Job

Job Chapter 32 Elihu Rebukes Job in Anger.
Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because Job justified himself before God. Elihu's anger burned against Job's three friends because they had found no answer, and yet they had condemned Job.

Chapter 32 Elihu begins his rebuke.
Chapter 33 Elihu claims to speak for God.
Chapter 34 Elihu vindicates God's justice.
Chapter 35 Elihu sharply reproves Job.
Chapter 36 Elihu speaks of God's dealings with men.
Chapter 37 Elihu says God is back of the storm.

Elihu's final statement:  Job 37:23+24
"The Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power and He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness. Therefore, men fear Him; He does not regard any who are wise of heart." (Elihu's ultimate lie is one that also slanders the character of God!)

I picture God stepping in and putting himself between Job and Elihu, He faces Job but turns His back on Elihu. God does not give Elihu any acknowledgment whatsoever. Elihu is a man who became an agent for Satan. Repentance and forgiveness is neither sought nor offered. Elihu's name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

God's only response to Job regarding Elihu's long dissertation of condemnation and fierce accusations is this: "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?"

In trying to help other believers understand the abilities principalities have in this realm, it is important they are not given any glory nor acknowledgement. I have no need to allow any unclean spirit any response. I keep my communication with them to the simple command that they, "leave in the Name of Jesus."
