About the man - Job
Seriously, nothing much was said about who he is, apart from the fact that he's a guy in the East, lives in a land called Uz and he was both materially and spiritually rich.
This does not imply that physical prosperity is a given to all christian, neither does it says its a component for purposeful living. Uz is believed to be in a triangular point between Syria, Jordan and Arabia. Now, the claim by God Himself that Job was perfect, upright was astounding! A perfect God saying that to an imperfect creature. Wait a minute! That means any christian can strive for that badge of honor in his walk too! Hmm...the English language is known for her limitation in use of words and it would be better off looking at the original definition of each of the following word in the right context - perfect and upright.
