Bible Question: In our bible study we are in the last 2 chapters of Revelation. I think we are outside time and space and in more than 3 dimensions. Others vehemently disagree are we outside time? |
Bible Answer: Hi, jkitchens... Human beings cannot exist outside of the universe in which we were created. When this was discussed in Seminary, I was told that eternity can make sense only as an endless succession of 24 hour periods. I am not trained in Biblical languages, but those that are assure me that this notion tends to most closely follow what was written. Note that the interim state -- the state we occupy between death and resurrection -- is an abnormal state. Men were not meant to be beings separate from bodies. Nor were men meant to dwell eternally in heaven. After glorification, when God restores His creation, men will again dwell upon the earth in the state for which they were created. Furthermore, as I pointed out earlier, since there are various activities that take place in the New Heaven and New Earth, involving sequence, no other sense than the passage of time can be properly understood. In Him, Doc |
