Yeah, it’s “a new material called Liquid Glass.” and here is how Apple describes it: “This translucent material reflects and refracts its surroundings, while dynamically transforming to help bring greater focus to content, delivering a new level of vitality across controls, navigation, app icons, widgets, and more.”
They say it’s new. But liquid glass was described 2000 years ago.
Oh sure, the following description isn’t talking about some cool new device. But this liquid glass is in the middle of some wild and crazy creatures. And don’t take my word for it. Here’s the eyewitness account:
~ Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!” ~
That same eyewitness, a man named John, shared another description of liquid glass.
And here’s what he said about that:
~ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ~
Now, I see the power of God’s love everywhere I look. And those words from the apostle, John, who actually walked with Jesus, are great examples.
First, John saw these things and wrote down his descriptions around 2000 years ago. And his words, inspired by God, are part of the best selling book of all time. People all around the world have had their eternal destination changed by hearing the words of that book. And that’s despite how many other people did their level best to destroy even any evidence of the book.
But I believe God’s powerful love kept that from happening.
Because He believes at least a portion of the world will choose to believe and trust in His Son. So, for their sake, He’s preserved His word through centuries of a broken, fallen world that mostly turns its back on Him.
I hope that doesn’t include you. And if it does right now, put down your liquid glass device and take a moment to be sure you’ll see and enjoy that river of water of life forever. It only takes a few seconds. And a dose of humility. Just tell God you realize how much you need Him. Tell Him you’re sorry for hurting others and for hurting yourself. Ask Him to change you. And He will.
And then don’t be surprised when you find yourself loving Him on a level you’ve never loved anyone else in your life. Because no one else in your life can give you eternal life.
I wrote a song called The Pure Place inspired by part of what John saw. Here’s the chorus:
I want to find the Pure Place…that glitters like gold
I need to find the Pure Place…never hot or cold
I’d love to find the Pure Place…
Let the Light shine on my face…
No dreams I’d ever have to chase…
No bad that we could not erase…
I’d love to find…the Pure Place!
