Commentary on Job 1:12
God's permission to Satan includes both authorization and limits: 'all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand.' This establishes God's absolute sovereignty—Satan operates only within divinely imposed boundaries. The verse refutes dualism and affirms monotheism: God alone is sovereign. The limitation reveals divine compassion—God doesn't abandon Job to unlimited suffering but carefully controls the test's parameters. This theological principle appears throughout Scripture: God uses even evil for His purposes (Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28).
