Then, the Lord Answered Job Out of the Whirlwind |
Job 38:1-41 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks] |
Then, the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, & said, Who is this that [darkens] counsel [through] words without knowledge. [Job 34:35 Job has spoken without knowledge, & his words are without wisdom.] |
[Belt] up your [waist] now, like a man; for I will demand [questions] of you, & you [will] answer Me. Where [were] you when I laid the foundations of the earth? [Explain,] if you [have] understanding. [Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth. And the earth was without form, void; & darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the [Holy] Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters.] |
Who [has] laid [the earth’s] [measurements,] if you [know?] Or Who [has] stretched the [measuring] line upon it? [Upon what] are the earth's foundations fastened? Or Who laid the cornerstone [of the earth's foundation?] [Psalm 33:6-9 The heavens were made by the Word of the Lord, & all the host, [a.k.a. stars, & constellations,] of them [were made] by the breath of His mouth. He [gathers] the waters of the sea together, [like a] heap. He [lays] up the [deep] in storehouses. Let all the earth fear, [a.k.a. respect,] the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For [the Lord God spoke,] & it was done. He commanded, & it stood fast, [a.k.a. tight.] |
When [did] the morning stars [sing] together, & all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or Who shut up the sea with doors, when it [breaks out,] like [it's thrust] out of the womb? [Job 26:10 [God has surrounded] the waters with [boundaries,] until the day & night come to an end.] |
When [did] I [make] the [clouds] [the sea’s] garment, & the thick darkness, [like] a swaddling [blanket] for it, & [broke] [them] up for My [assigned] place [for them,] & [put] bars & doors. [Job 26:7-9 [God binds] up the waters in His thick clouds; & the cloud isn't [torn] under them. He [covers] the [front] of His throne, & [spreads] [out] His cloud upon it.] |
And [I] said, [From now on,] you [shall] come, but no further, & here your proud waves shall [stay?] [Have] you commanded the morning, since your [life began,] & caused the [sun rise] to know [its] place. |
[Psalm 74:16-17 The day is Yours, & the night is also Yours. You have prepared the light & the sun. You have [put] all all the borders of the earth. You have made summer & winter.] |
[So] that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, [so] that the wicked might be shaken out of it. [Job 34:25 Therefore [God knows] their works, [a.k.a. deeds,] & He [overthrows] them in the night, so they are destroyed.] |
It [has] turned [like the] clay [used for] the seal, & they stand [out,] [like] [decorations of] a garment. And their light is [withheld] from the wicked, & the high arm shall be broken. [Proverbs 13:9 The light of the righteous rejoice: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.] |
[Have] you entered into the [fountains] of the sea? Or [have] you walked in search of the [sea's] depth? Have the gates of death been opened to you? Or [have] you seen the doors of the shadow of death? [Have] you [understood] the [width] of the earth? Declare [it to Me,] if you [know] it all. |
Where is the [path to] where light [dwells?] And where is the place for darkness, [so] that you [should] take it to [its boundaries,] & that you [should] know the paths to [its] house? |
[Do] you [know] it, because you [were] born then? Or because the number of your days [are many?] [Have] you entered into the [snow's] treasures [that sparkle like diamonds?] Or [have] you seen the [hail's] treasures, which I have [saved] against the time of trouble, & against the day of battle & war? |
[Joshua 10:11 And it [happened,] as they fled from before Israel, & were going down to Beth Horon, that the Lord cast down [large] stones from heaven upon them [until] Azekah, & they died. [There] were more [who] died [from] the hailstones, than [those] whom the children of Israel [struck down with the sword.] |
By what [path] is light [separated, that scatters] the East wind upon the earth? Who [has] divided a [waterway] for the overflowing waters, or a [path] for [thunders' lightning bolts,] to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is. |
[And to rain] on the wilderness, [in which] there is no man; To satisfy the desolate & [wastelands;] & to cause the tender herb to bud, & [sprout out?] [Does] the rain [have] a father? Or who [has] begotten the drops of dew? |
Out of whose womb [did] the ice [come] [from?] And who [gives birth to] the frost [on the ground] [from] heaven? [Job 37:10 By the breath of God, frost is given, & the [wide expanse] of water is [frozen straight.] |
The waters are [hidden, like] with a [rock,] & the [surface] of the deep [waters] is frozen. [Can] you [fasten] the sweet influences of Pleiades, or [loosen] the bands of Orion? [Can] you bring [out] Mazzaroth [into view in] [its] season? Or [can] you guide Arcturus [a.k.a. The Great Bear constellation,] with his sons? |
[Do] you [know] the [laws] [that control the] [heavens?] [Can] you [put those heavenly influences over] the earth? [Psalm 136:7-9 To Him, [Who] made [the] great lights: for His mercy endures forever. The sun to rule by day: for His mercy endures forever, & the moon & stars to rule [at] night: for His mercy endures forever.] |
[Can] you lift up your voice to the clouds, [so an] abundance of waters may cover you? [Can] you send [lightning, so] that they may go, [& hide,] & say to you, Here we are? |
Who [has] put wisdom [within] [the mind?] Or Who [has] given understanding to the heart? Who can [wisely count] the clouds? Or Who can [prevent the rain] of heaven [from pouring out like] bottles? |
When [does] the dust [turn] [hard,] & the [dirt] clods [cling tightly] together? [Will] you hunt the prey for the lion? Or [satisfy] the appetite of the young lions, when they crouch [down] in their dens, & [stay] [hidden] in the [shelter,] & lie in wait [to ambush?] |
Who [provides] his food for the raven? When [its] young ones cry [out] to God, they wander for lack of meat, [a.k.a. food.] [Psalm 147:9 [God] gives to the [animal its] food, & to the young ravens which cry [out.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:
Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV.
Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning.
For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.
The Table Format:
The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.
