GOD SPEAKS God of power “More than meets the eye.”

JOB IS GETTING IT 40:4-5 “I am unworthy- how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I have no answer – twice, but I will say no more.”

JOB IS GETTING IT a finite creature who has no wisdom to run this world and is utterly ignorant of % of its processes has no business instructing his Maker and Ruler how to run the world or even condemning God for the way he runs it.

GOD SPEAKS God of Justice: [Job, can you] “Look at every proud man and bring him low…” (40:11)

GOD SPEAKS: TWO MORE ANIMALS behemoth (beast par exellence) leviathan (large marine creature)

DINOSAURS IN THE BIBLE? Behemoth and Leviathan Figurative or……?

JOB’S CONFESSION 42:2-6 “I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted… surely I spoke of things I did not understand…

JOB’S CONFESSION My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.

JOB’S CONFESSION Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”

GOD’S ABSOLUTION “my eyes have seen you” 19:25 ff. “my redeemer lives… I myself will see him with my own eyes…”

WHAT GOD DOESN’T SAY: A word about Job’s suffering A word about Job’s righteousness A word about Job’s losses

WHAT GOD DOES SAY This is so much bigger and more complex than you can possibly imagine It all happens for a reason, MY reason… though YOU might not get it all I am involved in it all, I am involved in your life

WHAT GOD DOES SAY All this I do out of LOVE. I am your REDEEMER, you cannot save yourself
