A Future Resurrection?
Scholars are divided on whether Job is speaking of the final resurrection or a vindication within his lifetime. Commentators like Matthew Henry and John Gill see a clear declaration of faith in the resurrection and seeing the Redeemer in a glorified body. Others, like Albert Barnes, argue that the context of the book points to a profound hope that God would appear to vindicate him on earth, which ultimately happens at the end of the book.
