Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure
There are times when God will see fit to make a way of escape, and there are other instances when it is His will that we hang in there by His grace, until the adverse situation be past. If God were to warn Job in advance of this particular situation, the natural thing to do would be to take all the necessary steps to avoid it. And since Job had the financial resources to do so, he very well might have gone that route.
If a billionaire like Elon Musk was given a heads up of some looming tragedy, he would then engage his resources to stave off the danger. And if it were the Sabeans and Chaldeans coming after him, it is most likely that he would beef up his security, with many bazookas and he would engage his star-link network to do 24/7 monitoring of the Chaldeans.
Furthermore, if God gave him advance warning of a tornado that would take out his kids, he most likely would again use his resources to build a doomsday bunker, so that his children could ride out the storm safely, in the bowels of the earth. But in this particular instance, it was God’s will for Job to go through the trial, with all of the difficulties and sadness that would occur as byproducts. Some way somehow, it was in the depths of despair that Job confirmed his decision to follow God no matter what, and as a direct result, the issue of pay to play was forever settled.
Job 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 16 He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
