Mankind has a way of measuring time on earth but God
has a completely different way of measuring time in heaven. The
prophet Daniel was told of future events that would happen in a
time, times and a half. Even with the revelations we have received,
we still don't have a way to convert that eternity time into
something we can understand. The apostle Peter stated that a
thousand years is like one day and one day is like a thousand years.
With Peter's revelation, we can convert God's timetable into
something we can understand. One hour with God is 41.67 years for
man, 1 minute with God is 8 months and 8 days for man, and 1 second
with God is 3 days and 22 hours for man. Every action by God is being carried out according to
"eternal time," not "earthly time." King Saul was instructed by
Samuel to wait at Gilgal and the prophet would arrive at the end of
seven days. Saul's army was vastly outnumbered and he panicked when
his soldiers began to desert. He tried to force the hand of God by
offering the sacrifice himself and lost his kingship in the process.
God is on the throne and there is never a crisis in heaven. Patience
requires learning to wait upon the Lord and trusting Him regardless
of the circumstances. God is never late or early; He is always on
time. |
