Bible Question: How does this verse compare with black holes, stars no longer existing? |
Bible Answer: Well isn't this interesting. Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. First of all does not the idea of black holes proove that they still exist only in another form, and this was said before men discovered such things. Or what about the fact that star light we view is supposed to continue on for ever. SO you see the light of a star that has ceased to shine. Is not the existance of the light another indicator of the reality of the statement, that they do not fail. Is it literal. Maybe more literal than one even knows. I think there are many instances of this in the Bible. There are some metaphorical statements of course. Calling a womans nose the tower of lebanon. not very flattering by today's standards but in SOS it was and the literal tower of lebanon was never meant. We know when it is metaphor and when it is literal by the context. When Comparing God's greatness I would take it literal. |
