Job

Meeting in Heaven

Satan when to heaven

Job 1:1 NKJV

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible Chapter 1

Uz—north of Arabia-Deserta, lying towards the Euphrates. It was in this neighborhood, and not in that of Idumea, that the Chaldeans and Sabeans who plundered him dwell. The Arabs divide their country into the north, called Sham, or “the left”; and the south, called Yemen, or “the right”; for they faced east; and so the west was on their left, and the south on their right. Arabia-Deserta was on the east, Arabia-Petraea on the west, and Arabia-Felix on the south.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible Chapter 1

Job—The name comes from an Arabic word meaning “to return,” namely, to God, “to repent,” referring to his end [EICHORN]; or rather from a Hebrew word signifying one to whom enmity was shown, “greatly tried” [GESENIUS]. Significant names were often given among the Hebrews, from some event of later life (compare Ge 4:2, Abel—a “feeder” of sheep). So the emir of Uz was by general consent called Job, on account of his “trials.” The only other person so called was a son of Issachar (Ge 46:13).

After the meeting

Job 2:1 NKJV

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord.
