The concept of dominion is rooted in the biblical understanding of God's sovereignty, as seen in <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a>, where God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Awe, or reverence, is a natural response to God's majesty and holiness, as reflected in passages like <a href="/psalms/33-8.htm">Psalm 33:8</a>, which calls all the earth to fear the Lord. Historically, the ancient Near Eastern cultures often attributed dominion to their deities, but the Bible uniquely presents God as the one true sovereign. This phrase also connects to the New Testament, where Jesus is described as having all authority in heaven and on earth (<a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18</a>), highlighting His divine nature and role in God's redemptive plan.<p><b>He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.</b><br>This part of the verse speaks to God's ability to bring order and peace to the cosmos. The "heights of heaven" refers to the celestial realm, which in ancient cosmology was often seen as a place of divine activity and governance. The idea of God establishing harmony is consistent with the biblical theme of God bringing order out of chaos, as seen in the creation narrative of <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1</a>. In the context of Job, this statement underscores God's control over the universe, contrasting with the chaos and suffering experienced by Job. Theologically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of the ultimate peace and reconciliation brought through Christ, who is described in <a href="/colossians/1-20.htm">Colossians 1:20</a> as reconciling all things to Himself, making peace through His blood shed on the cross.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/bildad_the_shuhite.htm">Bildad the Shuhite</a></b><br>One of Job's three friends who comes to comfort him.
