For all the mighty Caseys out there, we can disolve our notions that Watt was one of the 1st to know about the effects of steam and compressed gases upon cilinders with pistons. Thats right!!! It seems that Job, at least according to the WT society was a visionary in this field of science. Observe:
"Job also describes the steam engine-stationary, railway and marine. The following is a corrected translation of Job 40:15 to 41:34, with comments thereon from the pen of one of Pastor Russell's followers: "Behold now one with great heat (the stationary steam engine), which l have made to be with thee; he will consume fodder (peat, wood, coal) as do cattle. Behold now his strength is in his loins (boiler plates), and his power is within the parts bent in a circle (boiler shell) of his belly. His tail (smoke stack-opposite the feeding end) will set upright like a cedar; the couplings of his leaping parts (connecting rods, pitmans) will be clamped together. His bones are tubes of copper; his solid bones (grate bars) are as hammered-out bars of iron. He is the greatest of the ways of power. He that made him (the Lord) can make His sword (Word) to approach unto
(reveal) him. Isa. 26:20,21.) He shall rest under thin shelter (steam jackets) within a covering of fibrous reeds (jute) and clay (mortar). The willows of the valley (the trees overhead) will enclose him around about. Behold (as a pumping engine) he will drink up an overflowing river without much exertion; he will cause the people to trust (that their cellars will keep dry), though a
Jordan should rush forth over its border. He will gather it up in his fountains by means of traps and with a perforated nozzle. "Thou wilt lengthen out leviathan (the locomotive) with a hook (automatic coupler) or with a snare (coupling pin) which thou wilt cause his tongue (coupling-link) to drop down. Wilt thou not place a ring (piston) in his nostrils (cylinders) or pierce through his cheeks (Piston ends) with a staff (piston-rod)? Will. he make repeated supplication unto thee, (to get off the track)? Or will heutter soft-tones unto thee (when he screeches; with the whistle)?"
The Finished Mystery, 1917, pp. 84-85.
This is only one of the many quaint teachings that was comming forth from the F&D before Jesus came to inspect his followers. As a matter of fact, when Jesus came, the record shows they didn't even recognize him.
