[[Job 1:21]]
[[Job 2:10]]
[[Job 13:15]]
[[Job 19:25]]
Zophar’s theology:
- The wicked don’t live very long, v4-9
- The wicked don’t enjoy anything, v18, 23
- The wicked don’t die happy, v24-25
- The wicked don’t leave anything behind, 28-29.
Job’s Response:
- WHY does God treat the wicked better than me?, v7-9
- WHY do I have financial problems that others don’t? V10, 13
- WHY does the unbeliever have plenty of children and I don’t? V11, 8
- WHY does the wicked man enjoy better physical health than I do? V13b, 23-24
- WHY do those who care nothing for God seem to live a carefree life? V12, 14-15
- WHY do the ungodly men get the promotions and places of power while I am ignored, v7
- WHY doesn’t God judge the hypocrisy of sinners so that their children will be warned, v19-21
[[Eccl. 8:11]]
- WHY doesn’t God make His own uniquely special? V23-26
- WHY are they more honoured in death, v31-32?
—
Death is not then end!
[[Psalm 73:1-22]]
[[Ps. 37:35-36]]
In the end…
*The Wicked’s Triumph is Temporary.

++*Christ’s Triumph Is Eternal
*Christ’s Sweetness Never Fades
*Christ’s Peace Passes Understanding
[[Job 23:10]]
