LIVE DISCUSSION: Introduction to Job (Part 4 of 4)

Send us a text

What if the most misunderstood book about pain is actually a guide to hope? We dive into Job with fresh eyes, tracing clear lines to Jesus: a righteous sufferer who intercedes, endures mockery, and trusts the Father when the why remains hidden. Along the way, we confront a hard truth—true statements can become false counsel when they’re applied without love or context. Job’s friends meant well, spoke confidently, and still missed God’s heart. That’s our warning to lead with humility, restore gently, and examine ourselves before we correct anyone else.

Together, we explore Job’s mediatorial role and how it foreshadows Christ’s mission. Job sacrifices for his family and later prays for the very friends who accused him; Jesus stands between God and us, bearing sin and giving righteousness. We also consider Satan’s testing by God’s permission—Job’s cascade of losses and Jesus’ wilderness temptations—and what endurance looks like when answers don’t come quickly. The theme of restoration rises throughout: Job’s latter blessing points beyond quick fixes to resurrection hope, the promise that God makes all things new and will wipe every tear. That future reshapes the present, teaching us to suffer well without bitterness and to hold firm when counsel turns sharp.

You’ll hear lived wisdom from the community—testimonies of grief, healing, and the quiet ways God showed up. We close in prayer for physical pain, heavy hearts, and a patient, attentive study through all 42 chapters. If you’ve ever been wounded by misapplied truth or left asking why a good God allows deep loss, this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and a path forward: speak gently, endure faithfully, hope boldly.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find it. Your thoughts matter—what part of Job’s story strengthens you most today?

BE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

SPEAKER_00:

Seated to the right hand of the Father.

SPEAKER_09:

Excellent. That's one I did not expect.

SPEAKER_00:

Thank you for asking it. I know oh my gosh, I'm so happy.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, so that that's that's a really uh an excellent um um extrapolation. Um the intercessory part of Job Um and the fact that that God is the one who appointed Job to intercede on the behalf of those others. So that's a Hannah sister, that's a that's that's an excellent, excellent, excellent one. God's word. How do you see Job as a type of Christ?

SPEAKER_07:

How about when Job's enemies mocked and persecuted, mimicked the passion as they mocked and spit on Christ during the passion? That's a prime example there as well.

SPEAKER_09:

You mean you're talking about what he took, what he endured from his friends?

SPEAKER_07:

Yes.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, great one. Yeah, absolutely. The mockery, the scorn, um, the uh the ridicule, you know, and and something else in that in that vein, they were they were like speaking. See, here's the thing. They were also speaking like God's representative. They were speaking for God to they they believed they were speaking for God to Job. And they were totally wrong. And so this is what this is why we have to be careful when we are issuing rebuffs and rebukes and retorts to those who speak against us or who are going through things, because we we could be saying something to somebody going, you know what, you're having this problem because your your life's not right with God. And your life might be perfectly right with God, as Job's was. And so we need to be we really need to be careful about that because those guys, they because we're gonna see that all four of his friends, these miserable comforters as they have been called, we're gonna see that what they said, everything they said to Job was true, just not true in Job's case. In other words, they said truths that they applied wrong, and to and they applied to the wrong person. And so they didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. We know what was going on behind the scenes, so we know that everything they said about Job's situation, they were wrong. And so we need to be careful that we're not overstepping our boundaries and speaking for God when it comes to correcting someone else. It's a challenge for us. Because we like to call, people like themselves like to say, Well, I have the spirit of discernment. And that becomes their excuse for being able to say whatever they want to say to somebody else. When in fact, you might you just simply might not know. You may have it completely wrong, or you may be saying true things to the wrong person or in the wrong context, the wrong setting. And so that is what it would be good for us to be able to discern. And this is what Paul talked about in Galatians when he was talking about making sure that when you correct somebody who's overtaking an assault, as we all might remember, we just talked about this, that we need to examine our ourselves first before we start dealing with this person who is overtaking an of fault to make sure that we are not coming from the wrong place. So that was a that's that's another uh good one. Um, Sister Candy, go ahead.

SPEAKER_05:

You know, I go back to the first chapter, and I think there's a lot in just in that first chapter that kind of coincides with singing Jesus, where he says, uh where the sisters and he invites the sisters to eat and drink with him. I'm saying kind of like the supper where he asked him, okay. Of course, it was upright and blameless. So he was perfect in the sight of God. Um where he says where he prays for his sons for what they may have done by cursing God in their hearts daily. So what does Jesus do for us? You know what I'm saying? And then I go back to the eating part. Well, Jesus has to ask for us to come and eat and drink with him, right? And then not to mention that he's willing to lay his life down, trusting in God without even knowing why, but he's just willing to trust him and lose his life for him. Right. Without a without a cause or a purpose. And that that's just kind of quickly because I gotta I'm training it out, so it's kind of that's all right, sister.

SPEAKER_09:

Don't worry about it. You can make it you make it. That's all right, don't worry about it. Brother Jeff, man of God.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, everybody's pretty much covered it. Uh, but you know, the thing is, uh basically I had a thought, uh, but you know, you know what it is. It's these seven decades. Um give me a second. Um well I I guess what it is to me is that you know that while he suffered, he still looked to the father. He still looked to God, and that's a type of Christ. I mean, you know, when you read out through Job, yeah, he might have been frustrated at times and not always seemingly patient, but he never lost that that trust from from the father. Never and uh in that way he is a type of Christ, right?

SPEAKER_09:

He absolutely is, Sister Lisa.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, wow. Um, I think I was gonna say, like Jeff, everybody kind of covered it. Um, but I was thinking, um, we know that Job was considered blameless, and and God, one of God's main priorities throughout scripture is taking care of widows and orphans and people in general. And Job was one who had actually upheld that. Like you said, you said it was part of his ministry, and yet God, like Jesus, allowed him to go through that suffering and all for his glory, you know, the glory of God. So um, yeah, I think I don't I don't think that was adding, I think it was just basically saying what everybody else said again.

SPEAKER_09:

Um, so it was did I get did I miss anybody? Uh oh no, Meg, go ahead. You were gonna say something.

SPEAKER_10:

I just got one more, I just got sure. So Job's restoration is Christ's resurrection. Now, Job's story does not end in death but in renewal. So the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginnings, and just like on the cross, Christ's cross leads to resurrection glory. So restoration foreshadows the new creation where all loss is reversed in Christ. I'm gonna show you. We're just gonna read it real quick. It's Revelation chapter 21, verse 4 and 5. It says, And God shall wipe away all their tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write, for these words are true and faithful.

SPEAKER_09:

Yep. So, you know, and so everybody, everybody here, uh Jeffrey, go ahead, man. Uh, encourage and servant. Go ahead, brother.

SPEAKER_06:

No, Jonathan, I just had a thought a little while ago that Job's friends were to Job the same as the Pharisees were to Jesus.

SPEAKER_08:

Yep.

SPEAKER_06:

They came and they falsely accused him. And Job had to deal with that while he was also dealing with this incredible amount of grief and sadness. Right. He was dealing with. Don't you imagine that he probably, maybe once or twice anyway, thought to himself, well, maybe I have done something and I just wasn't aware of it. Right. You know, he and so Job had to be thinking, well, maybe there was some sin. I I committed, I overlooked. But anyway, his friends didn't help the situation, is all I'm saying. They were like the Pharisees to Jesus. Right, they were. They were.

SPEAKER_09:

Um Brother Jeff, man of God, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03:

I just wanted to give God praise for a second because you know there are books in the Old Testament that clearly God put in there for us for a particular reason. I mean, Job is the consummate book of telling us how to endure under suffering.

SPEAKER_08:

Right.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh Ecclesiastes tells us that everything in life is meaningless without God. Right. Uh Ruth even tells us the faith of a of a non-believer uh can can shame the the children of Israel. Uh Esther tells us that you know God is faithful even in the midst of of what seems to be an insurmountable problem. Right. I mean, the these special books that are in there are just I mean, I just praised him for it because you just see it say, boy, you really knew what you were doing, God. And like he needs my affirmation, but still, uh, he's just brilliant.

SPEAKER_09:

Right. He is, man. And that's the beauty of the of the word of God altogether. I mean, it's just, it's just, it, you know, you look at you read this book, all of it, and you there's no way that you cannot walk away from this thinking that there's something special about it, that this is something that men could not write. You there's just no way you could come to that conclusion and be sane. Um, God's word. Go ahead, brother. You're gonna say something.

SPEAKER_07:

Both were also tested by Satan at God's permission as well. If you think about it, Job was oppressed by Satan with all the afflictions that he received. Right. And then during the fasting of Christ in the desert, Satan also tested Christ as well there. Good one. Good one.

SPEAKER_09:

I didn't think about that one either. Good one. Yeah, that's that's a that's a big one. He got he got he got that those temptations, and he, you know, had to endure those kind of things, and he overcame them. And so that's another good one. And the other thing that I wanted to add to it, um, because I think what everybody said, I mean, we got we really got a uh a comprehensive list, and I I wanted to go through this exercise so that all of us, when we start going through the book, what I'm hoping happens is that people are look going as we go through it, they're gonna say, oh, see, now I see that here. I see this thing here, I see the faithfulness here, the endurance here, the submission here, and on and on. Because when once you have, once you have this sort of mental outline, when you approach the word of God, then it becomes, it it just becomes more, um, it penetrates the heart more, and and and you start to see the glory of God and all these things. But the other thing that I saw in this too, and I think somebody may have mentioned it, but somebody says something about the mediatorial, the mediatorial aspect of it. And and and I see that part of Christ in Job as well, because the the first chapter opens with with um Job offering up sacrifices and offerings for his kids. If you remember this, he was he was making sacrifices to God on behalf of himself and his and his family before any such thing had ever been instituted. There's a lot there. And uh you know, and and so that's an important thing because he had an understanding, some kind of understanding that goes back as far as the garden, but he had this understanding. And then Hannah just said it, and he did it again at the end. Because when he when God breaks in again, uh after he gets through dealing with Job, he deals with the friends and he tells them you need to go uh bring some some burnt offerings and bring them to Job so that he can bless you. So you see this, you see this Job standing in the gap as a mediator, offering sacrifices unto God on behalf of men. And this is what Christ's whole mission was to come down here to earth as a mediator to take our sin upon him and to impart his righteousness to those of whom he whose sin he took upon himself. And he raised again from the grave for their justification and ultimate uh glorification. And Job had all that he had restored to him in double, and he re he got he had seven sons, and we'll deal with this later. He had seven sons, and he had um three daughters that had died, but he didn't double them. But he but they but but God did double them, but not in the human sense, not in the earthly sense, because he gave Job another seven sons and another three daughters, and the reason why he only gave them another seven and not fourteen and another three daughters and not six more, is because the first seven sons and the first three daughters were still alive. And that's what we're gonna deal with about that resurrection part when we get to chapter 19 and also at the end of the book. Because those those children, even though they died in the flesh, sacrifices had been made to God on their behalf, and it is evident in this book that those sacrifices on their behalf were acceptable to God. And so there's so much that we're gonna learn here in this book, and I'm just looking forward to everybody's sort of input as I always get. I'm blessed to have with all of you. And uh, and feel free to get ahead starting the book. But we're gonna get started into we're gonna get started with it right away, hopefully starting tomorrow. But at this point, I'm gonna go ahead and close to give everybody the last words before we leave because time for me to lay back down again. My back is killing me.

SPEAKER_02:

But um It's not killing you, don't say that.

SPEAKER_09:

Okay, not killing me.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, it's not. It hurts. And we'll we'll pray for your back before we leave.

SPEAKER_09:

Yeah, yeah. So, but anyway, um, so I'll give everybody their last word before we check out. No sermons. And then uh and I hope hopefully we get to redo resume it all tomorrow, starting with chapter one. So that I'll start with Sister Candy because I know she's out there working somewhere, so I'll get her out of the way. Sister Candy, go ahead. Last word.

SPEAKER_05:

Just gonna say a lot of this uh nobody really knows until they experience themselves, which is why our testimonies can mean so much sometimes for people to understand. But um I'm I'm looking forward to to this. Um, seeing a few house fires and losing everything and then going through some physical physicalities growing up and stuff, again, those things do bring us closer to God. And then it also shows us where he was there when we didn't realize it, when we see where he was protecting us, just as he did with Job.

SPEAKER_08:

Yep.

SPEAKER_05:

And then the closer we get to him and we live by that faith of knowing that he's there. And then once we get to where, like Job, willing to just give our lives for standing in his truth and faith in him, no matter what the circumstances.

SPEAKER_09:

Amen, sister. Good night, everybody. Good night, sister. Appreciate that. Brother Jeff, encourage and serving. Go ahead. Last word, brother.

SPEAKER_06:

Well, uh, Jonathan, I think this is gonna be an excellent study. I I think we all need to pray that uh we our hearts and minds would be ready to receive uh the lessons and the truth uh about the book that we've got to dive into. Being 42 chapters, this is probably gonna take us a while, Jonathan, to get through it. But you know what? That's okay. There's a lot here, like you said earlier tonight, there's a lot here to digest and to understand. So uh everybody be patient, but also be ready. Go out and buy yourself a new big thick notebook and a couple of nice new ink pens because we're probably gonna take a whole bunch of notes, write stuff down, and we'll fill it all up. So highlight the whole Bible. All right, good night, everybody. Love you all. It's good to be back. Jonathan, take care of that back and get well, okay? Thank you. Appreciate that.

SPEAKER_09:

Brother Jeff, man of God. Go ahead. Last word, brother.

SPEAKER_03:

Sorry, I was answering Kelly. Um the uh all I gotta say, all I gotta say is this with uh you know I already think about, you know, everybody's thinking about Christmas. And when I think about Christmas, I think about the birth of our Lord. I don't think about Santa Claus or anything. Oh nonsense. Uh I want to say glory to God in the highest and peace on earth, goodwill toward men and women. Amen. Good night, everybody. I love y'all. Good night, brother. Sister Meg, last word.

SPEAKER_02:

My last words are gonna be for you because I want to pray for you.

SPEAKER_09:

All right, how about we come to you last then and come back to that?

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, okay, that's fine.

SPEAKER_09:

All right, perfect. Sister Hannah, last word.

SPEAKER_00:

Um, no, it's a long book, but I feel like it's so timely. Um, because we all go through pain and suffering and trials, and it could be so is disencouraging a word. What is it? Uh yeah, it just brings you down when you have people kind of telling you, well, you must be doing something wrong, you know. Oh, well, you need to do this, you need to do that, you need to do this and that. And I'm actually staring at this verse right here. Just open my Bible, and it says, Therefore, be imitators of God as beloved children and walk in love as Christ loved us. So sometimes all we have to do is just give that person love and say, I don't know, but oh, I wrote it down actually. Whatever God is doing, He is doing it for our good, He knows what He intends to do. And and I'm that's my takeaway for tonight. And then I pulled up Psalm 142 because I was reading that today, so I just want to read the last verse on there. Bring me out of prison that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me. And that psalm has been bringing me comfort. So if anyone in here is kind of going through it, um hold on to Psalm 142. There's plenty other good stuff to hold on to, but for me.

SPEAKER_08:

Good. Well, sister, and I'm gonna I'm gonna follow up with you later tonight or tomorrow morning.

SPEAKER_00:

This is already helping. The timing, it's amazing. I I feel equipped already.

SPEAKER_09:

So you know what I'm talking about, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, and something I didn't realize is like, yeah, this is a great book, and um God commands um Job to pray for them, be my servant and pray for them. And so I gotta I gotta forgive quicker and and pray for them because they need forgiveness. Um, they sin more when they accuse us than what possibly we could be doing wrong.

SPEAKER_09:

Right, absolutely, absolutely. But yeah, you be encouraged, sister, and I hope this book is is proves to be a good blessing to you as it should be to all of us. Um, but as I said, I'm gonna write, I'm gonna check with check in with you, I'm gonna DM you tonight or tomorrow morning.

SPEAKER_08:

Appreciate that. Thanks.

SPEAKER_09:

All right, brother Michael, last words.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh uh like May, I was just want to say uh grateful that you guys made it home safely and everything continue prayers for peace and uh condolences and so forth. Uh very grateful that your wife got to see her grandmother uh before she passed and everything.

SPEAKER_09:

So yeah, that was it was it was really good, man. I appreciate everybody and the kind words you that you gave because it's you know it's one of the kind of things where like you know, especially her father, because I was her father's mother, and they were pretty close, and they're a pretty close family, you know, you know, in anyway, big family and they're pretty close. And so you really kind of hurt for them, you know, for the people, you know what I mean? There's really, you know, because there's gonna be a vacuum there, um the uh an empty space that's created, but then you know the hope is always that you know uh they go to be with the Lord and and you know you know, and that He's that they're with Him. So it was it was it was it was a really, really good time. So we had a really good time together, and and the funeral was was different in a good way, uh one I got never experienced before before. So it was really it was really good. So I really enjoyed the time there and it was a blessing. So thank you for that, Michael. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_01:

And on this, uh just simple let's suffer well. Suffer well a lot of the scripture that we're gonna be reading, remember who the God is that we live for and his promises.

SPEAKER_09:

Amen, brother. Thank you so much so much for that. God's word, go ahead, brother. Your last word.

unknown:

My last word.

SPEAKER_07:

All we do is endure to the end, no matter how dark things seem to get. Submit to God's will, whether good or bad, and always remember that the darkest tower of the dawn, the surprises and the restoration of all things new through. That's my last word.

SPEAKER_09:

Brother, God's word, while you're there, brother, I want to tell you something. Because I know I told you in a text message a while ago, uh, about a week or so ago, but I want to thank you, man, for being such a good brother and a good blessing, especially to one of my sisters that listens to you every day. You know what I'm talking about. And uh, I mean, she she she she was just had glorious things to say about you, and you had been really been tremendous in her because she can't um read as intently as she'd like to, so she listens to you read every day. So thank you for that.

SPEAKER_07:

I try to do my best, brother.

SPEAKER_09:

That's how I try to do it. Well, I want you to know that it's it's not it's not going on notice, and and and you are a blessing soul, so keep doing what you're doing. Thank you. Sister Lisa, last word for you.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I just have a couple of short things to say for you, sir. I I wish you would try an inversion table for your back.

SPEAKER_08:

I know I gotta do I gotta get one of those.

SPEAKER_04:

I I mean it cannot, I mean, well, I mean, consult somebody to see, but um, I'm hearing those are so good. Second, this book, Job, um, it reminds me that I need to trust in the sovereignty of the Lord and remember who I am in him, who he who he is. He, you know, sometimes we let, even though I know God is sovereign, I want to give credit to the enemy a lot of times for causing this or doing that. And I need to be reminded, and this is a great reminder, that God is sovereign in all things. And who can I fear? Who shall I fear? I belong to him, and whatever I go through, he is well aware, he is in control, and I trust him. And I just have to keep doing that. So um this is a blessing, this book. And I just was thinking about the first time I read this book to now. I've read it a few times now, but just the first time I read it, I thought, oh my goodness, I just, you know, as a new believer, it's this one's hard to take the first time you read it. Um it is, it is, and it really is. And now I I just see the goodness of God. I've seen his goodness in my own life. And so, yeah, it's it's it's amazing the transformation that he does in us. It's just more proof that the work begins, he finishes it, he starts it and finishes it. So, yeah.

SPEAKER_09:

You know what? It's it's like it's like this, sister, and everybody here, all of the brethren here listening, but it's like this. This this book is the answer. Understanding this book is the answer to all those people who would ask you, why do you believe in a God who lets this happen and lets this happen and lets this happen? All these things, these tragedies, these things happening to kids, these things happening to this, and these wars and whatever. This is a good book to understand why. To understand the behind the scenes. This book is a big answer to though to that question that so many people always ask. How can you believe in a God who lets all this stuff happen? Well, when you read this book, you should come away understanding clearly why.

SPEAKER_04:

Amen. It's beautiful.

SPEAKER_09:

Yep, absolutely. So, Sister May, go ahead and close this out. Your last word and in the closeout prayer, if you if you would.

SPEAKER_10:

Oh, well, it's just gonna be prayer. Okay, all right. Yep, so if if everybody could please just bow your heads and come into agreement, and we're just gonna pray over us, brother Jonathan and Roxanne, and getting into this book of Job. This is what we're gonna be praying over. So, dear Heavenly Father, you are the Lord who heals all our diseases and carries all of our burdens. You formed, you formed our body with your hands, and you know every muscle and every bone and every nerve. Heavenly Father, I bring Jonathan before you now, humbly asking your healing touch upon his back, Lord God. Lord, you said in your word that by the stripes of Jesus that we are healed, and I ask you to bring relief for every area of tension and inflammation and pain. Let your peace flow through his body, restoring alignment, strength, and comfort. Give Brother Jonathan patience as he recovers and wisdom to care for the body that you have given him. Remove his fear and frustration and fill him with the assurance that you are working all things together for good. As you healed the lame, Lord, and the blind and the sick, I ask that you restore him according to your will, that he may rise and move and serve you with a whole heart and a whole body. Lord Jesus, I place his pain and healing in your hands, strengthen his faith and help him to be restored and rest in your love and in your timing. I thank you for his your mercy, Lord, and your comfort and your restoring power. And Lord, I thank you that as we get into the book of Job, I ask that you open our eyes and our hearts and our minds to the truth that are hidden within these pages, Lord God. Lord, help us to understand the depth of suffering, the mystery of your sovereignty and the steadfastness of your faith, teaching us through Job's life how to trust you, even when circumstances are confusing or painful at times. Lord, give us wisdom to see the parallels between Job's story and the ultimate redemption through your son. May we not only gain knowledge but also be transformed, learning patience and humility and reliance on your perfect will. Holy Spirit, guard our thoughts, illuminate our understanding, and help us discern the lessons you have for our life today. Let this study lead us closer to you, deepen our faith, and strengthen our hope in your eternal goodness. We commit this study into your hands, Father, asking that your truth dwell richly within us and that we walk in your ways and understanding and peace. And Lord God, we also just pray for Roxanne, Heavenly Father, and ask that you just continue to supply her with the peace that surpasses all understanding and letting her know that the joy of the Lord is her strength during this time. Help her mind to remember all the good memories, Lord, that will keep her heart full and enjoy always and forever. And Lord, give her patience, Heavenly Father, as in times where she's sad or she may grieve, Lord, and let her know that your steadfast hand and her trust in you, Father, is what will keep her going day after day. Lord, I thank you for all our brothers and sisters in this life, Lord, and I ask that you just continue to watch over us, protect us, allow us to continue to love your people, Lord God, like never before, and lead those in Christ Jesus to the gospel of their salvation. For we know, Lord, there is only one. I thank you and I glorify you, Heavenly Father, and all things I pray. Amen.

SPEAKER_09:

Amen. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sister Megan. Appreciate you. Appreciate you and appreciate all of you. And um And believe me, also, because the thing, the thing that's bad for my back is that the more infirm I become, the more my wife has to do. So that's a very encouraging prayer for her.

SPEAKER_03:

Jonathan? Yes, sir. You may need to go see my son in Atlanta. In Atlanta? Yeah, Dr. Addison II.

unknown:

Dr.

SPEAKER_03:

Addison? No, my son, Jason Addison, is a chiropractor in Kennesaw, Georgia. And he doesn't just do manipulation. You can get that done in Mississippi. He actually does things with uh high frequency uh stimulation for pain.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And uh you need to talk to me about that sometime. Call me. We may need to get you in there with all the problems you keep having. I'll give you, I'll give you a call tomorrow. Yeah, and I know Leisha, an inversion table will help, but the thing is, my my daughter-in-law has a congenital disease and she was on opioids for pain. And with this therapy that he has, she takes nothing now. Wow. Not anything. Anyway, yeah, what he's got, only a few people in this country do. Uh someday he's gonna be rich and famous, I hope. And uh I'll probably be in heaven and I'll be richer and not as famous, but uh but I'll be richer anyway.

SPEAKER_09:

God bless you all. All right, God bless you all, everybody, and be provoked and be persuaded. God bless you all. Get on, we'll get on it tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02:
