The secretary described the belief process of the hero Job. At first, Job believed that there was a God in the sky, feared God, tried to help people in life, stayed away from evil things, and lived smoothly. At that time, many local people worshipped him. Job himself was very happy, because he believed in God, so he always acted sincerely and tried not to owe anyone, so he was blessed by God. Unexpectedly, one day, natural and man-made disasters suddenly came and took away all his children, property and wealth. When you encounter disasters in your life, reflect on what kind of god you believe in.
Book background
Job lived in the land of uz. According to some geographers, this place is located in the land near the east in northern Arabia, which is the east of the land that God promised to Abraham's children. There are Sheba people in the south and Chaldeans in the east.
Chapter 1 section 8 of the Book of Job describes that "there is no one on the earth who is completely upright like [Job]." Maybe it should happen in a period, from the death of Yue Se, a man with outstanding confidence (about 1657 BC), to before Moses began to embark on the road of lifelong loyalty.
At that time, the Israelis were deeply polluted by the worship of ghosts and gods in Egypt, but Job retained the worship of innocence. Judging from the situation described in the first chapter of the Book of Job, and God praised Job as a man who abides by pure worship, it is likely that this is the patriarchal period, not the later period since 15 13 BC, when God promulgated laws and only interacted with Israel.
Job enjoys a high life expectancy, and this book may cover the period from 1657 BC to 1473 BC when Moses died. After Job's death, when Israel was still wandering in the wilderness, Moses finished writing this book.
