The Honey Is Flowing: The Daughters Are Receiving Their Inheritance

The revelations of the coming restoration flowing from Heaven keep coming! Hallelujah!

I recently started reading the Bible chronologically, and today, as I was reading Job 42, the chapter that speaks about Job’s restoration, the Lord highlighted something very important to me.

Job was restored only after he prayed for his friends and released them. The Lord told Job’s friends that He was angry with them because they had not spoken rightly about Him, and they had also spoken wrongly about Job. They had misrepresented God’s heart and unjustly accused Job in the middle of his suffering.

So the Lord instructed them to go to Job and offer sacrifices. Then Job would pray for them, and God would accept Job’s prayer of intercession on their behalf. Only after Job prayed for his friends did the Lord begin to restore what he had lost.

Before the Lord began to restore, there needed to be reconciliation. That is exactly what Matthew 5 says:

“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.”

If we are holding on to unforgiveness, our prayers can be hindered. So before Job could intercede, his friends needed to repent, offer a sacrifice, and Job needed to forgive and release them so his prayers could be heard.

I believe that before some of us can fully receive restoration and recompense, there needs to be a letting go of offenses, bitterness, unforgiveness, and resentment.

Eliphaz had received a message in the night in Job 4, and he believed it was from God. But when we read the tone of that message, it sounds much more like the accuser of the brethren than the heart of the Father. I believe he was deceived by Satan and based his accusations against Job on that experience.

This was a serious sin because Job was not only wrongly judged, but God Himself was misrepresented.

Job knew better, and he rejected their accusations. But that does not mean their words did not hurt him. It does not mean there was no pain, resentment, or bitterness that could have taken root in his heart.

So before God restored Job’s losses, He first dealt with the broken relationship. Job’s friends had to repent, offer a sacrifice, and then Job had to pray for them. Only after that did the Lord begin to restore Job.

This is so important because sometimes, before restoration comes, God deals with what is still in the heart. He deals with offense, bitterness, resentment, and the places where pain has tried to stay, because He is preparing us to receive the fullness of what He wants to restore.

Another very powerful detail that stood out to me in Job 42, which is what this word is mostly about, is that after Job’s restoration, Scripture mentions his three daughters by name, but not his sons.

That is not a small detail. In a time when women were often overlooked and daughters were not usually given inheritance like sons, the Bible intentionally names Job’s daughters.

Their names become a prophetic picture of what God did in Job’s life, and I believe also of what He is doing for His daughters today.

The first daughter was named Yemimah, which sounds like the Hebrew word for dove. In Scripture, the dove often represents peace, purity, and the gentle presence of the Holy Spirit. We see the dove with Noah as a sign that the waters were receding and a new beginning was coming. We also see the Spirit descending like a dove upon Jesus. Yemimah speaks of peace after suffering, comfort after hardship, and the presence of the Holy Spirit after a long and painful season.

After everything Job went through, the first named daughter carries the picture of peace.

The second daughter was named Keziah, which comes from cassia, a fragrant spice related to cinnamon. Cassia was used in royal garments and in the holy anointing oil. It represents fragrance, worship, consecration, royalty, and anointing. This is so powerful because Job had gone through a season of affliction, loss, grief, and shame, but now one of his daughters carries a name connected to fragrance. Keziah is a picture of God turning the bitterness of suffering into the fragrance of restoration. What was painful became worship. What was crushed released a beautiful aroma. What looked like ashes became beauty.

The third daughter was named Keren-happuch, which means “horn of cosmetic” or “horn of beauty.” It refers to a container used for beautifying the eyes. Her name speaks of beauty, dignity, refinement, and restored honor. Job had suffered greatly in his body, his reputation, his family, and his life. He had sat in ashes, covered in pain and grief. But now, at the end of his story, one of his daughters carries a name connected to beauty and adornment.

This is God restoring dignity after shame and beauty after ashes.

And then Scripture says that Job gave his daughters an inheritance among their brothers. That was not common in that time. In a patriarchal culture, daughters were not usually honored in that way. But Job names them, honors them, and gives them an inheritance. I believe this is a beautiful picture of the heart of God.

The Lord is not only bringing restoration, recompense, and sweetness after bitterness. He is also restoring dignity and inheritance to His daughters.

Women have been overlooked, criticized, judged, silenced, and dismissed simply because they are women. Throughout history, women have suffered cruelty, injustice, subjugation, and dishonor.

Even today, in many places, women are treated as less than what God created them to be. But I believe the Lord is reaffirming His daughters. He is raising them up. He is restoring their dignity, their voice, their inheritance, and their place.

Yemimah speaks of peace and the presence of the Spirit. Keziah speaks of fragrance, worship, and anointing. Keren-happuch speaks of beauty, dignity, and restored honor.

Together, these daughters become a prophetic picture of what God did for Job after suffering. He restored peace. He restored fragrance. He restored beauty. He restored inheritance. And I believe He is doing the same for His daughters today.

This connects so deeply to the honey dream because honey speaks of sweetness after bitterness, nourishment after lack, and abundance after a long season of lack.

God is restoring what was lost. He is turning bitterness into sweetness. He is restoring what the enemy tried to rob from His daughters: dignity, identity, position, voice, beauty, and inheritance.

So rise up from the ashes, daughters of God. Be drenched in the restorative, overabundant overflow of the love of your Heavenly Father. Your name is known. Your value is seen. Your inheritance is being restored.

The honey is flowing.

And this time, the daughters are receiving their inheritance too.

With so much love for my sisters,
