Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake as in the days of old, the generations of long ago.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Was it not you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the dragon? Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a pathway for the redeemed to cross over? Although some theologians and translations point to this Rahab as a symbol of Egypt, and others contend this a mythological creature, Its idea of the dragon signifies something greater than a nation or a myth.
speaker_3NARRATOR
And, again, we know that gods or spirits in the world of mythology are many times actual demon entities that wreak havoc in the earth.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Rahab is one such demon, a marine demon that attacks during times of crossing over.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Rahab is clearly associated with a dragon spirit in Isaiah 51, 9-10.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Eliot's commentary for English readers suggests Egypt invoked a god named Ra from the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Isaiah seems to be asking God to raise up against the oppression upon the Israelite people like he did against the Egyptians.
speaker_3NARRATOR
In the New International Version, Job 9.13 speaks of Rahab.
Dane OrtlundHOST
When its waves rise, you still them.
Dane OrtlundHOST
You crushed Rahab like a carcass.
Dane OrtlundHOST
You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
Dane OrtlundHOST
The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours, the world and all that is in it.
Jenn KokalHOST
God will not withdraw his anger.
Jenn KokalHOST
The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
Jenn KokalHOST
How much less will I answer him and choose my words to argue with him? God is so angry that he does not withdraw his anger, is what Job is saying.
Jenn KokalHOST
And even the sea monster and all of the sea monster's worshipers cannot stand up to God, though the sea monster was considered by pagan sources in the days of Job to be the most powerful, dangerous, and chaotic entity, which Job is kind of obsessed with sea monsters.
Jenn KokalHOST
Yeah.
Jenn KokalHOST
He really is because every single speech he's given so far, he's mentioned a sea monster.
Jenn KokalHOST
And I forgot to mention that the word Rahab is just another name for Leviathan, by the way.
Jenn KokalHOST
So hopefully I didn't confuse you guys too much with that.
speaker_2HOST
Awake as in the days of old, the generations of long ago.
speaker_2HOST
Was it not you who chopped Rahab in pieces, who pierced the dragon? Was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a pathway for the redeemed to cross over? So the ransomed of Yahweh will return and come with joyful shouting to Zion, and everlasting gladness will be on their hands.
speaker_2HOST
They will obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
speaker_2HOST
So here we see this prayer for deliverance, praying to God and saying, are you not the God who did all these things? Are you not the God who overcame Rahab? Rahab is often used to refer to Egypt, and that's probably the case here.
speaker_2HOST
If you look at Psalm 87.4, you see that.
speaker_2HOST
And then this constant theme that comes up It says, was it not you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a pathway for the redeemed to cross over? Talking about crossing the Red Sea.
Jackson LaneHOST
or...
John OrtbergGUEST
or Rahab, or the dragon.
John OrtbergGUEST
You don't see them in Genesis 1.
John OrtbergGUEST
You see them later.
Dane OrtlundHOST
Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God.
Dane OrtlundHOST
Selah Among those who know me, I mention Rahab and Babylon.
Dane OrtlundHOST
Behold Philistia and Tyre with Cush.
Dane OrtlundHOST
This one was born there, they say.
Timothy AppelHOST
Who can turn him back? Who will say to him, What are you doing? God will not turn back his anger.
Timothy AppelHOST
Beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.
Timothy AppelHOST
How then can I answer him, choosing my words with him? Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him.
Timothy AppelHOST
I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.
14 MINS LATER
Timothy AppelHOST
He moves on, but I do not perceive him.
Timothy AppelHOST
So, you know, Job was just not able to get a sense of who, of like what God is up to right now.
Timothy AppelHOST
And he mentioned in verse 13, the helpers of Rahab.
Timothy AppelHOST
Maybe just kind of take us through those verses.
Amos J. DisasaHOST
the sacred texts of the Hebrew people in our Old Testament, well, there you'll find that the Psalms, those hymns and songs that we hold to be sacred, remember the sea as a monster that God had to subdue.
Amos J. DisasaHOST
You got Rahab, Leviathan, the dragon in the waters.
Amos J. DisasaHOST
When Daniel dreamt of empire and had a vision of empire, what he saw was a beast climbing up out of the sea.
Amos J. DisasaHOST
And so the sea feeds life and it also swallows life whole, taking bodies and feeding them without asking permission to do either.
Paul CoxGUEST
experienced that for several days.
Paul CoxGUEST
And then I felt the deliverance off of Leviathan, Behemoth, Rahab, and also Strongman.
Paul CoxGUEST
And it lasted until last Wednesday.
Paul CoxGUEST
So it lasted for, I think, 24 or 25 days.
Brian LeeHOST
Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God.
Brian LeeHOST
Among those who know me, I mention Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, and Tyre with Cush.
Brian LeeHOST
You see, all these same nations are listed by the psalmist.
Brian LeeHOST
And of Zion, it will be said, "This one was born there." No, you weren't born in Egypt.
