279) There is no one like him on the earth and a wealthy farmer
Job 9
Job said in reply: “For a fact I know that this is so. But how can mortal man be in the right in a case with God? If someone wishes to argue with Him, That one could not answer one of His questions in a thousand. He is wise in heart and mighty in power. Who can resist him and come off uninjured? He moves mountains without anyone knowing it; He overturns them in his anger. He shakes the earth out of its place, So that its pillars tremble. He commands the sun not to shine And seals off the light of the stars; He spreads out the heavens by himself, And he treads upon the high waves of the sea. He made the Ash, the Kesil, and the Kimah constellations, And the constellations of the southern sky; He does great and unsearchable things, Wonderful things that cannot be counted. He passes by me, and I cannot see him; He moves past me, but I do not discern him. When he snatches something, who can resist him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’ God will not restrain his anger; Even the helpers of Rahab will bow down to him.
- Just stop thinking for a while!
- Stay calm for a while!
- And don’t move!
- Close your eyes!
- Open your mind!
- Think about the earth: it has water and life everywhere!
- Think about our solar system!
- Think about the moon: it is barren!
- Think about Venus: it is burning hot and nothing can survive there!
- Think about Mercury: it can be very hot and very cold at the same time!
- Think about the sun: its size is equal to 1 million planets like the earth!
- Think about Mars: it is a dead planet!
- Think about Jupiter: a thousand times bigger than the Earth and it is made of gas and it has the biggest storm of the solar system!
- Think about Saturn: it is also made of gas and it is just slightly smaller than Jupiter and it has the most extensive ring system of any planet in the solar system!
- Think about Uranus: it is the coldest planet in the solar system with -224°C!
- Think about Neptune: it has the strongest winds in the solar system and it is the second coldest planet in the solar system with -214°C!
- And many more solar systems!
- And many more black holes!
- And many more galaxies!
- Journey through the universe beyond the speed of light
- And then read Job's words again!
- And then we may understand them!
