So many Evangelicals want to tell you that this story is real and NOT an allegory. OK. Let's get some reality out of Job.
God and the devil are buddies and they had a bet. God said that Job would not curse him regardless of what happened to him. The devil said the opposite. Everything bad happens to Job and he has disease and loses everything including his wife and children. Since he never cursed god he gets everything back in the end including his wife and children. Since women and children are just like cattle to a man in those days we have to ask if the wife and children are new or are they the ones that died? Evangelicals will claim the latter and ignore that the story means we had to have had resurrections before Jesus.
So much for the marvelous bible story. If you have ever read the bible it has many examples of resurrection in it and not just Jesus. Why does this not happen today? Possibly it's because it never happened back then either.
