JFB = Jamieson, Fausset, Brown Commentary JFB = Introduction AC = Adam Clarke Comentary AC = Chronology by Adam Clarke OU = OUtline of Ruth 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
The Book of Job Job is in form a dramatic poem. It is likely the oldest of the Bible books, and was certainly written before the giving of the law. It would have been impossible, in a discussion covering the whole field of sin, of the providential government of God, and of man's relation to Him, to avoid all reference to the law if the law had then been known. Job was a veritable personage (Ezekiel 14:20; James 5:11), and the events are historical. The book sheds a remarkable light on the philosophic breadth and intellectual culture of the patriarchal age. The problem is, Why do the godly suffer?

See Job 2:3.
A reigon at the south of Edom, and west of the Arabian desert, extending to Chaldea.
Would you like to trade places with Job? (You should "update" the nature of his
wealth in deciding.)
2. How was he when it came to spiritual matters?
3. How was he when it came to material matters?
4. How did he stack up against his peers?
What kind of meeting is this?
2. Let's look at a little background to better understand this council meeting. Read Revelation 12:7-9. What kind
of history do God and Satan have? (Things became so bad in heaven that war erupted. The armies of God and Satan clashed,
and God won. Satan and his army of angels were exiled to the earth.)
3. If Satan was exiled to earth, does that give us proof that the meeting described in Job took place on earth?
(Read Revelation 12:10. This makes clear that there was a time after sin entered our world when Satan had open access
to heaven and he would accuse humans before God.)
(Just as described in Revelation 12, Satan is accusing Job before God. God praises Job and Satan attacks him.
Based on all we have read, I think this council meeting reported in Job takes place in heaven.)
2. What competing work do we see in this example of Joshua? (Satan accuses us and God stands up for us.)
4. What did Joshua do to be saved from the accusations of Satan? (He was in the "right place." But,
Zechariah 3:4 clearly states, "I have taken away your sin." Jesus took away the filthy clothes and gave
Joshua "rich garments.")
b. When Satan accuses us, is he arguing about justice?
