Revelation 10 ... And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6And 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:
Comments by Joan Boney ...
We, on this earth, are ruled by time ...
It is time to get up ...
It is time to go to bed ...
It is time to eat ...
It is time to work ...
It is time to read, watch TV
To think of having time no longer is a concept that defies us.
In another Revelation passage, I read about the thousands upon thousands around the throne of God ...
Rev. 5:11 ... And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
thousand times ten thousand ... and thousands of thousands ...
For a minute I wondered how I could stand hearing so many ... on earth I avoid crowds ... (I was a little frightened)
But this is in heaven ... these are the good voices, praising God rather than man ...
We are so constructed to thinking in terms of this earth that some of the things in Revelation are concepts we can't imagine. And we can be frightened at the removal of that which we know.
But then we realize all things in heaven will be wonderful beyond description and we accept this by faith.
