bb, Dear Sister, I believe our Lord has given you those words to zero us in on expressing and unifying critical elements of the nature of "all things" that we have been converging upon throughout our long-term 'sharings' re creation and our Creator!!
For a while now, I have been "building" (in outline form) what I view as a "grand unified theory" that delineates -- and ties together -- many elements of Divine "truth" that are revealed to us in His Word -- and that may be expressed in terms that have been discussed in this thread.
For months, now, bb, you and I have been sort of "talking past" each other -- because, IMHO, our Lord has blessed each of us with viewpoints and understandings that are revealing vital "truths". But HE has blessed us by having us approach these issues from nearly diametrically opposed viewpoints -- both of which are correct!. And both are necessary to full understanding...
And now, you have brought us together in a manner as dramatic as the driving of the golden spike on the transcontinental railroad -- or the historic meeting beneath Jerusalem of the diggers of Hezekiah's tunnel! Praise the LORD!!!!
I am so excited that I can hardly sit still in my recliner beneath my lap desk!! Yet, I am thoroughly frustrated, because my brain and fingers can't handle the "thought / communication throughput load" imposed on them -- by this cumbersome medium... ;-}

A few months ago, I must admit, I became somewhat disgruntled by your "twisting" of my discussion of "Universal NOW" by expounding on your term, "Eternal Now". [ Right, A-G? :-) ]
But, at the same time, I began, like Hezekiah's tunnelers, to "hear" you approaching ever-more clearly and loudly.
As a scientist, I have been approaching this "junction" from the temporal, mortal, physical side. And you, IMHO, have been approaching from the eternal, immortal, spiritual side. And, now, finally, we meet...
In our discussions of multiple spatial and temporal dimensions, I see a clear "place" for 'your' "Eternal Now" domain, and also for 'my' "Universal NOW" domain. As you so clearly pointed out, they intersected during the incarnated lifetime of our Lord, Jesus -- here on Earth. And, as A-G and I have agreed, they also touched at that (spatially, temporally and physically) infinitesimal "point" we call "Ex nihilo creation".
~~~~~~~~~
Not only have we "converged", your last essay-post was LOADED with inspired truths!! I'll not comment on them here, but, (if I have the energy) will do a "between the lines" commentary / celebration of your post and its many "goodies"...
Again, Thank You, Dear Sister in Christ, for your patience with me -- and for sharing your wonderful insights!
IMHO, we have a new beginning for great enlightenment! :-)
To HIM be the glory!!
FReepMail for you...
