In one of the discourses that Jesus gave, He made a statement. He said, Luke 11:32: The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here. Did Ninevah repent? Yes. What did Ninevah repent of? Of sins. She was guilty of terrible sins. But did the Jews repent? No. And Christ said it would be easier for the Ninevites than for the Jews, because their [Jews] repentance needed to be primarily from self-righteousness. And that is very difficult. So what I want to do is to approach this study from two angles: I want to look at a case study and I want to look at Jesus Christ as our example. The case study may create a problem in your minds because I’m dealing with a situation that is not the traditional interpretation. So if you disagree with the interpretation, fine, I will not complain, but at least I hope you will get the 232
lesson. I would like to look at a man whose history has been recorded in the Bible, in the oldest book in the Bible. What is the oldest book in the Bible? Job. It is believed that Job was written during the 40 years that Moses was in the wilderness. So please turn to the book of Job. I have wrestled with the book of Job for a long time. I could not see why God allowed Job to be so badly mistreated, and to go through those terrible crises, without a purpose. To me, the purpose of simply proving that he was righteous was not good enough. It did not “jive” in terms of the character of God. Then one day, I was reading The Desire of Ages, and I found a statement there — I can’t remember the reference so you’ll have to look for it — where Ellen G. White said that the history of Job reveals to us, or tells us, that all calamities come from Satan but are allowed by God for a purpose. But she did not say what purpose it was. So the only way for me to find out was for me to read, and study, and wrestle with the book of Job. And I spent some time with it. I discovered 233
