Next is the picture of the warhorse and its excitement for battle. Job certainly was able to create. horse that could leap like the locust. "In its spirited eagerness, the horse snorts terribly and paws vigorously, seeming to rejoice 'in his strength'. Fearless in its charge into battle, it is undaunted by weapons such as the sword. The movements of the rider's quiver of arrows and his spear and javelin against the horse's side seem to abet the animal on. He excitedly prances into the ground as if he would swallow it up, and hearing the trumpet, which signals the battle charge, he can hardly stand still. He says 'Aha!' (meaning that he impatiently neighs). The horse's majesty, energy, strength, impatience for the battle, and spirit, were proofs of the greatness of Him who had made him" (Zuck p. 174).

In this section, notice the reasoning. Amazing animals demand an amazing Creator!
