“When The Infinite Speaks”

Reference: Job Chapter 39

There is no way for a phone to understand the maker of the phone. They are in different dimensions.

Man has always tried to understand God. God cannot be understood, He can only be believed.

God is too high and too deep to be understood. He is infinite and cannot be understood by the finite.

God explains.

Let’s read:

Job 39:1-2 “Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? [2] Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?”

The question was for Job but also for every believer. Finite knowledge is not enough. It takes infinite knowledge to understand God.

We are always learning of God and will forever be learning.

We continue our reading:

Job 39:3-17 “They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. [4] Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. [5] Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? [6] Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. [7] He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. [8] The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. [9] Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? [10] Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? [11] Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? [12] Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? [13] Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? [14] Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, [15] And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. [16] She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; [17] Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.”

God by design gave man wisdom and deprived the beast of wisdom and understanding.  

God in man or woman is Wisdom and Undertaking

Man or woman without God is like the beast; deprived of wisdom and understanding.

We continue our reading:

Job 39:18-28 “What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. [19] Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? [20] Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. [21] He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. [22] He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. [23] The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. [24] He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. [25] He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. [26] Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? [27] Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? [28] She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.”

God has designed the eagle with instincts.  The eagle knows to keep her eaglets on the highest point of a mountain to keep them from any prey.

An instinct no other bird has.
God designed every living thing not at random but with exact specification. He is infinite and we are finite. The finite unites with the infinite only through faith. Hence faith is vital.
No creation of God including angels have the ability to become one with God.

God did not die for angels but for man. A love that we cannot comprehend with our finite minds.

We conclude our reading:

Job 39:29-30 “From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. [30] Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.”

Like God, the eagle places her eaglets in a place where she can see preys before they attack. The eagle fights back to keep her eaglets.

God has placed His children in Christ where no prey has a way of destroying. He does not have to fight the prey. He has already bruised the head of the prey. His children can rest comfortably in His finished work.


Rest in His finished work not by knowledge but by faith. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He is not to be understood but to be believed, in Christ!
