No Law Without A Lawgiver

1. The amazing 'Stephen Hawking concession'. It came as no surprise when one of the world’s greatest physicists, Stephen Hawking (in an interesting video-clip just before his death), finally has had to concede the fact that this Universe is governed by intriguing Laws still not wholly understood and explained by science. 
   According to the scientists' own confession they still only know (i) about 5% of what is going on in the Cosmos with threst (95%) 'undetectable by scientific instruments dark matter & dark energy' (and (ii) about 10%-20% of what is going on in our oceans*.

*That is over and above all the plastic, fishing lines and other junk.

2. No Laws without a Lawgiver. Even a child from grade-school would probably be able to tell us that there are no laws without lawgivers and that the Universe is governed by Universal Laws thanks to the creativity, innovation and initiative of a powerful Lawgiver … the YHWH (Jehovah) of Moses & Mt. Sinai as exemplified in the life & ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, the  Christ (‘the Anointed One’) and as affirmed by the ultimate source of moral authority in the world today, i.e. the Bible  (Old & New Testaments). Some notes:

► Jesus Christ was/is the Projects Engineer tasked with the creation, maintenance and management of the Cosmos. [Hebrews1:1-14]. He is the ultimate artist and impressionist ... everything He does impresses us.

► God the Father has conferred all power in heaven and earth on His Son Jesus Christ. [Matthew28:18-20].

► Jesus Christ must have been fully conversant with scientific phenomena such as (among others) universal gravitation, the strong & weak nuclear forces, the Electromagnetic Spectrum, the Periodic Table of the Elements, Acoustics, Quantum Physics, Biochemistry and the mysteries of His Heavenly Home, yet has He lamented the fact that He could not tell His ignorant and unsophisticated first-century audiences about the ‘Heavenly Things’. [John3:12].

► During His ministry on earth Jesus Christ demonstrated His power over the elements and forces of nature. [Mark4:41].

► The Bible is replete with examples attesting to the fact that God has created the Universe, that He has created the Cosmos through Jesus Christ His Son and that the Universe and its basic laws are maintained and managed by Jesus Christ [Genesis1:1; 2:4; Isaiah40:25-26; 42:5; 45:8, 12, 18; Romans1:20; Ephesians2:10; 3:19; Colossians1:16; John3:3; Hebrews1:1-4; Revelation10:6].

3. Cometh the End.  The day will come when Jesus Christ, the temporary custodian of the Kingdom of God, will deliver the Kingdom back into the custody of His Heavenly Father:

   “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” [1Corinthians15:22, 24-26].
