"Even after my skin is destroyed,This seems odd. Job is saying that he will see God in his flesh, after his skin (that is, his flesh) is destroyed. How is this possible? What is he saying here? How does one physically see God, who is not physical, after one's physical body has been destroyed?
Yet from my flesh I shall see God;
I'm guessing for all this, but I have a couple ideas. First, this may be figurative. Though he dies, he will live on and see God. Second, it's referring to God's eventual reunion with His people. He will see God again at the second coming, and all believers shall see Him in new bodies. Third, it could be that he means that even if he loses his skin, he will live on, and see God when He comes.
