Stephen Addresses the Council (continuation)
22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren (brothers) the children of Israel.
24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote (struck) the Egyptian:
25 For he supposed his brethren (brothers) would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
26 And the next day he shewed (showed) himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye (you) are brethren (brothers); why do ye (you) wrong one to another?
27 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust (pushed) him away, saying, Who made thee (you) a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Wilt thou (Will you) kill me, as thou diddest (as you did to) the Egyptian yesterday?
29 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian (Midian), where he begat two sons.
30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina (Mount Sinai) an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold (look at) it, the voice of the Lord came unto him,
32 Saying, I am the God of thy (Your) fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold (did not dare to look).
33 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy (your) shoes from thy (your) feet: for the place where thou standest (you stand) is holy ground.
34 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down (and I have come down) to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee (you) into Egypt.
35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee (you) a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed (showed) wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren (brothers), like unto me; him shall ye (you) hear.
38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake (spoke) to him in the mount Sina (Mount Sinai), and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles (divine messages / revelation) to give unto us:
39 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him (we do not know what happened to him).
41 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye (you) house of Israel, have ye (you) offered to me slain beasts (kill animals) and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
43 Yea (Yes), ye (you) took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye (you) made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Prologue
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed (abstained) evil.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified (consecrated) them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Job’s First Test
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
(NOTE: Satan = Lucifer [before he was casted out from heaven] / Devil / Diablo [in Spanish] / Father of Lies / serpent / the enemy / Prince of the Air / Dragon / Beast / Antichrist)
7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou (From where have you come)? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou (Have you) considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth (fears) God, and escheweth (abstains) evil?
9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth (Does) Job fear God for nought (nothing)?
10 Hast not thou (Have you not) made an hedge (fence [of protection]) about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath (has) on every side? thou hast (You have) blessed the work of his hands, and his substance (possessions) is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine (Your) hand now, and touch all that he hath (has), and he will curse thee (You) to thy (Your) face.
12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold (See), all that he hath (has) is in thy (your) power; only upon himself put not forth thine (your) hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses (donkeys) feeding beside them:
15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea (yes), they have slain (killed) the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee (you).
16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath (has) burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee (you).
17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea (yes), and slain (killed) the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee (you).
18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy (Your) sons and thy (your) daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
19 And, behold (see), there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote (struck) the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee (you).
20 Then Job arose, and rent (tore) his mantle (robe), and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither (there): the Lord gave, and the Lord hath (has) taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Job’s Second Test
2 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou (From where have you come)? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou (Have you) considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth (fears) God, and escheweth (abstains from) evil? and still he holdeth (holds) fast his integrity, although thou movedst me (you moved/incited Me) against him, to destroy him without cause.
4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin, yea (yes), all that a man hath (has) will he give for his life.
5 But put forth thine (Your) hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee (You) to thy (Your) face.
6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold (See), he is in thine (your) hand; but save his life.
7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote (struck) Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou (Do you) still retain thine (your) integrity? curse God, and die.
10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest (You speak) as one of the foolish women speaketh (speaks). What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Job’s Three Friends Share His Anguish
11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake (spoke) a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Satan meaning in the Bible
(NOTE: Satan = Lucifer [before he was casted out from heaven] / Devil / Diablo [in Spanish] / Father of Lies / serpent / the enemy / Prince of the Air / Dragon / Beast / Antichrist)
THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH
The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-
VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW
In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach = Messiah (English) / Anointed One
In Hebrew (full name): יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One. NOTE: Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).
In Greek = Christos
In English = Christ = Messiah = Anointed One

WARNING from God Himself: The Word of God warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-
John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / God has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”
Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.
John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
