Book Of Job

My first thought was that Satan had won the wager, by Job questioning God. Which he does question God but all he wanted to know was the answer to the question. Job wanted to know why he was put into the circumstances that he was in when he knew he had done nothing wrong. He knew that he was a righteous man and by him knowing that he did not understand why he was put into those circumstances, so he wanted an answer from God. Now you may think that Satan won but God was the one who won the wager.

My first argument is based on the fact that throughout the whole book of Job, he does not curse God. That was the main purpose of the wager, Satan bet God that his humble servant would curse him if he would take everything away from him and also take his health. Through all that, Job knew to never curse God. Especially in the part of the book where Job’s wife tells him to curse God and Job says no. He then told his wife that you need to take the good and the bad that God gives you. All Job wanted to know was why was this done to him, so he was questioning God and his authority. Throughout the story no one can help Job in figuring out what the answer is to the question that he wants answered. The comforters try to t


We have went over everything that has happened in the book of Job, well the main points to why the Lord had won the wager. First we talked about Job not cursing God, which was the main point of the wager, not that Job would question God. Second was about the Lord educating Job on how He is the almighty and he is nothing but a righteous man that he made, and explains to him that he knew nothing and He Himself knew everything. Third God gave everything back to Job twice as much as before because of course Job did not curse God and He had already won the wager. Last but not least is that the Lord already knew from the beginning that He would win the wager because He knows everything and He knows about His humble servant Job.

For the last argument if God wouldn’t have won then why did God give everything back to Job twice as much as he had before. That will have to prove that God does win the wager by giving Job everything back because Job did not curse God. If he had cursed God then of course Job wouldn’t get everything back. In the epilogue God is angry at Eliphaz and his two friends and not at Job. The reason God was mad at Eliphaz and his two friends was because they did not speak right of the Lord, only Job spoke what is right of the Lord. Then God continue to say that they should make a sacrifice and then Job will pray for them and that he will listen to Job’s prayer and not deal with their folly. This is in the beginning of the Epilogue and it is telling you that God has won the wager and not Satan because God is not mad at Job He is mad at Eliphaz and his two friends. On top of all of that, God makes Job prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before. Then God blesses the latter part of Job’s life more than the first. One thing is for sure is that God knew Job would come through by being who he already is, a righteous man. Job was right that he had done nothing wrong but the Lord still had to show Job who he is questioning, he is
