What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The Book of Job was written by Moses. We know that Job lived before Moses. Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt around 1450 BC. Question: When did Job live?"
Answer
The provided documents do not contain an explicit year for Job's lifetime. However, it is noted that Job likely lived during the time of Moses, as he possessed knowledge concerning the Redeemer and the resurrection, which is placed in this context.
Furthermore, Job is compared to Joseph regarding his character and spirit, indicating a chronological placement in the era of the patriarchs. While Moses wrote the Book of Genesis in the desert, Job's steadfastness is cited as an example of the same spirit that also distinguished Joseph.
The Lifetime of Job
»Job, who is assumed to have lived during the time of Moses, possessed knowledge about the coming of Christ and the resurrection; for he said: “Oh that my words were now written down! Oh that they were printed in a book! That they were carved into the rock with an iron stylus and with lead forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives and that he will stand on the earth on the last day.”«
»Joseph saw the hand of God in all events of his life. Job revealed the same spirit; for after God allowed the devil to take away all his earthly possessions, he completely excluded the devil from the reckoning and said: “The Lord has given, the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” This spirit, which is nurtured in the heart today, will make a person as great as in the days of Job and Joseph.«
