What were the visible things made out of?
The visible things, the tangible things, were not made out of things that appear. Everything created that we can now see and handle came out of nothing. The worlds were framed by the Word of God, who spoke and it all came into being.
Les explains that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, and by faith the elders obtained a good report. Through faith, by simply taking God at His Word, believers understand that the worlds, the universe, were framed by the Word of God. He spoke it, and boom, it all came into being. Les notes that if we can believe the astronomers, everything is still being created, still moving further and further, because God is infinite. There is no putting an outer shell on God's creation. So it was framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen, the things which are tangible, were not made out of things that appear. Everything that's been created, that we can now see and handle, came out of nothing. Les emphasizes that the unbeliever can't comprehend this, but believers can.
