Job:

<ol> <li>The five books of poetry: </ol> <ul> <li>Job - the secrets of suffering <li>Psalms - the secret of worship <li>Proverbs - the secrets of happiness <li>Song of Solomon - the secrets of love </ul> <ol> <li>The past 17 books deal with a nation <li>The 5 books of poetry deal with the human heart. <li>The purpose of Job reveals the need to exercise faith when we don't know the reasons for suffering and affliction. <li>Job was faithful though he had no Bible. <li>Job is thought to be the oldest book in the Bible. <li>Job contains 42 chapters. <li>The book of Job never refers to the scriptures. <li>James 5:11 sates "Ye have heard of the Patience of Job." <li>Job loses his wealth, children, and health yet still remains faithful to God. <li>God never explains to Job why he suffered. <li>God gave Job twice as much as he had before. </ol> [[Category:Bible]]
