Isaiah 40:15-17

Isaiah 40:15-17

[15] Behold, the nations  are as a drop  of a bucket,  and are counted  as the small dust  of the balance:  behold, he taketh up  the isles  as a very little thing.  [16] And Lebanon  is not  sufficient  to burn,  nor the beasts  thereof sufficient  for a burnt offering.  [17] All nations  before him are as nothing; and they are counted  to him less than nothing,  and vanity. 

What does Isaiah 40:15-17 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The product as well as the process of creation reflect on God"s immensity. He is larger than human collective strength, than the inanimate creation, than human worship, larger even than the totality of humankind. The creation is no challenge to the Creator. Now His sovereignty is in view.
