1) A) The average person thinks that they are keeping themselves alive. Edward says that god is the one who keeps them alive.
B) Compares the fallen rock with the fact that once god decides to let you go and fall into hell there’s nothing you can do to stop it. The chaff of the summer threshing floor is compared to how god’s hand is keeping you alive and you can become a worthless peace of matter any second.
2) A) The sun doesn’t shine willingly, the earth doesn’t increase to satisfy your lusts, that it’s not a stage for your wickedness to be acted upon, and the air doesn’t serve you for breath.
B) The dark clouds represent God’s anger. Darkness is generally related to anger. When someone is mad they’re in a ‘dark’ or ‘unhappy’ place, and dark clouds don’t make anybody happy.

4) A) The threat is that we’re hanging by a thin thread and any moment the thread can break and we’ll fall into the bottomless pit that’s full of fire and wrath.
B) This would be affective in arousing fear because people believed strongly in god and knew what he was capable of, so the idea that his hands were the things keeping you alive, and that he could drop you any second, would scare a lot of people.
