How did Job trigger the event when they happened before that?
i take that God is able to speak truthfully when He calls job perfect and upright. He then after all the chapters concludes Job still remained right in what He said. because He spoke of things He did not understand, which is what He learned from the testing and His loss after Gods Last reprove to him. His repentance isnt because He sinned, its because he spoke of something He didnt know or understand.
God is teaching job something that He didnt previously Know that God is sovoriegn, anything He does is within His power to do whether He gives or takes away. Job didnt understand that bad things happen to good people as well, and God is never in a position to be blamed, He is God, He is good and no one Has the place to reprove or correct His ways is the overwhelming message in Gods final answer. you find the same in davids writings and solomons, only with the understanding of job.
after the Lord final reproval teaching Job, Job understands finally
Job 42:1-6
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,2I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.3Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.4Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.5I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.6Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Job is sorry that He didnt get it, Now He does. Gods response afterward
job 42:7 "And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath."
Thier folly was to accuse job of being the cause of His suffering. and lead Him in poor counsel claiming they Knew, when they did not get it either. job 42:10 "
And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before."
Jobs lesson, God giveth and take away. the righteous fall and the wicked stand, and the wicked fall and the righteous stand, But God is good and faithful to restore what we have Lost. who is man to question the Lords ways? and keep faith in God even when youd rather not even be born.
concerning anything that is "not of faith" " faith cometh by Hearing, and hearing by the word of God"
a side note comparing as some are in this thread Jesus to job, is like comparing an ant to God. Jesus is far beyond sinless, and it is that further aspect of Jesus that saves us. Jesus came from before the world was, already ordained to be who He is already glorified and all the sacrifice of the ot, is based on what He was ordained to do in the shedding of His blood. like a foreshadow, still forgiven through Christ were those of the Law, they just didnt understand that until God has revealed Christ Jesus. Jesus is much more than just a sinless man, He is the son of God who took upon Himself the sin of the world.
