What scriptural connections highlight God's unmatched power, as seen in Job 41:26? Leviathan and the lesson of Job 41:26 • Job 41:26 – “The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.” • God describes a creature so impervious to the strongest weapons that humanity stands powerless. • The point: if even Leviathan cannot be subdued by human effort, how infinitely greater is the One who made him (Job 41:10-11). Old-Testament snapshots of the same unrivaled power • Psalm 89:8-10 – “O LORD God of Hosts, who is like You? … You crushed Rahab like a corpse; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.” • Isaiah 40:26-29 – “Lift up your eyes on high and see who created these… Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing… He gives strength to the weary.” • Jeremiah 32:17 – “Ah, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!” • Exodus 15:6 – “Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power; Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy.” • Psalm 104:25-27 – Even the sea and its Leviathan “You formed to frolic there,” all depend on His provision. New-Testament confirmations • Matthew 19:26 – “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” • Ephesians 1:19-21 – The same power “He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead… far above all rule and authority.” • Revelation 19:15-16 – From Christ’s mouth issues a sword that subdues the nations; He is “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Connecting the threads • Human strength fails against Leviathan; divine strength never fails anywhere. • From creation (Genesis 1:1-3) to final judgment (Revelation 19), Scripture presents a seamless testimony: God’s power meets no rival, barrier, or fatigue. • Job 41:26 is one tile in a mosaic that stretches across the Bible, inviting trust, awe, and humble submission before the God whose “power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). |
