Day 272..."My Redeemer lives...scarecrows and idols....Paul gives a history lesson"

Out of all the despair...Job proclaims..."I know my redeemer lives." He would say this prior to more analysis by a friend. Jeremiah sounds like he is in South Alabama where I grew up. He refers to scarecrows in a cucumber field. (idols are about of the same worth he says) Paul retells history.
Abraham and Isaac have offspring more numerous than grains of sand. The small remnant survives...is the Church to rebuild the number? Paul speaks of children of promise, as through the connection of faith, and not in the way of ancestors. This chapter resembles Hebrews chapter 11.
