Introduction to Prophetic Scripture: 27% of the Bible is Prophecy and God establishes five benefits associated with studying prophecy.
God completes His interrogation of Job, with Job responding in humility, confession and repentance, after which God restored Job’s health, wealth and position.
Elihu chides Job for his pride and his failure to grasp God’s transcendence.
Elihu counsels Job to allow God to teach him through his suffering and understand His justice and sovereignty.
In contrast to Job’s three friends, Elihu chastises them and Job as he answers Job’s questions.
Job presents his final appeal and rests his case with his three friends and with God.
Job’s questions remain unanswered but he revels in the majesty, power and wisdom of God.
Job’s three friends contend that they have God all figured out and can therefore judge Job, which he emphatically rejects.
