This analysis serves as conclusion to the Book of Job. It is necessary for any diligent reader of the Bible to think of the Bible as covering his perfection in terms of body and Spirit. How odd it would be only if only one leg is fully grown and the other leg has not opened at all?It is no less strange how Christians have applied their energy to equate prosperity as a proof of God’s blessing.
The Holy Spirit instructs believer to think of the incomparable riches found in the Word and it shall never depreciate in value nor will be out of place. Look about us we see what ravage prosperity theology has left in its trail? In cutting out spiritual basis for Christian Living the believers were fed the husks instead of wholesome word. Literalism was the result of viewing physical world separate from world of the Spirit. For want of vision people perish. “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition(1 Ti.6:9) Sin never stays single. world ecumenism,Christian Nationalism white Evangelicalism are earthy and when the dragon vomits his bilge, it is on social media platforms,- conspiracy theories and misinformation. What is the purpose? “that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood(Re.12:15b)’.
The allegory of Job teaches us the Land of the living is one seamless whole where the life of the flesh as an iceberg floating on the waters where God is the Sovereign Lord, every life is like vapor in his sight and He shall call each soul for account.
The vision is set in MinMax mode where we have the new heaven and new earth at the end. The war in heaven begins even as we read the opening chapter of the Book of Genesis. ‘And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep( Ge.1:2). The fall of Satan and after he is defeated (Re.19) what we know as outer darkness is his portion. All those who resisted from doing the will of God is at the ‘outer darkness’. To which Jesus alludes in his parable. This whole vision is set from the standpoint of Jesus Christ the Son.
The Spirit introduces the salvation work in the same MInMax mode by which great many events are elided over but setting the glory of the Son. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In short the Spirit takes us from heaven and the earth to the new heaven and new earth across from the garden to the city that has foundations whose maker is God. By the same token it takes vertically where the unbelievers have darkness as their portion leading to the outer darkness.
