Post-flood Ice Age

[Job 38: 11] And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?[There are even hints of the post-flood Ice Age scattered throughout the book of Job. When the thermal water vapor blanket (the waters above the firmament) rained on the earth during the flood, the greenhouse environment dissolute. Snow began to fall in the polar latitudes and eventually great ice sheets fanned out over the northern regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. This glacial period did not last for a million years or more, as evolutionary geologist believe, but it could have persisted for several centuries.
The ice sheets did not extend into Bible lands, but they did undoubtedly affect their climates, producing much more rain, snow, and ice than occur today in those regions, known today for their heat and dryness.
Hitherto shall thou come - The tides are marvellously limited and regulated, not only by the lunar and solar attractions, but by the quantum of time also which is required to remove any part of the earth's surface from under the immediate attractive influence of the sun and moon. And this regulation takes place by means of the rotation of the earth round its own axis, which causes one thousand and forty-two miles of its equator to pass from under any given point in the heavens in one hour; and about five hundred and eighty miles in the latitude of London: so that the attracted fluid parts are every moment passing from under the direct attractive influence, and thus the tides cannot generally be raised to any extraordinary height. The attraction of the sun and moon, and the gravitation of its own parts to its own centre, which prevent too great a flux on the one hand, and too great a reflux on the other; or, in other words, too high a tide, and too deep an ebb, are also some of those bars and doors by which its proud waves are stayed, and prevented from coming farther; all being regulated by these laws of attraction by the sun and moon, the gravitation of its own parts from the sun and moon, and the diurnal motion round its own axis, by which the fluid parts, easily yielding to the above attraction, are continually moving from under the direct attractive influence.
No further - its rolling tides shall go up so far in rivers that go out of it, and then return, keeping exactly to time and place; this is said by Jehovah, the Word of G-d, and through His almighty power is tended to. Here a world of wisdom and management was necessary, in order to proportion all these things to each other, so as to procure the great benefits which result from the flux and reflux of the sea, and prevent the evils that must take place, at least occasionally, were not those bars and doors provided. It is well known that the spring-tides happen at the change and full of the moon, at which time she is in conjunction with and opposition to the sun. As these retire from their conjunction, the tides neap till about three days after the first quartered, when the tides begin again to be more and more elevated, and arrive at their maximum about the third day after the opposition. From this time the tides neap as before till the third day after the last quartered; and afterwards their daily elevations are continually increased till about the third day after the conjunction, when they recommence their leaping; the principal phenomena of the tides always taking place at or near the some points of every lunar syndic revolution.
Proud waves - though they may toss up themselves as proud men toss up their heads, for which, reason pride is ascribed to them, yet they shall not prevail, (Jer. 5:22); all this may be accommodated to the afflictions of G-d's people, which are sometimes compared to the waves and billows of the sea, (Ps. 42:7. 88:7); and these issue out of the womb of G-d's purposes and decrees, and are not the effects of chance; they are many, and threaten to overwhelm, but G-d is with His people in them, and preserves them from being overflowed by them.
Stayed - Hebrew, "a limit shall be set to." He has set the bounds and measures of them, beyond which they cannot go; see (Isa. 27:8, 45:2); and also to the world, and to the men of it, who are like a troubled sea, (Dan. 7:2-3; Isa. 57:20); and who rise, and swell, and dash against the people of G-d, being separated from them who were originally mixed with them; but the L-rd restrains their wrath and fury, and suffers them not to do His people any harm; whom He has placed in the monition of rocks out of their reach, that those proud waters cannot go over them as they threaten to do; (Ps. 76:10, 124:2-6).
It is also to be looked upon as an act of G-d's mercy to the world of mankind and an instance of His patience towards that provoking grace. Though He could easily cover the earth again with the waters of the sea, and show what the sea could do, and would do, if He would give it leave), yet He restrains them, being not willing that any should perish, and having reserved the world that now is unto fire, 2 Pet. 3:7.]
