The ancient men of God found sacrifice profitable ONLY when it spoke to the eventual perpetuity of the species and the world.

In the case of Job, God taught He would appoint an adversary over His people (although not to destroy him in the long term) that would drive them back to Him to save them.

This occurred many times in the ancient stories. And little do many now know, it is also occurring again now, mostly because we have the ancient stories (and understanding of Christ that meets the needs of such sacrifice differently) in our hearts and minds (and genetics even, for that matter).
