Satan's First Attack
“And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:”
Job 1:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 1:13
The timing 'a day' when Job's children were feasting connects directly to verse 4, showing God's sovereignty over the exact moment of testing. The simultaneity of the calamities (all on one day) amplifies the severity of the trial while revealing God's sovereign orchestration even in Satan's attacks. This doesn't make God the author of evil, but shows His use of evil for holy purposes (Genesis 50:20).
