The heavens, often referring to the sky and celestial bodies, are a testament to God's righteousness, which is His moral perfection and justice. This concept is echoed in <a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19:1</a>, where the heavens declare the glory of God. The order and beauty of the universe reflect God's righteous nature, serving as a universal witness to all humanity. In <a href="/romans/1-20.htm">Romans 1:20</a>, Paul speaks of God's invisible qualities being understood from what has been made, reinforcing the idea that creation itself testifies to God's attributes.<p><b>all the peoples see His glory.</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the universal scope of God's revelation. "All the peoples" indicates that God's glory is not limited to Israel but is visible to all nations. This aligns with the biblical theme of God's desire for all nations to recognize His sovereignty and glory, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/40-5.htm">Isaiah 40:5</a>, where it is prophesied that all flesh will see the glory of the Lord. The term "glory" refers to the weightiness and majesty of God's presence and works. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of God's glory, as seen in <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>, where the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. This phrase underscores the inclusivity of God's revelation and the call for all humanity to acknowledge His majesty.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_heavens.htm">The Heavens</a></b><br>In biblical literature, "the heavens" often refer to the sky or the celestial realm, which is seen as a testament to God's majesty and creative power.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/all_the_peoples.htm">All the Peoples</a></b><br>This phrase indicates the universality of God's revelation.
