and that in the end He will stand upon the earth.

19:25

is this proof job knew Jesus

Answer 1

personally ... lol

God is the redeemer and God has always lived...so... what's next?

Answer 2

Yes, He knew God, and that God was going to send his son Jesus to save all us from sin.  If you read further to 19:26-27.  This is one of the OT's greatest prophetic affirmations of an anticipated Redeemer/Savior who will bring hope of a literal, physical resurrection to redeemed mankind.   Also read 1 Corinthians 15:35-49.

Answer 3

Why isn't that proof that they knew of ghandi, buddha, etc.

Why Jesus?

Answer 4

No.

Job served as an adviser to the Pharaoh who refused to release the Jewish nation from bondage.  This makes him a contemporary of Moses, not of Jezus.

Answer 5

The Jews are waiting, the Messiah they know about is from the First Testament.  Job did know about theLamb

Isaiah 60:16

You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal b*****s. Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Isaiah 60:15-17 (in Context) Isaiah 60 (Whole Chapter)

Isaiah 63:16

But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.

Answer 6

Knew him in the way many of the prophets knew He would one day come and redeem everyone - yes.

And notice the prophecy it agrees with from Ezekiel and Isaiah, and Matthew, though it was written thousands of years earlier.
