Not so. Job may be the oldest book ever written ( unless the book of Enoch was written earlier.) Job described 26:7 how god "stretches out the earth over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing." Job describes, in the dawnhow God arranged the heavens, how He created the seas and the universe, the rain,the movement of the waves the lightning....things that men have only recently learned. Job asked, "do you know how light is produced?" (scientists are still baffled)....he describes how the Pleiades are bound, the gravitational pulls that hold them together...he described the continental division...the splittig apart of the lands, how the stars affect the earth...how the big dipper points toward the north--the seat of God...how the whole universe revolves around God's throne, the zodiac and it's influence upon men's affairs. God disclosed to Job, to Enoch, to the early peoples many intricate details about how He created everything and how He set nature into its cycles. Enoch discloses many of God's truths and mysteries, also. The early men understood that God created the world, that He stretched out the heavens...something that many of the astronomers and scientists of our day do not understand.. but truths of the universe that many are beginning to understand. God's early people did not think the earth was flat...they understood more about the universe than many today understand. He created men with an understanding of how He created the world. He disclosed much to them, but also let them know that with their finite minds, they should not expect to understand all His mysteries and His government of the universe. They did understand that if God removed Himself from men's affairs, they would collapse instantly and that God gives us the breath we breathe. Early men were smarter in many ways than modern men. |
