The term "enormous" is not directly found in the Berean Standard Bible , but the concept of enormity, in terms of size, power, or impact, is present throughout the biblical narrative. The Bible often uses grand and vast imagery to convey the greatness of God, the magnitude of His creation, and the significant events in redemptive history.

God's Creation and Power

The enormity of God's creation is a testament to His infinite power and wisdom. In Genesis 1, the creation account describes the vastness of the heavens and the earth, emphasizing the grandeur of God's creative work. Psalm 19:1 declares, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." This verse highlights the immense scale of the universe as a reflection of God's glory.

In Isaiah 40:12 , the prophet speaks of God's immeasurable power: "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of His hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?" This rhetorical question underscores the enormity of God's creation and His sovereign control over it.

The Flood

The account of the Flood in Genesis 6-9 is an example of an enormous event in biblical history. The Flood was a cataclysmic judgment on the earth, demonstrating the seriousness of sin and the vastness of God's judgment. Genesis 7:11-12 describes the enormity of the event: "On that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights."

The Exodus

The Exodus from Egypt is another significant event marked by enormous displays of God's power. The plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision for the Israelites in the wilderness all demonstrate God's mighty hand. Exodus 14:21-22 recounts the parting of the Red Sea: "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on their right and on their left."

The Kingdom of God

The concept of the Kingdom of God is portrayed with enormous significance in the New Testament. Jesus speaks of the Kingdom as a mustard seed that grows into a large tree, symbolizing its expansive and transformative nature (Matthew 13:31-32). The Kingdom's growth from small beginnings to a vast, encompassing reality reflects the enormous impact of God's redemptive plan through Christ.

The Love of God

The enormity of God's love is a central theme in Scripture. Ephesians 3:18-19 speaks of the vastness of Christ's love: "that you may have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of His love, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." This passage emphasizes the boundless dimensions of God's love for humanity.

Final Judgment

The Bible also speaks of the enormous scope of the final judgment. Revelation 20:11-15 describes the great white throne judgment, where all the dead are judged according to their deeds. The enormity of this event underscores the seriousness of God's justice and the eternal consequences of one's response to the Gospel.

In summary, while the word "enormous" may not appear explicitly in the biblical text, the concept is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating the greatness of God, the vastness of His creation, and the significant events in His redemptive plan.
