Passport to the Universe...
http://www.space.com/scienceastronom...ay_040524.html
"If you've ever wondered how big the universe is, you're not alone. Astronomers have long pondered this, too, and they've had a hard time figuring it out. Now an estimate has been made, and its a whopper. The universe is at least 156 billion light-years wide." - Robert Roy Britt Will it be possible for people to explore the wonders of the heavens beyond our Milky Way galaxy to the outer limits of this universe? I have to admit it I like some of the ideas presented in the Startrek tv series and movies... like the idea of boldly going where no one has gone before...to explore strange new worlds...etc. But presently, there are no starships available with warp capability. And even if there were, with mankind's limited life span one would not be able to go too far to explore the universe even in several life spans. It's more likely God will provided another way to get there. After all it says in the Bible that God created the heavens, the earth and the stars. And if there is a gift of eternal life or immortality given to His people then with God's help anything is possible. So, It is unlikely that God would keep His people confined to one little corner of the universe. Some Biblical References : Gen.1 [1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. Pss.8 [1] O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. [[3] When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; [4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? [5] For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. [6] Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: [9] O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Pss.19 [1] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. [2] Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. [3] There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. [4] Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, [5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. [6] His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. [7] The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. Pss.136 [1] O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. [2] O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. [3] O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. [4] To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. [5] To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. [6] To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. [7] To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever: [8] The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever: [9] The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever. Pss.147 [1] Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. [2] The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. [3] He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. [4] He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. [5] Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. [6] The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Amos.5 [8] Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: John.14 [2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. [3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Rev.7 [17] For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Rev.21 [1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. [2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. [3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. [4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. [5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. [6] And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. [7] He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son... Rev.22 [1] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. [2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. [3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: [4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. [5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 1Cor.2 [9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 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. Dan.12 [3] And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever Eph.2 [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. 2Cor.4 [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Rom.2 [7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 1Cor.15 [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. Luke.1 [37] For with God nothing shall be impossible. Is there good reason to have this hope? Yes, much assurance can be found in the Bible and Messianic Prophecies: Messianic Prophecy: Review the incredible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth is promised Messiah Be assured that these prophecies were not conspired after-the-fact. www.messianic-prophecy.net/ - 21k - Messianic Prophecy: Investigate the statistical odds that one man would fulfill every single one of them in this sample of just seven. http://www.messianic-prophecy.net/me...c-prophecy.htm - 25k - |
