“God will not turn back His anger; Beneath Him crouch the helpers of Rahab. - Job 9 verse 13.
Rahab, in this context, is being taken to mean a great sea monster and so the text's meaning is that in the face of the Lord's anger, even those who are accustomed to being near fearsome entities, cower in fear.
The Lord our God is just and righteous and when injustice and evil dominate a land, the Lord rises in wrath and who can withstand Him?
When fraud, deception and lawlessness are exercised wantonly in a nation, the Lord brings indictments and who can answer Him?
The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.
Bless the Lord who defends those who are His and secures His inheritance among the nations.
Amen.
