Isaiah and the Hubble Telescope
This is from an article about the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Hubble Telescope:
The passage in question, Isaiah 40:25-26, reads:
“To whom will you compare me? Who is my equal?” asks the Holy One. “Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.”
Hutchins asserts that when Isaiah wrote about the power behind the universe, he did not have the benefit of a powerful space telescope, yet his description matches the discoveries made by Hubble in recent years of powerful galaxies like the Sombrero Galaxy. The Sombrero with its ominous glow at its center exhibits unimaginable energy. The glow is made up of eight hundred billion stars like the Earths’ sun, which gives the galaxy the appearance of a Mexican sombrero hat.
I love that the Sombrero Galaxy is what they use. They should have included a picture.
The Sombrero Galaxy does not look like a Sombrero.
It’s not a hat, it’s a crown.
