In biblical context, fear and trembling often accompany divine encounters or revelations, as seen in <a href="/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7</a> and <a href="/acts/9-6.htm">Acts 9:6</a>. Such reactions signify the overwhelming presence of the divine or supernatural, highlighting human frailty in the face of God's majesty. The fear of the Lord is a recurring theme in Scripture, emphasizing reverence and awe (<a href="/proverbs/1-7.htm">Proverbs 1:7</a>). This experience underscores the seriousness of the message being delivered, suggesting that it is not merely a human insight but a divine revelation.<p><b>And made all my bones shudder</b><br>The physical response described here indicates the depth of the encounter's impact. In ancient Near Eastern culture, bones were often seen as the seat of strength and vitality (<a href="/proverbs/3-8.htm">Proverbs 3:8</a>). The shuddering of bones suggests a profound disturbance, affecting the very core of one's being. This reaction can be compared to other biblical instances where individuals experience a deep, visceral response to God's presence or judgment, such as in <a href="/habakkuk/3-16.htm">Habakkuk 3:16</a>. The imagery of bones shuddering also foreshadows the resurrection theme, where dry bones come to life (<a href="/ezekiel/37.htm">Ezekiel 37:1-14</a>), symbolizing renewal and divine intervention. This phrase highlights the transformative power of divine encounters, which can shake individuals to their core, leading to a deeper understanding of God's will and purpose.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/eliphaz_the_temanite.htm">Eliphaz the Temanite</a></b><br>One of Job's three friends who comes to comfort him.
