Bible Question:
My question is, who was Elihu? I recently got into a discussion with someone who claimed Elihu was actually the Holy Spirit speaking to Job. When I expressed my disagreement with this take on Elihu (I believe he was as much in error in his rebuke of Job as Job's other "friends"), it was pointed out that God didn't rebuke Elihu in chapter 42 as he did the others. I did a little study on Elihu and was facinated to find commentaries that ranged from claiming Elihu to be the Holy Spirit, Satan, and just another of Job's so-called friends. So what do y'all think? Who was this guy Elihu? |
