2) Looking for Job

Job 2:2,3

- Here we have the testimony of Yah.weh about Job!

- IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH OR NOT?

- There is no one like him on earth!

- It doesn't matter what people say against him!

- He keeps faithful!

- And Yah.weh will give him back twice as much as what he lost!

True, Job was a "son of God", and kept the feast days of God.

101G.

 

[Bob Carabbio]

Job 1:22

- Job’s world has collapsed, everything he knows has gone away from him!

- Think about losing everything the same day!

- How would you react?

- Forget your past, now it’s time to start from nothing!

- And Job accuses no one, on the contrary!

- BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!

- EVERYBODY HAS HEARD JOB’S WORDS!

There's more to the story, though (which folks tend to ignore. The exercise brought Job TO REPENTANCE (Job 42:6) for two tendencies that God wanted to reveal to him: "Behemoth" - Job's tendency to trust in HIS OWN strength and abilities, and "Leviathan" - Job's personal pride in himself.

The book illustrates the LENGTHS that God will go to, in order to correct issues in our lives.

I have not heard it illustrated that way before with Behemoth and Leviathan but I can see the correlation between them.

- If it was the case, the devil wouldn't have lost his time trying to break the special relationship between Yah.weh and Job!
- Yah.weh wouldn't have said about Job: "There is no one like him on earth!"
- Job wouldn't have made sacrifices for his children in case they would have thought against Yah.weh in their hearts!

I agree with your take, although Job was righteous externally speaking.

I would reverse the monsters symbolism there, as pride is the primal sin, self-righteousness follows after.
