Joe: Alright, so what’s up with Job 26?

Bible Expert: Well, Job 26 is a chapter in which Job defends himself against the accusations of his friends. He claims that God is the one who has the power to make and break nations, to spread out the heavens, to rule over the sea, and to bring death and destruction upon the wicked.

Joe: Damn, that’s powerful stuff.

Jamie: Yeah, sounds like it.

Joe: Wow, so what’s the deal with that?

Bible Expert: Well, Job is basically saying that God is in control of all the powers in the universe, and that even though his friends may think that Job is being punished for his sins, it is actually God who is in charge. He is basically affirming God’s greatness and sovereignty.

Joe: That’s interesting. Are there any other key points in this chapter?

Bible Expert: Yes, Job also talks about how God binds up the waters and holds them back so that they don’t flood the earth. He also talks about how God created the north and south poles, and how God supports the sky and the clouds. He also talks about how God protects the world from the forces of chaos.

Joe: Wow, that’s amazing. So, what’s the takeaway from this chapter?

Bible Expert: The takeaway is that God is in control of everything and that no matter what disasters may come our way, God is always there to protect us.
