Job 37:6-7

 

 

6 For he saith ['amar] to the snow [sheleg], Be thou [hava'] on the earth ['erets]; likewise to the small [matar] rain [geshem], and to the great [matar] rain [geshem] of his strength [`oz].

7 He sealeth up [chatham] the hand [yad] of every man ['adam]; that all men ['enowsh] may know [yada`] his work [ma`aseh]. KJV-Interlinear

 

 

6 'For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.' 7 'He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work. NASB

 

 

And the snow, yet another characteristic of the weather, is commanded by God. Elihu lists these examples to show that it is God who commands the climate of the world, not man, not chance.

 

And while we live in an age where liberal thought is increasing, and liberal thought meaning any thought process which significantly departs from truth (this has nothing to do with politics), and so people are falling into the trap of delusional thinking.

 

Currently we have the global warming issue, but if you believe in the scriptures, if you believe in the principles of dispensations, if you believe these words of Elihu, then you know that the world will never cook (or freeze) itself into oblivion. You know that man can do nothing to destroy the world, whether by atom bombs or by gas guzzling cars.

 

But there will always be those who will attempt to panic the masses into adopting views that have no basis in fact. And in this particular view, the changes are being proposed as changes that will occur far into the distant future. Something that cannot be measured, cannot be verified, and changes that have many contradictions or exceptions.

 

But it is God who commands the snow. 'Fall on the earth.' And with those words from God, the snow falls.

 

Furthermore, God brings about these very simple situations such that man is sealed up. What does that mean?

 

In the winter time, in the spring time, in the hottest of the summer times, when the snows fall thus keeping man indoors, when the rains fall as with the monsoons, when the suns heat is at its highest and man is forced to go indoors and becomes helpless, such that man can realize his helplessness.

 

Being sealed up, means being in a state of helplessness.

 

And the weather, simple as it is, can force man into a helpless state. We cannot control the weather. We cannot control the solar activity of the sun. We cannot control the beat of our own heart. And so Gods brings us back to reality from mans indifference, from mans imagination, from mans apathy, from mans arrogance, from mans stupidity.

 

The hurricanes are supposed to grow stronger, and they do not. The weather is supposed to grow warmer, and it does not. In fact when we look at the weather over long periods of time, even greater and more dramatic weather changes have occurred during times when man barely occupied the planet.

 

God uses the simple to defeat the arrogant. God uses helplessness to demonstrate mans weaknesses.

End Of Lesson

Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
