The compass… the circle.
Do you know what the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is?
It is a giant spherical compass of light, 46.5 billion light years from the center (that’s us) to the edge.
And this compass keeps on expanding ever wider, at the speed of light, in fact.
THIS in my view is the circle being traced by God in the painting.
