7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
What is man that God would even be mindful of him?
Psalm 8
3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

Or what is the place of My rest?
50 Has My hand not made all these things?'
All mankind is but a drop in the ocean of the vast dominion of God's Celestial Realm.
The whole of mankind is but a footnote in the book of God's creation.

14 With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him,
And taught Him in the path of justice?
Who taught Him knowledge,
And showed Him the way of understanding?

And are counted as the small dust on the scales;
Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.

Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering.
The center of the Universe is God and not man.

"What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him?

You have crowned him with glory and honor,
And set him over the works of Your hands.
All things are subject to Him and all things depend on His Mercy.
1 Corinthians 15
27 For "He has put all things under His feet."But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

His Ways are past finding out and no one has ever comprehended the depth of His ways.

The Power of The Lord is infinite and with Him all things are possible.
