The
opening of heaven,
by
all accounts,
was
not an every-day occurrence.
At
Jesus' baptism, by John,
in
the flowing waters of the Jordan,
this
rare event,
(according
to some ancient stories),
took
place. On that occasion,
we
are told, heaven's stately doors
swung
wide on their ethereal hinges,
allowing
the divine spirit to descend
and
to mingle outrageously
with
that which is human.
While
the record may well be incomplete,
no
mention is made
of
their subsequent closure.
