Ember months are an acronym for months that culminate at the end of the year and it’s usually common to see believers especially in church circles cry out to God to exempt and protect them from the evils or perils that accompany this season of the year, as they anticipate crossing over into the new year in grand style.

We see a situation that at every point there was always *one person* who would escape tragedy to share his testimony with Job and that pattern was repeated and consistent.
And indeed there have been incidences of a boat mishap, car accident or a plane crash that *only one person* or a few escaped unhurt to give their testim
