Oops of the Day

Job had a disease with many boils on his skin.

Job 2:7,8,12  –  Job 7:4,5  -Job 17:1 – Job 19:17-20  –  Job 30:17,18, 27-30

Fact of the Day 

No!  Read about this disease in medical pages and compare it with the scriptures where he describes his disease (see above).  Job’s disease was a form of leprosy called elephantiasis, a marked and strongly developed form of leprosy. This disease creates an intense heat, a burning and ulcerous swelling. It is leprosy in its most terrible form, taking its name from the appearance of the body, which is covered with a knotty, cancerous bark like the hide of an elephant.  He was so deformed by his disease, his friends didn’t recognize him.
