“It is remarkable that the Son of Man and what he means should be associated again and again with righteousness. It seems to be his leitmotif, his chief concern. Only where injustice threatens or has already occurred does such an emphasis on righteousness make any sense. No one, only God, can dispense justice to any noticeable degree, and precisely with regard to him there exists the justifiable fear that they may forget his justice. In this case his righteous son would intercede with him on man’s behalf. Thus 'the righteous shall have peace.' The justice that shall prevail under the son is stressed to such an extent that one has the impression that formerly, under the reign of the father, injustice was paramount, and that only with the son is the era of law and order inaugurated. It looks as though, with this, Enoch had unconsciously given an answer to Job.” [682]
Jung, C.G., R.F.C. Hull (trans.) Answer to Job. Princeton University Press, 1973.
If one were to walk away with anything from this book, take this: God, with his supreme power, can justify any action without regard to His conscience or morality. God struggles with morality of which deeply concerns his creation: man. In order to reach out and truly understand mankind (i.e. morality), God must make himself mortal hence the Christ. This is Jung's answer to Job.
