Job
25 – 26
Verse 25:2 has Bildad keeping on point with his misguided
beliefs:
Bildad: God
rules over all things;
dread is His domain,
God—who
makes peace and order on His own heights.
Blah, blah, blah … this is almost getting
old now. Job tells his friends they are wrong, they ignore him and ratchet up
their opinions. The problem with theology outside the Bible is truth can be
twisted into false beliefs very quickly. God is over all, this is true, but God
did not afflict Job. So it becomes a back and forth between them.
Verse 26:2 has job respond and notice how
this translation states his response:
Job (sarcastically):
What a great help you are to the powerless!
How you have held up the arm that is feeble and weak.
Sounds like the way I would get after this
much repeated “help” like this from my friends. It’s draining sometimes when
things are now simple and what seems logical is not right. In this case Occam’s
Razor is not correct since the simplest explanation is not right. So on we go.
One interesting thing you need to look at
is the notes The Voice have after verse 26:2 … the section they add talks about
hell, sheol and Abaddon. This is something I want to start exploring, if hell
is real or something from pagan religions since many of the words translated as
hell are not true translations. Like Lucifer being a Latin transliteration for
the Morning Star, eventually becomes a name of Satan. May not be 100% correct
when you really start parsing it out. So be on the lookout for verses that
address, hell and the lake of fire.
