Prehistoric Creatures on Display

Because we are creatures of time it is very difficult for us to grasp the "timeless" concept of eternity. This is, no doubt, at least part of the reason that we find it much easier to envision things always going on and on into the future, than to look back into the past and imagine when there was nothing!

As truly impressive and intricate as our minds are, as vast a range of capabilities as they demonstrate, we are still finite creatures and soon come to our limits, thus it is good that we have "the Word of God" to give us some insight into eternity–past and future. In this connection the epistles of Paul prove especially helpful.
