Job Prayed For His 3 Friends. So Who Was Elihu?

Having just repented of my Idolatry, and while still in my prayer closet, God directed me to Job. He had me take note of who was saying what. I differentiated which "comforter" of Job's 3 friends was speaking, when Job answered and the rebukes Elihu gave Job. The Holy Spirit had me notice that Job prayed for his 3 friends: Eliazar, Zofar and Bildad. So who was Elihu? After writing that question down in my bible, I went back and reread what Elihu said.

I sensed right way what God was telling me and His answer was plausible but I felt safe in pondering His answer before speaking of it to anyone. I shared this information with someone after prayer tonight and their response encouraged me so I feel free to write this down.

Elihu was a young man whom Satan used because of his pride and unclean lips. He is filled with the prince of the air due to the pride of his flesh. There is no mention of his arrival, his relation to Job or his departure. God does not recognize him. He only acknowledged him as the one who speaks condemnation lies, mixed within the truth, for the destruction of Job's confidence in God and his blameless position before the Maker.

Pray for all the saints daily, saturate your heart with the truth of God and renounce the lies of the enemy.
