PSALM 19:1-THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; AND THE FIRMAMENT (skies, or expanse) SHEWETH HIS HANDYWORK.
THE BIBLE SCRIPTURES ON ASTRONOMY IS PROVEN TO BE TRUE
Did you know that every astronomical observatory is a fulfillment of a Scriptural command? Notice this interesting text in Isaiah 40:26: "Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their hosts by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth."
Throughout much of the world’s history, people thought that the world was flat. Yet thousands of years ago, the Bible showed it was round. The Bible was right, people were wrong.
Isaiah 40:22-IT IS HE THAT SITTETH UPON THE CIRCLE OF THE EARTH.
In former times, people did not understand that the earth "hung" in space. Yet thousands of years ago, the Bible showed it did. The Bible was right, people were wrong.
Job 26:7-HE…HANGETH THE EARTH UPON NOTHING.
In the past, science did not fully comprehend that the moon and stars had orbits, or established rules or ordinances. Yet thousands of years ago, the Bible showed these did. The Bible was right, science was wrong.
Jeremiah 31:35-THE ORDINANCES (fixed order) OF THE MOON AND OF THE STARS.
Job 38:33-KNOWEST THOU THE ORDINANCES (fixed order) OF HEAVEN?
In recent history, people have been misled by "science, falsely so called," into believing that evolution is how mankind came into being. Shortly, once again, people will be proven wrong, and the Bible shown to be true. It is written, to this age in which we are now living,
Colossians 1:16-FOR BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OR PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM.
God’s Word is true. People would do well to take heed to what is written—to believe it and obey it.
THE UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING:
THE AREA IT IS STRETCHING OUT TO IS EMPTY
Throughout much of the world’s history, people did not understand the universe is expanding and stretching out into empty space. Science, in recent years, has confirmed that this is true. The Bible told about these thousands of years ago. The Bible was right, people didn’t understand.
Job 26:7-HE STRETCHETH OUT THE NORTH OVER THE EMPTY PLACE.
Isaiah 40:22-THAT STRETCHETH OUT THE HEAVENS AS A CURTAIN.
Psalm 104:2-WHO STRETCHEST OUT THE HEAVENS LIKE A CURTAIN.
Jeremiah 51:15-GOD…HATH STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVEN BY HIS UNDERSTANDING.
Isaiah 45:12-I, EVEN MY HANDS, HAVE STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVENS, & ALL THEIR HOST HAVE I COMMANDED.
Zechariah 12:1-THE LORD, WHICH STRETCHETH FORTH THE HEAVENS.
Job 9:8-WHICH ALONE SPREADETH OUT THE HEAVENS.
Isaiah 40:22-IT IS HE THAT…SPREADETH THEM (the heavens) OUT AS A TENT TO DWELL IN.
Neither do many people comprehend what the next verses mean.
Ecc 1:9-11-THE THING THAT HATH BEEN, IT IS THAT WHICH SHALL BE; AND THAT WHICH IS DONE IS THAT WHICH SHALL BE DONE: AND THERE IS NO NEW THING UNDER THE SUN. IS THERE ANY THING WHEREOF IT MAY BE SAID, SEE, THIS IS NEW? IT HATH BEEN ALREADY OF OLD TIME, WHICH WAS BEFORE US. THERE IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF FORMER THINGS; NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANY REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS THAT ARE TO COME WITH THOSE THAT SHALL COME AFTER.
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY JESUS CHRIST
As the previous things are true, so the following is true.
Col 1:16-FOR BY HIM WERE ALL THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS, OR PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM.
Eph 3:9-AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST.
THE WISDOM BEHIND THE GODS CREATION
The creationist expects that the laws of nature that applied yesterday will apply in the future as well; this is because God is consistent (Malachi 3:6) and does not arbitrarily change His mind (Numbers 23:19).
Friends, it is hard to believe that men of intelligence and education could take some of the positions that are now held by so-called evolutionistic scientists. In Proverbs 3:19 we read, "The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth."
Once again as we read Psalm 19:1, 2 we read: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."
OUR GOD, THE GREAT MATHEMATICIAN
Actually, there are only two or three thousand stars visible to the naked eye of man, but there are thousands, millions, billions, trillions and quadrillions beyond that. In fact, we are appalled by the vast numbers and distances involved in the expansive universe of God. Yet with all the created heavenly bodies, God knows the name of each one. Psalm 147:4, "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." Only a great mathematician could have ordered the numberless stars to take their place in the vast heavens above. I was amazed at the scripture that tells us “He has numbered the very hairs in our head.” But it blows our mind when we can think about out God who created the stars and obviously He has named them as He calls them by their names. Do you know this fact, every minute a star is formed and every minute a star is destroyed and its size is bigger than our Solar system!
Now for a few moments today, let's take an imaginary celestial journey sightseeing through star-land. We will not go by jet, because that is much too slow. We shall travel on the wings of light, which means that we will be speeding along at 186,000 miles per second. By the way, traveling at that tremendous rate, we will be able to circle the earth seven times in a single second. In one minute's time we can travel 11 million miles. We will start at the sun, the center of our own solar system, which is 93 million miles away from the earth. You know, if some great giant could stand on the earth and put out his arm to touch the sun, it would take a hundred years for him to know that he had been burned, according to the speed of nerve impulses traveling through the body. Think of the immensity of that sun? it is one million, three hundred thousand times larger than our earth. If the earth could swell up to become the same size as the sun, and man should grow up in the same proportion, a man would be 625 feet tall. That gives an idea of just how fantastic the sun is in comparison to earth.
Listen, have you pondered the magnitude of that love which caused Him to be tied to a tiny, ugly world so full of sinful, ugly people? Look at yourself today. How painfully aware we are of our deformity of character. The inroads of sin have cut deeply into the lives of human beings. More than human strength is needed now to save us. We are going down too fast, and we have gone too far already. Yes, we need a deliverer. That same power has been waiting to pick us up, to lift us, to renew us, to change our hearts and lives. When we pray, God reaches down to save us. Isn't that wonderful, friends, how God can love us like that?
Friends, I believe God has veiled His glory there and the glory of His great New Jerusalem city in Paradise. Isn't it a wonderful thought that right through those great open spaces in the sky, someday God will come down bringing His holy city with Him and all the angels of heaven. Yes, we know the skies will separate soon. The trumpet army of angels will descend with Him and Jesus will appear seated on a cloud coming back to redeem the earth from its terrible curse of sin. The question is, friends, will we be ready for it? Are we ready now? It is not something to prepare for later. It is something to be ready for today. Won't you receive Him now so that you will be ready to meet Him in that glorious day that is just before us?
