In the context of Job, it reflects Job's understanding of God's supreme authority and the awe-inspiring nature of His presence. The term "majesty" is often associated with kingship and divine authority, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/93.htm">Psalm 93:1</a>, where God's majesty is linked to His reign over the earth. The idea of being terrified by God's majesty is consistent with the biblical theme of the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>). This fear is not merely about being scared but involves a deep reverence and respect for God's holiness and power. In the cultural context of the ancient Near East, kings were often seen as divine or semi-divine figures, and their majesty would indeed inspire fear and respect among their subjects. This reflects the broader biblical narrative where God's majesty is unparalleled and demands a response of humility and reverence.<p><b>Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?</b><br>The "dread" of God refers to a profound sense of awe and fear in the presence of His holiness and justice. This concept is echoed in other parts of Scripture, such as <a href="/isaiah/6-5.htm">Isaiah 6:5</a>, where Isaiah is overwhelmed by the vision of God's holiness. The dread of God is not just about fear of punishment but also an acknowledgment of His moral perfection and the human inability to stand before Him without His grace. In the historical context of Job, this dread would be understood as a natural response to the divine, especially in a culture where the gods were often seen as capricious and powerful. However, the God of Israel is depicted as just and righteous, and His dread is tied to His moral authority. This phrase also foreshadows the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ, who embodies both the majesty and the approachable nature of God. While Christ's first coming was marked by humility, His second coming will reveal His full majesty and power, as described in <a href="/revelation/19-11.htm">Revelation 19:11-16</a>, where the nations will indeed experience the dread of His righteous judgment.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.
