Job 25-27

It took me just 6 minutes to read this passage. I was struck by the greatness that Job ascribes to God in 26:14. I remeber Elijah's encounter with the whispering God on mount Horeb. The display of physical power that preceeded those words were literally earth-shattering. Job's question is equally compelling to consider; what if God were to raise his voice? When God spoke creation into existence was that amazing display of power from a shout or a whisper? We know what happened when God shouted from the cross; the earth trembled, holy people were resurrected, and the veil of the temple tore. All that from the voice of God in human form. Maybe when God shouts time will cease to be.
