Jan 4, 2022 · Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time? In Psalm 90:4, Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.”. The eternity of God is contrasted with the temporality of man.

The Bible has different concepts of time than we might assume today. The New Testament (NT) has two main concepts of time represented by two Greek words: chronos (χρόνος) and kairos (καιρός). Chronos is about sequential time as we often think of it – clocks, calendars, and weekend plans. It’s where we get words like chronological.

Billy Graham was once asked what he was most surprised by in life.

Like penny candy. I always had a pocketful—and spent th...
Jesus told His brothers that they could go up to the feast whenever they wanted to go, because their time was “always opportune” (7:6). The implication is that they were not living under God’s time, as Jesus was. D. A. Carson (The Gospel According to John[Eerdmans/Apollos], p. 308) says that Jesus meant “that what they did was utterly without signi...

But here (7:6, 8) John uses the Greek word that refers to an opportune time. Jesus means that the God-appointed time for Him to go up to Jerusalem and reveal Himself was not yet at hand. ...

How can he “seek first God’s kingdom”?Prayerfully write a brief life purpose statement and 2-3 goals for the New Year.Jun 7, 2011 · By Anita Mathias. There were two words for time in koine Greek, Chairos and Chronos. Chronos was clock time, sequential time. Chairos was special: “the right time,” God’s Time. Jesus points out the difference when he tells his disciples. “The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right,” John 7.6.
Psalm 90:1-10. Psalm 90 gives us probably the best biblical perspective of time. This psalm, the only one attributed to Moses, compares how man and God view time and life. His conclusion, of course, is that man and God look at time from entirely different perspectives. It is this difference in point of view that makes a huge difference in how ...
