Connect Job 25:2 with another scripture highlighting God's supreme authority. The heartbeat of Job 25:2 • “Dominion and awe belong to Him; He establishes peace in His heights.” (Job 25:2) • Bildad’s brief declaration centers on two realities: – God’s absolute dominion – His right to rule everywhere and over everyone. – God’s ability to secure peace – order that flows from His throne downward. Parallel witness: Psalm 103:19 • “The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.” (Psalm 103:19) • Notice the seamless agreement: – Job speaks of dominion; the Psalmist pictures a throne established. – Job points to awe; the Psalmist underscores rule “over all.” – Both verses locate authority in heaven yet affecting earth. Why pairing these verses matters • They confirm that God’s supremacy is not a passing observation but a consistent biblical theme. • Together they reveal a two–fold pattern: – Authority (throne/dominion) – Administration (peace/rule) Living implications • Confidence – Because His kingdom “rules over all,” nothing escapes His control. • Reverence – Awe grows when we remember that even heavenly realms submit to Him. • Rest – The same God who rules establishes peace; His sovereignty is not harsh but harmonizing. Additional scriptures that echo the theme • Daniel 4:35 – God “does as He pleases… No one can restrain His hand.” • Colossians 1:17 – “In Him all things hold together.” • Revelation 19:16 – “King of kings and Lord of lords.” The unbroken testimony: from Job’s ancient cry to David’s song, from prophets to apostles, Scripture affirms the one unrivaled authority of our Sovereign God. |
