II Kings 1-3
The great Jewish prophet, Elijah, passes on his ministry to Elisha and
is taken to heaven in a chariot made of fire teamed by horses made of the
same. Two female bears maul 42
smart aleck kids and water fills a valley full of blood. These chapters record the Divine
weaving Itself into the time, light and matter of our cosmos.
Carl Sagan, the great astronomer and astrophysics now deceased, once
said, “The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.” He was making a
statement of faith and was, unknowingly, dancing with God. God, Maker of heaven and earth, is the
Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, always was, always is, always will
be.
I love it when God, The Divine, weaves Himself into the world creating
fiery chariots. Even now, my porch
is slowly turning east at about 900 mph toward a fiery ball whose light and
warmth will top the hill behind me at 186,000 miles per second and day will
begin…all this while the birds in my back yard quietly hum the Hallelujah Chorus.
Carl Sagan, a Ukrainian Jew, would have made a great Jewish Prophet.
