Very interesting, Manuel. Thank you!

I imagine time as experienced on this planet to be best represented by helical linearity with aspects both linear and cyclic. For example, seasons. And the cycles of time marked for us by sun, moon, and stars. But also a definite beginning and a definite change from old to new creation by God.

Because I believe in the resurrection of the body, (“a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have”), I believe there will be some kind of time in the next life as well. Speech as we know it cannot occur without succession of event which requires time.

Blessings,

Ruby

Thank you, Ruby. I also think we’ll have time after the resurrection, in a different universe: “There will be a new Earth and a new heaven”, as in Is.65:17, II Pe.3-13 and Rev.21:1. I spoke about this in 2020 in my blog: https://populscience.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-theological-multiverse.html

Yes, indeed, Manuel. When the Lord says in John 14 that He goes “to prepare a place for you,” I like to think He was announcing His new heavens and earth. St Paul refers to redeemed humanity as being a “new creation.” So, in some ways, Christ’s own are the beginning of His making a new heavens and new earth, starting with the people who will inhabit it. Paul states that the present creation is longing for that time because their remaking is linked to ours.

I can hardly wait!
