Scripture On Creation podcast

God continues challenging Job in response to things Job had said about the Lord. Thus, in chapter 40 verses 1-14, He repeats back to Job some of what Job had said. Then starting in verse 15, the Lord describes a creature that doesn’t exist—at least today.

In Job 38:33 through chapter 39, the Creator describes the characteristics and abilities of several of the amazing animals He made.

As the Creator challenges Job with His works in creation, Job 38:31-33 reveal some detail about the arrangement of stars in two constellations, the Pleiades and Orion, that astronomers have only discovered in the last few decades.

Job refers to ice and snow more than any other book of the Bible.  Is it because the memory of a recent ice age is fresh in the minds of those living at that time? The idea is discussed.

In Job 38, verses 8-11 seem to refer to God's creative work on Days 2 and 3.  From verse 12 through 30 then, He sites phenomena we know about but can hardly explain--the point being He, the Creator, DOES understand it all.

In Job chapter 38:4-6 the Creator reveals His design for the planet Earth.  In Job 38:7 is the only clue in Scripture about WHEN the angels were created. Verses 8-11 relate to days 2 and 3 of creation.

Dr. Menton explains the wonders of the created eye and the meaning of the BIBLICAL term "apple of the eye."

A few years ago the "Creation Community" lost a great spokesman, Dr. David Menton.  Professor for decades in Washington University (St. Louis) Medical School, and part of Answers In Genesis, his expertise in biological systems is greatly missed.  Dr. Scripture interviewed Dr. Menton in 2019; what we discussed is still totally relevant.

We've come to chapter 38; the point at which the Creator Himself enters the "debate." He speaks to Job in a whirlwind--the sense being the Lord is not going to be gentle.  In verses 4-6 God describes the design of the earth.

Elihu rebukes Job for his arrogance and Job's friends for their mistaken condemnation of Job.  Elihu demonstrates a thorough understanding of the nature of Man, and highlights God's power shown in a thunderstorm.
