God is Love! Indescribable really!!! You are His Child virtue of His boundless Love for you. God sent His Word that Created everything (seen and unseen) – Jesus came down to Earth from Heaven as Man. God’s Word lived as Man!
Have you ever seen a Man walk on water? Raise the dead? Be killed and return to life (after laying in the tomb for 3 days!) Jesus was witnessed by do many after His resurrection!
It belies Science!
Ask and you SHALL Receive…
God sees ALL, is aware of ALL. In the video shared above the daughter had a conversation and was not aware that her father overheard her sharing her difficulties on the phone. She was attempting to prevent her parents from being aware of her difficulties! She had not been kicked out, her car had not been repossessed, her gas/electric services were ongoing…
She was covered by those she didn’t want to “bother.” The Universe is so vast, we cannot see the ends (that is in the physical!) The Spiritual existence is inestimable…
According to most religious interpretations, the size of heaven is not specified and is considered to be beyond human comprehension, with the Bible not providing direct measurements; however, in the Book of Revelation, the “New Jerusalem” is described as a city with each side measuring around 1,400 miles, giving a sense of vastness to the concept of heaven.
Key points about the size of heaven:
- No definitive answer: The Bible does not provide a clear size for heaven, so its dimensions are considered to be beyond human understanding.
- New Jerusalem description: In the Bible, the “New Jerusalem” is often used as a representation of heaven, and in Revelation 21, it is described as a cube-like city with each side measuring around 1,400 miles.
- Symbolic interpretation: Many theologians believe that the measurements of the New Jerusalem are symbolic, signifying the vastness and abundance of heaven rather than a literal size.
The word for “heaven” in the Old Testament is the Hebrew word shameh or shamayim, which refers to the sky, the lofty arch above the world where clouds move, and beyond that the place where the planets and stars exist. In the New Testament, the word heaven is a translation of the Greek ouranos, which means “the sky” and “the abode of God” and, by extension, “an eternal realm of happiness and glory.” The sky in its vastness is a metaphor for the vastness and loftiness of God. It is the best earthly representation of the place where God lives.
How big is heaven—how big is the place where God lives? We know that God Himself is infinite. Heaven and earth cannot contain Him. In terms of time, there is no beginning or end to His years (Psalm 102:27); in terms of His kingdom, His reign will have no end (Luke 1:33); in terms of His character, He is unchanging (Hebrews 1:12; James 1:17). God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). Of God’s creation of the stars, Isaiah says, “Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing” (Isaiah 40:26).
Scientists have not even been able to chart the size of the known physical universe. There is a photo called the XDF (eXtreme Deep Field) that was put together from images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope over the course of ten years. That images shows a vast number of galaxies, each comprising billions of stars like our sun. Our sun is 93 million miles away from the earth. And the galaxies are very, very far apart—Andromeda, the closest galaxy to our own, is 2.2 million light years away. To give an idea of how far that is, a shuttle traveling at 18,000 miles per hour would need 37,200 years to travel one light year. The universe is absolutely huge—and God created it all.
So, how big is heaven? We don’t know exactly. The Bible doesn’t give any linear measurements. When John had his vision of heaven, he wrote, “There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb” (Revelation 7:9). Heaven is at least big enough for the innumerable multitude—and we can assume that there will be no crowding in heaven.
And we pray:
LORD, Your Essence knows us intimately well; better than we know ourselves. You know, and have set each day of our lives from birth till we exit this world…
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
Our thoughts are known by The Creator of ALL things: Psalm 139:1-2 states: “O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You discern my thoughts from afar.”
Does God know our thoughts?
Thoughts are the most private parts of our human experience. No one else can know our thoughts unless we communicate them, so we tend to imagine that anything we think is safe, as long as it stays in our minds. But there is one Person who always knows what we are thinking; God knows everything about us, and He also knows our thoughts.
God knows our thoughts no matter who or where we are. Psalm 139 begins this way: “O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar” (verses 1–2). God searches the hearts and minds of people, seeking those whose hearts are turned toward Him (Jeremiah 12:3; 1 Chronicles 29:17; Acts 15:8). Two of the Ten Commandments deal with our thoughts. The first commandment is to have no other gods before the Lord (Exodus 20:3). That is a heart matter. The tenth commandment warns us not to covet what others have (Exodus 20:17). Coveting is also a sin of our thoughts. When Jesus walked the earth, He knew people’s thoughts and answered before they even verbalized their questions (Matthew 9:4; 12:25; Luke 9:47; 11:17). In this way, Jesus exhibited the divine trait of omniscience.
It can be intimidating to realize that God knows our thoughts. He knows the angry thoughts, lustful thoughts, vengeful ideas, secret greed, and hidden coveting. God also knows about those secret longings, hopeful desires, and private dreams. And He understands. First John 3:20 assures us that “if our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” Sometimes we are harder on ourselves than God is. He knows we are frail humans made from dirt and born with a sin nature (Psalm 103:14).
If we have given our lives to Christ, then we should find comfort in remembering that our loving Father knows us better than we know ourselves. God knows our desire to please Him (Psalm 37:23), even though we stumble at it. Within that loving relationship, we have confidence to cry, “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23–24). We don’t have to be afraid of being vulnerable to our Creator. And there’s no sense in trying to hide things from Him. Whatever the issue, He already knows about it and wants us to feel safe enough to confess our thoughts to Him (Psalm 50:15; 91:15; 1 John 5:14–15). God knows our thoughts, and He helps us to know ourselves better when we talk them over with Him.
Luke 8:17: “For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.”
Father, I desire to speak to you always. Father, help me; I seek and desire an open dialogue. To pour my heart before Your Essence. You know all things; Father, help me, teach me, lead me to confide in You.
You know all my days; I desire to see You more clearly, Love You more dearly each and every day of my existence. I commit my entire life into Your hands. Mold me and use my. Your will be done in my life. I pray in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
