Waxing Philosophical in this Great Controversy

And now I have told you before it come to pass, 

---that, when it is come to pass,
ye might believe.....

---Now we see things imperfectly, 

*like puzzling reflections in a mirror, 

---but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.
---All that I know now is partial and incomplete, 

---but then I will know everything completely, 

just as God now knows me completely...
John 14:29/1 Corinthians 13:12NLT
