That statistic is at once pathetic and inspiring. NASA estimates that the project consumed one third of the effort that went into the Great Pyramid. Voyager is over 11 billion miles away and traveling faster than almost any other object made by man. Yet it won’t leave our solar system and start heading out to greet the billions of stars in just our own galaxy until roughly A.D 32,100. That’s man’s best effort at reaching the stars. By himself, using his own power, mankind is unimaginably insignificant in comparison to the universe. But there is hope for man to realize his dreams of space exploration. The Bible reveals mankind will reach every star out there. Hebrews 2:8 states that God has put “all things in subjection” under man. The Moffatt Bible translated “all things” as “the universe.” The verse goes on to say that God has left “nothing that is not put under him.” In his book The Incredible Human Potential, Herbert W Armstrong wrote: "In other words, for those willing to believe what God says, He says that He has decreed the entire universe—with all its galaxies, its countless suns and planets—everything—will be put under man’s subjection." He points out that the verse goes on to say that “But now we see not yet all things [the endless universe] put under him [man].” Hebrews 2:8 is not an isolated scripture. The Bible plainly reveals that God’s plan for mankind includes the whole universe. Voyager reveals the futility of man’s attempt to make this journey on his own. But it also gives a glimpse at shear vastness of the plan God has for man. It helps us glimpse a vision of God’s future that will excite any imagination that takes few moments to dwell on it. Our free book The Incredible Human Potential can help you prove for yourself what the Bible says about this vision. And our free, full color, magazine-sized booklet Our Awesome Universe Potential will help bring that vision alive with pictures from some of man’s greatest telescopes and explanations that are beyond inspiring.
