Seeing the Invisible

 

Colossians 1:16

The invisible is anything we are not able to see with the eye, it is hidden from our view it is in a dimension beyond our reality.   We live in a three-dimension world, but our Lord Jesus Christ the Creator of all that is and was, created dimensions, and they have no control over him.  This is what Colossians 1:16, states; “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible (like you and me) and invisible, (like God or angels and demons) whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him.”

My first time to study dimensional truths was under TW Hunt in Spring Texas, and I must tell you it was an eye opener.  It also awakened in me the desire to see what is unseen, that sounds like a contradictory term, because we humans seem to be limited to what we can see, touch, and feel with our hands.

So I turned to Rick Groleau who is managing editor of NOVA Online.   This is what Rick has to say about other dimensions:  “For most of us, or perhaps all of us, it's impossible to imagine a world consisting of more than three spatial dimensions. Are we correct when we intuit that such a world couldn't exist? Or is it that our brains are simply incapable of imagining additional dimensions—dimensions that may turn out to be as real as other things we can't detect?

String theorists are betting that extra dimensions do indeed exist; in fact, the equations that describe superstring theory require a universe with no fewer than 10 dimensions. But even physicists who spend all day thinking about extra spatial dimensions have a hard time describing what they might look like or how we apparently feeble-minded humans might approach an understanding of them. That's always been the case, and perhaps always will be.”

Ten dimensions that are talked about, and a God who has created them for His glory and purpose.  Do you recall the story in 2 Kings 6:15-17, when the servant went out early in the morning and saw the army of the king of Syria surrounding the city and he came running to Elisha with the news.  This was how Elisha prayed; “Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, open his eyes that he may see.”  So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” 

Until we look beyond what is seen with our eyes and we ask God, “who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light to give us the ability to see beyond what is seen, we will be blind to the invisible.
