Verse
Job 40:15-24
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he
eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in
the navel of his belly.
Why this allusion?/Significance
The car is the Behemoth - all of the car
models are named after the Bible and it
shows how they include religion in their
society - big SUV named Behemoth
because it is big, a lot of power,
practical…
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his
stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are
like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him
can make his sword to approach unto him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all
the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the
reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the
willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he
trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through
snares.

Luke 8:4-15
4 And when much people were gathered together, and
were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed,
They are each other´s spies while on the
walk together - whatever they do will be
known, they are never alone, someone is
always watching, also the Angels are
workers or God
¨Not all of you will make it through. Some
of you will fall on dry ground or thorns.
Some of you are shallow-rooted…¨ Just
speaking about how people will have

some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and
the fowls of the air devoured it.6 And some fell upon a
rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away,
because it lacked moisture.7 And some fell among
thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.8
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare
fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things,
he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.9 And his
disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable
be?10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in
parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they
might not understand.11 Now the parable is this: The
seed is the word of God.12 Those by the way side are
they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the
word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be
saved.13 They on the rock are they, which, when they
hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root,
which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall
away.14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which,
when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares
and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to
perfection.15 But that on the good ground are they, which
in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep
it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
different life conditions that make
success more or less attainable- those
who attain success should help those
who have a more difficult path.
Genesis 1:28
¨Blessed be the fruit¨
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living things that moveth upon the earth.

2 Corinthians 1:3
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
22
Luke 8:13
13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, relieve
the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while
believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
This verse basically praises God ¨Blessed be the fruit¨ ¨May the Lord
open¨ ¨Praise be¨ - they find comfort in
religion and God
¨If they think of a kiss, they must then
think immediately of the floodlights going
on, the rifle shots…¨ They are tempted by
the guards, they want to have human
interaction but the guards must think
about the consequences.
Reflect: In what ways has Gilead twisted the verses/bible for its own purposes?
