Time renews tomorrow,
When we've used today.
It will find the sorrow
And wash it all away.

Love can play a new tune
On this carousel.
It may be tomorrow,
But only time will tell.

Somewhere in the darkness
There must be a light,
Leading us together
Through the misty night.

And maybe in the new dawn
We can break the spell.
It may be tomorrow,
But only time will tell.

There can be a new dream,
One for us to hold,
Made with peace and hope
And built upon the old.

No one has the answer
To give away or sell.
Tomorrow holds the secret,
But only time will tell.

Only Time Will Tell
Susan Anton
from the movie "Wizards"

Time

Keeps flowing like a river

To the sea

Till it’s gone forever

Time isn’t holding up
Time isn’t after us
Same as it ever was

The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I’d something more to say

In its most familiar lines it expresses the kairos notion that there is a fitting time for all things:

Thank you, a most timely reference. But since to me, and perhaps to many other freepers, your quote is not so familiar, here is an alternative:

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Please do not see this as a criticism. It is rather that, for me and many of my generation, there was only one Holy Bible, and it has made its home in out hearts.

Dominus tecum.

Where ever you are in the Universe, the time is always now.

Nope, but it was a pretty good article. Msgr. Pope makes more sense than his boss does, it seems.

2 Peter 1:14 says "given unto us are exceeding great and precious promises, that by these ye might be made participants of the divine nature (some translations say "sharers in" the divine nature. )

Since eternity pertains to His divine nature (Romans 1:20) and we are "participating" in His nature, it seems reasonable to me that we will see as He sees, since (1 John 3:2) "...we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is."

And Who are we seeing "as He is"?

We are seeing "I AM" as He is.

IDK, but it seems to me we will experience timelessness as He does.

Maybe, not enough specifics in that passage.

But it promises to be a very interesting “time” nevertheless!
