Thank you.....!!! I have the biggest ole smile on my face now, such lovely, encouraging scriptures..!! How do you remember all these scriptures??? Oh, I think I know.."e-sword" ???? I have got to learn these bible helps..!!!
Sister Sue...
p.s. funny, my immediately family have labeled me "sister Sue" but only because they think I talk to much about spiritual things...!

I love Universe stuff too.
Here is a question, hope people will still be reading this thread.
Why billions and billions of people?? When will He have enough for His family-the all in all. I am curious as to why God needs so many when actually so FEW will be called. Few relative to billions could be millions or just a couple hundred- who knows?
I assumed the Universe had something to do with it- we would need to fill it somehow and do "stuff" ::) :D

Hey Gena, as I read your post the craziest idea came to me....just an idea mind you...nothing to back it up...but since God seems to express truths through patterns of foreshadowing and types....maybe, just maybe
the few bring in the many into God's family here through planet earth
and then
the earth (the few) brings in the many other planets (other planets with other life???? maybe???)
and then
our little universe (the few) brings in the many other universes
and so on and so on
I realize at some point God becomes all in all but how do we know where this ends really.
God gave Jesus, the firstborn, the ability to create....
Shall the firstborn of the firstborn also be granted this ability to create worlds? We may not be able to "procreate" but if we are to "be like God" in His express image, will we have the same abilities to create universes? Will we even want to?
Like I said...crazy thoughts. But I've thought about this before too. When will there be enough souls for God that He will feel His family is finally complete? There seems to be an "end" which the scripture speaks of, as in when Jesus gives back authority to the Father and He is all in all...but maybe this is just an end to a process that can be repeated endlessly. The process is what is laid out to us in our scriptures...how God is making man in His image...shall we then understand how to continue to create more beings in our/His image...
Maybe that's what the other planets and universes are for...waiting for us to fill them.....
But I suppose that wouldn't work because then sin would have to crop up again and again...and we are told sin will be no more and there will be no more tears etc.....but perhaps that's just directed to us in our universe within our ages....
Well anyways, it's fun just to imagine...
Thanks for reading my ramblings ;D :D (not to be taken seriously ;))
Peace,
Diana

The number 144,000 in the book of Revelations comes to mind.

Diana, I like that theory alot!!
Musicman, l44,000 out of billions is just a drop in the bucket.
I once heard that the "sons of God" who presented themselves to God in Job 1 were from "worlds" around the universe. Adam should have been there but gave earth to satan when he sinned, so thats why satan could be at this councilmeeting :D
Anyhoo, it would have been nice if the Bible would have spelled it out clearer for us. Exactly what does "all in all" mean?-physically or spiritually. What will we be doing for "eternity" or are we just for an aion? What is the purpose of being a family if we are in a spiritual vastness called "all in all". AAAAHHHH getting too deep, and its all vanity since we don't know. I dare say it will be GOOD! :)
