Whenever there is a solar eclipse, there are SO many warnings to be careful not to look directly at it, because the radiance of the sun is blinding if our eyes are not shielded.
In the same way, the radiance of God is blinding. God's house is so beautiful, but it is beyond our capacity to view it, and so we can only think of it through a lens in our present time. We talk about beauty in this world, about fullness in this world, and we remember that these things point to God's radiance and God's beauty, for we understand the concept of beauty, and so there is a place in our heart that can grasp the goodness of what God has set before us. We were made for this, and although sin has separated us from being able to fully grasp it, we can still understand the concept that what is before us is an eternity of awe and wonder.
