The limits of man's imagination and the ability of man's hands are yet unknown. In Ancient history they were classified as the Seven Wonders of the World. Probably, most could not name them because only one still survives, the Great Pyramid of Giza. Of course, those who designated the seven wonders of the world had never seen what is called the ``Forgotten Wonders of the World" -- The Aztec Temple in Mexico City, The Colosseum in Rome, The Great Wall of China, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, The Parthenon of Athens, Petra, the rock-carved city in Jordan, Stonehenge in England, and the Taj Mahal of India.

If a list of the modern wonders of the world were composed, it would most likely include: The Channel Tunnel , The Clock Tower (Big Ben) in London, England, The CN Tower in Toronto, the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the St. Louis Archway, The Golden Gate Bridge, The Aswan, The Hoover, and The Itaipú Dams, Mount Rushmore, The Panama Canal, The Statue of Liberty, The Suez Canal, and The Sydney Opera House in Australia.

Many of the present-day wonders of the world are edifices or skyscrapers. "Skyscrapers are symbolic buildings. They aren't big for functional reasons." says W. Rybczynski, an architectural critic and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Men build such edifices to make a statement, a statement about the genius of a culture. Over the years there has been competition between cultures and cities that has sought to define and prove greatest in terms of such architectural feats. For many years the Empire State Building, and then the Sears Tower stood unchallenged as the tallest buildings in the entire world, to the glory of Chicago. The Sears Tower stands 1,454 feet tall, is composed 110 storeys from ground level, weighs 222,500 tons, contained 16,000 windows and 100 elevators, and provides 3.6 million square feet in which 14,000 people work daily. On a clear day you can see four states from the observation deck on the 103 floor. Approximately one and one-half million people view that sight every year. In about 70 seconds, the skydeck elevator brings visitors to the 103 floor.

The Bible states that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for His people. Take the greatest architectural minds and give them any and all materials needed by which to construct an edifice that reflects the greatest of mankind. Withhold no presently known substances or materials and then give them the ability to imagine and use materials that have yet to be devised or discovered. They can design using yet to be discovered or manufactured materials which are amazing in their strength or beauty, or which have both strength and beauty combined into one substance. Now let's go even further and allow them to redefine any laws that might limit their architectural imaginations from becoming a reality! Let their imaginations find no limits in natural law. They can declare what physical laws they would like modified or negated. Therefore there will be no span that cannot be spanned, no heights that cannot be supported, no materials that cannot withstand stress!

What the Lord has prepared for His people would exceed any such combined effort of the most skilled architects and engineers. Men cannot even in their wildest imaginations conceive what God has planned for His own. Although, as we visit and view the wonders of this world, we are astonished by the greatness and glory of human design and invention, we will be left confounded and speechless when we behold the greatest and glory of God's creative powers!
