Revelation 10:5-6 -- On Time and Teachings

"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."
Revelation 10:5-6


The whole time no longer thing is pretty stunning. So much of how we percieve things seems to be wrapped up in that time thing. Eternal beings do seem to be much more immutable that we are. Then, of course we have the story of the creation which talks about periods of time and resting... which seems to convey at least some sense of time... so is it more like "the earth is out of time, we're done," or is it really what it seems to be saying, and the way that we see ... everything... needs to change on a fundamental level? Maybe that is part of the veil being drawn... a vast change of perspective that allows us to being in this life where there is space between action and reaction?

I'm just speculating of course, so please don't take anything I say as gospel... but maybe what we can learn from thinking about these verses is that there are SO many things that we still don't understand about God, and there is so much more to learn, let's remember that and never feel like we know it all or that we don't need God to teach us anything else. :) There is still plenty more to come, and so much to learn if we stick with God.
