    Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
    (Isaiah 40:10-12)
    The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
    Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge.

    Lightbulb Thanks for posting!!

    That is amazing. Took a lot of work and effort, certainly does put
    everything in perspective. I especially like the "visible universe' compared
    to all that is not visible. It all belongs to my Father!!

    God Bless, Dan

    And the atheists say it all happened by accident.....

    Come soon Lord Jesus - Take us Safely Home

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

    That was amazing. Those suns that makes our sun looks so tiny.
    All that power and the Bible just says "he also made the stars also." in Genesis 1:16.
    What an amazing God.

    For some reason, the more I zoomed out, the more panicky I felt. Probably because I've always had a fear of the deep of the ocean, and the deep of space. More specifically, sinking in the ocean or being untethered from a space ship and floating out into space forever. Both COMPLETELY realistic (ha) since I live in Kansas, and am nowhere smart enough to be an astronaut. But other than that, that was pretty cool. Especially at the VERY end where it show the observale universe, and what the estimated size of the universe is. Yowza!

    Every minute takes an hour
    Every inch feels like a mile
    Til I won't have to imagine
    And I finally get to see You smile"

    No kidding.

    I think that most people dont really appreciate just how truly BIG the Universe is. This view of it does a good job of putting things into perspective, IMO.

    ...and to think that it was spoken into existence.

    I just wanted to add that the second link loaded immediately! The first link, I never could get to load. Maybe there were just too many hits at the same time.

    Don't panic! Just be Rapture Ready.

    Joel 3:2
    I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.

    I zoomed out the 10 24.4 mark which shows "The Great Attractor" (click on that name to read an awesome description/analogy)
