We can easily feel in these days as if the darkness is closing in, in our personal lives as well as on a national and international scale. The Lord wants to open our eyes to see where all of history is heading,  culminating in his kingdom gloriously manifest in new heavens and a new earth. But this kingdom has already broken into our world and lives, if we, like Elisha's servant in 2 Kings 6v13-17, can but see it!
