i may not know the significance within the text of including the story of job in season 2 but it's important to the viewers in building the foundation of why aziraphale made that decision in episode 6 and why it is actually pretty logical given the turn of events: it's hundreds of years of grappling with the boundaries of good and evil and wrapping his head around the faults in the institution of heaven, and yet too early into his journey that a powerful higher entity being minutely considerate could undo quickly — which doesn't exactly discount the famous miracled-coffee theory (i'd say if it were true it just made him more susceptible to certain suggestions, acting less like the means to an end than an insurance) (OR, really, it's just coffee... maybe it's really just the metatron trying to lure aziraphale with food and drinks but obviously not knowing what exactly he liked and disliked but aziraphale considered it a commendable attempt and was nevertheless thankful) but it definitely does provide more dimension to him. he found enough (relative) proof that the systems in place could be changed for the better, found a kind (relative) higher entity in the metatron, and was offered the position to actually make a difference (regretfully also relative... the metatron is too nefarious and God is too #missing and the aforementioned systems in place are thousands of years old of too-fucked-up for aziraphale to succeed as how i imagine he would intend to, but i can sympathize). in his head, he could help the entirety of existence or make heaven a little more compassionate or even altogether call off apocalypse 2.0.
