In the ancient Near Eastern context, dreams were often seen as a means of divine communication. However, Job's dreams are not comforting or enlightening; instead, they are a source of fear. This reflects Job's overall sense of being overwhelmed by his suffering and feeling abandoned by God. Theologically, this can be connected to the idea that God sometimes allows difficult experiences to refine and test faith, as seen in other parts of Scripture, such as <a href="/genesis/41.htm">Genesis 41</a> with Pharaoh's troubling dreams, which ultimately led to Joseph's rise to power and the preservation of Israel.<p><b>and terrify me with visions</b><br>Visions, like dreams, were another common way that people in biblical times believed God communicated with them. However, Job's visions are terrifying rather than reassuring. This highlights the depth of his despair and the intensity of his trials. In the broader biblical narrative, visions often serve as a means of revealing God's plans or purposes, such as in the prophetic books (e.g., Daniel's visions in <a href="/daniel/7.htm">Daniel 7</a>). Job's experience contrasts with these more typical uses of visions, emphasizing his unique suffering and the mystery of God's ways. This can also be seen as a type of Christ, who, in the Garden of Gethsemane, experienced deep anguish and distress, yet ultimately submitted to God's will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.
