So if time is irrelevant...why is time discribe in the eternal. Are we then wrong to assume that eternal has no end?
What are your thoughts as to beginning and end.....alpha and omega......why is it called the end times?

Two things.....

a. JESUS is the beginning and ending of all things I.E. HE CREATED all things and ALL things will face his judgment.....
b. Time is marked off eternity in this essence....

The whole concept of the new heavens and earth is lost on literalists - how can there be months in eternity after the creation of the new heaven and earth:

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

God has no beginning or end he remains supernatural without nature or a beginning. His first creation had an end when he corrupted it. Although things are moving as usual for God, the new creation has a beginning as time it just will not end having a different foundation . Never ending months remain for the new creation.

The tree is Christ. He who has no beginning of Spirit or end yields his in corruptible grace every month forever and ever .

I think only new as in 'fresh start", so to-speak, to us; not "new" as in knowledge to G-d. But this is one of those great questions like, did Adam and Eve have a belly button, or did the pre-incarnate Messiah look the same as the incarnate Messiah!?!....

The Bible was not written to God, but to us- therefore it is for our perspective. Nothing is new to an all-knowing God. Eternity will be a never ending continuance. Notice that the sun and moon mark time (not cause time).

So eternity seems to have a time thing...... scripture also tells us of leaves from a tree will bring healing to the nation's.

Why....what type of healing????

We will be healed of everything because our physical body will be done away with, and we will eat from the tree of life which will cause us to never die again whether physically or spiritually. What kind of healing? All.

Wow, do you really believe that you are eternal and must lower yourself to a mortal to view time from God's perspective?

Then why did you write me the response? :cool:

If you couldn't read, I wouldn't write and tell you that you couldn't read, because you would already know that you couldn't read it. But I did not write you because you did not know the truth, but because you know the truth and no lie is of the truth.
