Daniel 7:13-14I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.

The flesh tends to look at "things".. linearly.. in a linear way..
i.e. Whats.. HERE is not THERE.. NOW is not Then.. like that..
I appreciate I Cor 2;9 in that sense..
When the SPirit hits the fan we might all be quite surprised
at what "IS" and what "is NOT"...
