We are looking into the sovereignty of God as it applied to Job and you can also expect that it applies to you. God is always the same, Hebrews 13:8. I don’t believe there is one God of the Old Testament and another God in the New Testament. As I had written about it in (Part 1), Job’s fear is what gave the Devil a chance to attack him, his family and his livelihood. It wasn’t God’s sovereignty that allows Satan to attack Job. God did everything that He could to limit the devil but Job opened the door and kept it opened. God could not stop what Satan was about to do. You see, as noted in the last article, Adam turned this world over to Satan’s perverted authority, and even God noted that in Job 1. 12 And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” The bad things happening on the earth are always linked to sin. Satan is the god of this world, 2 Corinthians 4:4. He reigns over the people of earth who do not know Jesus and believers that do not exercise authority over sin and Satan. Jesus didn’t refute the devil when he said that he could give Jesus the kingdom’s of the earth in Matthew 4:8-11, why? Because it was true, Jesus had not defeated the devil yet. Keeping all this in mind, we can begin to unravel what was really going on in the conversations between the Lord and Satan. We can build an understanding of both God and the devil, which are gold nuggets of truths that we can glean from this part of Job’s life and conflict. What is going on here is that Satan’s lies, even to God’s own face, are maligning God’s good character in the minds of men. Satan is simply a liar and the father of all lies, John 8:44. The other truth that you have to keep in mind is that God knows everything, including the thoughts of the Devil: Isaiah 46:10, Hebrews 4:13 &  Revelations 1:8. These are only a very few Scriptures that I’ll use to prove biblically that God knows everything. Let’s look at Job 1:7 and understand
