Job 39:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 39:28

Compare all

26 “Does the hawk fly by your wisdom,
And spread its wings toward the south?

27 Does the ^aeagle mount up at your command,
And ^bmake its nest on high?

28 On the rock it dwells and resides,
On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.

29 From there it spies out the prey;
Its eyes observe from afar.

30 Its young ones suck up blood;
And ^awhere the slain are, there it is.”

Job 39:27-30

In the book of Job we see another reference to an eagle. In Job 39, here the metaphor shifts just a bit.

Again we see reference to the eagle's soaring ability. Its aerie, meaning its nest, is high in the crags, elevated far above men. Its phenomenal eyesight is mentioned. You'll see that this has something to do with Christ's insight into people's hearts. He knows men. Nothing is hidden from His scrutiny. He can read our minds. He has tremendous insight.

Job 39:27-30

Now Jesus' answer to "where" was taken from this series of verses. Now where will they be taken? Will they be taken to a high place where eagles dwell? Will they be taken to a place of rocks that is also considered to be the stronghold? Notice, incidentally, that it is not "a" stronghold, but the definite article "the" stronghold.
