    The book of Job

    yeah ... that's how I've understood this section ... don't think those fallen angels want their faces rubbed into the absolute victory the Lord Jesus Christ had/has/will continue to have over them ... but the ministers of God revel in God's magnificent plan as they see things fall into place. .

    The book of Job

    1 Peter 1:6-12 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and...

    The book of Job

    Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. I always thought satan was prideful because he was the "anointed cherub" and God set him as such. It is a...

    The book of Job

    right ... and the first commandment ... thou shalt have no other gods before me (Exodus 20:3) ... no gods before God's face. Come before God with open face ... whole heart ... clear conscience. satan did not do that ... he said in his heart (Isaiah 14:13) ... "I will be like the Most High"...

    Isaiah 14:12-14 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount...

    The book of Job

    Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant [Hebrew = ʿeḇeḏ] Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Job 2:3 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant [Hebrew = ʿeḇeḏ]...

    The book of Job

    It is interesting that Job is shown in the first chapter as an interceder and in the last chapter as an interceder ... and sandwiched in between is the turmoil brought upon Job by satan. definitely something to ponder and not take lightly. .

    The book of Job

    bingo ... the battle is spiritual ... something which Job and his friends were completely ignorant ... and something we do not fully comprehend ... even though we have Scripture pointing us to the underlying spiritual conflict we are completely unaware of as our focus is distracted by the...

    The book of Job

    ... continued ... Job did not say he wanted to be free from his master in Job 3:19. Job was speaking of death. In death ... Job 3:13 – he would have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest Job 3:17 – the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at...

    The book of Job

    The first thing you need to understand is that there was no sin on Job's part for which he was being chastened by God. Secondly, all of the turmoil Job was going through was due to satan having smote Job with sore boils over his whole body. Job was in excruciating pain, he was feverish, he...

    The book of Job

    Job did not lie. Job's conscience was clear in that he had not sinned as his friends continued to insist. Job's relationship with God was such that if and when he fell short, he would repent and make offering to God. We do the same in our day and time, although we do not make sacrifices to...

    The book of Job

    not according to you. The question is not nonsensical. What is nonsensical is that the question has been answered by myself and others who have posted in this thread ... yet you continue to ask ... smh ... Rather than believe the very Word of God concerning Job, as well as believing what...

    The book of Job

    God never confirmed that Elihu was "speaking for God". While Elihu spoke some truth ... as did all the others (Job included) ... Elihu also spoke error because his premise was founded on the faulty surmising that Job was being punished for some sort of hidden sin on the part of Job. You know...

    The book of Job

    More diversion on your part. Rather than meaningful discussion, you divert to nonsensical rhetoric. And as far as what "God Said" ... you have definitely eliminated what "God Said" about Job (Job 1:1; Job 1:8; Job 2:3). .

    The book of Job

    When Job said he "went out to the gate through the city" ... this means Job sat in the gate of the city. The gate of the city was a place where leaders of the community sat and heard matters and made decisions ... resolved local issues. In the book of Ruth, Boaz went to the gate of the city to...

    The book of Job

    you're not interested in providing any response to explanations presented to you when your incessant regurgitating of verses is responded to (and which verses have already been explained to you). Rather than provide any cohesive rebuttal to the explanations provided, you ignore the information...
