What if we could “see” Heavenly things and glorious wonders of eternity? The Bible reveals many visions of Yahweh’s, people, Prophets and Apostles who have had Heavenly visions… and encountered miraculous events, such as the Transfiguration of Yeshua with Peter, James and John on the mountain [mat 17:1-3 nkjv].

What does it mean for us to have “Spirit eyes?” I think it means that we, by faith, choose to “see” and hear “internally” [within our hearts] the absolute reality of Yahweh’s Word... more than we accept the lies and distortions of the temporal and sinful philosophy and expression of this fallen society and its culture of death… which presents an illusion [temporally] that is demonically orchestrated to capture our thinking and emotions… yet its wrapped in the same appetizing offer that Eve chose to indulge in when the serpent presented the lie to her in the Garden of Eden. Even Paul points to this contrast in his second letter to the Corinthians:

“while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 cor 4:18 nkjv

There is a belief or concept, if you may, that proposes a realm of “Now, but not yet.” In the view of the ancients, the Sages wisely saw Yahweh’s Word as all inclusive… concluded if I can use that example, but the incomplete portion is yet to become. As noted here:

“In Hebrew there are really only two verb tenses; complete actions and incomplete actions. That's because Hebrew "sees" the world with a completely different framework than Indo-European languages. It sees the world in terms of actions rather than time. Our Indo-European languages offer many more shades of meaning in verbs.” [ref Skip Moen link]

These ideas, Biblical realities, are confirmed in the Psalmist words:

“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.” ps 119:89 nkjv This is a “done deal,” as it is seen from Yahweh’s perspective, “outside of time.” Yahweh said He has set [magnified] His Word above His Name… ps 138:2 nkjv Therefore, If you have read it in the Sacred Word, it has been, IS, and will be… meaning, you and I [all believers] are in a transitioning state as we walk with Yeshua, as He walked, trusting Him in obedience to His Word, and not following the deceptive illusion that all the distorted menus of Babylon hand us daily. It is a CHOICE.

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; “ deut 30:19 nkjv This is a “forever settled” condition… then and now, and tomorrow; choose wisely, because Yahweh says:

“Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ 11 Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man who executes My counsel, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it.” isa 46:9-11 nkjv

Just as Yahweh showed Moses the “Heavenly Tabernacle,” the likes of by which he was to build the earthly tabernacle, precisely, for the purpose that He would dwell therein among them… Yahweh has shown us the “Heavenly Man,” [Yeshua, the Word that became flesh] the likes of by which we are to conform our “earthly” temples [bodies] and actions to… it is a parallel exactness that we can verify as we read the Torah and carefully observe the life of Yeshua… they are identical. Let us not be distracted by any source that tries to separate their exact likeness. Yeshua said, “they who endure unto the end shall be saved.” That is a [Now, but not yet], in process issue with us along “our time line,” but completed in the eternal realm. Don’t let anyone or anything shift your “spirit eyes” from the “Heavenly Man,” our pattern for all eternity.
