The Defeat Of Evil

Job 40:6-42:6 Last week we saw God speak from the whirlwind and address the protests of His suffering servant by reminding Job—“I have the whole world in my hands. I am in control over the continuing presence of evil.” And what we discovered is that this landed on Job with great comfort (40:3-5). But we also said that more must be said about the chaotic evil in our world. After all—but Job has dead children. His fortune has been shattered. His health is hovering on the brink of death. Therefore, enter God’s second speech. What Job still needs to know, and what every sufferer wants to know, is if the chaos and evil and suffering we experience in this world will one day be defeated. Main Idea—God is the Just Warrior who will one day defeat evil.
