Job 42:10 says, And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.  Job had accused God of not listening to him when he was feeling that God was treating him unfairly.  When Job finally repented of his sin of claiming God was unjust, then God heard and answered him.  When we come to God in times of trouble, and put our faith in Him no matter what, then we can be certain that God will never fail us.  We just cannot allow the material things of the world to determine our faithfulness to God.  We are told that God restored to Job twice what he had before.  I believe this was done as much for the benefit of those around him as it was for Job.  They were basing faithfulness to God to be shown by material possessions.  Job would have been just as redeemed if he had gotten nothing back.  We cannot repent simply because we want some material blessing.  Verse eleven states, Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.  Those who had deserted Job and looked on him with contempt returned to comfort him.  We might call them fair weather friends and even family.  They now ate with Job and even gave him money and jewelry.  I believe there was still one misconception, and that was that God had brought this evil, this total collapse of Job's life, on him.  Though God allowed it, He did not directly cause it.  Verse twelve states, So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.  God blessed Job with twice as many animals as he had before. I believe that this was at least partially done as a witness to those around Job.  They had equated being blessed by God with material possessions, but Job had come to a greater understanding.  The real blessing is being in a right relationship with God.  Whatever God blesses us with materially, it should be used to reflect glory to God.  Verse thirteen says, He had also seven sons and three daughters.  There was a difference between Job's sons and daughters and his cattle.  The number of cattle doubled, but the number of sons and daughters born after God restored him was the same as before.  I believe that Job did double the number of his sons and daughters, because even though the first ones had died, their souls lived on, but when the cattle died there was no soul, or anything else, left of them.  People and all other animals will always be separated by the existence of the soul.  Verse fourteen and fifteen speak of Job's daughters. Verse fourteen says, And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. Then verse fifteen concludes, And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.  It is unusual for the daughters to be singled out ahead of their brothers, and even more unusual to give them the same inheritance as their brothers.  I believe that this is just another example of there being no difference between men and women in the eyes of God.  Both are equally capable of receiving the gift of everlasting life through the gift of salvation that Christ provided on the cross.  The last two verses speak of the length of Job's life after God restored him to his health and wealth.  Verse sixteen states, After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.  This tells us the number of years Job lived.  Verse seventeen says, So Job died, being old and full of days.  I believe that this tells us that those days were happy days.  When we are following God's will, then whenever we die, our days should have been full of God's blessings.  The key to Job's enjoyment of life was not the material blessings, but his relationship to God.  Our life should be the same.
