“For now we see only a
reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12
“The law is only a shadow of
the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves.” Hebrews 10:1a
Sometimes,
I feel like philosophy was simply a study on the systematic search for God. In
this short video on Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, the narrator explains a
concept of the real world versus the shown world.
Video on “What is Real?
(Plato’s Allegory of the Cave) / 8-bit Philosophy
It is quite interesting to see
how many of the thoughts and questions delivered from famous philosophers are
parallel to many of the verses in the Bible. The world that we see, according
to the Bible, is simply a reflection, a mere shadow of what really is. This
place is what is temporary. This is the so-called Beta phase. What is real
shall be soon, the coming of His kingdom.
As to answer the question of the
narrator in the video, yes, we will. We will soon lose our shackles of
perception and truly see God in his throne.
