"If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land"

I have a lot of notes and replies to things I've kept over the years. Something that I have shared quite a bit outside of the comics is a series of questions and verses to answer those questions. Each question and answer builds on each other. I am going to do a comic for each of these questions. This is question #2.

*New Song* (WARNING: It's a bit heavy)
A Greater Than Shalomoh is here!
By Dr Garth Grenache
and his Uncanny Valley Orchestra
2024:11:14
Before the world, Yah set me here
As master workman, ever near
Delighting in His grand design
And in mankind, His work divine
Chorus:
With wisdom vast and love sincere.
I reign in power, hearts I'll steer,
My light shines bright, my paths made clear,
A greater than Shalomoh is here!
So heed my call, O sons of man
And walk the path of wisdom's plan
For he who finds me, finds true life
But scorners court eternal strife
Chorus:
With wisdom vast and love sincere.
I reign in power, hearts I'll steer,
My light shines bright, my paths made clear,
A greater than Shalomoh is here!
Chorus:
With wisdom vast and love sincere.
I reign in power, hearts I'll steer,
My light shines bright, my paths made clear,
A greater than Shalomoh is here!

Question 80: Is the Book of Job a real history or a dramatic allegory?
Answer:
Job is believed to have been a real personage -- a type of the earliest patriarchs, a man of high intelligence and great faith. The story is cast in dramatic form. Professor S. S. Curry, of Yale and Harvard Divinity Schools, thus outlines it: the place, a hill outside the city; a rising storm, flashing lightning, rolling thunder and a rainbow; the speakers, YHVH, the patriarch Job, his friends and Satan; the theme, the mystery of human suffering and human existence." To which may be added, a sublime faith in the divine wisdom, righteousness and justice. The book of Job is regarded by many Biblical scholars to be a spiritual allegory, but there is no reason to believe that it is not a real history. The name Job is derived from an Arabic word signifying "repentance" and Job himself is held to be a real personage. (See Ezekiel 14:14 and James 5:11.)
Question 79: Are the speeches of Job’s friends to be regarded as inspired?
Answer:
This question is answered authoritatively in the book itself (see Job 42:7), where YHVH is represented as saying, "My wrath is kindled against thee and thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right." One gets a clearer idea of the book by regarding it as a symposium on the problem of suffering, each speaker being a representative of a school of thought. Each speaker keeps to the same aspect of the subject but all agree in regarding unusual suffering as evidence of unusual sin. They imply that in Job's case, he being outwardly so good a man, his sin was aggravated by hypocrisy. This was unjust because, as we learn by the first chapter, it was precisely because he was so good a man that his affliction came upon him. The author of the book evidently wished to administer a warning to the people of his time against being uncharitable in their inferences.
Question 78: Did YHVH “blot out” the day on which Job was born?
Answer:
This question is doubtless prompted by the ancient tradition or superstition that we have fewer days in February than any other month, as Job was born in February. This of course is a fallacy. There was no February in the time of Job, 1520 B. C. The months or divisions of time, were not as we have them now. The year of the Jews consisted of twelve lunar months of twenty-nine and thirty days alternately, a thirteenth being from time to time introduced to accommodate it to the sun and seasons. Let it be noted that while Job cursed his birthday, he did not curse his Maker, so why should Elohiym drop a day on account of a little weakness in his servant who, despite his great sufferings, never uttered any reproach against the Author of his being? Our months as at present, we have from the Romans. With those people February had originally twenty-nine days in an ordinary year, but when the Roman Senate decreed that the eighth month should bear the name of Augustus, a day was taken from February and given to August, which had then only thirty, that it might not be inferior to July, named in honour of Julius Caesar.
