We have heard over the years that black holes are believed to be collapsed stars and dense points of vacuum in the universe.  We have been told that the gravity pull of black holes is so intense that planets and even galaxies cannot resist their pull. It has been believed that black holes are so dense that not even the slightest amount of light can be detected, hence the name “black” hole.  Movies have portrayed the horrible possibilities of being sucked into black holes.  The actors are terrified at the consideration of even the slightest chance of coming too close to one.  I heard an astro-physicist explaining a new view on the origin and make-up of black holes.  It would seem that due to recent calculations and information coming in from the Hubble telescope that a biblical premise might be more aptly considered.  Updated observation and new calculations are determining that black holes have a characteristic about them that indicates there has been a “rolling” or “folding” of vast amounts of something. With the technology that astro-physicists now have and the recent information they have obtained, it appears that black holes have a great deal to do with the collapsing of time and dimensions.  The man quoted Heb.1:10-12  “And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:  They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;  And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.”

The summation of the evidence would indicate that there are certain dimensions and times that God has finished with and, as a result, has rolled or folded them up in order to do away with using them.  That is what I meant before when I wrote that there are “black holes” and certain “planets” that we must avoid in order to reach the goal which is before us.  There are times and dimensions of our lives that God has used in the past but He is now moving us on from them.  There were places and times in our lives that once played a significant part in “pulling” us on to destiny.  Now they have the ability to pull us back and suck us back into their blackness where there is no light on what God is doing presently.  If we hang around those times and dimensions that are used up and have “waxed old as doth a garment”, they will pull us into their dense darkness.
