“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea—the eschatological promise affirms that despite current confusion and injustice, God's knowledge and glory will ultimately pervade all creation. This verse provides the theodicy resolution: the purpose of history moves toward universal recognition of divine glory, transforming all cosmic confusion into clarity. The vastness of waters covering the earth suggests the comprehensive and irreversible nature of this transformation.
