Job

We have talked a lot about Job in our class this year, though we have never gone over his story specifically it has come up via comparisons and is applicable to many of the themes and storys.

These are just a few quotes which i thought illustrated certain truths about the human condition.

"Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it;let blood be upon their skins;let the blackness of the day terrify it." The Book Of Job--3:5

I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God. Job, 19. 25

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue. Job, 20. 12

just a couple thoughts on those....


The characters of God and Satan are vulnerable in the book of Job in order to apply human rationale to concepts beyond their intellectual hold.

Human beings apply rationale to that which they can not grasp



Man applies human qualities to entities beyond their comprehension in order to bridge the gap between what they can verify and concepts beyond their range of their experience.
