Joshua Boyd
As humans, we constantly think about time. Whether it is the clock or the calendar, time drives our decisions and motivates or frustrates us with its constant movement. This morning we set our clocks back an hour and began to hear the bi-annual comments about keeping or getting rid of daylight savings. It is amazing how much conflict an hour of time brings but it shows how much we think about it.
The calendar is no different.
When we look at the Scriptures, there are passages that clearly describe the timeline involved and others that leave it out. When it comes to the events in the book of Revelation for example, God gives a very precise timeline of what will happen in the end once the events start, but He never reveals the start timing. This is true of many prophecies in the Word: the details of the future, including the timeline, are described but not the start date and time.
The struggle you and I experience though is never about the future timeline, it is about the start date. God I believe you and I believe the Word you’ve spoken that these things will happen as You’ve said, but ah, when?
