"Everyone in the ancient world, including Job, believed in the resurrection of the dead and the existence of an afterlife. It's uncertain, though, whether he thought in terms of a bodily resurrection as taught later in the New Testament (1Co 15). Job merely expressed a strong confidence that somehow, somewhere, he would meet God face to face."
Instead of searching for answers, Bible Gateway Plus brings them to you—right next to every verse.
