558: The Suddenness of Job's Tragedies The End Time Blog Podcast
-
- Christianity
So as Sophia used to say on the TV show The Golden Girls, "Picture it, the land of Uz, 4000 years ago..." Job is living his life. Nothing remarkable happened. Oh, probably the usual servant issues, animals dying, an occasional tribal raid. But his life was stable and proceeding apace as the years went on. Like all of us, we think how it is now is how it's going to stay. This attitude is even captured in the Bible where people are mocking, saying "For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as they were from the beginning of creation." (2 Peter 3:4b).
Listen in for biblical food for thought about the impermanence and fragility of life.
