Job’s words here are prophetic. He knew God’s judgements are final. He knew he was a sinner. His question of a mediator bringing him back together with God was answered when Jesus came. Jesus is our Mediator. He is the One who makes us right with God. The One that brings us together with Him. The One Who gives us strength to carry on. I think deep down inside Job knew. He knew God would provide for him. He knew God would rescue and save his soul.
32 “God is not a mortal like me,so I cannot argue with Him or take Him to trial.33 If only there were a mediator between us,someone who could bring us together.34 The mediator could make God stop beating me,and I would no longer live in terror of His punishment.35 Then I could speak to Him without fear,but I cannot do that in my own strength.
Job 9:32-35
