As Yohanan mentioned, Donna's post does provoke such colorful imagery of Heaven. Puts one in a warm, contemplative mood, doesn't it? As far as time in Heaven, I lean toward David's position-- that there will likely be because there will be sequences of events. Yes, the saints under the throne of God were asking when God would avenge them. So they were aware of the passing of time. And in Revelation, also, there was silence in Heaven for about a half hour. So time probably is measured. Maybe part of the confusion lies in our use of the word "eternity" to sometimes mean "timelessness." I think these are two completely divergent concepts. "Eternity", to me, means time without end or limitless time. It embraces the concept of time. "Timelessness" means the absence of time. Donna, What a wonderful contemplation..a verse I memorized recently fits this well. Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I AM God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Our Christmas gift this year was a family trip to see the Ark and creation Museum in KY. The visit to the Ark certainly puts in perspective the great magnitude of an almighty God, who laid on one mans heart the plans (incredible engineering, husbandry, & creativity) to feed, house, and care for those He saved. The great I AM has a whole universe and more awaiting His children, beyond our understanding. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and peaceful contemplation :prayer-hands: Also well said Kenneth! I fully agree. As the song says, no matter how many days transpire in Heaven, we'll have no less days to enjoy Him! TR
