Um, thanks.

The Lincoln quote... misquote... it was the quote that got me thinking obviously not the source of it or I would have investigated it. So I hope those who would try to make an issue of my misquote will allow the subject matter to prevail and find a lesser thread to persecute me further. Thanks in advance.

Nobody is "persecuting" you here sir, it's just a simple correction.

Which subject are we discussing: Time, Eternity, or Gravity?

 

regards

other than to say the existence of this thread strikes me as more mine boggling than the substance of it does. Perhaps if I had differnet medications?

Time has no meaning outside this universe since the universe is finite.

And when he had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

(Revelation 8:1)

which universe is this ?

i guess what i really meant was, 

doesn't this imply that time has meaning in heaven? 
and is heaven in this universe, or is apart from it?

The heavens are in this universe, but that doesn't mean God is now bound by Time, a dimension he created.  Since this was John's vision, time had meaning to him as he related the events of his vision as recorded in Revelation.

What's really interesting about Revelation, well all of it is interesting, from a time standpoint, John had detailed visions of the future from many different perspectives, at various times in that future.  He chose his words as carefully as he could but the visions he saw must have been overwhelming to a man born near the time of Jesus.
