Job 38-End

It´s in this last part of the book when Job finally opens his eyes. God appears to him from a whirlwind, and begins to explain to him that he has no right to be mad at the creator of the world. Humans weren't there when God made made water, light, animals, and the rest of the things that surround us. We were put in to ¨play along¨ with them.

I still remain with the question though, did Job win or not? The story ends up having a happy ending where Job gets back all his lost possessions, including his children. This must have meant that God won the bet with Satan. The thing is that, God never would have had to give Job the entire lecture of creation if the man had really understood the meaning of the situation. If it were up to me, I wouldn't agree that Job had passed the test entirely. He was confused and irritated for long time. Whenever his friends would try to help him, he would turn them down. In chapter 42, God made it seem as if it were their fault that Job was confused (I don´t think this is fair at all because friends are there to back you up and they don't deserve to be blamed for that). Anyway, if Job never would have had his face to face encounter with God, then he never would have gotten his mind straight. This is why I am saying that humans partially failed that test.
