Book 18 - Job

9 days ago

The Book of Job explores why 'The Angel' is the reason why good people suffer (aka "the god of Ishmael.")

Job's friends offer unhelpful, simplistic "comfort," and the book ultimately shows that true comfort comes from a relationship with God, not just from understanding why things happen.

The book highlights that humans cannot know all the reasons behind events in the universe and must trust in God's wisdom that "all things happen for the benefit of those who Love God."

This, the 18th Book included in The Bible ends with God restoring Job's fortunes, health, and family, blessing him with more than he had initially. This ending serves as a testament to God's compassion and the hope that comes from steadfast faith and perseverance, although the promise of reward may be fulfilled in the afterlife rather than immediately in this life.
