Question for Monarch 441:
If Job was speaking of redeeming himself, then why would he speak in the third person here? If he were speaking of himself, shouldn’t he have worded his statement like this, “I know that I will redeem myself and I shall stand at last upon the earth”?
Also, please remember that when Job was restored, God told Job to offer a sacrifice for his friends and councilors so that their offenses would be forgiven.

The only redeemer is Christ Himself. Job was speaking Prophetically

Verses 23-29 The Spirit of God, at this time, seems to have powerfully wrought on the mind of Job. Here he witnessed a good confession; declared the soundness of his faith, and the assurance of his hope. Here is much of Christ and heaven; and he that said such things are these, declared plainly that he sought the better country, that is, the heavenly. Job was taught of God to believe in a living Redeemer; to look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come; he comforted himself with the expectation of these. Job was assured, that this Redeemer of sinners from the yoke of Satan and the condemnation of sin, was his Redeemer, and expected salvation through him; and that he was a living Redeemer, though not yet come in the flesh; and that at the last day he would appear as the Judge of the world, to raise the dead, and complete the redemption of his people. With what pleasure holy Job enlarges upon this! May these faithful sayings be engraved by the Holy Spirit upon our hearts. We are all concerned to see that the root of the matter be in us. A living, quickening, commanding principle of grace in the heart, is the root of the matter; as necessary to our religion as the root of the tree, to which it owes both its fixedness and its fruitfulness. Job and his friends differed concerning the methods of Providence, but they agreed in the root of the matter, the belief of another world.

Job is actually the first book historically of the Bible and he answers the most important question mankind has for God.
Why do good men suffer if they are good
The answer is not what you would expect either, 3 of Jobs friends came to him to comfort him and to justify themselves to him as being correct and right as all religious people do and also to tell Job that because he is a sinner and he was evil is the only reason these bad things would happen.
But after much discussion or arguement Job stands up and the pressures of life forced him to speak the very words of your question, This was a revelation and the reason God caused all these troubles for Job, so he would understand God in a much better way.
But before it all happened God was sitting in Heaven saying how perfect Job was to Satan, so you might ask then why else did this happen if Job was so perfect; Job 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

God was testing Job's friends to see if they understood God also, but in the end the friends were all wrong and God told Job if he didn't pray for them they were as good as dead men.Job42:7 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
But his revelation was that Jesus Christ a man would come and make a way back to God in Heaven for humanity.

Job is referring to redeeming himself, by sticking to the truth. In that Job's companions have persecuted and falsely accused Job, through their own idolatry, (in which they judge Job as if they were God Himself) their lies have backfired and have had the effect of making Job into God. This is to be their reward for their idolatry, that Job would be elevated to the status of God, through their sins of blasphemy.

He was speaking of Jesus. God set aside His glory and came to earth in the form of a human being, died on the Cross and arose from the dead to save all that would place their trust in Him. God has always been.

Job
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet [e] in [f] my flesh I will see God;

27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!

In which he comes to Earth in the form of Jesus

Job was speaking of the same one Abraham spoke of when he said...The lord would provide himself a lamb. The same one David spoke of when he said the lord said to my lord set thee on my right side till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Our lord and savior Jesus Christ
