Hebrews 11:3

Hebrews 11:3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Things that we see were not made out of things that we see. They were brought out of the unseen by the word of God; so that, really, the word of God is the foundation of everything that has been formed by him; and, after all, things material-created and seen-are not truly substantial. They are but shadows; the real substance is that which never can be seen, even the ever-blessed God, whose voice-whose word-created the heavens and the earth.
