Intelligence Brief
In Hebrew cosmology, the heavens are a solid expanse (raqia) separating the earthly realm from God's dwelling. When the heavens 'open,' the prophet sees through the barrier into the throne room itself. This is not metaphor — it is the language of apocalyptic vision, where God grants access to realities normally hidden. The same language appears at Jesus' baptism (Matthew 3:16) and Stephen's martyrdom (Acts 7:56). The opened heavens signal that God is about to speak and act decisively.
