I remember having seen a video that tries to explain the scope of the universe. The scale starts in Venice with a 1-meter circle, then expands to a circle ten times that size, then expands again to a third circle, ten times the second circle's size, and so on. The video expands the circle by a factor of ten more times than I could count, increasing the size of the universe we're viewing exponentially, repeatedly, for several minutes. It's incredible. After several minutes of expanding the circle countless times, we reach the edge of the known universe. Beyond this point, the narrator tells us, "we cannot see, and do not know."
But here's the real kicker. God can, and He does. God created the entire, unfathomably huge universe, and He knows what there is to see beyond our tiny, finite view of it. God's omniscience covers the entire enormity of the universe, stretching both forward and backward in time through all eternity. If the universe is at all impressive, and it is, then so is the God who created, controls, and understands all of it.
The universe is unimaginably vast, but as great as it is, God is even greater.
