Such a contrast when every eye sees Jesus coming: A very dark room when suddenly someone opens the shutters.
The current age is like living in a "dark room," waiting for the moment the shutters open—Jesus' coming. Paul experienced this when the sight of the glory of Jesus came to him suddenly, and it physically blinded him on the Damascus Road. He had been in the grim dark without any light, then the light blinded him with its sudden brightness. A revelation is coming to all that is both thrilling and blinding, depending on whether one has embraced the hidden reality of Jesus in their life now.
