Question from Job 19:26

When you try to read from other versions you will see that Job wants to tell us that even if he was skinned alive! he will still see God.

It is prophetic speaking to the resurrection of the body at the return of Christ when all believers will have their new bodies and be with Christ.

That no matter what we are going thru, even when things seem like they are at their worst if we just learn to lean and trust and believe in God more we shall see the wonders of him love, and experience more healing and life more abundantly.

My response of 2009 or 2010 seems to have been wiped out during the revamping of MyLot. I pointed out that because the word for "this" in the original Hebrew is feminine, whereas that for "skin" is masculine, the rendering in the Authorized ("King James") Version has got to be better than those quoted above, particularly when we ignore most of the words that the translators added in italics, when we are left with (as in John Gill's Commentary and the also-deleted SubtleSubmissive's post quoting it) "And though after my skin they destroy this, yet in my flesh shall I see God" (The word order in the original Hebrew is also more in keeping with this than with, for instance, the NKJV's "though after my skin be destroyed yet this I know" {"I know" is not in the Hebrew at all}). The verse definitely refers to more than just the skin being destroyed. Which supports I'mStanding's application of this verse to the final resurrection of the body.
