It’s not that there’s not enough time, but too much of it.
Time was created. Yes, the subject and problem with time is a religious issue. Which is likely to leave many if not most, out of their element—even the religious.
One must first understand that everything—including time—exist within God. That is, within God who is timeless, or eternal. Meaning that time exists within a timeless context like an internal component in God. Actually, time is an incremental creation of eternity into bite-size pieces for the purpose of gradual revelation of the otherwise overwhelming and unlimited knowledge of God. Quite the mouthful—and that’s the point. The whole thing all at once would kill a child of God.
Is that not similar with knowledge and our own children, although not as extreme? Sure it is!
Still, the greatest amount of proof available to those within the time bubble, would say otherwise. Making time principles as experienced within the bubble, the common understanding and belief. Understandably.
Yet, what has that got to do with the greater context in which time exists (in God)? Nothing, actually. So, it becomes an impassable wall between us and our Creator, as long as we hold on to it, or die. You see, dying is a point of transition out of time and back to that greater context of God from which we were created. That is why there are some who see their whole life pass before their eyes in a near death experience.
So, what’s the problem? Can’t we just live with it until we naturally die? Isn’t that the plan of creation? The problem is that time was created to be a time of revelation, not of just living with time as if it were actually otherwise important. It’s not. Time, is for revelation. That is the purpose of time. So we are eventually suppose to get that last little bit of information and knowledge that finishes the need for time-based revelation: The understanding of time itself.
What then is the great volume of information and knowledge that ends with understanding time? It’s God—the complete revelation.
How is it attained? It is attained by removing the component of time from all the previous revelations…which are the Holy Scriptures from God. When you do—they have different meaning—that timeless meaning of Him who has incrementally been releasing it all down through the ages “precept upon precept. line upon line, here a little there a little.” Isaiah 28:10-13
When was this last bit of knowledge supposed to be revealed in the revelation process? In simple terms: Near the end. But here is what is written of it:
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And swore by him that lives for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that are therein, and the earth, and the things that are therein, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.” Revelation 10:5-7
When we begin to “no longer” consider everything according to “time”—the complete “mystery of God” is “finished.”
