Hugh Ross Quote
Job’s account of creation tells us that after God laid the earth’s foundation he made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness (38:4, 9). The pronouns its and it here refer to the vast sea that covered the entire surface of Earth at the time. Job leaves no room for ambiguity. Darkness initially pervades the surface of the deep (Gen. 1:2) not because the sun and stars hadn’t yet been created, but rather because Earth’s primordial atmosphere was like a thick blanket that prevented light from penetrating to the surface of Earth’s waters.
