not Just a nebula

billions, a thousand million in each billion group 

the numbers lose their meaning, 

obscured by inconceivable quantities, staggers the mind

like counting each particle in a bucket's beach sand 

hundreds of billions of stars in Just one galaxy

each star vast distances apart, measured in light years' time

Orion's Horsehead Nebula - 1,500 light years far from earth

its widest - about 3 light years

to cross - 186,000 miles each second, each day, each week, 

of each year times the number of light years' distance

Just one nebula

our lives are like green grass and then winter falls

billions of galaxies in just our known universe

95 percent or so of the Universe is Unseen

so much Unknown

the unseen is physical matter, 

the unseen is called Dark Matter

astronomers don't know what dark matter is

we know much, but little

some know little, but believe they know much

some think they know everything, 

enough to keep them in the dark

string theory supports the idea that there are multiple universes

some of them are parallels to ours, 

possible maximum number is 10, maybe 12

are there billions or trillions of these Universes? 

I say no man knows the number

i say the number is many,

as in infinite, like the Almighty

creation is not limited by what us humans observe

it is not dependent on theory 

evolutionary theory does not dictate to the truth of creation,

it holds no ransom against the Creator

the Universe Is, 

it is Ruled by a Person and His Kingdom

at this moment the creation is filled with light and dark, 

it is filled with good and evil; it is in perpetual motion, 

it is upheld in order by the Creator

"God does not play dice with the universe," so said albert einstein

He has no beginning and no end, 

the Alpha and Omega, 

the Almighty has always been, always will be

He calls Himself the, I Am

our universe is constantly expanding outwardly,

kinda like the Big Expand,

so say theoretical physicists,

true story 'cause of observable phenomenon

one day, they say it will collapse upon itself

kinda like the Big Collapse, 

kinda like back to an infinitesimal pin prick of a point

then -    what sounds like another big bang . . .

He will speak into creation another reality

"Let there be . . . "

the Almighty says, one day He will create a New Heavens and a New Earth

He also says, "Eye has not seen nor ear heard; 

it hasn't even come into man's head, 

the things I have in store for those who love Me," 

 

sounds like: a not yet, but will be, 

sounds like: fascinating things coming: wondrous and marvelous, 

sounds like: a true meaning's use of awesome,

sounds like: as yet, it cannot be explained to mortal man

meanwhile the Earth, like the living thing that it is,

grumbles and strains under pain and anguish,

it waits for release . . .

and will be released

death vanquished, swallowed in victory

. . . an unveiling, a revealing,

all creation will sing

for every human:

death and resurrection have been appointed, 

not by government, IRS, or legal edict, but by Himself

not by theoretical physicists, philosophers, politicians, or any of the like

but by the One who runs the universe . . . 

then, an accounting
