Show Notes

In this episode, we take some creative license in describing how Job’s fortunes are restored. Some things are in the Biblical record: (1) He has twice as much as what he had before Satan tested him; (2) He has ten more children: three daughters, and seven sons; (3) His daughters are the most beautiful women in the East; (4) One of them is named Jemima; (5) He sees four generations of descendants carry on his legacy of faith and generosity. Other aspects of the episode are taken from non-Biblical sources or the author’s imagination. 

 

However, do not miss this key point: it is okay to question God and express pain, as faith trusts in God's wisdom even when we don't understand. The episode concludes with Job's restoration, both material and spiritual, as he understands God's wisdom and the importance of steadfast faith during adversity.
