Job was a husband, father of two sets of children, a civic leader, rancher, farmer, hunter, vintage grower and carpenter of wood, metal and stone. He was an expert in leather and ointments, a musician and even a miner. No man of the primitive East was of greater renown or more varied in occupation and skill. He was also human and guilty of unseemly acts early in his life. Interwoven within the extraordinary story of Job is a civilization before Adam and what happened to it. There is Scripture's first promise of resurrection. The folly of angels and their attempted overthrow of God is explained. There is a single reference to giants in the earth that caused separate attempts to taint human stock and prevent the first coming of Christ. The Genesis numbers are used to reveal an important 20-year relationship between Job and Moses. If desired, the information they shared would aid an apostatized church blinded to the difference between Law and Grace.
