Here is an interesting 'thought experiment':
We are all now aware of the seeming paradox of quantum non-locality, shown through Bell's theorem and experimentally via the separation of entwined particles which transmit information to each other instantaneously regardless of separation distance. Consider the entire universe to be the bubble of spacetime and all that is, except The Creator of the universe, to be inside the bubble of spacetime. This 'arrangement' of 'all' then becomes the expression of 'all-locality' to one outside of the bubble, which is our understanding of God The Creator.

Yes, God has chosen to step inside the bubble as The Word made flesh Who dwelt among us. And yes, even spirits will have some where/when 'arrangement' since they are also created 'things'. So the seeming paradox becomes, God is non-local because He exists outside the bubble of spacetime which He created, but God is also 'all-local' as His Spirit sustains the extremely delicate balance of it all, and as He has chosen to take flesh and dwell among us.

[Shhhh, whatever you do, don't show this to certain geniuses wishing to diminish God rather than exalt God.]

Indeed, dear MHGinTN — the creation seems not to have been a "one-shot deal," rather it is a continuous activity, from Alpha to Omega.... That is to say, timeless (i.e., eternal) God works in time.... There's a paradox here from the human standpoint; but it does not apply to God or limit Him in any way. For as you say, He is at once non-local and all-local.

Thank you so very much for your wonderful insights, dear brother in Christ!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on God and non-locality, dear brother in Christ!

It is a very interesting meditation.
