God seemly does nothing, hears nothing and says nothing!
God’s apparent silence:
What about Ps. 146?
Why does god not speak? Our world see the same issue that Job does.
What has God said?
Ex 22:1-2, Lev 19, Deut 16, Jer 9, 1 John 1, James 2
What has God done?
Gen 6- The Flood
Gen 18-19: Sodom and Gomorrah!
The Exodus!
Job acts the very way that he accuses God of not acts (Job 29:7-17) without realizing that he did because he was following the character of God and was an instrument of his justice!
Jesus say that we know all the knowledge we need to know in order to promote mercy and justice in the world (Luke 16:29).
Job could not know that God himself would come into the cruel and merciless world that Job is crying out about.
God so loves the world that he sent Jesus!
God brings to an end the suffering and injustice through the resurrection and the eschaton.
When we ask “why,” the Bible asks “how long,” because they is assurance of salvation.
