Open Your Eyes

You've probably seen this, but it's always worth another look:



Isaiah 6 says:

                             Holy, Holy, Holy is Yahweh of hosts; 
                               the whole earth is full of his glory. 

Another translation of the second line, and one that may be more accurate is:

                              the fullness of the earth is his glory. 

Both essentially convey the same thought, with the second adding a little more emphasis: the earth, in all its majestic splendor is the glory (Hb. kavod, lit. "weight") of God

With this is mind, the words in the video function as a benediction, "Open your eyes to the power, the majesty and the wonder of planet earth."

hence why to me the modern Christian view of heaven has seemed so boring to me - earth is amazing. I'd rather redeem it than leave it. Man that sounds like a bumper sticker.

Print them up! That is why the Biblical concept of redeeming, renewing, and recreating heaven and earth is so important.
