During the course of World War 2 there was a coding devise called ‘The Enigma.’ This devise was so good that it was a riddle to all the code breakers, the only way to break the code of the Enigma was to capture that devise from the enemy. It would take the Enigma to release the secrets locked within itself. All the codes were held within it’s keys, all the riddles of death and destruction could only be solved and revealed by the riddle maker itself, the Enigma.

We travel as fibers or grains of dust in an ever expanding history of man that will come to it’s fullness in the new heaven and in the new earth. As each grain of dust catches the light it becomes a visible flicker, and so our life passes before the sunbeam; we are visible for a small moment in time, but present for all eternity.
