Bible Question:
JOB 1:6 JOB 2:1 why would satan come along with the sons of men to present himself to the lord |
Bible Answer: Dear interestedinthebible08, See Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salation, and power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before out God day and night. Do you see that? That is talking about Satan the devil, coming to the thrown of grace both day and night to accuse the brethren to God to condemn them. I Peter 5:8 Be sober of spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to devour. See that the devil goes prowling all around the earth seeking who to devour. Now let's look at Job together... Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. The Lord said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Then Satan asnwered the Lord and said, "From roaming around on the earth and walking around in it. The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job?" For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." The discourse goes on, but this is enough. Satan had been going about the earth, walking around, prowling around, seeking whom he could devour. He comes to the throne as he would if he had someone to accuse, as he does day and night, but that day, he had no one to accuse... God knows all about Satan and his ways, how he goes about seeking for someone to devour and how he shows up every day to accuse whomever he decived into falling. God sees that Satan is not accusing anyone that day, so God says, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil." Do you see what was happening here? Satan had no one to accuse, but God wanted to challenge Satan to a duel of wills over Job. Don't you think God knew that Satan would start off immediately and try to accuse Job of having it easy as the reason why Job stayed good? That is why Satan says all those things about how God is protecting Job. But God was counting on that he would do that, God had a plan in mind. The plan was to allow Satan to hurt Job and test his faith by tempting him to curse God. God won the duel of wills. The sons of men is an expression often found in the OT that meant angels. Satan went to the throne along with God's good angels for an audience. Hope this helps, Tamara |
