It’s impossible to fully know it of course, but not that difficult to understand it in a much more limited way as you have ably described. One analogy I like is of time unrolling like a jelly roll while God sees the whole jelly roll at once.

I’ve heard contemplatives say the closest a mere human can come to a similar experience is to live in the ever-present now, with consciousness fully in the present moment, then the next and the next...

thanks for your posts...

Thanks, dear friend.

How does someone explain that Elijah was saved and sent to heaven and listed in Scripture as coming before the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ in our concept of time while knowing that Christ’s Sacrifice is what saves us?

The only answer is that God is outside of time and Christ is God
