A photograph or a painting is two-dimensional, while a sculpture is three-dimensional. Time is often described as the fourth dimension. We can see the first three dimensions but we have real difficulty in seeing time. We notice its results but we don’t really perceive it. This is especially difficult for children. Until about 9 or 10, children have little concept of time. They may be able to recite the numbers on a digital clock or the position of the hands on a clock face, but they do not have an inner understanding of the meaning of time.
God, we believe, can see time, but our human view is much more limited. Scientists postulate that there may be other dimensions beyond space and time but we can only imagine them. Perhaps heaven is another dimension beyond our understanding. There is so much that we do not know. We do know that there are sounds too high and too low for us to hear. Even our sight is limited with some forms of light that we can’t see with the naked eye.
