Job clearly expressed his understanding of how, despite his body being eaten by worms in the grave, he would, in a bodily form, receive his reward: "My redeemer liveth, and...shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body ("after my skin is destroyed", R.A.V.), yet in my flesh (or bodily form) shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: though my reins be consumed within me" (Job 19:25-27).
Ni dhahiri Ayubu alieleza fahamu zake jinsi, mbali ya mwili wake kuliwa na funza kaburini kwa umbo la mwili atapokea thawabu yake: "mteteaji (Mkombozi) wangu yu hai ….. hatimae atasimama juu ya nchi na baada ya ngozi yangu kuharibiwa hivi lakini pasipo kuwa na mwili wangu nitamwona Mungu (nitamwona Mungu kwa macho yangu mwenyewe au katika mwili huu -B.H.N) nami nitamwona mimi nafsi yangu, na macho yangu yatamtazama, wala si mwingine, Ingawa mtima wangu unazimia ndani yangu" (Ayu.19:25 -27).
