In Job 16:19-22 (The Message) Job says…
"O Earth, don't cover up the wrong done to me! Don't muffle my cry! There must be Someone in heaven who knows the truth about me, in highest heaven, some Attorney who can clear my name—My Champion, my Friend, while I'm weeping my eyes out before God. I appeal to the One who represents mortals before God as a neighbor stands
up for a neighbor.
In this passage 5 words are capitalized…Someone, Attorney, Champion, Friend, and the One. I believe that Job is speaking of Jesus in some sort of prophetic way.
These are the roles that Jesus does on our behalf to the Father. He intercedes for us when we have gotton ourselves into messes and when others attack us as well as when we have sinned.
