How Big Is God? by blueAgent(m): 7:03pm On Mar 11, 2017
How big is  God?
It is impossible to know the size of God,the Bible says that no man has seen God.but the Bible offers us some clues to enable us know a little about the size of this great God, to understand the Size of God we need to look at the size of  his home. Deut  26:15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
1 Kings  8:30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.This verses tells us that God dwells in the Heavens (Third Heaven) the entire Universe is refered to as Heavens in the Bible.
THE SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
No one knows the exact size of the Universe.The observable Universe is the part which Scientist can see,observe and study. it is estimated  that the distance from the Earth to the edge of the observable Universe is 46billion light-years.the radius of the Observable Universe is estimated to be 93billion light years.the entire Universe is roughly 250times as large as the Observable Universe.recent analysis  estimates that the Universe contains over 2trillion galaxies many of this galaxies contain more than 100billion Stars each.yet God calls all of them by name. Psalms  147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
The vast size of the observable Universe alone is frightening, let alone that of the entire Universe.eg if just our galaxy was to be represented as the size of NorthAmerica our entire solar system would fit in a coffee cup somewhere in Idaho.
The Earth photograph taken by NASA from space shows the Earth as a tiny dot about 1/10th of a pixel in size suspended in vast emptiness of space.
Only a great God one who is not bound by time and space can create a Universe of this magnitude from nothing.

GOD'S SIZE AND THE UNIVERSE.
despite the vast size of the Universe God's word says that God is still bigger than it.
2 Chronicles 2:6   But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
2 Chronicles 6:18   But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

The Universe is so big that we struggle to comprehend its size.yet the Bible tells us that this Universe(Heavens) cannot contain God.
God purposed to show us his immense eternal power through his creations that through it we understand and know him. Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
Like In the words of German philosopher Friedrich Schiller "The Universe is one of God's thoughts"

THE SIGNIFICANCE'S OF GOD'S SIZE.
Isaiah 40:15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 40:17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. 40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him.
God is too big for us to comprehend yet he is mindful of his creations.
It is amazing to know that a God of this magnitude will still care and watch over us.
His word says that he cares for me and you and is willingy and able to meet our needs. even the hairs of our head are all numbered by him.he cares so much that he came in form of a man to die for my sins and yours. no wonder the plsamists wrote in Psalms  8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
It is a great thing to be desired by great men but far more greater to be desired by God Almightly.God is calling you today don't hesistate to answer him.

Thank you.
