Job 1-5, Isaiah 26

Episode Summary

The book of Job is thought to be one of the earliest writings of Scripture. Set in the period of the patriarchs perhaps even before the time of Abraham, this book gives us the account of a rich man who loses it all. Here in the first few chapters we are given a rare glimpse into the spiritual realm, describing scenes before the throne of God Almighty, who reigns so supremely that even His enemies must be granted permission to act. Satan despises Job and his devotion to God Almighty, and does everything in his power to tempt Job into cursing God. While Job’s suffering was not brought about by sin, his friends try to convince him that such desolation only comes upon those who are sinful.
