"There is a special time for everything. There is a time for everything that happens under heaven. There is a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pick what is planted. There is a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up. There is a time to cry, and a time to laugh; a time to have sorrow, and a time to dance. There is a time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to kiss, and a time to turn from kissing. There is a time to try to find, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away. There is a time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; a time to be quiet, and a time to speak. There is a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8"That which has been, is that which will be, and that which has been done, is that which will be done." Ecclesiastes 1:9
"That which is, has already been, and that which will be, has already been, for God seeks what has passed by." Ecclesiastes 3:15
For years I have had many seasons of wrestling with the concept of "time" in regards to the Kingdom of Heaven. A couple months ago the old familiar subject of time came up again in my studies and meditations. Where as in the past I could study "time" for a period and lay it down knowing I had gone as far as I could within that season in exploring the subject, this was not to be so. I wrestled with this subject to the point of great travail and yet I could not lay it down as before. I read all I could find on the subject in both scientific, secular and religious articles. I would read often until the wee hours of morning until my eyes began to cross. I really wanted to let it go but it seemed the Spirit would not allow it. So enveloped and consumed was I with the study of time that I had not an inkling to write on another subject as far as a SONSHINE blog. I was empty in all areas and there was no inspiration with regard to anything I might write. So empty was I, that I even wondered at times whether I could ever write again and then this morning at about 3 AM God revealed to me the answer to my perplexity concerning the subject of "time." It came by way of a prophesy I had copied a year or two ago to a file. At the time I read this prophetic word, I thought it a bit too far out but yet for some reason I recorded it and then completely forgot all about it.
After a few thoughts I will end this blog with this very prophesy with the hope that you might pray about it and possibly even be led to meditate on it. Lord willing, in a proceeding blog or two I will try and share some more thoughts on the "mystery of time" ............ and yes it certainly is a mystery ........ a mystery I believe as great as God Himself.
As a prelude to the prophesy, let me say that scientists, philosophers and theologians have become increasingly argumentative about what exactly "time" is. The question of "time" is being recognized in many fields as the most fundamental question of all. Of course when the theologian thinks of "time" in relationship with God the concept of "eternity" comes up which only seems to bring more perplexity to the subject. How do you even describe "eternity" without using terms that denote "time." Try it and you will find it can't be done thus we glimpse the first light of the conundrum of "time." Some would say "eternity is the absence of time" to which I might respond quite contrarily, "eternity is God, who is the fullness of time."
Lastly did you know that before the second century AD that there is no evidence of any kind of word carrying the concept of "eternity in any culture, language or artifact. As is the case with so much corruption it took the theologians to invent a concept that contradicts that which God has set in the Bible as "world lasting or age lasting" (aion and it's derivatives). Alexander Thomson in his booklet "How Eternity Slipped In" states:
It may be stated, without fear of contradiction, that the more one explores into the early centuries of Christendom, the clearer does it become that a corrupt theology was alone responsible for displacing the teaching regarding the eons by a dogma respecting "eternity."
PROPHESY by LOLADE ADEGOKE
Nigeria (9/27/o6)
I AM Time. I sit and inhabit Eternity. I am NOW.
I was and will forever be.
I AM Time, and have come Now.
The time of man has ceased to exist.
I, Time, have taken My Place.
Mark well that the frequency of occurrence of events increases as I am ushered in. Years become as months, months become as weeks, weeks as days, days as hours, hours as minutes and minutes as seconds. Watch and be found faithful, and not just faithful, but true!
You ARE My Word gone forth.
Execute and BE.
The earth cries out to be delivered of the souls that she carries. The voices of the slain cry out; can you not hear them?
Nations, kings, peoples and men who have built their nations, kingdoms, houses and lands by shedding the blood of others, shall begin to reap their reward now.
For the Day IS.
And the day reveals all that has been done in the dark of the night. The Day is; and the Day utters all that has been formed in the night.
I AM the Day. I AM the Night; and all that men did in the dark of the night I have patiently watched.
It is time for the day to reveal all that the night has seen. The Light dwells in Me, and reveals all that the dark of the night carried.
To you I have come today as EL OLAM: King of the Ages, The Ancient of Days, The Holy One that inhabits Eternity. Can variableness or shadow of turning ever be found in Me? ...........
And beloved, where is that time that you held on to?
It is not anymore.
It is no longer.
I AM TIME
I pray you might contemplate this word by the Nigerian saint given a couple years ago. Surely this utterance speaks also to the "awesome Day of Lord" we have of late been quickened to in our spirits.
Hear the cry of Revelation 22:20, “Surely I come quickly.” And then John responds to the words of the Lord, saying, “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”
The hour cometh and now is!
