Ineffable May - Day 11

Book of Job

Most of this is lines from Job 41, reorganized and rephrased. See some gifs interspersed in the lines below the cut for maximum emotional damage.

Day 10 | Ineffable May Repository | Day 12

The mere sight of the leviathan is spellbinding.

His eyes are like the rays of the dawn.

Out of his mouth burning lamps come blinding. When he rises up mighty wills are gone.

The sword that reaches him is naught for minding. To his countenance all who are proud are withdrawn.

Who can tame this serpent so witty?

Who can cause his tongue to be tied?

Who can force him to beg for pity?

Who can make him tenderly confide?

Who can pierce his heart with affinity?

Who dares the doors of his mouth to divide?

Godzilla: An Allegory of Human Frailty

When I was 9 years old, my Dad went out and bought a surround-sound system and a DVD player. I remember my mom being angry he had spent the money, but the kids all gathered around it like the treasure of El Dorado. My siblings and I had heard of such technology, but assumed only rich people had it. You don’t have to rewind the movie once it’s done?! Our 27-inch tube-television didn’t necessarily…

God's Power Shown in Leviathan

1 “Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook    or tie down its tongue with a rope? 2 Can you put a cord through its nose    or pierce its jaw with a hook? 3 Will it keep begging you for mercy?    Will it speak to you with gentle words? 4 Will it make an agreement with you    for you to take it as your slave for life? 5 Can you make a pet of it like a bird    or put it on a leash for the young women in your house? 6 Will traders barter for it?    Will they divide it up among the merchants? 7 Can you fill its hide with harpoons    or its head with fishing spears? 8 If you lay a hand on it,    you will remember the struggle and never do it again! 9 Any hope of subduing it is false;    the mere sight of it is overpowering. 10 No one is fierce enough to rouse it.    Who then is able to stand against me? 11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay?    Everything under heaven belongs to me.

12 “I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,    its strength and its graceful form. 13 Who can strip off its outer coat?    Who can penetrate its double coat of armor? 14 Who dares open the doors of its mouth,    ringed about with fearsome teeth? 15 Its back has rows of shields    tightly sealed together; 16 each is so close to the next    that no air can pass between. 17 They are joined fast to one another;    they cling together and cannot be parted. 18 Its snorting throws out flashes of light;    its eyes are like the rays of dawn. 19 Flames stream from its mouth;    sparks of fire shoot out. 20 Smoke pours from its nostrils    as from a boiling pot over burning reeds. 21 Its breath sets coals ablaze,    and flames dart from its mouth. 22 Strength resides in its neck;    dismay goes before it. 23 The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;    they are firm and immovable. 24 Its chest is hard as rock,    hard as a lower millstone. 25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified;    they retreat before its thrashing. 26 The sword that reaches it has no effect,    nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin. 27 Iron it treats like straw    and bronze like rotten wood. 28 Arrows do not make it flee;    slingstones are like chaff to it. 29 A club seems to it but a piece of straw;    it laughs at the rattling of the lance. 30 Its undersides are jagged potsherds,    leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge. 31 It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron    and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it;    one would think the deep had white hair. 33 Nothing on earth is its equal—    a creature without fear. 34 It looks down on all that are haughty;    it is king over all that are proud.” — Job 41 | New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

Living Without Answers (Job 41:12-34)

Ironically, we discover the presence of God through God’s absence; and hear the voice of God through God’s silence.

“I will not keep silent concerning its limbs    or its mighty strength or its splendid frame.Who can strip off its outer garment?    Who can penetrate its double coat of mail?Who can open the doors of its face?    There is terror all around its teeth.Its back is made of shields in rows,    shut up closely as with a seal.One is so near to another    that no air can come between them.They are…

Fear That Produces Faith

They are joined fast to one another;     they cling together and cannot be parted.

I love how all the lessons about studying in college I had in high school were like "do you work better in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings? figure out what time of day you work best in and focus your studying then!" and then the vast majority of the jobs out there require you to work at 9 in the morning or earlier regardless of what time of day you work best. If you work best late at night you're fucked!

I'm sooo obsessed with old tiny viktor right now, he is so tiny (he is 41), he is just a baby (he is 41), he is a kitty to me (he is 41)

FYI, the matchbox that Muriel is looking at in the new teaser says, "Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.". Job 41:19. What fun this is!

Hiya! :) Oh yesss :) Matches and Job also seem to be important in S2! :)

You Can't Leverage a Leviathan (Job 41:1-11)

There is no “The Universe For Dummies” by God on the way things operate in the universe.

“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook    or press down its tongue with a cord?Can you put a rope in its nose    or pierce its jaw with a hook?Will it make many supplications to you?    Will it speak soft words to you?Will it make a covenant with you    to be taken as your servant forever?Will you play with it as with a bird    or put it on a leash for your young women?Will traders bargain…
