In all seriousness, “Holy holy holy is the Lord God
Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come” [Revelation 4:8].
But He does desire fellowship with His creation. Man was
created in His image to be his companions forever as the
composite bride of his one and only son Jesus Christ. Both
old and new testaments tell us he is both a jealous God
[Exodus 34:14, I Corinthians 10:22] and a merciful God
“not willing that any should perish but that all would
come to repentance” [2 Peter 3:9]. Isaiah [55:7] puts
it this way: “Let the wicked man forsake his own way
and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him
return to the Lord, that He may have compassion, and to
our God, for He will freely pardon.”
God’s man-and-universe creation diamond has many facets.
The purpose of the JWST is to explore the created universe.
Another facet is a kind of dry humor – psychology maybe.
This is where the James Webb space telescope (JWST) fits in.
Both the alignment and test images have proved to be better
than expected. On July 12th at 10:30am EDT, the first group
of photos from JWST will be released. Now, this is where
the humor jumps in. “JWST presents an opportunity to
explore deep space in ways never possible before. Because
of this, astronomers and scientists are hoping to be able to
answer long held questions about the universe.” [JWST
newscast from web source I can no longer find.]
My opinion, by connecting the dots, is that the JWST is a
window giving God a way to “speak”, as a type of 22nd
century “John the Baptist”. What will God be saying? He
will be calling astronomers and scientists to repentance.
