You Won’t See It Coming

You won’t see it coming.

Most Christians believe the “Kingdom of God/Heaven” is a future thing. They look around and don’t see any evidence that it exists. There are no markings, no trails, no remains or residue to be found. So, the conclusion is that because it can’t be observed by standard means, the Kingdom of God/Heaven must not be there.

That conclusion is just… well… crap.

See, the kingdom of God/Heaven is like a bat. Wait a minute - what?!

Yep, blind as a bat.

You remember how in grade school we learned that while bats have small, poorly developed eyes, they actually aren’t blind; in fact they can see pretty good. But, bats are nocturnal and those tiny eyes don’t do well at night and are useless for navigating through pitch-black caves and caverns. So, to compensate, bats use echolocation - bouncing sounds off of nearby objects to create “visual maps” that allow them to “see” in the dark.

What most of us don’t learn in grade school is that the sounds that bats emit are “ultrasonic” - sounds at such a high frequency that humans can’t hear them. And, that’s good ‘cause those sounds come out from the bats at whopping 140 decibels. If you go to a really loud rock concert  . . .
