Yes, they saw many things in these types of terms. The book of Job presents an allegory in refutation of the idea that people who have calamity befall them are being punished by God and that the good are rewarded.

God is not up there withholding children from nice parents and giving children to abusers. God allows the natural consequences of free will and of the fallen nature of our world. God does give spiritual blessings, the “health and wealth” gospel is a false gospel and it is dangerous.

I can understand what you are saying. The book of Job does in fact present that. I do appreciate your time in helping me understand this.
