I alone have escaped to tell you while he was still speaking. Another also came and said, your sons and daughters were eating and drinking in their oldest brother's house. And suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house and it fell on the young men. And here's the phrase, they are dead. Your children have died and I alone have escaped to tell you. Now there are winds that come up in that area that can be very devastating. I lived in Israel when every year in the spring they had this crazy desert wind called the Hamsin, which is now also called the Sirocco in certain parts. But it can wreck havoc. And building codes weren't what they are today. This house collapsed. The children died. Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell to the ground and what? …
… they also slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you. While he was still speaking, another also came and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you. While he was still speaking, another also came and said, The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them and slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you. While he was still speaking, another also came and said, your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house. And behold, a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house and it fell on the young people and they died. And I alone have escaped to tell you.

… Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house. And behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men. And they are dead, and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. The entire house fell in upon Job's family. Now he just lost his finances. And then right on the back of it, back to back, heel to toe, he now loses not only his fortune, he loses his family. But the devil is not finished with him yet. He's going to also lose his fitness. He's going to lose his health. Go to chapter 2 and look, if you will, in verse 4. And Satan answered the Lord and said, skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand, but save his life. And now Job is covered from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet with great huge ulcers and boils that rack his body with fever and pain, his body is consumed with infection. Infections that erupt with such putrefaction that Job goes out on the ash heap and takes a broken piece of pottery and begins to scrape away the substance that oozes from his boils. Can you imagine …
… DRINKING WINE IN THEIR ELDEST BROTHER'S HOUSE. AND BEHOLD, THERE CAME A GREAT WIND FROM THE WILDERNESS, AND SMOTE THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE HOUSE, AND IT FELL UPON THE YOUNG MEN, AND THEY ARE DEAD, AND I ONLY AM ESCAPED ALONE TO TELL THEM. HIS FORTUNE IS WIPED OUT JUST LIKE THAT. AND NOT, NOW NOT ONLY HIS FORTUNE, BUT HIS FAMILY. ALL OF HIS CHILDREN ARE GONE. THERE'S A TORNADO. AND THE HOUSE FALLS IN UPON HIS CHILDREN. THEY'RE ALL IN THAT HOUSE AND THEY DIE. WELL, IT GETS WORSE. CHAPTER TWO, LOOK IF YOU WILL IN VERSES SEVEN AND EIGHT, AND THEN, UH, WENT SATAN FORTH FROM THE PRESENCE OF LORD, AND SMOTE JOB WITH SORE BOILS FROM THE SOLE OF HIS FOOT UNTO HIS CROWN. AND HE TOOK HIM A PONTURE, THAT'S A PIECE OF BROKEN POTTERY, TO SCRAPE HIMSELF WITH ALL, AND HE SET DOWN AMONG THE ASHES. HERE'S THIS MAN NOW. HIS WEALTH IS GONE. HE'S BEREAVING FOR HIS CHILDREN. HE HAS A BROKEN HEART. THEY HAVE DIED AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON, WHATEVER, THAT HIS CHILDREN DIE, AND NOW HE HAS THIS CORRUPTION, THESE OOZING, VILE SOARS FROM THE CROWN OF HIS HEAD TO THE SOLE OF HIS FOOT. HE CANNOT GET COMFORTABLE, HE CANNOT LIE DOWN, HE CANNOT SIT UP. THE DOCTORS CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR HIM. IT GETS SO BAD, HIS WIFE SAID, WHY DON'T YOU JUST CURSE GOD AND DIE? …
