SENTIENCE:
The last commentary about time
ended with the concept of Almighty God, El Saday. The English word “God”
is translated from two Hebrew words: El and Elohim. Think of El
as God at rest (stationary) and Elohim as God in motion; creating, or
the dynamic God as the ending letter mem indicates.
In the beginning, there was God, Elohim,
creating and when the creation was accomplished and the Mighty One rested: Elohim
when at rest was El. It seems that El represents the potentiality
of the Mighty One and Elohim the acts of the Almighty God — the
dynamics.
“On the seventh day God rested”
(Gen 2:2) when everything was finished (Gen 2:1). The quoted phrase in that
sentence is literally yom sebi’i yom. Sebi’i is “seventh” in the English.
Sebi’i comes the root
word, sheva meaning “complete.” Everything was completed, not on the
seventh “day”, but after the seven ordinal steps, from yom to yom
in the Hebrew.
The Hebrew letter yom is
not necessarily either “day” or “time” but steps until completion. In the
beginning, there was nothing, but in the end, there were all things. In the
beginning, even before time, all things came into existence (Gen 1:1), and time
(as yom or anything else) was not in that verse.
There was one divine Thing before
creation — El — and during the Creation El revealed Himself as Elohim
because He was no longer at rest as the letter mem implies dynamics of
some sort: water, blood, genetics, particle dynamics, sound, and any other type
of activity.
Hopefully you can see that El is
the potential Power of God and Elohim that same Power released. They are
two states of God, one at rest (static), and one dynamic.
The Hebrew word yom is generally
accepted as one twenty-four day, however it is used before the Sun was ever
mentioned in the Bible. The first use of the word is in the following: “God
called the light ‘Day,’ and the darkness He called ‘Night’ and the evening and
the morning were the first day” (Gen 1:5).
Hence light equals day. and the
Hebrew word or equals yom. Since or is illumination, therefore
yom is the activity of illuminating, as the ending letter mem
implies.
The word “light” is spelled in
the Hebrew el – waw- resh wherein the letter waw (or vav) connects
the Power of God (El) to the first cause as the letter resh represents.
What is the source of El, or
potential Power? The Hebrew letter yod — the first letter of yom.
Yod whose sound is ya… say it, represents silent speech that John
called the “Word”. It is not audible but a silent wave (i.e, Yahweh is
not a sound at all, but an invisible inaudible wave since none of the letters
are audible.).
The second letter of yom
is waw as well to connect the work of God (Yod) to the
distribution (mem) of the work.
In Newtonian physics, work is associated
with time but in quantum mechanics, it is not. Called “Almighty God” is as if
saying “Quantum Power”.
El Saday would be the
Almighty, or the quantum, Power of God, and Elohim the distribution of
that Power, as a wave of some sort.
If so, there would have been a ‘Big
Bang” and a flow of the Power (Elohim) of God (Yod), but it would
not be related to time; it would have been a quantum, or timeless, bang.
Quantum speed is some amount greater
than the speed of light, but whatever it is, it is atomic, or as Paul wrote about
a “moment” as “atom” — beyond the distribution of time, or not according
to time.
Moment as an “atom” in the
Greek means that there is no division of time: seconds, minutes, hours, days,
years, centuries, millennia, or even eons. A moment would be an “aeon”.
The “a” in the Greek word “aeon”
means without aging. Hence a “moment” is without any time expended. The
transfiguration from earth to heaven, for instance, would be without any increment
of time whatever, and it is supposed that from heaven to earth (Gen 3:24) would
be the same lack of time.
God’s “moment” would be faster
than a light and it is! Light has metrics whereas moments do not. Moment (atom)
implies quantum physics, and the mechanics of quantum action is not associated
with time. Hence, quantum computers are faster than the speed of light, even
instantaneous.
Light is expressed as yom translated
as “day”. However, that is not to say that the speed of light is a day at all.
Light exists unseen in a dark vacuum — a flash of light that takes no time to
either reveal or extinguish itself. “God is Light and in Him there is no
darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).
Light, according to science, is
always present, even in darkness, and John knew that! Even in darkness God
pre-existed all things.
How much time does it take for
God to do things? “Atom” in the Greek — “indivisible cutting”
In the beginning, everything was
made without the expenditure of time, and now the scientist, Michio Kaku, wrote
that “In the Creation, time did not exist,” and that “Time is a construct of
man.”
That time is for man, was
recorded by the wisest man who ever existed — King Solomon:
To every thing there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to
be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to
kill, and a time to heal; a time to break
down, and a time to build up. (Ecc
3:1-3)
Therefore time (yom), is
defined by activities of mankind, not the activity of God. Solomon was implying
that Time is a construct of man.
Since God did all things in the
Creation, therefore the Creation was all done in one moment — an aeon — as
the first verse in the Bible indicates.
Time is therefore for the world: to
define seasons, every purpose on Earth, birth, death, planting, harvesting,
perishing, healing, to tear down, and to build up. Time is a metric for doing
things on Earth. Nothing therein pertains to heaven. There is no expenditure of
time either in heaven to come nor in heaven before there was earth.
All the while science and theologians
are arguing about the time of creation is wasting our precious time. God just
spoke; and it was! His saying was the sound “ya” and all things came about,
both the visible and the invisible, even faster than anything that can be observed
as “the twinkling of the eye” suggests.
Time like mass, weight, work, and
such is just a metric for measuring things that are observed whether invisible
power or visible work. Time is nothing more than a way to define activity, or life
on earth in general.
My theory is that time began with
the advent of sin when Adamic man and woman began to age. Their residence in
the Garden of the Lord (East) was before time just as the ancients
believed.
“East” in Genesis 3:24 is
qedem (קֶדֶם).
The letter qof points to before time. The second letter dalet means
into space, time and matter; and the mem into the motion of
life in that realm.
Qedem (East) implies that
Adam (both of them) would have been thrust out into the world wherein time is
measured by the Sun. How long would that have taken? A moment — an aeon — without
time.
That time began with the advent
of sin makes sense. As soon as they were cast out, it is written, “In process
of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an
offering unto the Lord” (Gen 4:3). Work became associated with time for the
first time and that was after sin got into the blood of Adam’s kind who were
born on planet Earth. Hence, time was for man to do things; it is the measure
of life here on planet Earth.
Eternity is in heaven — either in
Hell or in Paradise.
Eternity is netzah (נֵצַח) in the Hebrew, wherein
the letter nun is uncertainty, ayin observation, and chet
the separation of realms (CoPilot). Uncertainty applies to mankind as
the letter nun represents. God is certain whereas we cannot be (Sorry,
fundamentalist preachers). We cannot judge ourselves because only God foreknows
our life in timelessness.
Now look at both Paradise and Hell,
both in the realm of heaven (Luke 16).
“Torments” is repetition; that is
Hell. It would be like the movie “Groundhogs Day” wherein the same awful things
occur each time, implying that time does not exist in Hell.
On the other hand, apply the same
reasoning to pleasure (Eden or Paradise in heaven). Suppose that a
Christian experiences pleasure in Paradise continually. Just as pain in the
dentist’s chair seems to never end, endless pleasure may be the same. Time is
only a measure of toil (work) on Earth; and without work in Paradise, no time
would pass.
Hence, time is not real but a
fragment of the mind. Go into a coma and for you, time stops. Get into your
mind, and all your conscious time flashes in a moment. Hence, time is in the
mind of sinful men but never was on Adam’s mind because original man was
without sin.
When God dished out His penalty,
he told Adam, “In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread till you return
unto the ground for out of it was you taken for dust you are, and unto dust
shall you return” (Gen 3:19). Sweat implies work and work in the visible
realm involves time as Newton’s laws reveal. In heaven, God did all the work in
no time, but on Earth, Adam would do all the work to expend time.
The penalty for Adam and his kind
was work and in Newtonian Physics work is measured by forces over some amount
of time.
However, in “Pleasure before time”,
as “East of Eden” means, pleasure was ordinary and endless; and there was no
need for time.
Time came about for Adam and his
kind to measure things that were not pleasurable. As most people know, even coitus
is beyond time as pleasure seems to be only for a moment, unlike pain which is
endless.
Time is therefore a mental
faculty (“sentience” — consciousness) to measure the things of the world.
I know that I went deeply into
the concept of time, but time is of the essence for “now is the time of
salvation” at any moment in your life it can begin (Rom 13:11).
