Yes, for having the gift of the HS, we are new creatures in Christ, (2Co 5:17), so we have a taste of it. Don't you think it's marvellous?

Angels as I understand it, are static creatures. They can never be more than they were created to be. Thus Satan's jealousy of Adam. Mankind can become the children of God, so the difference in like between an heir and a servant.

I think we have a taste of it too. I think awe and wonder are close to timelessness/eternity experiences. I think sometimes we're given a glimpse and don't realize it.

Don't you think it's marvellous?

Incredibly so.

Never thought of it like that. Very interesting, thank you.

That is the essence of "City of Angels." If fact, the movie makes more sense with that in mind.
