Job and his household represent those people, throughout the history of humanity, who are firmly committed to God and try to follow God's directives. Those who robbed Job and killed members of his household are those who are not committed to God, but have chosen follow Satan. God never relinquished these to Satan. Satan already had control over these people. God partially relinquished His people to Satan's program with the stipulation that they not be totally destroyed. Those who came and sympathized with Job represent the people who are not firmly committed to God, or are not sure of their commitment. Gordon
