Job 37:9-10

 

 

9 Out of the south [cheder] cometh [bow'] the whirlwind [cuwphah]: and cold [qarah] out of the north [mazareh].

10 By the breath [nashamah] of God ['el] frost [qerach] is given [nathan]: and the breadth [rochab] of the waters [mayim] is straitened [muwtsaq]. KJV-Interlinear

 

 

9 'Out of the south comes the storm, And out of the north the cold. 10 'From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen. NASB

 

 

Does God lean down and swirl his hands through the atmosphere to cause weather patterns? No. He has created a storehouse of energy which helps drive the weather.

 

'Out of the south,' is a phrase referring to a storehouse, a chamber in the feminine as in a womans private bedroom. Here the energy of the storm is built up and stored until such time as it is called upon.

 

'Out of the north,' refers to a scattering. Here the winds of the north scatter, disburse, agitate, stir up the weather patterns.

 

Elihu most likely did not understand the role played by the energy of the sun, the role of the oceans absorbing that heat energy, the role of the north polar regions, the role of the high altitude jet stream winds, the role of the deep ocean currents that circumnavigate the planet and so forth.

 

But Elihu did understand that God in His creative wisdom, had created storehouses and systems that gathered and carried out the many weather patterns and cycles that he, Elihu, had observed during his lifetime.

 

He did not attribute these things to natural phenomena, or events of chance, or things which occurred apart from Gods consent or will.

 

'From the breath of God,' refers to His will and power.

 

The storms of planet earth are heated up, stirred up, freeze and thaw, not on their own, but by the will of God and for no other reason.

 

The 'expanse' of the waters is a reference to the freezing of water, snow, rivers, lakes and so forth. The weather can become so cold that rivers and lakes or large bodies of water can freeze solid.

 

The whole point of all of this, is that nothing can happen unless God wills or permits it to happen.

 

Weather is the most common event that everyone around the world can be familiar with, and so everyone who reads this chapter of Job, must be able to relate to weather patterns.

 

Likewise, every person on the planet is able to see the magnitude of giant weather events, and know that no human being is capable of duplicating anything weather related. Man (rainmakers included) simply does not possess that capability of causing weather, let alone controlling the various storehouses of energy and activity that drive weather or climate trends.

End Of Lesson

Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
