96:7.5 The variegated picture of [[Deity]] presented in the [[Book of Job]] was the product of more than a score of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamian_religion Mesopotamian] religious [[teachers]] extending over a period of almost three hundred years. And when you read the lofty [[concept]] of [[divinity]] found in this compilation of Mesopotamian [[beliefs]], you will recognize that it was in the [[neighborhood]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldea Chaldea] that the [[idea]] of a real [[God]] was best preserved during the dark days in [[Palestine]].

96:7.6 In [[Palestine]] the [[wisdom]] and all-pervasiveness of God was often grasped but seldom his [[love]] and [[mercy]]. The [[Yahweh]] of these times "sends evil spirits to dominate the souls of his enemies "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Judges#Chapter_.9]; he prospers his own and [[obedient]] [[children]], while he [[curses]] and visits dire [[judgments]] upon all others."He disappoints the devices of the crafty; he takes the wise in their own deceit."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Job#Chapter_.5]

96:7.7 Only at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur] did a [[voice]] arise to cry out the mercy of God, saying: "He shall pray to God and shall find favor with him and shall see his face with joy, for God will give to man divine righteousness."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Job#Chapter_.33] Thus from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur] there is preached [[salvation]], [[divine]] [[favor]], by [[faith]]: "He is gracious to the repentant and says, `Deliver him from going down in the pit, for I have found a ransom.'[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Job#Chapter_.33] If any say, `I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not,' God will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and he shall see the light."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Job#Chapter_.33] Not since the times of [[Melchizedek]] had the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levant Levantine] world heard such a ringing and cheering [[message]] of [[human]] [[salvation]] as this extraordinary teaching of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elihu_(Job) Elihu], the [[prophet]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur] and [[priest]] of the [[Salem]] believers, that is, the remnant of the onetime [[Melchizedek]] colony in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia].
