"And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets."
Revelation 10:5-7
I can't imagine what "time no longer" would be like. I try, but probably because I am mortal and everything, the whole "without beginning" thing throws me for a loop. I also don't know what finishing the "mystery of God" means, but perhaps just that God won't be a mystery to anyone anymore, but instead a simple reality. I like that idea, of a world with a shared understanding of God as a plain fact.
Today, let's think long-term rather than short term, and prioritize choices that will help us with eternity and our relationship with God rather than impatient immediacy.
