For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
According to Wikipedia:
Saline water covers approximately 140,000,000 square miles.
The ocean covering approximately 71% of Earth’s surface and 90% of the Earth’s biosphere.
The ocean contains 97% of Earth’s water.
Oceanographers have stated that less than 5% of the World Ocean has been explored.
The total volume is approximately 320 million cubic miles.
The average depth is nearly 12,100 ft.
We visited the oceans, sailed them, studied them.
The more we learn about the ocean, the more we understand how little we actually know.
The glory of God is all around us.
It is life-giving.
It is boundless and limitless.
We barely know anything about it.
We have read about it, sought it, and even experienced it.
But the more we learn about the glory of GOD, the more we realize how little we know.
One day, that will change.
The earth WILL BE FILLED with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD.
The Minor Prophets are so named not because their messages were any less important or inspired but because their writings were shorter. Often God called them to deliver one specific message and then they went back to their vocation. We're in the process of looking at what makes these short books relevant and worth a closer look.
