JOb 1: 6 The sons of God

(1/3) > >>

octoberose:
I've been looking up who it is believed that the sons of God are in Job. They come to be presented before the Lord, and Satan comes among them.  I'm not satisfied with the speculation I've found on who this is. Can any of you illuminate me?
 Thank you

Hello Octoberose,
I may be completely wrong, but I read somewhere (can't remember where or when), that God sends His angles among us to see what we are doing, and then every midnight(?) they come before God to give their report. I like to think that that is also a way God knows (apart from His Spirit being everywhere) what His children are up to. Maybe this is speculation too?

Deborah-Leigh:
Job 1:6  Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 2:1  Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Hi octoberose,

We may not know for sure who wrote the book of Ruth, Esther or Job yet it should suffice that they are in the cannon as Scripture and that...

2Ti 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God....... 8)

So we have - the Psalms, which is Psalms, Proverbs and Job.
Job is a poem.  I don’t know if you know that.  The 42 chapters of Job is a poem.  
Now Job does not appear to be a Jew or a Israelite.  It seems that he was a Pharaoh in Egypt.  But to pin down when he lived, I got 2000 BC all the way to 500.  

I personally think that he lived at about the time of Abraham, which would have been 1800 or 1900 BC.  I based that pretty much on the fact that 500 or 600 years later people were living to be 120 - 110 - 80 - 75 years old.  And 200 or 300 years earlier they were living to be 250 - 300 - 400 years old.  Job lived to be about 200, so he lived to about the age that people were living to at the time of Abraham.  I would probably put him about 1800 - 1900 BC.  And he apparently was one of the Pharaoh of Egypt, don’t know which one.

Yes it is and there are no scriptures to support this belief.

Joel:
Isaiah 64:8-- But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Luke 3:38-- Which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, WHICH WAS THE SON OF GOD.
1 John 3:1--Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the SONS OF GOD: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Joel
