A few days ago I posted a long story about how I first learned about Dark Matter. In a nutshell it says that a single verse of scripture (Abraham 3:24) written about 2000 BC says that what we call "empty space" contains all the matter needed to create a planet, a solar system, and perhaps a universe, or even much more. Only recently has science "proven" that empty? space contains up to 10 times as much mass as we can actually see. No only is that true 'way out in outer space', but it is also in the 'space' right here at our fingertips. We still cant see it, even up close, but gravity forces say that it has to be there. So, it would seem that the 'latest discovery' of science is expressed in a single, and very old, verse of His scripture. To Him, the individual who inspired Abraham to write and Joseph Smith to translate that ultra important verse, it may just seem like a bit of trivia, a random thought He left for us to ponder.
To us, that bit of 'trivia' represents ten times everything we can presently see in our Universe... that is, 90% of that Universe is still hidden from our eyes and from our science, it is called Dark Matter because not only can't we see it, we don't know what it is. But, there is yet another 'trivial' verse found in Revelations 3:21. This verse also applies to us, and to all of our life's major, yet relatively tiny problems. Someday very soon, He says to us, if we can endure "...will I grant (you) to sit with me in my throne...". The one who seems to consider and encapsulate the Earth, or the Universe, or even 10 times the known Universe, in one trivial verse will soon let us sit on "His Throne". Wow! As I considered these two verses, I got the image of a young child slowly walking into their revered father's workshop office, where they know that he designs, grows and makes the garden, the fruit trees, the house, the beds, and the toys, all for the child to use and enjoy. Then the child climbs into the seat of father's office chair. And twirling around, with head back, and arms outspread, the child emits a loud "Whee.e.e.e.." of ecstasy and pure joy. And the father laughs, also from joy. Endurance to the end is certainly a pain in the neck... but with that image in our minds, I really believe we can make it.
