We today are confused about time. It is interesting to note that from the Gregorian calendar day, it begins at night and ends at night. Yet, should it be that way? Does the day really begin at night and end with night? How does the Master of the Universe view a human day?
Night to Day
Let's go all the way back to the first day. Now weather this is a 24 hour period is debatable among many, but what is not debatable is that it starts in darkness and ends with light, check it out.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:1-5
Here we see the new day starts in the evening to the morning or from darkness to light.
Basic Fundamentals
Here we see what the basic fundamental of a day is. But wait, there is more, what about a week? Does the story of creation give us any indication of what a week is? It sure does, check it out!
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:1-3
So now we see a similarity between the Gregorian calendar and God's calendar, the 7th day! Isn't that interesting? Yet, look at what God declared about the 7th day! He blessed it and sanctified it. Coincidentally sanctified means to "Make Holy"! Additionally, God declared it to be a day of rest! This is pretty amazing isn't it? Further on in the Bible He gives His people details about this day. Do you want to see what He says about it?
The 7th Day
... and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save [that] which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. Exodus 12:16
This must be a pretty important day to God, He did not allow anyone to do any work! But why? Well I guess the answer can be found in the fact that we were made in the image of God and we need to be like Him! But there is more, isn't there, yes there is a lot more.
Time
Some lunatics will try to tell you that time does not actually exist, but, is that true? Well, not according to God, you see He created all the planets and stars, the Sun the moon, yes the entire universe to serve as a, ...{wait for it} "Clock"! Yet, not only a clock, but a "Schedule"! Furthermore every planet, every star, seen and unseen abide by this clock! Have you ever wondered why clocks were circular? Well, you may have a digital clock but it operates on the same premise. The orbits of the planets, our beautiful moon, our sun, our galaxy and our universe! What a beautiful thing, lets read about it!
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also. And
God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day
and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good. And
the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Genesis 1:14-19
God's Schedule
Isn't it really something that God shares His schedule with us? I mean the only thing incomprehensible about the universe is that it is comprehensible to us! Isn't that amazing? We know that it serves for time and seasons! We base our clocks upon it! I mean if I told you that it was 2AM and the sun is high in the sky, you would call me crazy, right? But why? You instinctively know! Furthermore, we know when harvest season is, we know when planting season is, we know when it's winter time, summertime, springtime, isn't is just marvelous? Am I getting carried away? Ok I'll tame it down a bit!
Moedim Appointed Times
Ok, let's get into something just as exciting yet, prophetic! We call this "Moedim" or "Appointed Times" of God! Did you know that God set up Holidays? Yeah in fact God partied all the time! There is no one who parties more than God! He sets dates, gets prepared, tells all His people about it and then parties! Oh yeah, there is alcohol involved as well! Yeshua was not a prude or a naysayer, He was the LIFE of the PARTY! In fact He turned water to wine when they ran low! Yet, these are the BEST parties of all, the best holidays of all, they are SACRED parties, full of life and enjoyment! Why? Because God told us to do it! Anything God tells you to do is good for you, good for your self esteem, good for your health, good for your spiritual relationship with God. yeah, these are the days when you can cut loose and relax. Additionally, if God tells me to party, then no more need be said, right? There is nothing more God enjoys more than a sinner that is repentant and observing His Holidays!
Prophecies
Did you think God's #prophecies were about you dying, and floating around on a cloud and playing a harp? Sorry, but you are sadly mistaken. The prophecies are real life. When He told His 12 apostles that He would wait to drink the Wine with them, He indicated there is going to be a BIG PARTY! Now, if you want to be invited to that party, all you have to do is observe the Commands of God and maintain your ministry to Yeshua. Remember not even death will take you away from this party or appointed time! This will be the biggest party of all time and if you miss it, you are truly a loser!
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. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
