Characterization of God throughtout The Old Testiment

The Story of Job is different and similar to many of the stories that we have previously have read from the Old Testiment.  One way that the Book of Job is similar to other stories is because in the story of Abraham and Isaac, God wants to text the faith of Abraham by making him sacrifice something he loves.  Similarly, in the book of Job, God wants to test Job's faith by taking away almost everything that he has, to see if he will still be loyal to God.  Another way that the Book of Job is similar to the other books that we have read is by God acting almost the same in all of the books.  In every story, God wants to be in full control of the situation, and be the most powerful on Earth.  This is shown in the Book of Job when God allows all of Job's belongings to be taken and be left with nothing.  This also occurs in Noah's ark when he creates the flood to kill everybody.  In the Tower of Babel, God shows his power by spreading out all of the men because they were getting to strong.  A difference in the Book of Job and the other books that we have read is now, God is listening to Satan.  But in all the other stories, God did what he want, and no one could tell him different.  Another difference in the Book of Job than the other stories that we've read is that in this book Satan almost has the upper hand on God and acts as the stronger figure.  In all of the other stories, Satan doesn't exist.
