In the context of Job, Elihu is speaking about God's sovereignty and justice, highlighting that if God were to withdraw His spirit and breath, all life would cease. This reflects the creation narrative in <a href="/genesis/2-7.htm">Genesis 2:7</a>, where God breathes life into man, indicating that life is sustained by God's will. The idea of all flesh perishing together underscores the universality of human mortality and the equality of all before God, as seen in <a href="/ecclesiastes/3-19.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:19-20</a>, where both humans and animals share the same fate. This also serves as a reminder of the judgment and the end times, where all will stand before God, as depicted in <a href="/revelation/20-11.htm">Revelation 20:11-15</a>.<p><b>and mankind would return to the dust.</b><br>This phrase recalls <a href="/genesis/3-19.htm">Genesis 3:19</a>, where God tells Adam, "for dust you are and to dust you will return," following the fall. It serves as a reminder of human mortality and the consequences of sin, which brought death into the world. The imagery of returning to dust signifies the transient nature of human life and the ultimate return to the earth from which man was created. This concept is echoed in <a href="/psalms/103-14.htm">Psalm 103:14-16</a>, where human life is compared to grass that flourishes and then fades. Theologically, it points to the need for redemption and resurrection, which is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who offers eternal life and victory over death, as proclaimed in <a href="/1_corinthians/15-21.htm">1 Corinthians 15:21-22</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/elihu.htm">Elihu</a></b><br>A young man who speaks in the Book of Job, offering a perspective on Job's suffering.
