Time And Eternity

Revisited

Is that possible? To go back to the future? To leap forward to the past? Or pause indefinitely this ever present moment?

No. Not by our own power. To be able to do such things, we would first have to be able to overrule and annul the decrees of the Lord God Almighty. And then we would need to have the full knowledge and power to issue and effectuate our own decrees.

‘Have you not heard? Long ago I did it; From days of old I formed it. Now I have brought it to pass, That you should devastate fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
2 Kings 19:25 Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)¹

“Remember this, and be assured; Cause it to return to your heart, you transgressors. Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My counsel will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’, Calling a bird of prey from the east, The man of My counsel from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have formed it, surely I will do it.
Isaiah 46:8-11 LSB

Eternity is the order in which the decrees of God the Father Almighty are declared by Him and unfold within Him, Who is the invisible One God, without beginning and without end.

Time is the order in which the decrees of God the Father Almighty are brought to pass and unfold within God the Son, Who is the visible One God-Man, Who makes the Father visible to us, Who is the exact imprint and image of the invisible God; and Who is the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega.

In God the Son, Jesus Christ the Nazarene, we live, move, and have our being.
