ENTER BY THE NARROW GATE

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.

Twelve in Hebrew number value means the establishment of a perfect order which can only come about as a result of divine intervention and can only be maintained by divine governance and supervision.
GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION.

Yet Jesus knew that one of them was a devil. John 6:64

One is the Hebrew number value of unity, independence, the first, the beginning, indivisible, DEITY.

Claiming it for Himself like casting lots to replace Judas but in reality the replaced apostle was Jesus Hebrews 3:1 sounds likely to me.

Yes but one hour is not the same as a day. An hour is a tweltfh of a jewish day.

Depends what you think of days. They could be six meaning man's world that would be minus the Sabbath or the full week which is seven, spiritual perfection. Either way it says the same thing in my opinion.

Days are times, however, since time is not the same from God's perspective, the value before a day would denote the type of day or time rather than the duration of it.

There is a time for everything,​
and a season for every activity under the heavens:​
a time to be born and a time to die,​
a time to plant and a time to uproot,​
a time to kill and a time to heal,​
a time to tear down and a time to build,​
a time to weep and a time to laugh,​
a time to mourn and a time to dance,​
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,​
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,​
a time to search and a time to give up,​
a time to keep and a time to throw away,​
a time to tear and a time to mend,​
a time to be silent and a time to speak,​
a time to love and a time to hate,​
a time for war and a time for peace.​
So in other words, each of these times would have their specific number.

You may recall that Gabriel had to wait "21 days" to get to Daniel because of the Prince of Persia. This makes sense if we take 21 to mean "faith" as per this site. Which is reasonable, as 21 is 3x7, a perfect number indeed.

When you mentioned the seasons that's what came to mind was the steps of spiritual development. I like the modern implications mentioned in the link. In fact all of it was interesting. The book I have places 21 as the "ultimate spiritual perfection" It also mentions exceeding sinfulness of sin, which may relate to Daniel's 21 days, perhaps.

As a side note Daniel 2:21 says God changes the seasons

Which would be his ability to take you from one time to another :openmouth:

But Satan does that too, ironically.

The two trees - Time and Spirit :openmouth:

In the day that you eat thereof, you shall surely die :openmouth:

But to the serpent, this is not a death, but life according to his ways
Exactly which is the number 6 x 3. Life according to the flesh, that which has been judged already, should you believe in the accomplished work of Christ. The tree of that knowledge, whether good or bad, is not according to the tree of Life. Living life in the flesh has just one season, endless winter.

Song of Solomon 2:11-12
The winter has passed, the rains are over and gone
Flowers appear on the earth
The time of singing has come

That sure seems to be the case with my flowers. They have their perfect moment in time. That is the time to photograph them.
Then the next time you see them chances are they well have started to wither and fade away.

Yeah that's so ironic. Once the good years and moments have passed, there's nothing else but sickness, death and misery.

But at the same time, that's the full measure of what the flesh can accomplish.

I think the problem is that the heads of the Beast are many, and if it is not a head of pride, it will be head of self-loathing. I think the only way forward is to be conscious of what is taking place on the "altar", but I find that consciousness itself will solve it.
