Job's Redeemer

Job lived around the time of Abraham.  The book of Job is considered one of the oldest books of the Tenach.  Job went through much testing so he might have a better understanding of who G-d is.  One thing Job was certain of , no matter how bad things got and if he died that Job would see G-d with his own eyes.  In other words Job knew of the resurrection from the dead.
 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see G-d: 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

Job had no doubt of the Redeemer raising him from the dead even if his body was eaten up of worms. G-d would raise him up.
