Even the stork in the heavens knows her times, and the turtledove, swallow, and crane keep the time of their coming, but my people know not the rules of the Lord.
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;.
Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.
I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed.
Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
No one comes to the Father except through me. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them.
And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. While there is a physical benefit of kosher laws, they serve as a call to pause, reflect and acknowledge God. Again, I am not advocating that we come back under the law. Jesus said He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. My heart's desire is that, by God's grace, we can recover the New Covenant purpose of much of God's Old Covenant requirements because that's what those of us who are in Christ are meant to do. It's thrilling to unlock these truths and understand God's divine purpose for our lives in the calendar He has ordained for us to observe.

The calendar takes moments in time and lays them out before you so that it covers a duration, an extended time, creating seasons.
What has your focus right now: times or seasons? One is a moment and one is a duration. So what has your attention, or what is revving your heart? Some of the things happening in real time right now are alarming different ministers and ministries, causing them to freeze in the moment. They and we are being bombarded by news updates and current events. In fact, the discipline we impose upon ourselves in these times will determine how our season plays out.
This is true in both basketball and in life. So let me ask, how did you do during this season? What do you need to do better at next time? Have you been focused on real time: pandemic, reporting on political issues, economic concerns? If we continue to allow that, we will lose eternity as our backdrop. A perfect illustration of this is the Israelites in the Old Testament. Check here for some of her other writings.
Like Like. Am so touched with message for understanding time and seasons. It is the exact thing I had been looking for. I now understand that everything is a factor of time. I am willing to join your ministry if possible have such materials to use them in ministry.
