At a guess, there is no book in the Bible buried deeper under layers of guesses than Job.[^1revelation] At a guess, there is no book in the Bible buried deeper under layers of guesses than Job.[^1revelation]
Perhaps it is the dire nature by which both approach the world. Job takes a look at the world, heaves a weary sigh, and says, "I suppose this is it. This is the lot we have been given in life." While Revelation looks at the world and growls deep in its through, a sound coming from the belly, and says, "This must not be it. This cannot be the ways in which the world works."[^1works] Perhaps it is the dire nature by which both approach the world. Job takes a look at the world, heaves a weary sigh, and says, "I suppose this is it. This is the lot we have been given in life."

Or perhaps it is the way in which they view death. While Job looks on death almost fondly,[^1fonddeath] Revelation reiterates the Christian sentiment that death has been defeated in the context of apocalypse. It is no more, and as there is everlasting life beyond it, it is worth considering only in that context and otherwise worth discarding. Or perhaps it is the way in which they view death.

Additionally, while doubtless Jews may have a dim opinion of Revelation, given its relative irrelevance in their lives, Job has been the subject of both rabbinical teaching and Christian exegesis for centuries now. This may be where it outstrips Revelation in its interest.

[^1iworry]: Or, well, *I* worry. I do not think many apologists worry, and this is not a work of apologetics. I am not an apologist, and whether or not I even believe in God is up in the air.

[^1talmud]: In fact, the Talmud suggests that "Moses wrote his own book, i.e., the Torah, and the portion of Balaam in the Torah, and the book of Job." (Bava Barta 14b, *etc.*) That it also suggests that Job was among those who returned from the Babylonian exile and that was not real and that it is all an allegory does little to shed light on the matter.
