Thursday, December 11th | Job in Genesis?

The book of Job is helping churches today, with God doing amazing things, and its message is weakened if considered a make-believe story. Bible scholars operate by digging into context, and understanding the culture of Job's friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, and Elihu, helps parse their advice and apply it to life. The names of these men are mentioned in the book of Genesis, and their culture is known for wisdom, which is legitimate and not secular. The Septuagint calls Eliphaz the king of the Tamanites, and his name means 'God is fine gold'. The original generation of Edomites and Ishmaelites were okay with God's people, but in time, they became pagans and hated God's people. [... more]
