FROM BEGINNING TO END - PART 2

TUESDAY 19 AUGUST 2025

Today I will expound the useful notion of having "everything happening under the sun" done at a specific time or a specified timing. More below!

Reference: Ecclesiastes 3:11 New International Version (NIV)

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

The first segment of our referenced Scripture reads:

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."

First of all, we must gain the ideational comprehension that time is associated with earthly realm, meaning that there is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose "under heaven." Hence, the importance of time is the first impression in our referenced Scripture. Who made time? God, the Author of all our earthly blessings; He is the medium through which we have and experience everything beautiful, in its time.

What does it mean by God making everything beautiful? The imagery that comes to mind about "everything" is the entire creation, drawing on insight into their nature, shape, design and sphere. Indeed, God has made everything beautiful and appropriate, assigning and tracing all to their time, with their glowing fullness. Therefore, from an intriguing veracity, time unquestionably conveys an identifiably true idea of a happened past, happening present or a "happening" based on future purpose. This is the reason we have historical records that establish the dates of past events, as well as time-enabled arrangement of present or future events in their order of expected occurrence.

Every important action or event on earth is purposefully significant on time basis. To that effect, God, in His perfectly timed performance, sent His Son to function in a bodily form under the heavens. There is below, a precisely-revealed instantiation, in accordance with Pauline epistolary expression numbered as Galatians 4:4-7 (ESV):

"But when the FULLNESS OF TIME had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God."

The earthly realm witnessed the biggest new addition of a timeless Deity coming out from above for the first time. The "Word" incarnation on earth, namely "Jesus" exists outside of time, due to His state of being endless or everlasting, and lacking beginning or end, for the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Yet, regardless of His timeless Deity, He was assigned to time in order to manifest a human nature, and the appointed time He was mandated to emerge on earth was extremely and indispensably relevant. Zero wonder, it was called the fullness of time. Stay tuned for more on this revelatory insight in part 3. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Genesis 8:22; Daniel 2:21; Psalm 104:19; 1 Thessalonians 5:1.

Guided Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank and honour you because you grant a reason for the essentiality of human undertakings under the heaven through an alloted time and season. By redeeming or making the best use of time, I indulge in activities and commitments that create space for the things that truly align with your purpose and Kingdom values on earth, in Jesus' Name, Amen!
