I don't see that angels have authority - they do G-d's bidding - just as Satan did with Job, despite Harold's claim. If you read the text, it is clear that Satan twice asked G-d's permission to test Job, and got the permission, with conditions, which Satan followed. No rebellion, no doing anything without G-d's permission, no authority to do anything without G-d's permission.


HH: Nothing at all happens without God's permission, but both men and some angels act contrary to the moral will of God. He permits these things to happen to accomplish a greater good, but they are acts of rebellion against God. God does not want murder, so when Satan inspires murder, he is rebelling against God. He did not ask permission for people to murder, but God allowed it.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
