Job 26: Bildad Gets Jobbed

Job 26:14 "And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"

Job rebukes Bildad. His response is along the lines of "No poop, Sherlock." (This being a Bible site.) Bildad's mastery of the obvious does not slip by Job. Of course God is powerful, awesome, and amazing.

I don't know what Job means by saying Rahab in verse 12 (also mentioned in chapter 9). Some research uncovered that Rahab is apparently the name of a sea monster. I don't know if Job is referring to a local tradition, or if he really thinks Rahab is real. 

This is presumably not the same Rahab who helped the spies escape Jericho in Joshua 2. She was not a sea monster.

Anyway, I like to have this notion of God that Job offers in verse 14. We can behold all these incomprehensible powers and amazing attributes of God, but these are still mere whispers of his power. Which is pretty amazing. I can imagine a lot.
