Ice

/EYES/

Summary

Frozen water, mentioned in Scripture as evidence of God's power over nature.

☩Divine Power

Ice demonstrates God's sovereign control over creation. Job describes how God's breath produces ice and freezes the waters. The psalmist declares that God 'casteth forth his ice like morsels'—who can stand before His cold? Such phenomena reveal divine power beyond human ability.

Key verses:Job 37:10Job 38:29Psalm 147:17

☩Metaphorical Use

Ice and frost appear in contexts emphasizing God's command over elements that humans cannot control. The rhetorical questions in Job challenge human pretension by pointing to weather phenomena only God can produce. Ice serves as evidence of the Creator's wisdom and might.

Key verses:Job 38:29-30
