Job, Yahweh, Satan, and Sophia

Though some would want me to not consider God and instead relax into a free-floating emptiness, I do consider God. Here we go.
Both Jung and Henry Corbin point to Job's encounter with Yahweh as a definite turning point for Yahweh and his masculine good old boy friendliness with one of his sons, Satan. 
Yahweh tells Satan (on a bet instigated by the boy): take Job and do anything you want to him short of taking his life. The bet was that Job would renounce Yahweh. What's a human to do? You have two celestial powers plotting against you and toying with your life.
Job keeps his integrity while Yahweh loses his cool. Yahweh eventually opens to his femininity through the influence of Sophia (Wisdom). Grace and compassion and mercy come into existence rather than righteous indignation, anger, and vengeance. 
We humans are going through a similar process today. Masculine pussy-grabbing and other violent assertions against all genders, all life, and the Earth Herself are beginning (just beginning) to be supplanted by the powerful energies of Sophia, Feminine Wisdom Goddess. 
This is what Christ was all about.
