God is eternal. He has no beginning or end. He is the one who created time. Time has a beginning. Time has an end. Since God created time he can see all things within it's realm in the matter of a nanosecond. From the beginning to the end. If you are reading this then you are still subject to the realm of time since the eternal part of you (your soul) is embodied by flesh.
Do you think this subject is fascinating?
One more thing to chew on. Do you think we all die and the same moment? If time is just a blip in comparison to eternity and the scripture says we are ALL changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, the dead are raised and the living are caught up.
Whether you go take a 10 minute power nap or get 8 hours sleep where did the time go?

YES i have looked at it and examined it most closley
and our Time is NOT HIS TIME
as a thousand years is as a day and a day as a thousand years to God
a week is 7 years
and a moment is but a blink of an eye
as 2000 years has past to us since Christs death and resurrection
to HIM its only been 2 days
and in a moment as fast as time for us is flying by
so it is as He said it would be
that " i will shorten the days for the very elects sake , unless no flesh be saved "
HIS WAYS are not our ways
His thoughts are not our thoughts
SO High above is His ways then our ways and His thoughts then our thoughts
so is Time , beyond our thinking or ability to comprehend
Completely.....
Only what He allows us to see
By His Grace

I don't think time really does have a beginning or or end; at least not in the way we are able to consider it.
Bill Cloud has a fascinating teaching on this subject. If you study Hebraic roots, the Bible says time is cyclical and not linear. The Bible says "the end is known from the beginning" meaning if we know the beginning, we can know the end; i.e., history repeats itself.
I believe time is a one of the dimensions we cannot wrap our brains around yet in our present carnal state. But since the Bible says, "We are seated with Christ in heavenly places"and uses the *present* tense, then we are already there in that dimension somehow.
Robert Faid, an American nuclear scientist, writes about TEN dimensions (including the obvious physical dimensions of length, width, and breadth, and again, time) discovered by physicists in Colorado in 1984 in his book, "A Scientific Approach to Biblical Mysteries."
Rob Bell discusses dimension of time and space in his DVD "Everything is Spiritual."
I do think this subject is fascinating and have only begun to study it. I have a long way to go!

Yes, it is fascinating and I can't get all that far as it is mind boggling! It has to be a whole another dimension for sure.
One can watch the minute hand make a revolution and feel that it takes forever, or that time has not passed at all. Precise measurement is immaterial. If the world were to freeze for a billion years, and then start again, that billion years would not seem like even a second. And if a billion years were to collapse into a second, who would know?
How is it that a single note of music can be sounded for as long as it can be sustained or as quickly as it can be cut off -- and yet it is the same note, indistinguishably? How is it that you can sense deja vu; that great art and transcendent emotion seem to fix time in place; that, to painters, paintings can seem to move, and that for musicians music can seem to still; that in times of peak intensity motion and stillness are one; that ecstasy is both the fastest-moving thing in the world and the most time-arresting thing too?

A couple of us were discussing this very idea in our Bible Study this week. To think that God exists within the past present and future simultaneously has all kinds of implications. Kinda gives a whole knew dimension to omnipresence.
James 4:14
14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Ephesians 5:15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

It is fascinating to try to think about that but God did not give us the ability to understand time as He does. I thought about that as I read your last question. The scripture talks about how Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. BEFORE. I believe that there is true linear time and then what is eternal. The more we wonder though, the more awesome He is. Now the question about napping ..... That is a whole other subject and I only wish I knew where and what our spirit was doing then.

My pal, (or 'similitude of an aquaintance' in case you like), definite i've got felt His presence and that i'm not the tearful type yet there have been 2 or three times whilst i've got been blessed with tears in church. however the actual question i think of you're getting at is "is there evidence for the Biblical God's declare to be the only actual God?" the answer to which question is extremely definite. in case you %. a concern i could be chuffed to enlighten you on the actual evidence for the Bible. and definite there's a psychological/ emotional reaction for some human beings yet i seem for evidence in extra logical kinds like cellular biology, palientology, geology, genetics etc. and all the above extremely help the Bible. I additionally seem at prophetic indicators like the surprising unfold of awareness, motorcycles, autos, airplanes, submarines and spaceflight, which all have prophetic descriptions interior the Bible. respectively those scriptures are indexed in my components.

Yes, the Word became flesh and spent some 33 years in time, but He also continued to be fully God, reading the very thots of man & etc.
We are a two-fold being; 2nd Cor 4:16, "...though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day". Doesn't this say that when our outward man of flesh dies, our inward man of Spirit continues to live?
Think about this body of clay as a prison which has our inward man bound. When the body dies, the inward man rises from the dust of this earthly tabernacle, and returns to God. Yes, in an instant, and in the twinkling of an eye, we are changed from mortal to immortal.
Deep waters such as these are great to tread; the "strong meat" of the word mentioned in Hebrews 5:12-14.

Your questions make me smile brother:)
Time.. what a facinating subject.
Sandwiched between eternity past and eternity furture is this slot called " time"
Created by God in order to carry out His eternal purpose.
He has allotted different periods of time.. different ages and dispensations for the carrying out of things that He sees from the perspective of eternity. Our finite minds truly knows things in the realm of time. We cannot truly fathom eternity as God sees it just yet. In eternity, when we enter into it with the Lord will we truly grasp this concept. In the mean time...we live in the present.
We are told to redeem the time for the days are evil.
Eph 5:16
Redeeming the time because the days are evil.
We need to seize every favourable opportunity. This is a wise way to walk and live every day
Vs 15 says
Look therefore carefuly how you walk, not as unwise but as wise.
As believers we do not have tomorrow.. what we do have is the very second that we breathe. May our days be full of Christ and our moments be found In HIM.
Our days need to be numbered and counted for the Lord and for what weighs in eternity. Our moments are precious.. moreso on this forum. All too often I am tempted to touch things that have no profit... that have no eternal weight to the Lord and in the whole scheme of things... The Lord truly needs to have a real way to touch us in this matter of our time and how we use it.
2 Peter 3:18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen!"
Good question brother

Guess what. If God exists outside of space and time then that means God is totally unable to react or act with any part of this universe. It means that this universe is as invisible to God as God is to us.
Think about that one.
A God that exists outside of space and time is a God that does not exist in any space or time.
You have been hooked by one of those arguments that sound good until you understand what the words mean, and then it collapses into complete nonsense.

One day with the Lord is as 1,000 years. I was thinking about this scripture the other day. I am thankful that His time is not ours. I am also thankful that He has patience and He waited for me to accept Him. Sometimes we become frustrated and want the world to end, but we also want everyone to have the opportunity to accept Jesus. I am also glad that He sees my life and future, I am in His hands.
