What is Time to An Infinite God?!!
What is time to an omnipresent God? What is time to the Creator who lives outside of time? To the God who created time? I want to attempt to put it in perspective for you because as a nurse, I see flippant people, with a blatant disregard for their lives. So cunning and manipulative as if they have all the time in the world. Those who have been deceived by the devil and pastors who refuse to or don’t know and understand the concept of time as explained in God’s Word.
I want to start with the most egregious and deceitful lie. That began in the garden with Satan’s interaction with Eve. Because God is not a man that He should lie. Nor the son of man that He should repent. Many people and things worship Satan, but as men, I want you to understand the foolishness in doing so. In believing that Satan will honor you and share his corrupt, perverse form of “glory” with you. As you read how Adam and Eve were deceived, meditate on this. “And [in that garden] the LORD God caused to grow from the ground every tree that is desirable and pleasing to the sight and good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the [experiential] knowledge (recognition) of [the difference between] good and evil” (Genesis 2: 9, AMP).
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die” (Genesis 3: 1-3, KJV).
Meditate on this question. Why didn’t Satan encourage Eve to eat of the tree of life? If it was ever his plan to help any man escape the judgment that would come upon the wicked, disobedient, and unbelieving. If it was ever his intent to help them be as “gods”. Satan knows the character of God. Satan knows that this is not inclusive of the power that he himself has been given. He does not control the eternal. Only God does. God is not a liar and that it is why His Word is so powerful.
“And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life” (Genesis 3: 22-24, KJV).
At one point I pondered that Satan could have just thought that if he tricked them into eating from the tree of life, then they would torment the Most Holy God forever. But just as there are dimensions and an eternal separation, you cannot defeat the Supreme Tactician. Who can and will withdraw His presence from evil, even in the end of days.
