In Chapter 38, God begins to reveal the Truth of not only Job’s situation but much of Lᴏʀᴅ’s supremacy over all the misperceptions brought out by his comforters. By Chapter Forty, the Lᴏʀᴅ speaks directly to Job and gives him opportunity to rebut what God has said about Himself. Imagine God challenging a man to resolve his view of God. What God says next is a direct challenge to man not to have the same mindset as Satan back in the beginning of the book, that God was wrong,
See how that changes the perspective from God’s viewpoint to reflect the earlier accusation of Satan? Remember back in Genesis when the Serpent is referred to as ‘subtle’? His tactics really don’t change much. God says, “Will you even put me in the wrong?” Once we have God’s revealing of Himself, disbelief in His character does smack of ‘putting Him in the wrong.’ But wait, why would we want God to be wrong? Again, God’s perspective,
All that being said, the Lᴏʀᴅ is secure in who He is, enough that He isn’t threatened by our attempts to justify ourselves. But He is insistent that we come to understand and accept that He is God and we are not.
The comforters are silenced, Satan is proven wrong about God’s wisdom, Job is enlightened, corrected, vindicated and then restored—all by the Lᴏʀᴅ.
And He still reigns, Supreme. Always.
