Wisdom Beyone The Earth

Jehovah's wisdom is evident in his works throughout the universe. The starry heavens, which we discussed at some length in Chapter 5, are not scattered haphazardly throughout space. Thanks to the wisdom of Jehovah's "celestial laws," The heavens are beautifully organized into structural galaxies that, in turn, are gouped into clusters that, in turn, combine to form superclusters. (Job 38:33, The New Jerusalem Bible) No wonder that Jehovah refers to the heavenly body as his "army!" (Isaiah 40:26) There is another army, though, that even more vividly demonstrates Jehovah's wisdom.

As we noted in Chapter 4, God bears the title "Jehovah of armies" because of his position of Supreme Commander of a vast army of hundreds of millions of spirit creatures. This is proof of Jehovah's power. How, though, is his wisdom involved? Consider: Jehovah and Jesus are never idle. (John 5:17) It stands to reason,then, that the angelic ministers of the Most High are likewise always busy. And remember,they are higher than man, superintelligent and superpowerful. (Hebrews 1:7; 2:7) Yet, Jehovah has kept all those angels busy, happily engaged in fulfilling his work-"carrying out his word" and "doing his will"-for billions of years. (Psalm 103:20, 21) How awesome the wisdom of this Administrator must be!
