Dear All One Family:

My search in Google lead me to these ideas given forth from others that also question rather Job was a parable or a real figure...

K.R.: look at Wikipedia, definition...prose framing device...again, what kind of work did you state that the physical host did for a living? Quite interesting wouldn't you say, being you told me that he had a framing business...hmmmm...again, hmmmm...

Book of Job
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Book of Job (Hebrew: איוב‎) is one of the books of the Hebrew Bible. The Book of Job is a didactic poem set in a prose framing device.
The Book of Job has been called “the most profound and literary work of the entire Old Testament”.[1] The numerous exegeses of the Book of Job are classic attempts to address the problem of evil, i.e. the problem of reconciling the existence of evil or suffering in the world with the existence of God. Scholars are divided as to the origin, intent, and meaning of the book.

When Jesus used a parable in the NT, He never used names, but when He was telling a story such as the story of the rich man and Lazarus, He would use names. These stories might seem hard to believe to some, but if we start throwing out books like Job as being real, then stories about Noah and Jonah and even creation will be challenged as well. I have always found it best to believe the Bible exactly as is although I am not aware of definate proof of everything in it. However, very few people search for convincing proof for the things that they read in other books. I do believe that there are references to a guy named Jobab from Uz in Genesis and also in the geneologies in 1 Chronicles. I think this is why most people put the book of Job as something that happened at a very early date. Hope this helps!

personally believe he is real bcoz...i just dont see how it could be a parable. in the old testament days...anything was possible. in the land of caanan...it wasnt that great but yet still like...there were great wars fought there. prohpets carrying out Gods will. that land of cannan isnt even that great yet the bible just shows it as a great place. and if that is real i dont see how Job isnt real...i guess...the only of knowing for sure is...when we all goto heaven...we can always ask right?

or even better...we can always see him in heaven next to us praising the Lord

Ezekiel 14:14
14 even if these three men-Noah, Daniel [a] and Job-were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD .

Ezekiel 20
20 as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD , even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness.


James 5:11
11As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
