Temporal

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 

A Time for All Events in Life

For everything there is an appointed time,
and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to uproot what was planted;

 

Temporal’s end

 

Later I will see the purpose of the day

Then I’ll understand the place of rest

Time will be such accepted all the way

And night won’t be around as second best

 

An everlasting light can’t be diminished

Glory cannot be boxed into a time capsule

We will know it all when the race is finished

As we’ll be in Heaven and others where darkness rules

 

So light and dark divided in their own places

Never to be in touch again in the forever

One enjoying Glory in the presence of God’s Face

And the other just His back in the land of never

 

How to explain the things we only know in part?

How to express our complete lack of vision?

Soon the time will be as God will imparts

The end of temporal with all of its derision
