Placemarker ... God made us to operate via data received, thus we are oriented to the past, albeit recent past most of the time, but oriented to the past events we sense. There are episodes int he Bible which indicate that our sensing of the where/when of our universe is not even near complete, like the being who stood in one where/when while reaching over into the party central of the King in Babylon, to write a judgment on the wall; the being was in one where/when while the hand reached ‘back’/’over/into the where/when of Belshazzar [Daniel Chptr5]. And that is but one episode of several in the Bible pages! The Resurrection itself is an astonishing example of another connection to an existing where/when we cannot sense in our present state. BUT, God has promised His family will, eventually.

Indeed. Thank you so much for those beautiful examples and insights, dear brother in Christ!

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. - John 20:26-27

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. – Hebrews 13:2

To God be the glory, not man, never man.
