What Does it Matter?

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

God spoke creation into existence. And the first thing He manifested was light.
Is that the Big Bang?  I don't know, I wasn't there.

When I was young we were told that everything around us is composed of atoms, and these atoms were composed of electrons, protons and neutrons and that they were mostly empty.
It kind of boggled my mind that most of the "matter" that I saw and touched (and roughed me up sometimes) was mostly empty space occupied by these elements. 

Now, the latest theories posit that that was wrong.
Actually, what we see as "matter" is actually the influence of energy (and at that, light) that vibrates and produces effects that appear as solid (or gaseous or liquid, I hope you get my drift).

Everything is vibrating like a string on a guitar that God plucked.

Hebrews 1:3 notes that the Son “upholds the universe by the word of his power,” and Colossians 1:17 says that “in Him all things hold together”.

The Bible also goes on to say that all things were created in Christ.

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend (surround) it.

The same One who holds it all together with His word, perhaps His voice.

Now the concept of energy vibrating at different frequencies manifesting itself as matter makes perfect sense. It’s the resonant frequency of God’s voice that suspends the creation.

In Revelation, John speaks of hearing a voice as of many waters. Is that the sound, the source of the vibrations that define the universe?

Powerful imagery. 

In acoustics, there is a concept called "resonant frequency".

If you strike on a tuning fork and place it next to another of that frequency, the second one will begin vibrating also, the sound emanating from the first moving the second.

If you've ever been in a room with loud bass notes and you realize that one of those notes comes out louder than the rest or seems to vibrate the room, that is the "resonant" frequency of that room, that cavity.

Blaise Pascal said:
"There was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace. This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him... though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words, by God himself."

The God-sized hole has a resonant frequency that vibrates when exposed to the Word of God.

We have sayings: "that moved me" or "I really felt that" or "that really resonates with me".

The Word of God can cause a resonance in the cavity that He was meant to fill.
