (Hebrew go'el) — the next of kin who buys back, rescues, and avenges his family

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Job 19:25

In the depth of his suffering Job testifies that his Redeemer lives. That Redeemer is Jesus Christ, who lives, who paid the price to buy us back, and who will stand upon the earth at His Second Coming.

Resurrection

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Job 19:26–27

Job prophesies that even after his body decays he will see God with his own resurrected eyes. Because Christ rose, every person will be resurrected in the flesh and stand before Him.
