What is 'Time'?

What is Time?

Our life spans 60 to 100 years. Do we have to plan meticulously to maximise all the time available?

I understand that some insects have a lifespan of less than 10 days. Do they rush through the 10 days to accomplish all they want in their 'short' lifetime?

Will Time Travel be a reality?

Is it true that a thousand years on Earth is but a day in Heaven?

The great Albert Einstein told us that 'Time is relative'. And that is true.

After God created the Heaven and the Earth, the Earth rotates around the Sun, giving us a measure of year, month, day, hour, minute and second.

However God is not subject to the dimension of Time! God created the stars and the planets and hence the concept of Time. But God is not part of what He created. God is above what He has created. God is above Time. God is 'outside' the Time dimension.

God said His name is "I AM WHO I AM". It is in the present tense. There is no past tense or future tense.

To God, there is no past and future. All events happen in the present tense. So the existence of Adam and Eve, of David and Solomon, of Jesus, and of your own self is not over a period of time.

When the Bible provides a perspective of Time and historical events, the writers were simply writing in human perspective, in human language. It is not in God's perspective.

Our Time is from God. So what if we die at 100 year old, or 10 days old? It's only relevant while we are human and finite. It's not relevant when we are no longer human.

But God is infinite.
