So it is becoming clear to me, that time is the root of all evil. By believing in time, the individual believes in his own works, good or bad, and has to account for all his works, good or bad, and has to be dependent on his own works, good or bad. Faith goes out the window, because time somehow gives the individual a sense of autonomy, as long as he has "time". The final mockery then, when God says, that the man has 120 years.
This also affects how you read the Bible. If there is no time, then the number before a "day" simply denotes it's character. This will unlock other meanings. Such as, what is an hour with the Beast?
An hour is one of the Twelve. We know that Judas betrayed Christ. Why did he do that? Maybe he thought, by the deception of time in him, that suffering for the sake of the gospel was unnecessary, as he could betray Christ and buy a plot of land to retire on, having a peaceful future, which of course, was just a fantasy from the devil.
Or in other words, a "short" time. Short in comparison to eternity, and short in the grace of God.
So while it may look from our perspective that the moment is just a sliver in time, as if an hour on the clock, it is only done so by the illusion of time, while the reality is that the moment is eternal, and the life that you live in the illusion of time is nothing but a sliver in eternity.
So in other words, an hour with the Beast, is simply the time the individual spends in captivity of him.
