How many stars are in the Milky Way galaxy and how much of it can we see?
The Milky Way galaxy contains billions upon billions of stars alone. From Earth, only a little part of our own galaxy can be seen, just a part of it, not the whole. The rest remains unseen from our vantage point.
Les teaches that if you go out on a real clear starry night and look at that mass of stars, all we see is a little part of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. It is just a part of it, even though it has billions upon billions of stars in just the Milky Way galaxy alone. He also notes that they tell us there are billions of galaxies. He uses this as an analogy when talking about the rapture and the sudden taking away from all believers, which is hard for people to comprehend, asking how in the world God is going to do it.
