Uncertainty

The Book Of Job 38-42

After finally finishing the book of Job I only had two thoughts, it was too long, and there were too many speeches! The story was basically Job's suffering for God's love, since Satan told God that it wasnt true love. Even so, God did punish Job, and would not let him die.

After a debate and speeches from Eliphaz and the other two guys I cant pronoucne their names, then came God's turn to speak. I couldnt understand what Lord God would say. It was so long and extremely confusing. What I did understand is that finally God forgave him, since Job finally cursed over God. If it is right what I understood, it doesnt make any sense. First, God punishes Job for loving him too much, and now, he forgives him for cursing on him. God doesnt only forgive him, he blesses him with gifts."Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold".(Job 4211)

What is the problem with God? How are people supposed to love him if he only curses to the good and blesses others? The QUESTion of Why is life unfair, may be answered by God, or he knows something we dont.

Even so, fianlly Job may rest in peace, since finally, he was allowed to die.
"So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses". (Job 42:12)
