These are islands off of Lanikai Beach near Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii. It has been quite a while since I visited the beaches in that area. Must remedy that soon with another trip out there. It is amazing how a photograph can capture a moment in time; frozen and still and something that will last many years. The man on the beach was oblivious to the fact that he was captured in time and space to be viewed by many in future years.
What is time, anyway? One dictionary gives as their first definition: "A particular portion or part of duration, whether past, present or future. The time was; the time has been; the time is; the time will be."
One commentator has said, "In a sense, the marking of time is irrevelant to God because He transcends it. ..... God's perspective on time is far different from mankind's . The Lord does not count time as we do. He is above and outside the sphere of time. The time that passes on earth is of no consequence from God's timeless perspective."
We all understand the concept of time and we know what it is and what it means. What is difficult to comprehend is that in heaven, in that other dimension, there is no time. Our time on this earth is spent in a physical realm; heaven is a spiritual realm or dimension.
Moses, in Psalm 90:4, used a simple yet powerful analogy to describe the timelessness of God: "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night."
I suppose one might say that our entire life is like a series of quick snapshots; fragments of time captured here and there to make up our life..... and then we are gone.
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." - Psalm 90:10
If you are a true believer in the Savior Jesus Christ, when you die you will be with the Lord forever. It is passing from this dimension to another.
2 Corinthians 5:6 and verse 8 tells us: (6) "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (8) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
Following is a 29 minute video from prophecyinthenews.com featuring Dan Goodwin, an evangelist and author, who explains more about time in this discourse which is titled :"When Time Shall Be No More".
We need to be aware of the season of time that we are now living in. It is the last hour of the last days. Bible prophecy or the precursors of it are in motion right now and converging all at once like never before, with great intensity.
Read Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 to alert you to the signs of the times we find ourselves in right now. The signs of the end of the age.
The signs that the Rapture of the church is very near.
Don't be left behind to face the terrible events that transpire during the horrific 7 year tribulation period.
Turn to Jesus in faith and live a life totally surrendered to Him.
Repent of your sins.
Jesus loves you.
He will welcome you with open arms of love and forgiveness when you repent and put your faith in Him.
Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us: (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
Have a wonderful and blessed weekend....
Have a Christ centered weekend and life !
