- Righteous Job the Long-suffering
- This icon of patient endurance in the face of all that God sends us
lived near Arabia about 2,000 years before Christ. He was a descendant
of Abraham through Esau. His prosperity, his calamitous sufferings, his
patient endurance, and his restoration to health and riches are told in
detail in the Old Testament book that bears his name.
-
Some say that Job endured his sufferings for seven years before being
restored to health and prosperity. Others say that all his sufferings
occupied one year. The holy Fathers agree that Job for lived many years
after his restoration, and died when he was more than 200 years old.
