Views life from a heavenly perspective, so that the waves and even storms of circumstances are seen from above.
This perspective is a complement to the Bathyscopic Views. In adversity or persecution comes, we can either view it in the light of Heaven, or we can dive down to take refuge in the deep love, wisdom and power of God.
Periscopic View of the Bible
Contents of this page
This section lets us see “the light of Heaven on the waves of circumstances of this life”, just as a periscope lets us see the view above the surface of the waves.
As it gazes into the light of Heaven we see what the Bible tells us about the fact that the “heavens do rule” (Daniel 4:26), and some of the ways that the Rulership of God is demonstrated on earth: the gifts of the Spirit, healings, deliverance, miracles, faith to overcome, ministry by God’s angels to the heirs of salvation. We also learn to look at the ups and downs and calamities of life in the long-term perspective of
-
God’s purposes,
-
Heaven, and the New Jerusalem, (our future home)
But first, let’s ask God to show us His glory.
Show Me Thy Glory
Show me Thy glory, O blessed Savior!
Open my eyes that I may behold
Thy wondrous Person, Thy glorious Image!
Show me thy glory, and I shall be made whole.
Let Thy glory be revealed,
Wondrous glory be revealed,
The glory that You had with the Father,
The glory that You had before the world!
Let Thy glory be revealed,
Wondrous glory be revealed,
The glory that You prayed would be given to Your own!
Let Thy glory be revealed in me.

9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:

11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
