Is there time with God?

„W Twojej księdze wszystkie me dni będą zapisane, ale już wtedy są one ukształtowane, gdy żaden z nich jeszcze nie zaistniał” Ps 139

 

Today, looking through my notes in the Bible (I recommend circling the interesting parts), I was reminded of this Psalm. I think for a reason, because one, I was supposed to do a description of a certain movie, which I will do today, and two, Emilka mentioned it in a comment, although she doesn't know about it herself 🙂 I think it's a good idea to do it today.

So the entry will be about what Cupak 🙂 as an exact mind likes.

 

 

We live in the physical world in the four known dimensions of space-time length, width, height (or depth) and time. But God dwells in another dimension-spiritual reality-beyond the perception of our physical senses.

His Person is not limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world:

 

„Bo tak mówi Ten Najwyższy. Ten mieszkający na wieki na wysokościach, a którego imię jest „Święty wśród świętych”: Króluję na wysokim i świętym miejscu, lecz jestem też z tym, który jest skruszony i pokorny duchem, aby ożywić ducha pokornych i pokrzepić serca skruszonych.” Iz 57.15

 

God is eternal. He was is and will be. His abode is high above us, though He worries about us contemptible humans.

In Psalm 90 we are shown the timelessness of God:

 

For a thousand years in your eyes is like yesterday's day that has passed away, And like a night watch. (5) You swiftly snatch them away, they are like a morning dream, Like grass that disappears: (6) In the morning it blooms and grows, By the evening it wilts and withers

 

God sees everything past, future, and eternity everlasting. The time He passes on earth is meaningless from the perspective of God's timelessness.

 

God is also a spirit:

 „Bóg jest duchem” (J 4,24)

 

 

Additionally, the science of physics tells us that time is a property arising from the existence of matter. As such, time exists when there is a case. But God is not matter; For God created matter. The bottom line is this: time, began when God created the universe. Before that, God simply existed.  Because it wasn't invalid, and because God doesn't change, time didn't exist and therefore has no meaning, no relationship to Him. It is matter that passes away, but spirit does not. In John's gospel we read:

 

 

The spirit brings life. THE FLESH HELPS NOTHING. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit and life, (64) but there are some among you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who are unbelievers and who will give it away.

 

 

God has no beginning or end. He is beyond the realm of time. He is the Alpha and the Omega. Eternity is not something that can be completely associated with God. God is even beyond eternity. 

Scripture reveals that God lives beyond the limits of time as we know it. Nasze przeznaczenie było zaplanowane „przed początkiem czasu” (2 Tymoteusza 1: 9; Tytusa 1: 2) i „przed założeniem świata” (Ef 1: 4; 1 Piotra 1:20). „Przez wiarę poznajemy, że wszechświat powstał z rozkazu Bożego, aby to, co jest postrzegane nie powstaoł z tego, co było widoczne” (Hebrajczyków 11: 3). In other words, the physical universe we can see, hear, feel and experience was not created from existing matter, but from a source independent of the physical dimensions we can perceive.

After the completion of His activity, including the creation of creation time, what does God include? „Bóg widział, że wszystko, co uczynił, a było to bardzo dobre” (Rdz 01:31). Indeed, God is Spirit in the realm of timelessness, not flesh in the realm of time.

As believers, we have a deep sense of comfort knowing that God, though timeless and eternal, is with us at this time in this moment; He is not in the net beyond the reach of the transcendent, but here, in this moment, He is with us. And because He is in the moment, He can respond to our needs and prayers.

Whereas there is a time in heaven:

There is a time in heaven:

-when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour ( Rev. 8: 1 ).

– A gdy otworzył pieczęć piątą [męczennicy w niebie powiedział]: „I głosem donośnym tak zawołały: „Władco święty i prawdziwy! Jak długo jeszcze będziesz zwlekał z wyrokiem i karą za naszą krew na tych, co mieszkają na ziemi?”

- Between the town square and the river, on both sides, the tree of life bearing twelve fruits - bearing its fruit each month - and the leaves of the tree (serve) to heal the nations.

– Ten natomiast raz na zawsze złożył jedną ofiarę krwawą za grzech i „zasiadł po prawicy Bożej”. (13) Odtąd oczekuje, „aż jego nieprzyjaciele zostaną rzuceni jak podnóżek pod jego stopy”..  Hbr 10

- I have long been silent, I have not spoken, I have restrained myself; but now like a woman in labor I shall cry out, I shall wail and whine.

- What do you want from us, Son of God, you came here ahead of time to torment us? God came before time to the demons."( Matt. 8:29 ). Incidentally, they know that Jesus is God and that it is He who will destroy them. No angel has that kind of power.

 

Neither men nor angels can be omnipresent, even in heaven, for they would have to be Gods. The same limitation applies to timelessness. If God exists outside of time, and angels before His throne:

 

„I cztery zwierzęta – a każde z nich ma po sześć skrzydeł – dokoła i wewnątrz są pełne oczu, i nie mają spoczynku, mówiąc dniem i nocą: „Święty, Święty, Święty, Pan, Bóg, Władca wszech rzeczy, który był, który jest i który przychodzi”

 

and men serving Him, will always also be timeless, which would mean that they are also Gods. But Jesus said :

 

„otrzyma w zamian daleko więcej w tym czasie i życie wieczne w przyszłym wieku” ( Łk 18:30 )

 

So in this life he will receive much more, and in the next life eternity, because:

 

„O tak, oświadczam wam: nie przeminie to pokolenie, aż wszystko się stanie.³³ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."

 

As we note the sky will pass away. The question is which. The first, or the second.

 

There is something else about temporality. What was in Emilia's comment a let it be the introduction to my next text:

Demons know the future, but only of enslaved people. Saved people, saved by the blood of Jesus, escape the demons' predictability, which is why psychics of all kinds can no longer predict the future for such people. God is just going to hinder the process of the effect of sin, which I believe is the demons' plan for people in bondage.
