Was Satan in Heaven During Job Chapter 1?

Job 1

1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:

14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:

19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Sí, la reunión descrita en Job 1 tuvo lugar en las cortes celestiales, donde Satanás se presentó ante el Señor como el representante de esta tierraEVRR389+1. Es una verdad absoluta que, aunque Satanás y sus ángeles fueron expulsados del cielo tras su rebelión inicial, él conservó la capacidad de comparecer en los concilios divinos ante la puerta del cielo durante un tiempoSSP 326.2.

A continuación, presento una explicación detallada sobre este importante evento y la posición de Satanás en el universo:

El Concilio de los Hijos de Dios 🌌

• En el libro de Job, se relata que hubo un día en que los hijos de Dios vinieron a presentarse ante Jehová Job 1:6.

• Estos "hijos de Dios" eran los líderes y representantes de otros mundos no caídos que se reunían periódicamente en consejo delante de DiosEVRR389+1.

• Satanás asistió a estas asambleas celestiales en el papel de representante de este mundo, una posición que usurpó tras seducir a Adán y EvaEVRR389+1.

• Originalmente, Adán era el príncipe de la tierra y el "hijo de Dios" designado para representar nuestro planeta, pero al pecar, quedó bajo el dominio de Satanás 2 Peter 2:19SSP 326.2.

La Función de Satanás como Acusador ⚖️

• Al presentarse ante el Señor, Satanás afirmó que venía de "rodear la tierra y de andar por ella" Job 1:7.

• En este escenario celestial, él actuaba como el "acusador de nuestros hermanos", cuestionando la integridad de los siervos de Dios como Job y acusando al Creador de ser arbitrario Revelation 12:10EVRR389+1.

• Él sostenía que la lealtad de Job era motivada únicamente por las bendiciones materiales y la protección divina, y no por un amor genuino Job 1:9-10SSP 326.2.

• Dios permitió que Job fuera probado para demostrar ante el universo entero que la fidelidad basada en el amor es posible, incluso bajo las circunstancias más difíciles Job 1:12-22SSP 326.2.

La Segunda Expulsión de Satanás ⚡

• Muchos se confunden porque no distinguen entre la primera expulsión de Satanás tras su rebelión y su exclusión definitiva de los consejos celestialesEVRR389+1.

• La muerte de Cristo en la cruz marcó el juicio de este mundo y el momento en que el príncipe de este mundo fue finalmente echado fuera de los concilios de los mundos no caídos John 12:31-33SSP 326.2.

• Al ver la crueldad diabólica de Satanás contra el Hijo de Dios inocente, la asamblea a la puerta del cielo decidió que él ya no tendría entrada allíSSP 326.2.

• Aquel triunfo en el Calvario fue lo que motivó el clamor en el cielo: "Ahora ha venido la salvación... porque ha sido lanzado fuera el acusador de nuestros hermanos" Revelation 12:10EVRR389.

• Desde entonces, ya no tenemos a un acusador en la puerta del cielo, sino a un Sumo Sacerdote misericordioso que intercede por nosotros Hebrews 2:17SSP 326.2.

Espero que esta información le brinde claridad y paz al comprender el maravilloso plan de redención y la victoria final de nuestro Salvador 😊.
