The commandment reads, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Jordan says, “That didn’t mean, ‘Don’t you cut your grass on Saturday.’ It didn’t mean, ‘Boy, you just need one day a week off.’ It meant, ‘Every Saturday you sit down and rehearse in your mind what my purpose in creation is and don’t forget you’re part in it.’

“Of course, Israel didn’t do that. The point God’s trying to get through to Job is He had a place He was going to dwell, but when sin came in He couldn’t dwell there.

"And when the Flood came, He went in there and that piece of ground that He had prepared for His house to come live, He broke it up; He destroyed it. Took a sledgehammer and just beat the fire out of it and broke up all that place where it isn’t compatible for His house to dwell there now. He’s saying, ‘I created everything to live there and now I’ve messed it up so I can’t live there. Job, there’s a problem in my creation that’s got to be resolved before I can come and live there. I’ve got an enemy.'

“I love what He says in Job 38: 12-13: Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?’ He says, ‘Job, I got the sun all ready for it to come and shake the earth.’ Did you ever read in Isaiah 24 and Luke 21 about the powers of heaven being shaken? What’s that talking about? Gravity is a power of heaven.

“You know what makes the tide? The movement of the moon. (Meteorologists) know 10 years from now when it’s going to be high tide and low tide based on where the moon is. There’s a mathematical formula based on the gravitational pull that determines that. The powers. And He says, ‘Job, I’ve got everything ready for the sun to shake the wicked out of the earth that the high arm of my enemy could be broken. The things necessary to accomplish the day of my wrath I’ve got ready.’ ”
