< Job 1 >

Verse 1

Waiting for response for Job 1:1

Job was a righteous man: "perfect, upright and one who feared God and eschewed evil", a testimony reiterated by God in Ezekiel 14:14.Waiting for response for Ezekiel 14:14 Consequently, we should not allow the false testimony of the Satan, Job's friends, or Elihu against Job to divert us from this to believe, for example, that he was "self-righteous". Jesus suffered the same false accusations by the Jewish leaders, declaring they knew he was a sinner! John 9:24.Waiting for response for John 9:24 Job was clearly a type of Christ and a God-given example to us to endure to the end and experience the tender mercy of the Lord. James 5:11Waiting for response for James 5:11

Verses 6-8

Waiting for response for Job 1:6-8

The "sons of God" refers to worships of the one true and living God who met in a Fraternal Gathering, we who are "now the sons of God (1 John 3:2).Waiting for response for 1 John 3:2 The 'Satan' is an adversary (the meaning of the Hebrew word 'satan') who clearly accepted as one of them by Job and the other worshippers, but he was one who travelled and met other sons of God and so was able to compare Job with them, and concur with the LORD that there was none so righteous as him in all the earth.
