Job 1-2

  • Job, from land of Uz, ideal role model: blameless, upright, God fearing person.(1:1) but is he sinless?
  • A very abundant life (v2-3) and loves his family. (v4)
  • Tries to keep the wrath of God by offering sacrifice on behalf of his children. (v5)
  • Satan was under God as well. (v6)
  • God confirms Job's righteousness.(v8)
  • Satan challenges that he is only righteous because of the abundance God has given him. (v10) Is this image a bit like Christ leaving his riches in Heaven for all of us?
  • Satan destroy his properties. Are there any significance in the order of the destroying events and why in sections? Multiple sources to confirm the disaster is true. (v13-19)
  • The first thing he did was not to reason Why or blamed, but came back to God and worshiped, even praised the Lord. (v20-21)
  • Destroyed without reason (2:3)
  • He ensured Job would not be suffering death without cause? (v6)
  • Even wife's faith has been rocked (v8)
  • Still accepts and receives from God everything with trust. (v10)
  • Sympathise and tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven. (v11-12). Is that a sign towards God saying that something is wrong?
