It shows God at the center and the men and spiritual beings from the Old and the New Testaments who are seated there, in power, with him. (See Colossians 1:16-17; Colossians 2:10). ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Job 9 contains the first part of Job's answer to Bildad. Job begins his answer to Bildad, who spoke in the previous chapter (1). He said that no one can be just with God; and no one can overcome his might. God shakes the earth; he stops the sun from rising; he seals up the stars; he spreads out the heavens; he treads on the waves of the sea; he made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; he does wonders without number (2-10). God passed by Job; but Job did not perceive him; (i.e., he missed his opportunity to speak to God). God snatches away; and no one can hinder him. No one can say to him "What are you doing?." Unless God withdraws his anger the proud helpers (or the helpers of Rahab) fall before him; and Job is far less able to stand before God and reason with him. His righteousness is inadequate to stand before God. If he called God; God would not answer him; or, if he did, he would not believe it, because God was breaking him and multiplying his wounds without cause. God was not allowing him to catch his breath; he filled him with bitterness. He asks who could appoint him a time to plead his case before God. And he acknowledges that his own mouth would condemn him and prove him perverse even if he had such an appointment. Instead, the wicked are in control; and God blinds the judges of the earth (11-24). Even though he was "perfect" (i.e., blameless), he loathed his life, because God destroys both the blameless and the wicked; and he disregards the trial of the innocent. And no matter how much Job cleansed himself, God would plunge him into the ditch; and he had no answer for God; nor was he able to come together with God for judgment; and there is no arbiter between him and God. So he asks that God would withdraw his rod and his terror; and he would then have the courage to speak to him (25-35). [ Sermons: Derek Thomas.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
