Not enough for you? How about this? But wait, there's more: "terror dances before it" and "its heart is as hard as stone" , Hmmm…what could take on this kind of sea beast?
A storm god, perhaps? And that's just what God is. But why does God spend his time talking about this thing? Maybe because this sea monster embodies untamed, natural chaos; it's malevolent, evil, and totally destructive. God is basically telling Job, "Look, man. I am the only thing standing between you and this vast, powerful creature that wants only your destruction.
This planet could have been home to life forms even a civilization that were a creation of fallen angels who interbred with humans. Their technology could have transported people there even, theoretically. If chunks of that planet were large enough ISON is perhaps a herald for the return of yeah "planet X" Rahab When this planet gets close enough us, or, what is left of it, anthing that might be riding along with it just may, no, probably may, try to land here.
All speculation A planet was once where that asteroid belt is But the question is, where did it go? Did it burn up in the sun? Did it go into an extreem orbit? This leads me to think Sep 26, Sep 27, Sep 30, As some have already mentioned, Rahab is a mythological name for the chaos of the sea not to be confused with woman Rahab, which comes from a completely different Hebrew name.
It is a typical creation myth that serves to show who the big, bad god is: the one that overpowers, destroys, or divides the sea. Job 26 is drawing heavily on that whole mythological idea. This is obvious because of the context. We see the same thing elsewhere You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. Thus, the Sea through which the Israelites crossed is seen as a type of the chaos that God subdued all the way back at the beginning of creation.
A similar idea can be seen in Job 9. God is described as mighty and powerful. He creates the constellations and does numerous unfathomable things No one is able to question him Even those who support Rahab, cower There, Rahab is obviously linked to the same idea of God's ultimate might and his ability to do what he pleases. So, yeah, Rahab is the best translation you can get for that verse and many others.
The name conjurs up a whole entire mythological realm about creation, power, and god's might that the meaning of the word itself afflicter cannot even begin to represent. A translation like "proud" really misses the whole idea. And "storm" is hardly better.
I always marveled at the texts about behemoth and leviathan in Job, but I forgot about Rahab or I might have missed the reference to a creature. Very interesting 8. Job contends that because he is righteous, and yet God does not appear to save him from torment, therefore God is obviously preventing justice.
Like his three friends, Job is locked into the formula that those who do good are blessed and those who do wickedly are tormented. His friends assume Job is hiding some secret sin. Convinced that he has no sin to hide, Job is looking for more creative answers to this theological breakdown.
It is appearing to Job that God is hypocritical or perhaps just ignorant. Job's situation has taken on the appearance of a trial. The three friends feel that Job has been tried and convicted. Job seems to feel the same and demands his day in court. Job is not in a legal trial however. His is a trial of faith. None of Job's arguements or those of his friends will bring him any closer to a resolution. God will come to resolve the trial when Job declines to answer his final accuser, Elihu Perhaps if my case where set before God.
Given the injustice of my current situation, Job reasons, I can't get a fair trial, unless there is an arbitrator or mediator between God and myself
