Job 25:3 - Exposition

Is there any number of his armies? (comp. Psalms 68:17 , "The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels;" and Daniel 7:10 , "Thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;" see also 2 Kings 6:16 , 2 Kings 6:17 ; Matthew 26:53 ; Hebrews 12:22 ; Revelation 9:16 ). The number of the angels at any given time must be a definite one. But as there is nothing to limit the further exercise of creative power in this direction, the possible number is indefinite . And upon whom doth not his light arise? Upon what being among all the countless thousands whom he hath created, or will create, does not the brightness of his effulgence shine in such sort that they are illumined by him, and themselves shine with a mere reflected splendour?
