Wow! Thank you, too! Your reply is to me (and hopefully to all else who will read), sweet light reminding us of just how great the witness of God in creation is that He has given us.
Paul tells us, [Rom.1:17] God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith (my faith to your faith - and especially the faith of the Church: the Bride to the faith of Israel: her Groom - the remnant of all those who had walked in faith from the time of Abraham to John the revelator).
And, Paul continues saying, [1:18] God's wrath is revealed from heaven! (to/against the ungodly) So if His wrath is revealed from heaven, his blessing must also be revealed from heaven. That is, [1:19] what is known of God (both His wrath and His blessing) is manifest - in them (the wrath) and in us (the blessing).
How? As you have now wonderfully shown us and as Paul wrote, [1:20] For the invisible things from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made... (The things that are, as you wrote, the very ebbs and flows of the cycles of nature rippling through our very lives here in this shadow realm in which we now find ourselves... walking... back to where we came from.)
