I'm not preacherman, but I would like to respond to your question.
First, yes God does know our past, present, and future. However, you have gotten some of the facts about the story of Job wrong. Satan did not get God to test Job. Satan received permission from God so that he could test Job himself.
Next, Job did not fail the test. The test was for Job to curse God, which he did not do. He passed this test even when his wife suggested he curse God and die. That is the reason God allowed Satan to attack Job. God knew Job would not curse Him. God allowed Satan to afflict Job, so that he would have the proof himself. The proof that Job passed the test is seen in the fact that God doubled to Job the material possessions Satan took.
Job was rebuked by God for questioning Him. God had everything in control, and did not need Job calling His actions into question.
That's how I read the story of Job. Hope this helps. |
