3 Miles Apart… That’s How Big Jehovah’s Universe Is

[David Michael Selent]

This really helps put into perspective how big Jehovah’s universe is. We’ve all heard the quote that there are as many stars in the heavens as there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the earth—and Jehovah knows them all by name. But sometimes we don’t stop to think about what that actually means.

 

If you cup your hands and scoop up some sand, there are thousands of grains in just that one handful. You couldn’t realistically count them, and even if you tried, it would take a long time.

 

Now here’s what really brings it into focus: to match the scale of the universe, each one of those tiny grains would have to be placed about 3 miles apart from each other.

 

Just think about that for a moment. It really shows how truly amazing and powerful Jehovah is.
