Ps. 89.7 tells us God’s place in the Divine Council as opposed to the Job passages which focus on conflict: In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him (NIV).

In Paul’s epistle (Ephesians) he tells the readers the purpose of the New Covenant’s joining two disparate peoples into one was to showcase God’s wisdom to the Divine Council: His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence (Eph. 3.10-12 NIV).
