The line was about God and who He explained Himself to be in response to Job's complaints and trials.
His whole response was, "I am God." and somehow that was both right and enough. Here's the line the author uses that I thought was so cool:
"... causing wind to race down imaginary hills of barometric pressure..."
Yeah, He controls nature and has established everything as it is. I particularly like the phrase because while I was on the ship I saw the wind 'skittering' across the water making numerous little "v" shapes as it passed. It's a phenomena difficult to describe but it always filled me with wonder.
I thought of the Spirit hovering above the water during the days of creation... and also tried picturing what exactly the wind would look like if we could SEE it. I still don't know what it would look like, because the moment you conceive of seeing it, your vision is being obscured by it. The sheer volume of air being moved in a breeze or a gust also boggles my mind. Air coming from somewhere and going somewhere else... huge volumes of it. It's too much to understand and my God made it that way.
Cliffs in the Faroe Islands.. wind is always rushing here.
