No Country for Old Men: You Can't Stop What's Coming (Job 38:1-7)
Anton Chigurh moves through the film like a force of nature—unstoppable, indifferent, determined by a logic beyond human understanding. Sheriff Bell, nearing retirement, cannot make sense of the violence he witnesses. He expected a world where good and evil were clear, where righteousness had reward. Instead he finds chaos. God answers Job not with explanation but with reminder: Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Bell's final dream—his father carrying fire into darkness—suggests hope not through understanding but through presence. Some evil cannot be explained, only endured. Faith is not comprehension but trust that the fire persists.
