0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.5 | Today's reading landed us about 400 years post-flood, and we met a man named Job. |
0:17.7 | Initially, he sounds a lot like Noah. He's blameless and upright and fears God. In Noah's story, |
0:23.2 | things got really dark. Then there was some relief at the end, and not to give spoilers, |
0:27.4 | but we'll see the same type of thing playing out in Job's story. Based on our conversation from |
0:32.1 | day two, you may have noticed that Job 1-6 referred to the angels as sons of God, including Satan who, in his |
0:39.4 | created form, is an angel. In Job 1-8, God initiates a conversation about Job with Satan. |
0:46.7 | One thing worth noting here, the word Satan means adversary, one who resists, accuser. |
0:53.2 | There's some debate about this, but many people believe |
0:56.0 | Satan is not necessarily a proper name that refers to one being, but that it's a general |
1:01.1 | term referring to God's adversary, in this instance a fallen angel who opposes God's reign. |
1:07.6 | Later in scripture, we have references to a specific fallen angel named Lucifer, but there's |
1:12.5 | reason to believe that the word Satan doesn't always refer specifically to Lucifer. There are many |
1:17.7 | fallen angels who are God's adversaries. In fact, a lot of people believe that Revelation 12 |
1:22.9 | indicates that one-third of all the angels God created ended up rebelling against him and were cast from heaven, |
1:29.1 | so there are a lot of Satan's. And I think if I were to pronounce that word correctly, it would be satan. |
1:35.6 | But I'm not going to try to get too weird here. After God initiates the conversation about Job |
1:40.3 | with one of his enemies, the enemy concocks a plan to test Job, and we see God allowing it. |
1:46.2 | Here's what's noteworthy to me in this section. God didn't create the plan for testing Job, |
1:51.3 | but he allowed it. He wasn't the active agent in the evil perpetrated by Satan, but he was still |
1:57.1 | sovereign over it. And in his mercy, he limited it. Satan was on a leash. He was not |
2:03.8 | allowed to take Job's life. Satan attacked Job in a variety of ways. In 11-19, we saw that his |
