First person, God speaking to Job.
Job 38:
31 Can you tie fast the bonds of the Kimah constellation,
Or can you loosen the very cords of the Kesil constellation?
How do you get physical forces binding stellar matter from this? And the stars of constellations are never in physical contact with one another. Stars within contellations are seperated by light years,often hundreds of light years.They are only apparently within the same constellation because we classify them as such.
The Apostle Paul wrote at 1cor 15:41
41 The glory of the sun is one sort, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars is another; in fact, star differs from star in glory.
How did a man two thousand years ago accurately state that stars differ in glory. Only in recent history have scientist figured that out.
According to the blue letter bible the word glory this is the different biblical uses of the word "doxa".
1) opinion, judgment, view
2) opinion, estimate, whether good or bad concerning someone
a) in the NT always a good opinion concerning one, resulting
in praise, honour, and glory
3) splendour, brightness
a) of the moon, sun, stars
b) magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace
c) majesty
1) a thing belonging to God
a) the kingly majesty which belongs to him as supreme ruler, majesty in the sense of the absolute perfection of the deity
2) a thing belonging to Christ
a) the kingly majesty of the Messiah
b) the absolutely perfect inward or personal excellency of Christ; the majesty
3) of the angels
a) as apparent in their exterior brightness
4) a most glorious condition, most exalted state
a) of that condition with God the Father in heaven to which Christ was raised after he had achieved his work on earth
b) the glorious condition of blessedness into which is appointed and promised that true Christians shall enter after their Saviour's return from heaven
Of these definitions brightness is the only measurement of stars that could qualify as a measurement science applies to stars. Now let us insert the word brightness into the verse and see what marvelous revelation moses had.
Original
The glory of the sun is one sort, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars is another; in fact, star differs from star in glory.
Susbtituted
The brightness of the sun is one sort, and the brightness of the moon is another, and the brightness of the stars is another; in fact, star differs from star in brightness.
Wow! Staggering eh?
"For the mind of man is far from the nature of clear and equal glass,wherein the beams of things should reflect according to their true incidence;nay,it is rather like an enchanted glass,full of superstition and imposture.if it be not delivered and reduced." Sir Francis Bacon
