What does "the roar of His voice" reveal about God's power and majesty? the verse “After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice; He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.” (Job 37:4) what the roar pictures • A real, audible phenomenon—thunder—so intense it is called God’s voice • A sound that shakes the earth, reminding every listener that the Creator is speaking • Lightning unleashed at the very moment His voice peals, showing word and deed perfectly united power on display • Unstoppable force – no human can silence a storm once it begins • Precise control – “He does not restrain the lightning” yet it never escapes His boundary (Job 38:25) • Sheer volume – louder than oceans or armies, His voice dominates every rival sound (Psalm 29:3-4) majesty revealed • Royal authority – kings send messengers; God speaks directly through sky-wide thunder • Transcendent glory – the heavens serve as His throne room backdrop (Psalm 29:9 “in His temple all cry, ‘Glory!’”) • Awe that humbles creation – even Job, a righteous man, covers his mouth when confronted by this voice (Job 40:4) echoes throughout scripture • “The LORD roars from Zion” (Amos 1:2) – prophetic warning carrying the same earth-shaking weight • “The God of glory thunders” (Psalm 29:3-5) – sevenfold repetition of “voice of the LORD” heightens majesty • “He cried out in a loud voice like the roar of a lion” (Revelation 10:3) – final-era announcement of divine purposes living in the light of the roar • Bow in reverence – His voice still carries absolute authority in Scripture • Trust His might – the One who commands storms can guard every detail of your life (Psalm 107:29-31) • Proclaim His greatness – when God speaks so powerfully, His people should gladly echo His words to the world |
