After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here"
rev 4:1
Right now our eyes look at the landscape around us and see grass browned by the sun, cars speeding around as though they were actually doing something important, beleaguered people bent beneath the weight of the day bearing down upon their weary shoulders…just normal, everyday, life. Yet at the very same moment, somewhere beyond reckoning, upon a deep blue expanse, living creatures cry out at the sight of unthinkable beauty, elders fall, the voices of angels resound through the heavenly assembly. Covered with eyes, the burning ones surrounding His throne gaze upon Him with ever replenishing wonder.
