Job 38:31 - 4-:24 - When God Asks the Questions (Session 39)

from Reasoning Through the Bible · host Glenn Smith and Steve Allem

In this verse-by-verse study of Job 38:31–40:24, Reasoning Through the Bible continues through one of the most humbling sections in all of Scripture as God keeps questioning Job about the stars, the weather, the mind, the wild animals, and the structure of the world. After Job had demanded answers, the Lord turns the questions around and shows just how little man understands about the universe he lives in. This session explores the constellations, the ordinances of heaven, the complexity of the human mind, the instincts of mountain goats, ostriches, horses, hawks, and eagles, and then moves into Job’s first response of silence before God. The message is not merely that creation is impressive. The message is that the Creator is beyond human correction. The episode also addresses Job’s pride, the problem of evil, why people think they can judge God, and the significance of the mysterious “behemoth” passage. Most importantly, it shows that when God finally speaks, human self-confidence collapses, and the right response is humility, reverence, and trust. Topics in this episode include: Job 38 explained  Job 39 explained  Job 40 explained  when God asks the questions  constellations and the ordinances of heaven  design in nature  Job’s silence before God  the problem of evil and human pride  behemoth and divine power Reasoning Through the Bible is a verse-by-verse Bible teaching ministry committed to careful exposition, biblical context, and faithful application.Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
