Chapter 1
There was a man living in the great U.S. whose name was Job. This man was honest, respectable; he was a Christian man, sat in his same pew at the same church every week for the past 20 years. He gave to the church and prayed every day. He had a very large family one, 3 Sons, and 2 Daughters. He was a wealthy man, owning a car dealership three hotels, he was a majority share holder in the largest web search engine and a local fast food chain. He had about 3 thousand employees; he owned 2 houses, as well as a bout house, a beach house and a cabin in the Rocky Mountains. This Man was considered one of the greatest men in the western civilization.
His Sons and Daughters were loved by TMZ and VH1, Usually they were on the covers of the tabloids and they partied like rock stars. All of his children were very close and usually were causing public family shame all together. Job would spend hours praying every day that God would forgive them for their evils, for bringing family shame upon them all, and that wisdom would fill their hearts.
Now there was a day when the powers of the earth came to present themselves before God. And the Devil was also their. And God said to the Devil, “Where have you been? Where do you come from?” and Devil answered saying “From roaming across the earth, dancing in the dark clubs, Filling the veins of children with dreams, taking the innocence of women on the internet, destroying the righteous thoughts of strong men, choking life from the fish in the ocean, causing pastors to sleep with boys, and killing the unborn babies in the wombs of young women”
And God answered “ohh but have you seen Job? He is righteous and successful, and he seeks me every day. There is no one like him on earth, he gives to the poor, serves the homeless and is a caring and loving father. He turns from Evil, he is honest in all matters of business, never lies or cheats or steals. He turns from any temptation or evil.”
The Devil turned blackish red with anger and replied “Do you think he Fears for no reason? Do you not protect him from all evil? You give him success at every turn, advancing his businesses, and blessing his family. He fears you because you spoil him; He uses you in his mind, thinking of you as a puppet. Now show him your wrath for the sin that is in his heart. Stretch out your hand and curse his face. Crush him where he stands.”
God laughed and it shook Devil to his knees before him. “fine Devil, Go and all he has, his possessions his family, everything he has is yours to do what you wish to do. Just do not touch his personal body in anyway.”
The Devil was delighted and wasted no time. One week later the private jet owned by Job was flying from the Bahamas to Chicago when it stalled and plummeted killing everyone on board, which were all of Job’s Children, a later investigation showed that the accident was the result of intoxication. As it was the youngest of the sons that was the pilot that day. Job heard about his children’s death when one of his aids came rushing into his office telling him to turn on Fox news. Their he saw the wreckage of his family Jet on the coast. Job collapsed into his chair tears welling up in his eyes he reached for his phone to call his wife and just then it rang, he picked it up. “Hello this is Job,” his head sunk down into the palms of his hands, the Board of the Google had just removed him from his seat because he was under investigation for extortion and insider trading. Just then an Email came thru from his lawyer informing him, that His local food chain was being shut down and he was being sued and investigated for hiring illegal’s. Job’s head was reeling. He stood and stumbled towards the cupboard across the room pulled out a shot glass and a bottle of Rum as he slumped on the couch in his office, his top financial Aid com rushing in. “Sir, Sir, the DOW has taken a huge hit today and because of the investigations and suites, all your company assets have been frozen and your personal investments have all been seized and you are being sued by our investors.”
Job stood and took off his coat ripped the tie from around his neck, unbuttoned the top 2 buttons of his shirt. He finished his glass of rum, and walked out to the balcony of his office, standing 32 stories above ground he spread his arms and shouted to the sky. “I came with no money, no clothing no food. Born to a poor family living in a one bedroom apartment in California, and Now I shall return to the nothing I was born with. That the last 58 years of my life would pass away like a dream or be buried in it’s death of success. May I return once again to my humble ways.” But never did Job Curse God, or reject his righteous ways.
