So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.

HOW GOD PROMPTED
THIS BIBLE-ART SERIES

"The Bible comes alive so much more with all the
illustrations, paintings, sculptures and stained glass windows.
Through them the stories are crystallized in our minds."


”Reading the Bible, we meditate, we think deeply about faith and beliefs, we gain insights and, thanks to all these great artists, these paintings become visual teachings and a powerful companion to the Bible.”

FRIENDS ACCUSE, JOB DEFENDS – GOD DECIDES

[MNDude]

Man, he’s like butt naked in almost all of them!

[Red Badger]

Some believe that the story of Job is an allegory for the nation of Israel....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

The sores were all over everywhere.

[Hebrews 11:6]

That’s fine, as long as they don’t allegorize Job out of actual existence.

[Red Badger]

As long as Israel exists, Job exists........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

If A, then B.

[telescope115]

It could very well be an allegory for us, as well…

[etabeta]

Well done. I like #1 very much. As for Job’s naked body it had to show the sores covering his body to make the wanted impression. Poor Job endured his suffering with patience but he too at times shouted at God. Very human reaction in a wonderful man of great faith.

[Craftmore]

He suffered everything just so that God could win a bet with the devil.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It’s been over 4,000 years since Job lived (and finally met his Redeemer!), and yet even today he still sets the benchmark for long-suffering endurance.

[Hebrews 11:6]

If that is truly your take, then you misunderstand fundamentally the whole of the Bible and of God.

[wbarmy]

At the micro level, yes, to win a bet with the devil. However, the macro level is the important one. Millions of believers over the last 4000 years have taken comfort, learned knowledge, wisdom and patience from the Book of Job. God used Job to educate and enlighten untold numbers of people going through whatever painful episode in their life was occurring.

The small amount of time that Job suffered, in view of the eternity of time he will enjoy as a child of God, is not comparable. Romans 8:18

#4, Style inspiration for the modern artist.

#18 could be titled, Morning Movement.

[Hebrews 11:6]

So, she was a Chagall devotee? LOL

[Hebrews 11:6]

It lacks a newspaper.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-/

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’re :-/sad at Job’s suffering. Typical female response. Guys are just hollering, “Suck it up, Buttercup!”
