Looie; Hi... what's new?
Skrooie;  I have a New hat!
Looie; ... Where's your old one?
Skrooie; Oh... This is it; it's the same hat, only it's New!
Looie; Huh¿  How can one and the same hat be both old and new at one and the same time?
Skrooie; Easy... the old one is disappearing. It is invisible because it has 'vanished away' just like this verse says.
Looie; Wait-a-minit Skroobal... er I mean Skrooie, how can a hat that is invisible be the exact same hat as one I can see?
Skrooie; Hi dunno; go ask a covenant theologian!
