Taking a look at Revelations as a possible Yahgan translation project, I noted towards the end that it looks as if for the faithful there will be no night anymore (not too great if you're still into astronomy- I guess you really can't take it with you!)- likewise the lake of fire for the other folks isn't likely to be great for viewing.
So WHAT exactly is supposed to happen to the rest of the cosmos after Earth is all done- does it go out of business? The writers at the time had no idea of the scale of things- as far as they were concerned the visible stars might as well have been Truman's stage lamps. How come the folks getting all this great wisdom from beyond seem to have missed all this- what, God mum about cosmology? And how come, since glass and primitive lenses existed, didn't any of the elite figure out how to make a telescope- a kid's accidental discovery. One would think that something so momentous would be the privelege of the prophets....
