Commenting only on:
"Where does it say that God removed the hedge? Job feared and took upon himself the sanctification of his family: Job left the protection of the hedge."
DO the math.
God points out Job to satan, and asks: "Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?"
Satan says: "Hast not thou (God) made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?" SO the "hedge" was solidly in place EVEN THOUGH Job had all these "Bad profession" issues!!
And God says: "Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand."
SO WHO is tearing down the hedge??? CLUE: it's not Job, it's GOD HIMSELF giving satan selective access to Job's STUFF - but NOT to Job himself -yet.
It really couldn't be any clearer in the Word y'all.
Honestly, we both make supposition over who did anything with the hedge. Satan made an observation. NOTHING says that God responded to it.
Next, and I'm "just sayin'," but who said that Job was in fear at the time Satan made his observation to God? Satan's observation is in 1:9; Job doesn't admit to the fear until chapter 3 (late in it too). Obviously the effects of whatever the cause are felt back in chapter 1....but, let's look....
Job 3:20-26 (with v25 the "fear" verse)
20 “Why is light given to him who is in misery,
And life to the bitter of soul,
21 Who long for death, but it does not
come,
And search for it more than hidden treasures;
22 Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad when they can find the grave?
23
Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
And whom God has hedged in?
24 For my sighing comes before I eat,[
b]
And my groanings pour out like water.
25 For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me,
And what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, for trouble comes.”
Yes, verse 25 is the "fear" verse. Hmm, verse 23 mentions the hedge. No mention of God lifting it -- only that God put one there.
Why do we (you OR I) think that the hedge has moved at all???
Job 1:8-12
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”
9 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? 10 Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!”
12 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.”
So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
Nothing! God commends Job as blameless and upright. Satan OBSERVES that there is a hedge -- tells God to stretch out His hand...
But, NOTHING about God stretching out His hand; NOTHING about a removal of the hedge. No movement from God at all.
Only an admission that Satan already has power in the earth -- but that God's protection is on the person of Job; Satan cannot touch him. Does that sound like a hedge removal??
Satan went, realizing that there was much he could to to make suggestions to Job to disparage God, to put thoughts into his head that God had forgotten him, to give him the idea that God has withdrawn. Satan even got Job's wife to take the bait and start pestering him.
Did God remove the hedge? Nope. It is up in chapter 1; it is up in chapter 3.
So how did Satan get to him? Well: Job feared. Job claimed without evidence ("it may be that") that his sons had sinned and cursed God in their hearts (1:5). Job took it upon himself to sanctify them, to make burnt offerings, all in the name of fear, all in the name of "it may be that..."
No, God didn't lift the hedge; Job probably didn't lift the hedge. But he certainly walked around it, out of the protection, and smack dab into the middle of the curse that came upon him and his.
