I have been studying the book of Job for many years. I know that God let Satan did what it wanted to do to Job to test Job's faithfulness to God. I want to aske this question as a person who has been under a lot of troubles and depression so I know how a person like Job who was under those kind of loss and depression that he wanted to die and I did and continue to do so. My question is that :
1. Where was Job's wife during his suffering? According to the Bible, his wife was not standing with him and she even encouraged him to commit suicide. Why did not Satan remove Job's wife? Probably because Satan knew that she could be its instrument. Is it so?
2. After all the suffering and reconciling with God, God blessed Job with everything he lost but I want to know if Job could forget about his previous 10 children that he lost and how he did it. What I want to know is that for me tragedy once it happens, it is very hard to forget and it gave me a depression. I want to know how Job at the end could started with what God has double blessed him like new again. I have a question if those children he got after the suffering was from his same wife?...because if it was my wife who encouraged me to commit suicide and let me sat with my 3 friends who did not understand me and where was she during those time? I don't think I wanted to have any more children with her. Probably Job could forgive her as well as his 3 friends?
After studying the book of Job for many times, I now have these questions. I hope someone can shade a light for me. Thank you.
