Job 23:1-17
In Job 23:11-12, Job understood that he had actually done his best to obey God and keep His commandments. Job possessed sin in his being, and therefore, he could not be sinless. But he could be as obedient to God as was possible for a sinful man to be. For this reason, God called Job "perfect" in Job 1:8. When Job stated that he needed God's Word more than his food, he implied the future statements of Moses in Deuteronomy 8:3 and Jesus in Luke 4:4.
In Job 23:13-14, God caused Job to comprehend that whatever God set His Mind to do He would certainly accomplish and nothing could stop Him. Job also understood that God's determinant will applied to him as well. Job understood that God's Love had put him into a state of grace which meant that God would eventually purify him like gold and no thing could ever prevent God from accomplishing this goal. God's Word reveals that He loves His entire creation and that He has determined to cleanse it all from the filthiness of sin, recover it all to Himself, purify and reconcile it all to Himself, and recreate it all to a state of absolute righteousness. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Romans 8:14-24. In light of Revelation 21:1-5, all living humans that God created must be included in the fallen creation that God has promised to restore in Romans 8:19-22. Romans 11:36; Colossians 1:15-20; John 5:28-29; II Peter 3:12-13; Luke 20:38; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 22:11-12.
In Job 23:15-16, Job recognized that God's presence in his life disturbed him because it caused him to develop a reverential fear of God. Those who love God do not fear that God will disown them. They only fear that God could disown them if He chose to do so. But Job knew that even though God's presence troubled him, God would never disown him because God had made his "heart soft," which meant that God had given Job His own compassion and love for others. This fact provided proof to Job that God had claimed him for His own.
In Job 23:17, God caused Job to realize that He had allowed Job to perceive the "darkness," Darkness in the Bible often symbolizes evil and eternal spiritual separation from God's Love. God wanted Job to observe this terrible fate from which God had saved him through His grace provided by the Intercessor. Romans 8:34; Hebrews 2:9.

Commentary on the Book of Job part forty five
Job 23:1-17
In this chapter, Job spoke about what his faith in God really meant. God revealed to Job that he had entered into a state of grace with God. Similar to that which is taught in the book of Ephesians, Job realized that he had already spiritually arrived into the presence of God who had saved him and would sanctify him.
In Job 23:1-7, Job began again with his complaints about his suffering, but he soon realized that he had entered into a new relationship with God. God caused Job to understand that his spirit could enter into the very presence of God in heaven and personally talk with God whom Job also knew to be his Intercessor. God would never use His power against Job, but He would imbue Job with spiritual strength which meant that God would sanctify him; that is, He would cause Job to become an even better person and a perfect person when he got to heaven. God would also never judge Job to separate him from His presence because Job had entered into an eternal state of grace with God. God never rescinds any of His gifts. Romans 11:29.
In Job 23:8-9, Job realized that God is a Spirit whom one cannot perceive with the senses. God seemed to hide Himself, but He could be spiritually known.
In Job 23:10, Job understood that even though God knew all his ways, good and bad, God would not cease to purify Job until He had caused him to become as valuable to Him as pure gold was to Job. God would provide Job with tests that he might pass or fail, but over time, God would nevertheless never fail to sanctify him to a state of perfection. The entire Bible (KJB) contains stories of how God takes control of failed systems and people, works out all of its sin, and brings that system or person to perfection. God has applied this same goal to all of his systems soiled by sin which constitutes every system in His entire creations including all humans. Romans 8:14-25; Ecclesiastes 3:14.

Commentary on the Book of Job part forty four
Job 22:1-30
In Eliphaz's answer to Job in this chapter, he seemed to have become somewhat confused about the nature of God and Job's relationship with Him.
In Job 22:1-3, Eliphaz, being a deist, contended that an aloof God would not care whether Job were righteous or wicked. God would certainly never desire to judge Job.
In Job 22:5-17, Eliphaz railed against Job for being wicked, and he even invented lies about evil acts that He imagined Job had done. Eliphaz told Job that he was living in fear and darkness because of his wickedness, and yet, Eliphaz accused Job of believing that God dwelt in a thick darkness and could not see, and did not care, about Job's wickedness. But then Eliphaz contradicted himself when he warned Job that in the ancient past, God had destroyed all the wicked of the earth in the great flood.
In Job 22:18-20, Eliphaz forgot his deist philosophy when he realized that God had supplied the needs of the wicked and the righteous before the great flood. Eliphaz admitted that he did not understand the ways of the wicked, and he also admitted that God seemed to bless the righteous in ways that could not always be outwardly seen. Eliphaz also displayed a vague intuition that perhaps the wicked suffered some sort of fiery punishment after death.
In Job 22:21-23, Eliphaz betrayed the fact that he had been listening to Job's revelations about God more than he realized. Eliphaz began to repeat to Job some of the same insights about God that Job had revealed. Eliphaz advised Job that if he would repent of his wickedness and receive God's Word to live by, then God would give him peace and goodness. Because of Job's witness, Eliphaz had caught a glimpse of the fact that perhaps Job did possess some sort of inner, spiritual relationship with God.
But in Job 22:24-27, Eliphaz returned to his former idea that God only blesses the righteous in material ways.
But in Job 22:27-30, Eliphaz again obtained a spiritual glimpse of that which God was actually doing through Job. Eliphaz understood that God had made Job a kind of preacher who could inform men who were "cast down;" that is, ready to repent, that God would "lift up" those who humble themselves to Him in some spiritual way. By his phrase, "the island of the innocent," Eliphaz displayed a spiritual insight into a heavenly reward for those whom God had made innocent. Eliphaz even realized that God would deliver this heaven to Job because God had forgiven him of his sins and had made him pure.

Commentary on the Book of Job part forty three
Job 21:1-34
Sin causes the being of man to be subject to spiritual death which attempts to annihilate the good image that God put into him. Genesis 2:17; Romans 6:23. Satan's hope was that man's fate would be that his good image would become totally absorbed in evil and lost from God forever. But God was simply using Satan to test His Love and prove that His Love can never be destroyed. God's love for man caused Him to intervene in man's history to rescue him from that terrible fate. God suffered man's eternal spiritual death and separation from Himself in man's place on a cruel cross. Psalm 22:1; Matthew 27:46; Hebrews 2:9.
Repentance, faith, and reconciliation are all a part of God's Love and the goodness that He put into man. Although sin has soiled God's good image in man and has threatened to annihilate it, God has devised a plan to renew the repentance, faith, and reconciliation that He has put into His image in all humans. Romans 12:3; Philippians 2:9-11; Colossians 1:15-20; Revelation 21:5. But God will rescue all humans through different forms of salvation.
God has given some humans repentance and faith in His power to take away their sins while they still live in the flesh. God cleanses these humans of all their sins with the blood and water that flowed from Christ on the cross, and they become saved by grace and reconciled to God of their own free will. John 3:16; John 11:26; John 5:24; I John 5:5-6. Humans saved by grace receive the free gift of the eternal life and righteousness of Christ which makes them fit to live with God in heaven forever. Romans 6:23; II Corinthians 5:21; I Peter 1:3-4. Salvation by grace constitutes God's highest form of salvation.
As prophesied in scripture, one day in the future God will renew the faith and repentance that He put into His image in all humans that He had to consign to one of the regions of spiritual death because He could not accept the filth of their sins which still clung to their image. Isaiah 45:21-24; Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 20:13; Revelation 5:13. In a tremendous worship service, they all will recognize Christ as their Savior of their own free will, and God will resurrect their good, living images in them for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Luke 20:38. God will use His consuming fire to cleanse them from all their sins which directly connects to the descent of Christ to hell where He left behind all of the sins of man not saved by grace. Jesus had to have done this because He bore all of the sins of mankind on the cross, but He rose immaculate from the dead. I Corinthians 3:11-15. All of the Old Testament burnt offerings symbolized this form of salvation. Isaiah 6:5-7 proves that God can use His consuming fire to cleanse sins. God will recreate these living humans to be good and pure like Adam and Eve were. They will be immortal in spirit and soul but not immune from physical death. Jesus did not attach much importance to physical death when He walked the earth. Luke 8:52; John 11:4; John 11:26. God often referred to His Church as being asleep, not physically dead. I Thessalonians 4:15.
In this general resurrection of all living humans from spiritual death in the end of the world, God will also effect a complete separation of spiritual death itself, which is totally evil, from all that is good and living. God will forever remove spiritual death and all the regions of evil from His renewed creations by casting them into the lake of fire. In this way, God will forever prove that He can never lose anything that He loves and has created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Colossians 1:15-20; Romans 11:36; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:8; Revelation 22:11-15; John 5:28-29.

Commentary on the Book of Job part forty two
Job 21:1-34
Evil caused sin. Evil in man resulted from his obedience of Satan, and his willful disobedience of God which caused a spiritual death and darkness in his being which is allied with Satan. God created man in His image, and every gift that God gave to man was good. Genesis 1:27; Genesis 1:31. Free will was one of the good gifts that God gave to man, but Satan exploited that gift to cause man to choose to disobey God. Sin results from the influence of the evil nature of man on his good image given by God. Evil has besmirched and soiled the good image of God, but it cannot overpower it. God understands that this weakness in free will causes this influence of evil on man's good image which constitutes the nature of sin in man.
God is wholly innocent and good. God created man to be innocent and good. God did not know about this weakness in free will when He gave it as a good gift to Lucifer. God meant for this good gift to be used by Lucifer to create any good system he desired. Lucifer misused God's good gift of free will to choose to rebel against God. God cannot make mistakes, but the Devil believes that He did when He gave Lucifer free will. The Devil's goal is to use evil to overpower and annihilate a part of God's goodness and thereby prove that God's Love cannot be Almighty. Satan believes that if God is not Almighty, then eventually he will find a way to murder God and assume control of His universe. Isaiah 14:12-17.
The fact that God did not know about this weakness in free will does not mean that God is not omniscient. God possesses infinite knowledge of all that is good and creative. God knew nothing about evil until it suddenly emerged in Lucifer. Evil is wholly negative and destructive. God could not know about it because, in a sense, it is the opposite of knowledge. Evil somehow emerged from a place of total emptiness and darkness, that the Bible calls the bottomless pit, to take control of Lucifer and cause him to misuse his free will to rebel against God. Ezekiel 28:14-15; II Thessalonians 2:7.
God could see that Lucifer's excessive pride would never allow him to repent and seek God's forgiveness. Therefore, God had to dissolve Lucifer's system, recover all of His goodness that He had put into him, and cast him to earth as a totally evil and demonic being called Satan. But God had a good reason to cast him to earth because God had a plan to use him in the future to test His Love to prove that evil can never annihilate any of his creations. God had to test His Love because its almighty power had been brought into question by Lucifer's rebellion. God also meant to devise a plan whereby He could forever purge all forms of evil from His creations and forever block its entrance into His creations by casting it all into the lake of fire where torment would preoccupy its negative being forever. Ezekiel 28:16-19; Revelation 20:11-15.

Commentary on the Book of Job part forty one
Job 21:1-34
In Job 21:30-34, Job informed his friends about his revelation from God that someday God will judge the wicked in His day of wrath. A multitude of the wicked will go to their graves, but someday they all will stand before God to be judged. Job's prophecy will be fulfilled as recorded in Revelation 20:11-15. In that future judgment, God will cast the spiritually dead, who are totally evil, into the lake of fire forever.
God will cast only the spiritually dead into the lake of fire. God will recover His living image that He has put into every man for Him to recreate. In order to do this, God will use His consuming fire to separate His living image of Himself in everyone still in their graves from their spiritual deaths so that He can recreate those living images as new humans to live on His recreated earth. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Matthew 3:11-12. Revelation 22:11-12 clearly teaches that God will effect an absolute separation of all that is totally evil from all the living goodness that He created to be in every man. God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Romans 11:36. Revelation 22:12 reveals that God will reward "every man" according to his good works. God's Word has to mean exactly that which it states. This verse can only mean that every man will have to be alive and recreated in order for God to reward him. Matthew 16:27; Luke 20:38.

Commentary on the Book of Job part forty
Job 21:1-34
Can any goodness reside in evil itself? All evil can only be totally evil. Since sin attaches itself to the good image of God in every man, then some good can be manifested in sinful acts. For example, adultery is sinful, but a man may genuinely love his mistress. Sin results from a weakness in man caused by his free will, but evil results from an attitude of total rebellion against God. Sin soils and mars the good image of God in man, but evil seeks to annihilate that goodness entirely. God cannot lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14. For this reason, God will exert His almighty love and power to cleanse and save His image in all humans from their sins either by the blood and water from Jesus on the cross or by the use of His consuming fire which resulted from the fact that Jesus left all of the sins of mankind behind when He descended into Hell. Christ had to have accomplished this because He rose immaculate from the dead.
God cannot fail to answer the cry of His Son from the cross in Luke 23:34. God will answer Jesus' cry and save His image in all humans from the weakness of their sins, some by His grace and all others by His consuming fire. God always saves humans from their sins, but God will never save humans from their evil because it is allied with Satan in his desire to murder God. This total evil in humans, which is the same as spiritual death, God will separate from all humans still in their graves and cast it all into the lake of fire forever. Revelation 20:11-15. In the lake of fire, their "worms" will never die. Mark 9:43-49.
In Job 21:26-29, Job turned again to rebuke his false comforters. They had falsely reasoned that Job had to be wicked because of God's punishment of him. But Job informed them that they did not know much about wickedness, and they did not know what happened to the wicked.
