Title: Piercing Leviathan: God’s Defeat of Evil in the Book of Job
Speaker: Eric Ortlund God is immoral (Job) The book of the Job is not relevant Whenever there is a sin, it leads to suffering (Biblical explanation) A Job like ordeal, the pain seems useless There are many Jobs, it is a not relevant to every situation Big four Questions What does God promise to Job In first two chapters we find he doesn’t fear Jobs look like a gold-digger He blesses our earthly life Every believer gets the gifts of eternal life God let’s Jobs loses everything in life He is allowing us to suffer to fit in the He is making us to be better in eternal life God is not angry with Jobs God is making us to make us for fitting us for eternally Job is mature in faith Sometimes he wants us to stay as a Christian even amid sufferings Jobs reaps what he sows Jobs characteristics God bad Jobs contradicts himself (in the beginning bringing kids to faith and later make him bad) He wants to be good/right with the God He deeply loves God In the Old Testament the ocean is like chaos Jobs has made sweeping statement about God God keeps mothering God knows that Job needs a breakthrough Usually, Leviathan are related with whales Why would Job see and then worship God Job can be tough in the suffering God is showing to Job who is really the enemy And describe even without the sin He is suffering God says that he is going to defeat the evil He is going to battle on our behalf All God says that He is going to deal with the leviathan, and He says he can deal with it And he says that He knows the problems better than Jobs He is going to continue the world and make it a good one day with removing the Leviathan People must be happy, and world shall continue before the eschatology in all the agony God let us suffer, not for the deficiency of faith but to remain faithful Ordeals like Job are always temporally Job serves the Lord with whole heart Job did not know what result/fruit is coming at end; however, he remained faithful At the end I don’t think that God answer wholly to Job for his suffering God is extremely gentle here and He is graciously good with him even Job really Jesus is the ultimate Job Book of Job is for those who already believe in Him
