Is this speaking of some esoteric mystical knowledge -- a gnosis, perhaps -- known only to the initiates?...

FWIW, I don't think so. I think it's a statement about all Truth. All truth derives/extends from the Creator God, the One by whom all things are created and constantly subsist.

This is an ancient and, may I say, eminently just, noble, and honorable insight.

As perchance "improved upon" by: Philippians 4:8 -- "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."

The main point being (IMHO) that we humans can rely on the promise that God has made to us -- and IMHO continues forever after to uphold in perfect good faith -- from the beginning to the end, from the Alpha to the Omega....

Ultimately, whatever is, IS ALL in God (i.e., it lives by His Law, not "ours").

Either that or God is Nowhere, and "objective" law is impossible as a result....

My fellow human beings, "take your choose"....

It seems to me we humans have no reason to fear anything that is true. Truth has its origin and sustenance in God. And we humans are His children....

Anyhoot, if any part of this seems to do with gnostic purposes, I have seriously missed my mark this evening.

For "Hear oh Israel! The Lord thy God is One!"

Must stop for now. Thanks so much for writing, xzins!
