Our enemy is not omnipresent, he is not present everywhere at the same time, like God is.

Our enemy is not omniscient, he is not all knowing, like God is.

We see in the book of Job, that it is satan who is responsible for the mess of Job, not God.

The meaning of satan in the Hebrew is 'accuser'. One of his titles is 'the accuser of the brethren'.

God allows sin and suffering on this planet because He allows mankind, who causes sin and suffering, to be on the planet.

Job keeps repeating bad theology.

The reality is that while Job was blaming God, God protected Job and God had a hedge of protection around Job. It was the enemy who was attacking Job.

The Bible reports on many events that people did that the Bible is NOT condoning or approving of.

In the Old Testament the enemy had to ask permission to do anything to a believer.

In the New Testament under the New Covenant, the enemy doesn't get to even ask to do anything.

We have been given the ministry of reconciliation or joining two separate people together.

In the midst of Job's pain, God is using Job more than he could ever imagine.

Know then that God has wronged me,
And has surrounded me with His net.

1 Then Job spoke again:
2 "How long will you torture me?
How long will you try to crush me with your words?
3 You have already insulted me ten times.
You should be ashamed of treating me so badly.
4 Even if I have sinned,
that is my concern, not yours.
5 You think you're better than I am,
using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.
6 But it is God who has wronged me,
capturing me in his net.

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine (for what's right), for reproof (what's not right), for correction (to get right), for instruction in righteousness (to stay right) , 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth;

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." 18 And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

nor give place to the devil.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad:
Greetings.

This letter is from James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I am writing to the "twelve tribes"—Jewish believers scattered abroad.
Greetings!

27 I will see him for myself.
Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.
I am overwhelmed at the thought!
28 "How dare you go on persecuting me,
saying, 'It's his own fault'?
29 You should fear punishment yourselves,
for your attitude deserves punishment.
Then you will know that there is indeed a judgment."
