Bible Study, Job: The LORD's Discourse Part II

Job 38:39 - 39:30

We examine the end of the creative, geological, astronomical and meteorological presentation of God's wisdom and understanding with the numbering of the clouds and the bottles of heaven, and then it's on the the zoological presentation.

We count the lion, the raven, the wild goat, the hind, the wild ass, the unicorn, the peacock, the ostrich, the horse, the hawk and the eagle. We see in them his wisdom, and follow His understanding through the scriptures, 11 animals in all, in anticipation of number 12, behemoth, and the 13th - Leviathan.

We'll think about how God maintains everything all at once, and contemplate His omniscience. We'll look at the prophecies of power, terror and majesty related to the lion; the picture of the Fall told in the raven; the goat as he symbolizes bounty and sacrifice; the deer and a picture of hope; the donkey and the three fold witness at the triumphal entry; the unicorn and his horn of authority unified authority and power; the peacock and the apex of humanity in the fallen world; the horses of judgment, and the white horse of the LORD's conquest; the hawk bringing judgment from the north, and the eagle that can save, or scavenge.
