Learning of God’s Greatness

From the representations given by the Holy Spirit to His prophets, let us learn the greatness of our God. The prophet Isaiah writes: MHH 249.3

“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!’ And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. MHH 249.4

“Then I said, ‘Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.’ MHH 249.5

“Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: ‘Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.’” Isaiah 6:1-7. MHH 249.6

“There is none like You, O Lord
(You are great, and Your name is great in might),
Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?” MHH 249.7

“O Lord, You have searched me and known me. MHH 250.1

You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.’”
Jeremiah 10:6, 7; Psalm 139:1-6. MHH 250.2

“Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.” Psalm 147:5. MHH 250.3

“The ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He ponders all his paths.” Proverbs 5:21. MHH 250.4

“‘He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.’” Daniel 2:22. MHH 250.5

“‘Known to God from eternity are all His works.’” “‘Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?’ ‘Or who has first given to Him, and it shall be repaid to him?’ For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.” Acts 15:18; Romans 11:34-36. MHH 250.6

“To the King eternal, immortal, invisible,” “who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power.” 1 Timothy 1:17; 6:16. MHH 250.7

“‘Will not His excellence make you afraid,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?’”
“‘Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!’”
“‘Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does His light not rise?’”
“‘He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
For He says to the snow, “Be on the earth”;
Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.
He seals the hand of every man,
That all men may know His work. ...
He scatters His bright clouds.
And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,
That they may do whatever He commands them
On the face of the whole earth.
He causes it to come,
Whether for correction,
Or for His land,
Or for mercy. ...
MHH 250.8

“‘Teach us what we should say to Him,
For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness. ...
Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies,
When the wind has passed and cleared them.
He comes from the north as golden splendor;
With God is awesome majesty.
As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him;
He is excellent in power,
In judgment and abundant justice; ...
Therefore men fear Him.’”
MHH 251.1

“Who is like the Lord our God,
Who dwells on high,
Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?”
MHH 251.2

“The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.”
MHH 251.3

“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.
I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
And on Your wondrous works.
Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts,
And I will declare Your greatness.
They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness. ...
“All Your works shall praise You, O Lord,
And Your saints shall bless You.
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom,
And talk of Your power,
To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts,
And the glorious majesty of His kingdom.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. ...
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh shall bless His holy name
Forever and ever.”
Job 13:11; 22:12; 25:3; 37:5-13, 19-24; Psalm 113:5, 6; Nahum 1:3; Psalm 145:3-21. MHH 251.4
