1. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING:

A. Bible: Zechariah 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD concerning Israel. Thus declares the LORD who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him,

1. Stretches: Hebrew word (H5186): naw-taw’: “A primitive root; to stretch or spread out:

2. The part of speech is: something that is continuously being stretched out

B. Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding.

But Hubble’s work was not done. He was aware that a decade earlier astronomer Vesto Slipher had measured the Doppler shift of several galaxies, finding a few that were approaching our Milky Way and several that were moving away at very high speeds. Working with his assistant, Milton Humason, Hubble carefully measured the distance and Doppler shift of as many galaxies as possible. In 1929 Hubble published a paper that would lead to the realization that the universe was expanding.

COMMENT: Unless God inspired the Bible to be written, how in the world would the person writing this passage in Zechariah 12:1 know that the Universe was expanding.
