"The Heavens Praise Your Wonder, Oh LORD...

Psalm 89:5

"...Your faithfulness too, in the assembly of

the holy ones."

*

This picture only magnifies the wonder

of our universe. It makes me think of

the Glory of GOD on His Throne in

Heaven where the angels without

ceasing cry out "Holy, Holy, Holy,

LORD GOD Almighty; Who was,

and is, and is to come!

*

GOD's Holiness will not allow man

in his fallen state to look upon Him!

*

Praise GOD that Jesus has made that

possible for us because of the salvation

we have in Him.

*

One Day we shall see Him for who He is

in all of His Glory, and there forever

after be in our Holy GOD's presence!

Be Still and Know That I Am GOD.

I'm glad I'm one of GOD's "eggs" in His basket!

*

It just amazes me the pictures the space Hubble

has taken!

*
This picture reminds me of a basket holding His

Glory. His "basket" seems to have shimmery

sequins on it and around it!

*

Again, it is unfathomable the vast light years

wide this picture shows. I'm surprised the

Hubble could get it all in focus.

*

I am also surprised at how calm it makes me

feel when looking at a mass that is so unstable!

So it is with life. Our life is so beautiful, then

there comes times that are so unstable.

Praise our GOD, He has our life in His

hands and doesn't allow anything we can

not bear. (I Cor. 10:13)

GOD is Beyond Man's Comprehension

This is my favorite picture of a place in our

universe! It doesn't register with my brain

that the heights of these gas clouds are

millions of light years tall!

*

My first impression is "a family." The father

on the left with the mother in the middle

holding her "child's" hand!

*

How could anyone think this has happened

randomly. I read from a friend with the

same exclamation of it being like putting

all the parts of a watch in a box, shake it

up, and out comes a finished product of a

working Rolex!

*

"What is man, that You are mindful of him?"

Hebrew 2:6

*

Hebrews 2:7-8 goes on to say, "You (GOD)

made him a little lower than the angels; You

crowned him with glory and honor and put

everything under his feet." My commentary

shares, "GOD put Jesus in charge of

everything, and Jesus reveals Himself to us.

We do not yet see Jesus reigning on earth,

but we can picture Him in His heavenly

glory. When you are confused by present

events and anxious about the future,

remember Jesus' position and authority.

He is LORD of all, and one day He will rule

on earth as He does now in heaven. This

truth can give stability to your decisions

day by day."

The Heavens Declare the Glory of GOD

As a child is in the womb of its mother, so is this

galaxy within the "womb" of the universe!

*

"A member of the 'ring galaxies,' AM 0644-741,

lies some 300 million light years from earth. The

blue ring surrounding it, made up of rampant

star formation, is 150,000 light years in

diameter, larger than the entire Milky Way."

(From the book, "Reflections on the Nature

of God edited by Michael Reagan, pg 29)

*

Most scientists want to say this happened

by "accident" or a "Big Bang" effect!!

Let's look at this "Big Bang" effect. They declare

that all we now see was at one time condensed

into a small tablespoon of super mass. They say

that all that is today came from that mass and

not an Intelligent GOD whose being is so far

above our understanding; the Bible tells us

that when we are in Heaven we will spend an

eternity learning about Him. Millions, Billions,

trillions, quadrillions of years there... and we will

still have only touched the surface of who GOD

is and His Love for us. And they want to explain

GOD away!!!

*

Another thought comes about the Big Bang. Where

did this mass of energy come from? The scientist

want to say it always existed. That goes against

their own laws of thermal dynamics; that being

"something can't come from nothing!" I also

question them, "Why is it so easy for you to say

a mass of energy with no organization has always

existed, but not an Omnipotent Creator. The latter

seems the more intelligible choice. It all comes

back down to their arrogance and refusal to

admit they are a part of fallen humanity that

needs GOD's saving grace.

*

I would like to compare it to a grub worm and a

scientist. You know a grub worm could never

design a rocket to go to the moon and back. The

scientist would probably even step on the worm

to get it out of its lowly estate. As so with man

compared to GOD. We can never understand

the ways of our Creator. Praise GOD He did

not step on us in our lowly estate, but in deed

took us in His Arms and saved those who

responded to His saving grace.

*

The next time you see a new picture the Hubble

telescope has put out...think, "How Awesome

our Holy, Loving, Creator, Savior, Father GOD is,"

to love us yet while we were sinners and came to

die in our place. Christ was not just another man

who died on a cross. He was GOD in the flesh and

took upon Him ever sin from Adam to the last

human being He will ever Create. No wonder

the world went black and the earth shook when

Christ said, "It is finished!"

*

But, that is not the end! There is going to be a

New Heaven and a New Earth! No unbelieving

scientist can imagine the wonders! It will not

be under the authority of Satan as this present

universe is. For there, the darkness is gone forever.

GOD Himself will be the Light. The New Earth

can be the size of this now known universe! The

New Jerusalem itself is the size of our earth. It

is to come from Heaven and sit upon the New

Earth. The Throne of GOD will be with man

and His Glory and will be ours for ever and ever!

Let US Make Man in OUR Image

1ST CREATION

Psalm 19:1 "The Heavens declare the Glory of GOD."

Genesis 1:26 "Then GOD said, 'Let US make man in OUR image...'"

Genesis 1:27 "So GOD created man in His own image, in the image of GOD,

He created Him, male and female He created them."

INCARNATION

John 1:1-2, 14 "In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD
was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. He was
with GOD in the beginning. The WORD became
Flesh and dwelt among men."

PROCLAIMATION

Luke 2:13 "Suddenly a great company of Heavenly Host
appeared with the Angel praising GOD and
saying, "Glory to GOD in the highest and on
earth peace to men on whom His favor rests."

SALVATION

Matthew 27:50-53 "And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud
voice, He gave up His Spirit. At that moment the
curtain was torn in two from TOP to bottom. The
earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke
open and the bodies of many holy people who had
died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs
and after Jesus' resurrection they went about into
the holy city and appeared to many people."

ASCENSION

John 14: 1-3 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in
GOD, trust in Me also. In My Father's house are
many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told
you. I am going to prepare a place for you. And,
if I go...I will come again and take you to be with

me, that where I Am you may be also."



CELEBRATION

I Cor. 15:52-54 "...for the trumpet shall sound, the dead will
be raised imperishable and we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothed itself with
imperishable and the mortal with immortality.
Then the saying that was written will be true:
DEATH HAS BEEN SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY!"


Rev. 19:7, 9 "Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him glory! For
the Wedding Feast of the Lamb has come, and His
Bride (The Church) has made herself ready. Then
the angel said to me, 'Write: Blessed are those who
are invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb...
These are the true words of GOD.' "

LAST CREATION

I Peter 3:10-13 "The Day of the LORD will come as a thief. The
heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements
will be destroyed by fire and the earth and every-
thing in it will be laid bare...That day will bring
about the destruction of the heavens by fire and
the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping
with His promise we are looking forward to a New
Heaven and a New Earth, the home of righteousness."

Rev. 21:1-5 "Then I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth for the 1st
heaven and 1st earth had passed away and there was
no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the New Jersalem
coming down out of Heaven from GOD, prepared as a
bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And, I heard
a loud voice from The Throne saying, 'Now the dwelling
of GOD is with men, and He will live with them. They
will be His people and GOD Himself will be with them
and be their GOD. He will wipe away every tear from
their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning,
crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed
away!' "

ETERNAL DAMNATION

Rev. 20:11-15 "Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him who
sat upon it. The earth and sky fled from His presence
and there was no place for them. And, I saw the dead,
great and small, standing before The Throne and the
books were opened. Another Book was opened which
is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according
to what they had done as recorded in the books.
ANYONE whose name was not recorded in the Book
of Life was thrown into the Lake of Fire. (verse 10)
"The Lake of burning sulfur, where the Beast and the
False Prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented
day and night for EVER AND EVER."

*

Each person has the inividual choice

to make:

1. Accept the free gift of salvation in Christ and

experience (1 Cor. 2:9) "Eye has not seen, nor

ear heard, nor has it entered the heart or mind

what GOD has in store for those who love Him

and His Appearing!

2. Reject His gift of salvation and GOD's WORD

assures your separation for Eternity in the Lake

of Fire. (Rev. 20:11-15) I am sure 1 Cor. 2:9

applies in reverse to those choosing to reject so

Great a Salvation. "Eye has not seen, nor ear

heard, nor has it entered the heart or mind of man

what GOD has in store for those who REJECT

Him and His Appearing.

*

"All have fallen short of the Glory of God"

But, all only need to receive His gift of

Eternal Life by asking the LORD to

forgive them of their sin and come into

their hearts. What an EYE OPENING

and HEART OPENING experience it is

when you follow this simple request from

our Awesome, Almighty, Creator, Savior

Holy, Father GOD!!

*

Do it and watch with wonder what

He does for you!
