Description
Since time presently coexists with eternity, man who is a creature of time has difficulty differentiating between them. Man’s short time on earth bears a never ending relationship to eternity. Time, as we know it, will end someday, but God will usher in a New Heaven and New Earth, and believers will have resurrected, immortal bodies. There, we will worship and serve God forever, enjoying an “eternal weight of glory.”

Summary
A Biblical study of time, which is transitory presence, in contrast to eternity, which is abiding presence.
