Special Commentary – Job Parts 1-3.
Introduction
The Book of Job is one of the oldest and greatest works of Hebrew literature to come down to us as Scripture. Job is widely considered to be the third son of Issachar listed in Gen. 46:13 as Tola, Phuvah, Job and Shimron. It is also accredited to Moses as the first work of the Bible text, written by Moses in his sojourn in Midian under Hobab, the Jethro, High Priest of Midian, who taught Moses, his son-in-law, husband of Zipporah. He was taught in Midian, before, and so that he could be, and was, called by Christ and sent to Egypt to bring Israel out of Egypt in the First Exodus. We will allow Bullinger to discuss the point further below, with notes on the dates. The work of Job was written before the Pentateuch was written in Sinai forty years before entry to the Promised Land. (The timeline is detailed in the Outline Timetable of the Age (No. 272.) Job was alive when Moses was in Midian over the last fifteen or so years of his life and the first fifteen, or so, years that Moses was there under instruction. This gives us the time frame in which the text is written and it concerns a number of highly significant aspects. The text deals with the sequence of the creation and the place of the Elohim Host in their relation with both mankind and with the One True God Eloah. The misapplication of the sequence of the creation comes from the relocation of Job well into the later OT writings rather than in the sequence of the creation and that fraud is supported by all later scholars including the Trinitarians, as devotees of the Triune God, that seek to attribute the Creation away from Eloah to the Elohim of Psalm 45:6-7 that is identified as the being that became the Christ (Heb. 1:8-9). In so doing they attribute the re-creation of Gen. Chapter 1 as the primary creation so as to use that record in John 1:1-18 as the primary creation and in so doing misdirect the Theology of the Scriptures in accord with Satan's system of deception to establish Trinitarian Theology and Hadithic Islam, and the Sun and Mystery Cults throughout the world religions. The reality was that the world was created hundreds of millions of years ago and saw many sequences of humanoid creations under the activities of Satan and the Fallen Host and none were successful. The earth became tohu and bohu (Gen. 1:1-2) between the Twelfth and Fifth Millennia BCE and the Elohim were sent by the One True God to refurbish the earth in 4004 BCE, which they did with the re-creation of the planet and the creation of Adam and Eve, as we see in Gen. Ch. 1. God gave the law to Adam and under that law Adam could not come under Judgment until he was thirty which was in 3974 BCE. Adam and Eve were judged and the Garden of Eden was closed in 3974 BCE and Satan’s Rule of the Earth began in 3973 BCE. We see in Chs. 1 and 2 of Job that the Elohim host including Satan had access to the Throne of God at that time (Job. 1:6 and 2:1). We see also that at this time long before the law was given to Moses at Sinai that the Law of God (L1) and sin was attributed to mankind and Satan used the Law to test mankind as he did here with Job and with his family who were in effect destroyed by sin under the law.

What transpires in the text is the fact that God allowed Satan to test a righteous man and his family and acquaintances against the Law and the Testimony in order to teach them, and the nations subsequently, concerning their trials and sins and their punishment. We also see that God intervened, firstly, by placing a limit to the test and, secondly, by reinstating Job, after he had been tested, both physically and spiritually, and in the eyes of his brethren. This whole sequence took place, in the first two centuries, while Israel was in Egypt. This sequence is thus an historical event under Moses.
