How do we see the gospel foreshadowed in the book of Job?
Answered in 1 source
The gospel is foreshadowed in Job through themes of suffering, intercession, and the need for a Redeemer who brings restoration.
The book of Job serves as a profound revelation of the gospel long before Christ's coming. Job’s acknowledgment of his need for a mediator in Job 9:33 points directly to Christ, who serves as our ultimate mediator and advocate. Job's declaration in 19:25, where he expresses hope in seeing God as his Redeemer, foreshadows the redemptive work of Christ, who will ultimately restore all things. The suffering Job endured reflects Christ’s own suffering for humanity, leading to the conclusion that God’s plan for redemption is woven throughout Scripture, culminating in the person of Jesus Christ, who fulfills the promises of intercession and salvation.
