Job clearly expects to see God after death. And he would see God and not someone else. "He himself would see God, face to face, and he would not be. stranger or enemy to God, as he was then" (Zuck p. 91). "When he sees Him, He will appear as. friend, not as an enemy or stranger" (Strauss p. 191). "My heart faints within me!" So overcome with the thought of seeing God, that Job declares such. thought too wonderful for him. "It is wonderful, but not too wonderful to be possible" (Strauss p. 192). "He was emotionally drained by the very thought of meeting God and having Him once and for all vindicate rather than vitiate his cause" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 742). One thing is absolutely clear, Job knew that he would exist as. conscious person after the death of his body. "In this time of storminess in Job's life, moments like these help us to see why Jehovah's trust in him was justified (Job 1:8; Job 2:3); truly, he is. man of genuine faith" (Jackson p. 52). Do our hearts almost faint with the thought of seeing God?
