Time just keeps everything from happening at once.

Augustine said “time” is the moving picture of eternity.

The magazine? I don’t know.

The fleeting time of day and night — priceless. Use it wisely.

What is time? Some say it’s merely a measure of change. But that doesn’t really make a lot of sense because change doesn’t occur at a steady pace at all.

Measurement is an identification of a relationship - a quantitative relationship established by means of a standard that serves as a unit. Entities and their actions are measured by their attributes such as velocity, and the standard of measurement is a concretely specified unit representing the appropriate attribute. Velocity is measured by means of a given distance traversed in a given unit of time.

My daughter's high school Latin teacher had this expression posted above the classroom clock: Serius est quam cogitas, which means "it's later than you think."

BTW, he was one of the school's only conservative teachers, although he kept that fact very quiet.

He never gave the year without prefacing it with Anno Domini. I heard that with my own ears.

Time is relative.
From man’s standpoint. Time runs sequentially. Chronos.
But God appears to be outside of time. He appears to experience all points in time at once.
Thus He knows the future. Prophetic language often talks of future events as though they have already happened.
He can state future actions of man, even though man has free will.

I heard someone suggest that when we go to be with Christ, we will experience time the same way God does. But I don’t see a scriptural basis for that.
