God and Job
  • Job 38:1-7; 40:1
    • God’s sovereignty over creation (Job 38:1-39:30)
    Dialogue between God and Job (Job 40:1-5)
    • Job immediately responded with humility.
      • God’s sovereignty over creation, continued (Job 40:6-41:34)
      • Compare Job 10:3, 17.
      • Introduction – Job 40:6-14
      • Behemoth – Job 40:15-24
      • Leviathan – Job 41:1-34
      • Behemoth and Leviathan could be extinct dinosaurs. (See https://apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=9&article=184 )
      • It’s very possible that leviathan was actually a fire-breathing animal. Many animals can eject various chemical as defense. One great example is the bombardier beetle (https://youtu.be/W3sxJNt8CYw ).
        • Job’s final response (Job 42:1-6)
        • Job repents and retracts his words.
        • Job 30:19-21 – This might be a place where Job went too far.
          • God’s conclusion (Job 42:7-17)
          • Job 42:7-8 – God refers to Job as His servant. Job’s right speaking here might be his repentance.
          • James 5:10-11 – The story of Job teaches us about God’s compassion and mercy.
          • Job’s role was to stay committed to God. That’s our role as well, regardless of what we face!
