Job:
Let’s take King David and his psalms. If you look into the table of contents of the bible you would find that the books of Job, Psalms, and Proverbs are right next to each other. One time I was holding a bible browsing at its contents. As I was running my right thumb against the edges of the pages I happened to stop at a certain segment of the book where it had listings of the books of the bible on one column, and the corresponding authors on another column. It’s interesting to me, since the bible that I personally use at that time, didn’t have such an added reference. So, I continued browsing on the page. What I learned is that most books have corresponding authors namely, King David for the Psalms, the Proverbs for his son King Solomon but there was a blank space corresponding the book of Job. And so I researched further as to who wrote the book of Job.
The kingdom of David has been an all time grace until his son’s last years. And I could say, that like any other king or ruler, any king could promulgate anything at his disposal. In this case, David has "something" that we never thought we would ever come to know-the character Job. The book of Job I have deduced to be a holy and wise, spiritual propaganda by king David to elicit faith in God during times of hardships, pain, and suffering. Fabricating fictitious personality to come up with real life scenarios of good versus evil.
Why was there no author? As an honest person and great holy king at that, he would rather give up a little bit of the virtue of honesty in exchange for greater importance to all. Like having given up self-gratification for his peoples’ salvation. Unlike myself he knew there was a creature Satan all along, which is also why he just rather wrote incarnate personalities and events to send the message of faith and trust in God no matter what conditions in life may be. This made him consoled of his fabrication of Job.

Jesus at the Mountain:
Ever since I have envisioned key verses to put Satan away, I have become sensitively vigilant about scriptural narratives mentioning Satan. Christ documented incident on the mountain with Satan primarily conveys trust in God and His words and the vanity of earthly gains. Christ all the time teaches the kingdom of God every time.
A mountain is a mighty great high place. If we get the adjectives and characteristics I just mentioned and coupled them with the visions and accounts of Christ, it insinuates attention to and a metaphor about coming from a great, mighty, lofty aspirations or principle. Like, from a mountain. The application of natural environment equivalent to their present age could show us how to identify their ideals.

It tells us about the same thing what the book of Genesis, Psalms, and Revelation, and among other books in our Holy Scriptures, regardless of what religious group or faith or religion we belong. We have all the earth as our blessings from God. The equation we are looking at here is EARTH (men and materials)+ GOD= GOOD LIVING.
However, in the past and even today, although we have an advanced science and technology and superior human behavioral understanding we still miss the important message of life-the ultimate LOVE for our neighbors. Hence, war and hate is still evident. An understanding from the grassroots level of life’s essence away from all apprehensions that come from uncertainties which come from darkened or clouded ideas, shall make men live as humans and place predation in oblivion-as our life's principle.
We have been promised serendipity, a new heaven and a new earth where life of all forms could live invariably happy. It is possible. "But what good is a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul http://bible.cc/matthew/16-26.htm (Mathew 16:26)?" Our Savior’s account with the scriptural narrative with Satan has all got something to do with this possibility of gaining the whole world (besides it is written for us to have, anyway). We have come to know that Satan’s personality is fictitious, yet most potent, compared to that of Lucifer who was sent out from "heaven."
Even more, most potent than the term evil which is rather casual, as it just is, an adjective. Lucifer is a fallen angel, we say. In our previous discussions we mentioned about angels. Lucifer is one hell of a guy, who really existed but was associated with Satan (who do not exist). Satan has been put in men’s thoughts and feelings, far more earlier than any evil character, like Lucifer, in all of the Holy Scriptures.

However, men should, and must know that heaven is a place where God’s precepts are followed, obeyed and where they emanate from. Meaning, where lives of men being dependent on the righteousness of church and government. It is written that God made the heavens and the earth and that He shall make "you an iron scepter, and dash nations like pottery http://bible.cc/revelation/12-5.htm (Revelation 12:5; Psalm 2:9) http://bible.cc/psalms/2-9.htm"-one who invest in royal authority.
Common to our knowledge, we see every now and then influential people-people in government and church who fall down and are cast away from there prominent positions for wrongdoings. Lucifer was like it, in his time. A classified personality who, just what the Holy Scriptures say, became a dissident in the system, and eventually was cast out from the sacred human affair during the olden era. He is not Satan but has turned evil, since we know Satan is, again, a fictitious “spiritual” personality, which has been put to curb holiness.
I mentioned “spirit-proof" gimmick or strategy a while back. If you notice how substance and form invoke daunting realization-with a natural embodiment of a real person who is Lucifer and its association with Satan all sum up to a complete form of a being-a being-Satan personified by Lucifer. Which is so strong as these factors-in and rivet into humanity as we also have this spiritual substance (soul) and form (body). And the only thing we have to enlighten ourselves is whether we are either in the side of good or evil. The Iron Scepter shall make us realize that we are meant to live that life everlasting-in both substance and form.
Going back to Jesus, the story did not mention anything like another Lucifer who is trying to kill Him by persuading Him to jump a cliff or anyone of that sort. Instead, the scriptures highlight the spiritual importance of living our lives. We know we are God made with all God’s splendor and grace, since all men would rather cling to goodness/holiness.
