Job is the zen book of the bible. Really read it carefully, and you find it to be solid rock, with your feet left hanging in space. On the one hand it allows no wiggle room, on the other hand your mind can't do anything but try to wiggle out of it - just like Job tries to do. It is literally an existential struggle.
Also, this planet and humanity may well be a bubble in the universe like you described. Something very unusual is going on here - very, very rare. I think there are many ETs here (both angels and demons) watching our struggle, as a race, across history, in amazement and profound respect. Jesus marked out the playing field - no one is here who's not a part of the game. Denial is rampant, but no one gets to sit on the sidelines.
Job is also the oldest book in the Bible. A lifetime of study and a person could not begin to understand the Book of Job.
