Walking in the Dimensions of Time: Faith, Science, and Eternity (With Faith and Fear)

Video Lesson

Today we embark on a journey, not across space, but across time itself. And I do not refer merely to the ticking of the clock or the calendar by which we mark our days. Rather, I speak of the dimension of time that God Himself created: a realm imbued with eternal significance, divine purpose, and a structure that resonates with both science and spirit.

Consider this: every second you live is part of a greater narrative, a story that stretches across past, present, and future, fully observed by God. In this story, your response, whether by faith or fear—plays a profound role in how you experience the flow of time.

I. Time as a Dimension in Science

Let us begin with science, which often illuminates truths that complement spiritual understanding.

• Relativity and Spacetime: Einstein revealed that time is not fixed but elastic. Depending on speed and gravity, time stretches and contracts. It is relative, not absolute.

• Quantum Perspectives: At the subatomic level, the linearity of time may dissolve. Certain quantum theories propose a “block universe,” where all moments past, present, and future, exist simultaneously. Our perception of moving forward may be an illusion of consciousness.

• Higher-Dimensional Physics: String theory and M-theory suggest hidden dimensions of time, imperceptible to us yet subtly influencing the unfolding of events.

Science, in its own language, whispers an extraordinary truth: time is fluid, layered, and far more complex than our ordinary experience conveys.

II. Time in Scripture

Now let us turn to the Word of God, which presents a view of time imbued with purpose and divine engagement:

• God Beyond Time: 2 Peter 3:8 reminds us, “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” God perceives all history simultaneously. He is never caught unawares.

• Prophecy and Divine Timing: Ecclesiastes 3:1 declares, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Even events spanning centuries unfold precisely according to His plan.

• Eternal Perspective: Revelation 22:13 affirms, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Every point in time exists simultaneously before Him. Our lives are intricately woven into eternity.

• Faith Defined: Hebrews 11:1 presents faith as the trust in God that encompasses every moment: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Faith is surrendering control, acknowledging that God sees the entirety of our lives—even the unseen seconds and centuries ahead.

III. Faith and Fear

Our human experience of time is colored by the choices we make in the present. Faith and fear represent two opposing responses:

• Fear: Seeks to dominate the future, relying on self rather than God. It manifests in anxiety, worry, and distress - the heavy burden of trying to carry tomorrow on our own shoulders.

• Faith: Aligns with the divine design of time, trusting God now and for all eternity. Faith says, “I do not know what tomorrow holds, but God does.” It frees us to live within the rhythm of His eternal plan.

Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that faith is not merely theoretical; it is practical, all-encompassing, and transformative.

IV. Human Experience of Time

Despite faith, our perception remains largely linear: past → present → future. Yet both science and Scripture reveal a more expansive reality:

• Linear time is relative, influenced by perception, circumstance, and even gravity.

• God exists outside linear time, fully aware of eternal consequences.

• Every choice we make resonates beyond our immediate perception, producing ripples across spiritual and temporal dimensions.

Quantum mechanics and studies of consciousness hint at a similar truth: observation and intention shape outcomes. Your focus matters. Your prayers matter. Your faith matters.

V. Kingdom Logic: Time, Faith, and Moral Action

When viewed through the lens of Kingdom Logic, time is no longer a mere measure—it is a medium of moral and spiritual significance:

1. Time is a Created Dimension: God structured it with order, cycles, and seasons.

2. Human Choices Have Eternal Consequences: Every act of righteousness or sin produces reverberations across spiritual and physical realms.

3. Faith Interacts with Time: Prayer, worship, and obedience align our lives with God’s eternal plan, influencing outcomes beyond measurable comprehension.

4. Fear Misses the Mark: Anxiety arises when we attempt to seize control of the future. Faith, however, frees us to act in alignment with divine timing.

5. Patience and Trust Align with God’s Timing: Understanding that God perceives all of time at once invites us into trust, even when events appear delayed or uncertain.

Faith transforms our walk through every moment, allowing us to participate in the eternal narrative, while fear binds us to the illusion of control.

VI. The Intersection of Science, Scripture, and Faith

Consider how these perspectives converge:

• Science reveals time as layered, flexible, and interconnected.

• Scripture unveils God’s eternal perspective and the human capacity to participate in it.

• Quantum principles hint that human intention influences outcomes, echoing James’ teaching on the power of prayer.

• The “block universe” concept parallels Revelation’s depiction of God as Alpha and Omega.

Faith bridges these dimensions. It engages both the seen and unseen, aligning our lives with God’s eternal orchestration. Fear, by contrast, seeks dominion over the future but ultimately collapses under the weight of uncertainty.

VII. Exhortation: Living in Eternal Time with Faith

Practically, how should we live in the dimensions of time?

• Act with Purpose: Every choice reverberates beyond the present moment.

• Trust Divine Timing: God orchestrates all events according to His perfect plan.

• Pray and Obey with Faith: Our intentions interact with unseen realities.

• Reject Fear: Do not rely solely on human perception or attempt to control outcomes beyond your capacity.

• Embrace Patience: Even when outcomes are not immediately visible, trust in God’s eternal perspective.

Psalm 90:4 reminds us, “For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.” Faith walks in harmony with this eternal rhythm; fear resists it and collapses under uncertainty.

VIII. Conclusion: Kingdom Logic of Time, Faith, and Fear

Time is far more than minutes, hours, or years. It is:

• A dimension created and sustained by God.

• A framework where faith and fear manifest their influence.

• A medium through which God orchestrates creation, history, and redemption.

Science uncovers the hidden structure of time. Scripture reveals its eternal purpose. Faith enables our participation. Fear binds us to human limitation.

Beloved, walk in time with Kingdom Logic: live intentionally, act righteously, trust God, reject fear, and align your life with the eternal perspective of the Creator. Every moment matters. Every a

ct of faith matters. You are woven into the very architecture of God’s eternal design.
