Well here we are again and (as I write) 21 hours have passed
whilst I wait to read a new post.
So I have gone back a post or two to cobble together the
following older thoughts from Helen that have jogged my ‘grey
cell cog wheels’ back into gear.
“Dave and I have been going through the book of the Revelation.
I find it interesting that when I was 40 I understood the book
perfectly. Now, at 81, I wonder often what God is really saying
( or not saying) in the book.
Plus
If we could see beyond today
As God can see;
If we could know beyond today
As God doth know,
"If we could see, if we could know,"
We often say,
But God in love a veil doth throw
Across our way;
We cannot see what lies before,
And so we cling to Him the more,
He leads us till this life is o'er”
The book of Revelation eh?
In which an angel, encompassing our entire temporal experience,
stood with one foot on the land and the other on the sea, and
proclaimed that time shall be no more.
‘Time’ which, in any case, has always been timeless in the sense
that no man can tell when Christ shall return, taking into
account, that mankind has lived through multiple thousand
(metaphoric?) year phases, and we currently await the eighth
resurrection day; one day with God being as a thousand
(metaphoric?) years.
Revelation telling us that “a trumpet shall sound and those that
are accounted worthy shall arise and live and reign with Christ
for yet another thousand (metaphoric?) years”
Well, might not the entire book of Revelation be ‘metaphoric’
till God’s Holy Spirit turns the ‘water of its word into wine’
according to the needs of the reader.
Best I go back to sleep!

Dan thinks the book of revelation is metaphoric, I think it’s a
mixture.
I also believe that the time line started 2,000 years ago.
I always start out reading the book and then get swamped with
trying to understand what it is saying.
Love the ending though,and that’s what I hold on to, God wins xx

The answer is…probably …as the last couple of posts on James’s
LW was …
“You can lead a horse to water , but no way can you ever cause
it to drink! “
It seems to just be “the way of forums “ these days …
Looks like our day , is over,..
In EVERY level of life in this world …our generation have had a
long and wonderful life…
I envy not the youth of today …they are stuck with the world
that ‘they’ themselves have chosen …
“ Even so, Come Lord Jesus “

Well, unlike James, I'm not going to put it "in suspension".
Maybe it'll ebb and flow with me using it during the ebbs to
post songs and paintings, and you and I, (plus a few others)
making, or replying to, more relevant posts.

Unfortunately we are like the sea, a tendency to have a lot of
ebb and not the same amount of flow.
I tend to think many have busier lives than mine,and as I have
now risen into the indomitable ranks of the ‘green finger clan’
anything newly planted requires patience and time, in this
generation I seem to be running out of both.
As Rome wasn’t built in a day but it was built Mike, and as they
say there’s times and seasons, but in everything give thanks.
A wise proverb Mike, ‘never look up when seagulls are
overhead’🤔😇🤔.
