Here we are, shoulder to shoulder or far away in distant lands.
Millions, billions of us, here, there, and everywhere.
How many of us are there? Here are just a few of the nations.
Are these population numbers what you would have guessed?
I was particularly surprised by Japan. It's so small,
but like a tiny seed man grows and fills God's green Earth.
China 1,412,600,000
India 1,352,642,280
EU 447,007,596
USA 331,893,745
Russia 145,824,556
Japan 125,502,000
Israel 9,506,100
For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations. Isaiah 61:11
Yikes!! And the saddest part of all is that most of us can't even get along!!

ReplyDeleteThat number for Japan is quite surprising considering how big Russia is and how close they are to that population.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too, Ellen.

ReplyDeleteThat's very interesting, Sandi. I've never really looked at the population stats before.
