Chapter Summary Of 'The Grapes Of Wrath'

To explain, Rowlandson compares the troubles she faces during her captivity with the hardships Job endured by expressing that she “only am escaped alone to tell the News” (Rowlandson 259). Rowlandson compares her surviving the initial attack by the Native Americans to Job’s servants escaping various tragedies in order to share the news of what happened. Likewise, Bradstreet compares her housing burning to Job losing all his possessions by explaining that she, like Job, “blest His name that gave and took” (Bradstreet 14). Both Rowlandson and Bradstreet compare their situations to the story of Job as a model to understand the meaning behind why God would give them such burdens and to help them get through their situations. Additionally, Rowlandson explains that before her captivity and before she “knew what affliction meant, [she] was ready sometimes to wish for it” (Rowlandson 288).

The book of Revelations was written by the Apostol John after God spoke directly with him on the island of Patmos. We can read God’s interaction with John in Revelations 1:9 & 3:22. This week we reached the stage in Job’s life where God finally spoke directly to Job from inside a whirlwind.

They sat with him for seven days and seven nights without saying anything, for “they saw that his grief was very great.” But when they did start talking, they each individually accused Job of having sinned. They said he must have done something against God to be in this much of an affliction. They didn’t comfort him or strengthen his faith with God’s word. Job told them he had not sinned, but they didn’t believe him.

Job acknowledges that God is superior and apologizes. God forgives Job and rewards him with double the amount of wealth he acquired in the beginning. Lessons: Suffering does not mean you are being punished for your past sins While we are suffering , we shall never

The Book of Job deals with the bigger issues Christians would face. If one believes in a righteous force that oversees the earth, then why is there an evil force? Job finds out that he is not allowed to ask the universe for justice because he is unaware of how the universe works. Job is a wealthy man who lives with his large family and his voluminous livestock. He tried his best to avoid evil, not just for himself but for everyone in his family.

Job owns seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yokes of oxen, three daughters, seven sons, and a wife-in short, prosperity. In addition, he is a respectful and religious man who worships God and lives a chaste life. However, God chooses to test Job and sets a list of punishments for him, who undergoes these challenges throughout the book of Job. There is a certain contradiction in a deity that punishes those who obey, and the story emphasizes the omniscience of God’s unique role in Job’s life. God’s seemingly capricious nature demonstrates the usage of power by an omnipotent figure, in terms of beneficence, retributive justice, and exploitation.

So Satan left the presence of [God] (Bible, 542).” God approves Satan’s idea of testing Job. Satan killed all of Job’s oxen, sheep, and camels. He destroyed his house as well. After Job did not curse God, Satan got permission to affect

It is a story meant to explain why if God is just that we experience suffering. The story of Job takes place in the Land of Uz, which is outside of the land of Israel. Due to Job’s comfortable living standards, it is inferable that the Book was approximately in a time when the ancient Israelites were living in an independent kingdom and had not been invaded by the Romans yet. The story is meant to teach us in God’s just world, there is suffering that we cannot understand that is part of some universal system. The idea of Satan is introduced and what purpose he serves in God’s practice of justice.

You see Job’s speeches pattern from the second cycle in his fifth and sixth speeches, he again wishes that an impartial mediator would serve as his defense attorney before God (16:18–22; 19:25–27). Job is convinced of his innocence and is confident that God will vindicate him, even if it is not in the present earthly sphere. However, Job’s conviction of his innocence prompts him to accuse God of having wronged him (19:6). In his seventh speech he ponders God’s system of justice in light of God permitting the wicked to live happy and long lives (21:7–26) and permitting them to even be buried with honor (21:27–34). Job is confused about God’s moral order.

“JOB” There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil (Job 1:1). The bible told us that Job was from the land of Uz. Uz was the son of Dishan the great grandson of Esau, whose wife was Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon the Canaanite Hivite (Genesis 36: 1-2, 5, 14, 18, 20-21; 25, 28). The kingdom of Uz was located in the kingdom of Edom (Lamentations 4:21). Esau is Edom, and his kingdom was located in the country hill of Seir, which was given to him by God to possess after he separated from his brother Jacob in the land of Canaan (Genesis 36:6-9, 19; 32:3 Deuteronomy 2:4-5, 12, 22; Joshua 24:4).

The story “The Book of Job” is a myth because it tells of the hardships of Job. The story of Job goes through the hardships that were put upon him by Satan. “The Book of Job” is a myth for three reasons. First, it contains everything needed for a myth. Second, Satan tries to break Job’s faith to prove a point to god.

Job himself was in such a dark place that he cursed the day he was born with a sorrowful vengeance. “Let the day parish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said…why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?” (Job 3:3 & 3:11) He speaks from a place of anger and it is completely understandable and relatable.

The dominant theme of Job is the difficulty of understanding why an all-powerful God allows good people to suffer. The Book of Job questions the idea that good things happen to good people, and that evil is a punishment for bad behavior. What it stresses is that God's wisdom and providence guide all the happenings in the world. The main subject of investigation is the problem of evil and its relation to the Providence of God. The Book of Job is further intended for edification, for Job is to us an example of patience.

In Christianity this is referred to as theology of divine retribution, and it assumes that God blesses those who are faithful to him and punishes those who sin. But, through Job suffering he continues to talk to God to ask the question why? In Job 7:20 “Have
