Predstavljajte si, da ste član Nasine ekipe, ki se pripravlja na petletno odpravo na Mars. Po dolgotrajnem, napornem usposabljanju končno napoči datum izstrelitve. Ko se raketa odlepi od tal, vas kolega astronavt vpraša: »Kaj veš o Marsu?« Pomislite, kako bi bilo, če bi skomignili z rameni in odgovorili: »Nič. O tem se pa nismo pogovarjali. Bomo že videli, ko bomo pristali.« To je nepredstavljivo, drži? Preprosto ni mogoče, da usposabljanje ne bi vključevalo obširnega proučevanja končnega cilja in priprav nanj. Pa vendar se v teoloških šolah in cerkvah po svetu zelo malo poučuje naš končni cilj: nova nebesa in nova zemlja. Izvemo, kako lahko v nebesa pridemo in da je ta cilj boljši kot pekel – le malo pa se učimo o nebesih samih.
