Cosmos


 * Cosmos ** refers to the sum total of all __created__ existence, everything and everyone (0325). Westerners have a two-tiered understanding of the Cosmos. **Eternity** describes existence out of time. Scripture suggests that God resides outside of time: I Am (Ex 3:14, JN 6:35, 1023-1037). The Universe refers to the expanding material reality in four dimensions- 3 spatial and 1 temporal. The Arrow of Time refers to our experience that the future is ahead of us and the past is behind us. It appears it is time and not space that separates the universe from eternity. If this is the case, then the human soul becomes a time traveler at death leaving the material universe and transcending into eternity.
