What are some characteristics of God in Job 38-39?

What are some characteristics of God in Job 38-39?

Omnipotence
  • God has power to do all things that are according to His character.
  • God cannot be tempted James 1:3
  • God can save anyone who meets His conditions Matthew 19:26
  • In the Old Testament
    • As the Almighty (Ēl Shadday) as in Exodus 6:3
    • As Lord of Hosts (Armies) (Yahweh ṣə·ḇā·’ō·wṯ). In Old Testament times the power, greatest, authority of a king was related to the size of his kingdom, number of soldiers, and the number of people he ruled over. God is seen as having a kingdom, army, and people a number too large to count, thus, omnipotent. Psalm 24:10, etc.
    • As the mighty one ('âbı̂yr). The one who has all strength as in Isaiah 49:26
