James 5:1-20 
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 

"the Lord of sabaoth" 
"sabaoth" 
4519 sabaoth (sab-ah-owth'); 
of Hebrew origin [6635 in feminine plural]; armies; sabaoth (i.e. tsebaoth), a military epithet of God: 
KJV-- sabaoth. 

4519 sabaoth- 
"Lord of Sabaoth"; 
Lord of the armies of Israel, as those who are under the leadership and protection of Jehovah maintain his cause in war 

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. 

FATHER speaks to us about those who look to anything and everything except HIM. 
This speaks of those who look to their ill-gotten riches to save them, and who have "condemned and killed the just". 

But, the 'riches' that are everlasting are only through The LORD. 
And, those 'riches' are the inheritance of YHVH'S KINGDOM. 
This time in the flesh is but a moment. These may have killed the flesh bodies of YHVH'S just ones, but they can not kill their soul and spirit. 

James 5: 
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 

Be patient, YAHSHUA shall return. 
Be patient, for many of the seeds of HIS Truth, which HIS goodly servants have sown among others in the earth, shall sprout forth at the "early" rain and mature in the "latter rain". 
This "rain" speaks of YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT which causes HIS Truth to take root and then mature in the minds/spirits of those who have received the beginnings of HIS Truth. 

James 5: 
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 

To "stablish your hearts" is to say, 'set and strengthen your hearts/minds/spirits with HIS Truth.' 
Again, HE tells us to "Be ye also patient", which is to say, 'don't waiver, don't lose heart, but be longsuffering'. 

James 5: 
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 

Do not murmur against your fellowservants or your brethren. 

Luke 6:37-38 
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (KJV) 

Who is the "the judge" Who "standeth before the door" ready to return? 
YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 

James 5: 
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 

FATHER sent HIS HOLY SPIRIT inspired teachers/prophets into the world to be an example/ensample to us. 
These "prophets" were written in HIS WORD, The Bible. 
Have you read with understanding that which FATHER had them show us? 
There is no new thing under the sun..... 
And, these have shown us examples of "suffering affliction" and "patience". 

James 5: 
11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 

"Behold, we count them happy which endure." 

Those, who can bear up under the pressure and tribulations, are called 'blessed'. 

"Ye have heard of the patience of Job" 
We have read of the tribulation and pressure that was brought upon Job. 
Not only did he lose all that was dear to him, but also had to live through the misguided ramblings against him by his so-called 'friends / brethren'. 
And, he endured much at the mouth of the one who was maliciously evil towards him, in his attempt at pulling Job from Our FATHER, YHVH. 
Yet, he patiently endured and was rewarded with more than he had lost. 

"and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy." 
We have read of the crucifixion of CHRIST, and HIS compassion for us, even at the final moments of HIS life in the flesh. Until the very moment HIS body released HIS Soul/Spirit, HE continued  to teach us. 

James 5: 
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. 

The LORD has made an everlasting covenant with us, therefore we are not to make any other. 

James 5: 
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 

James 5: 
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 

After Elijah had prayed unto YHVH, a period of 3 1/2 years with no "rain" was upon the earth. 

18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. 

And, after this period of 3 1/2 years, he prayed again, and FATHER sent forth the rain that caused the fruits to be brought forth. 

James 5: 
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. (KJV) 

If any of us were to stray or waiver momentarily from YHVH'S Truth, and another turn you back to YHVH'S straight path, let that one know that he  / she has spiritually saved you from death (Satan). 
And, this shall make up for a multitude of offences.
