Some of us may have studied the book of Job for many years and still not know the meaning of the name Job. Some person out there may even be interested to know the meaning of that name. If you are interested in knowing the meaning of the name, feel the CALL, or just enjoy studying the word of God, then this blog is written for you.
According to the Hebrew Lexicon in Strong Numbers 347 and 3102, the name “Job” means Hated and/or Persecuted.
The Bible says, “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you (JOHN 15:18-19).”
"Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows" (Luke 12:7).
LUKE 12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: LUKE 12:9 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. LUKE 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the *Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. LUKE 12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: LUKE 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say (LUKE 12:7-12).
Job was a good person. Job loved and respected God even when Job was sick and in great despair. Job loved and respected God and showed his love for others; even when Job was being treated hatefully by family and friends, even while he was suffering a great despair from being hated by them, and even while being falsely accused by the Ministers of the Church who had evil intentions toward him, Job stayed faithful to God, he did not blame or curse God even when his wife advised him to do just that, even telling Job to die. But, Job did not even desire evil for those persecuting him. So, Job continued to love and respect God, and he prayed for his family, prayed his friends and prayed for all others who hated and abused him.
JOB 42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:
JOHN 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
*I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." (Matthew 28:20)

No, I'm not a Preacher or a Sunday school teacher. I am just a person who enjoys studying the Bible and wanted to share my study with you. No, I know it is none of my business whether you go to Church or not. I do not base friendship on a person's religion; I like good people, poor or not. I also think there are Christians, regardless of denomination, in all the Christian Churches. I'm a person who enjoys the outdoors: gardening, taking long slow walks at places such as zoos; sports such as hunting and fishing, football, track and field; all sorts of good music; I enjoy watching high school and college bands perform; and I like to watch old movies and old TV shows such as "Andy Griffin", Sergeant York, etc...
