In Jeremiah Chapter 33 verse 22, there is a very simple statement; "The host of heaven cannot be numbered."

Yet 450 years after Jeremiah made this statement, Hipparchus, the great scientist of his day, said there were exactly 1,026 stars in the universe.

Jeremiah had said for 450 years, "The host of heaven cannot be numbered."

Ptolemy, the great Roman scientist, said that there were not 1,026 stars in the universe but 1,056 stars. Perhaps he looked up on a clearer night….."

But about 1610 AD, a fellow by the name of Galileo made a little telescope and then looked up and said that there were even more stars than this.

And men have continued to discover more and more stars; and as a matter of fact they tell us that in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, there are 270 billion stars.

Many years ago a group of men at Grand Rapids in the USA said that we had about 2 million of such galaxies. About 2 months later, in the National Geographic magazine, they gave us the report of a two hundred inch telescope, and they said that there are not 2 million galaxies but trillions of them!
