The Living Redeemer and Bodily Resurrection
Job confesses that his Redeemer lives and expresses hope that beyond death he will see God for himself.
Job 19:25–27
25For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
26And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.
