John Trapp on Job 26:9

Verſe 9 He holdeth back the face of his Throne] i.e. Of heaven, Iſai. 66.1. which he eftſoons overcloudeth and muffleth up or masketh, with a vail: myſtically, by the Face of his Throne, we may underſtand the knowledg of his glory: for this is held from us ſo in this world, that we cannot perfectly know him as he is, but muſt content our ſelves with a learned ignorance, 1. Joh. 3.3. Here darkneſs is, and will be under his feet, Pſal. 18.9.

And ſpreadeth his cloud upon it] It is fitly called, his cloud, becauſe 1. It is his handy-work, Pſal. 18.11. Gen. 9.14. Job 28.26, 27. and 37.15, 16. and 38.9. Pſa. 104.5. His Sun draweth up thoſe vapours, which being thickned in the middle Region of the aire, by the cold encompaſſing and driving them together, become a cloud. 2 He uſed it of old as a ſign of his glorious Power, and gracious preſence with his people, Exod. 13.21. and 16.10. 2 Chron. 5.13, 14. And as a figure of Chriſts guiding and protecting his Church through the wilderneſſe of this world, Iſai. 4.5, 6. 3. He ſtill rideth in ſtate upon the clouds, Iſai. 19.1. Chriſt was by a cloud coached up to heaven, Act. 1.9. and ſhall come in like manner, Apoc. 1.7. and 10.1. We alſo ſhall then be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the Aire, and ſo ſhall we ever be with the Lord, 1 Theſſal. 4.17. —O mora! Chriſte veni.
