What Does Job 36:30 Mean?

Elihu marvels at the lightning, the light God spreads across the clouds, while at the same time He covers the roots and depths of the sea. From the heights of the storm to the floor of the ocean, all lies within God's reach.

The verse joins the brightness of the lightning to the hidden deeps, showing a God who rules the seen and the unseen together. Nothing is beyond His ordering. The Lord of the storm and the sea is the same One whom wind and waves obeyed at the word of Christ.
