Job: Tragedy, Repentance & Restoration – Part XI

Joe | September 9, 2009

This entry is part 11 of 11 in the series Job: Tragedy, Repentance & Restoration

It was God’s turn to speak to Job last time. We studied God’s first response to Job by studying His knowledge. We looked at God in His role as Lord over all nature. We ended the last study by asking the question: do you see your sins as scarlet? But God isn’t finished speaking to [...]

By the end of the tenth chapter of Job, we find Job going back to that dark place of wishing he had never been born. Now it’s Zophar’s turn to have a word with job. Zophar is “the legalist” who presumes to know what God will do in a given circumstance. He acts as though [...]
