Job 36

Good Morning “Seekers of Great Unsearchable Things.”  Today we are in Job 36.

We are a researching, discovering people.  Just think of the things we’ve discovered even within our lifetime.  The interesting thing is, many of these things were outlined in Scripture by our God hundreds, or even thousands of years before man ever “discovered” they were true.

Let me give you some simple examples…

The Earth is round.  Aristotle said it in 384-322BC, Magellan proved it in 1519.  Cool, but The Prophet Isaiah said it first around 739BC (Isaiah 40:22).  

We believe we unearthed and discovered dinosaurs but Job talks about them.  (Job 40:15-)

In 1977 we discovered Hydrothermal vents / springs at the bottom of the ocean.   It took that long for us to build subs / equipment that could withstand the pressure to go that deep.  Job talks about those too in Job 38:16.

In my opinion one of the coolest proofs that Scripture can be trusted is the things God tells us thousands of years before we discover them.  Man, if we would just read The Bible we could save millions of research dollars.

“‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’” Jeremiah‬ ‭33‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Check out what Elihu says here:
“I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe justice to my Maker. Be assured that my words are not false; one who has perfect knowledge is with you.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭36‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Now brace yourself for this piece of science he lays down.  Job discusses the same thing in Job 26:8.  From Elihu, an accurate description of the Hydrologic Cycle.

“How great is God—beyond our understanding!… “He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams; the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind. Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?” Job‬ ‭36‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Early Philosophers hypothesized that all the water in our planet is trapped here and simply cycles.  In the 1500s scientists began making more definitive claims, but it wasn’t until the 1970’s that we had satellites capable of providing proof of what God told us about the Hydrologic Cycle thousands of years ago.    

What’s my point?  Trust!  Have confidence!  Know and stand on The Word!  God and His Word are ALL SUFFICIENT! (Psalm 19).  God KNOWS!

Love you all!  Dig in!
