    Nothing is outside of the Sovereignty of God,  Mr G do you not think that if God chose to he could have stopped Satan killing Job's 10 Children he certainly protected Job, but what of his children? could he have stopped this action by Satan?

    6 One day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came with them.  7 The Lord said to Satan, ‘Where have you come from?’
    Satan answered the Lord, ‘From roaming throughout the earth, going to and fro on it.’
    8 Then the Lord said to Satan, ‘Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.’
    9 ‘Does Job fear God for nothing?’ Satan replied.  10 ‘Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.  11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.’
    12 The Lord said to Satan, ‘Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.’
    Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.------------------------------------------------

    18 While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, ‘Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the eldest brother’s house,  19 when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!’
