      As the earlier Greeks divided the night commonly into three parts, so, previous to the exile, the Israelites also had three watches in a night; subsequently, however, after they became subject to the Romans, they adopted the Roman custom of dividing the night into four watches.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible - Time
TIME . The conception that we seem to gather of time from the Holy Scriptures is of a small block, as it were, cut out of boundless eternity. Of past eternity, if we may use such an expression, God is the only inhabitant; in future eternity angels and men are to share. And this ‘block’ of time is infinitesimally small. In God’s sight, in the Divine mind, ‘a thousand years are but as yesterday’ ( Psalms 90:4 ; cf. 2 Peter 3:8 ‘one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day’). Time has a beginning; it has also, if we accept the usual translation of Revelation 10:6 ‘there shall be time no longer,’ a stated end. The word ‘time’ in Biblical apocalyptic literature has another meaning ‘time’ stands for ‘a year’ both in Daniel ( Daniel 4:16 ; Daniel 4:23 ; Daniel 4:25 ; Daniel 4:32 ; Daniel 7:25 , where the plural ‘times’ seems to stand for two years) and in Revelation 12:14 (derived from Daniel 7:25 ).
When once the idea of time formed itself in the human mind, subdivisions of it would follow as a matter of course. The division between light and darkness, the rising, the zenith, and the setting of the sun and the moon, together with the phases of the latter, and the varying position of the most notable stars in the firmament, would all suggest modes of reckoning time, to say nothing of the circuit of the seasons as indicated by the growth and development of the fruits of the field and agricultural operations. Hence we find in Genesis 1:1-31 day and night as the first division of time, and, because light was believed to be a later creation than matter, one whole day is said to be made up of evening and morning; and the day is reckoned, as it still is by the Jews and, in principle, by the Church in her ecclesiastical feasts, from one disappearance of the sun to the next, the divisions between day and night being formed by that appearance and disappearance. In this same cosmogony we meet with a further use of the lights in the firmament of heaven; they are to be ‘for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years’ ( Genesis 1:14 ). The day would thus be an obvious division of time for intelligent beings to make from the very earliest ages. As time went on, subdivisions of this day would be made, derived from an observance of the sun in the heavens morning , noonday or midday, and evening ; and, by analogy, there would be a midnight . The only other expression we meet with is ‘between the two evenings’ ( Exodus 12:6 ), used most probably for the time between sunset and dark, though others take it as equivalent to ‘the time of the going down of the sun,’ i.e. any time in the afternoon: any shorter subdivisions of time were not known to the Jews till they were brought into contact with Western civilization and the Roman military arrangements. The only exception to this is the ‘steps’ on the dial of Ahaz ( 2 Kings 20:9-11 ). In the passages in Daniel where the word hour occurs in the EV [1] , the term is quite an indefinite one, the ‘one hour’ of Daniel 4:19 in AV [2] becoming ‘a while’ in RV [3] . The Aram [4] , word used in that book was used in the New Hebrew for the word ‘hour.’ In the Apocrypha the word ‘hour’ is quite indefinite. But in the NT we find the Western division of the day into twelve hours, reckoning from sunrise to sunset, quite established. ‘Are there not twelve hours in the day?’ said our Lord, in an appeal to the Jews ( John 11:9 ). Westcott holds that in St. John’s Gospel ( John 1:39 , John 4:6 ; John 4:52 , John 19:14 ) the modern mode of reckoning the hours from midnight to midnight is followed. The strongest passage in support of this view is John 19:14 . These twelve hours were divided into the four military watches of three hours each (cf. Matthew 14:25 ‘the fourth watch of the night’), as distinguished from the three watches which seem to have prevailed among the Jews (‘if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third,’ Luke 12:38 ). The only other measure of time, quite indefinite and infinitesimal, is the ‘moment,’ common to OT, Apocr. [5] , and NT (‘we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,’ 1 Corinthians 15:52 ). To-morrow ( Exodus 8:23 ) and yesterday ( Exodus 5:14 ), and even yesternight ( Genesis 31:29 ), would soon take their place on either side of to-day. The Hebrew word meaning literally ‘the day before yesterday,’ is generally used vaguely of previous time, ‘heretofore.’
The next obvious division of time would be the month . The phases of the moon would be watched, and it would soon be noticed that these recurred at regular intervals. Each appearance of the new moon would be noted as the beginning of a new period. The first mention of the new moon in Biblical history is in 1 Samuel 20:5 , though ‘the beginnings of the months’ are mentioned in the ritual laws of Numbers 10:10 ; Numbers 28:11 . Of the two Heb. words for ‘month,’ one is identical with the word for ‘moon,’ the other means ‘newness.’ Though the actual period of each moon is rather more than 29 days, the actual time of its visibility could scarcely be more than 28 days. The first appearance of the new moon would be eagerly watched for and made a matter of rejoicing. We find, in fact, that a keen lookout was kept for it, and the ‘new moon’ feast was kept with great rejoicings, as well as, apparently in later times, a ‘full moon’ feast (‘Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day,’ Psalms 81:3 ).
Given this period of 28 days, together with the recurrent phases of the moon, it would naturally be subdivided, like the day itself, into four divisions or weeks of seven days each. The first occurrence of a week is in Genesis 29:27 , though the Creation is represented as having been completed, including the rest of the Almighty, in a period of seven days, and periods of seven days occur in the history of the Flood. Of the two Heb. names for ‘week’ one is derived from the number seven, and the other is identical with ‘Sabbath,’ the day which completes the Jewish week. The NT takes over the latter word, and makes a Greek noun of it, whilst to the Christian and to the Christian Church, the first day of the week becomes the important day, instead of the seventh, and is for Christians the day of gathering together ‘to break bread’ ( Acts 20:7 ), and of making collections for the needs of the faithful ( 1 Corinthians 16:2 ), and also wins for itself the name of ‘the Lord’s day’ ( Revelation 1:10 ). The word ‘week’ was given other applications. The seventh year completed a week of years and was a sabbath; seven times seven years formed seven sabbaths of years, i.e. forty-nine years, and was followed by the jubilee. From the constant occurrence of the tenth day of the month in the dating of events, it has been supposed that the month of 30 days was also subdivided into periods of ten days each (see, e.g. , Exodus 12:3 , Leviticus 16:29 , Joshua 4:19 , 2 Kings 25:1 etc.).
There are no names in the OT for the days of the week except for the seventh the Sabbath. In the Apocrypha ( Jdt 8:6 ) there is a name for Friday which is translated ‘the eve of the Sabbath’; so in Mark 15:42 ‘the day before the Sabbath.’ This day is also called the Preparation ( Matthew 27:62 , Mark 15:42 , Luke 23:54 , John 19:31 ). In Roman Catholic service-books Good Friday is still called ‘Feria Sexta in Parasceue’ ( i.e. the Preparation), and the following Saturday ‘Sabbatum Sanctum.’
Whilst these various divisions of time were being arrived at, there would be, concurrently with them, the obvious recurrence of the seasons in their due order. One of the promises represented as having been made by God to Noah immediately after the Flood was that seedtime ( i.e. spring), summer, harvest ( i.e. autumn), and winter should not cease ( Genesis 8:22 ). This is the earliest time in the world’s history to which a knowledge of the seasons is attributed in the Bible. Afterwards summer and winter are frequently mentioned. In AV [2] the word ‘spring,’ to mean that season, occurs only in Wis 2:7 , and ‘autumn’ not at all, though the word translated ‘winter’ in Amos 3:15 , Jeremiah 36:22 , might equally be rendered ‘autumn,’ as the time referred to is the border time between autumn and winter. It would in due course be noticed that the seasons recurred practically after a series of twelve moons or months; hence would come in the division of time into years of twelve lunar months. A year of 360 days is implied in the history of the Flood ( Genesis 6:1-22 ; Genesis 7:1-24 ; Genesis 8:1-22 ), but no satisfactory explanation has yet been given of the scheme of years and chronology in the genealogical account of antediluvian times ( Genesis 5:1-32 ).
The twelve months of the year would be given names. The Biblical names we find for them are:
1. Abib (Exodus 13:4 ), the month of the green ears of corn, about the same as our April, called in post-exilic times, in correspondence with its Bab. [7] name, Nisan ( Nehemiah 2:1 ). This was the month in which the Passover came.
2. Ziv (1 Kings 6:1 ), seemingly the bright month, called later Iyyar.
3. Sivan (Esther 8:9 ), another Bab. [7] name, occurring only in this one passage in the OT.
4. This month has no Biblical name, but was called in later times Tammuz, after the god of that name, in whose honour a fast was kept during the month, which is mentioned in Zechariah 8:19 as ‘the fast of the fourth month.’
5. This month also has no Biblical name, but was called later Ab.
6. Elul (Nehemiah 6:15 , 1Ma 14:27 ). The etymology of this name is unknown; it occurs in Assyrian.
7. Ethanim (1 Kings 8:2 ), the month of constant flowings, in later times called Tishri. This was the first month of the civil year.
8. Bul (1 Kings 6:38 ), a word of doubtful etymology, called later Marcheshvan.
9. Chislev (Nehemiah 1:1 , Zechariah 7:1 , 1Ma 1:54 etc.), a Bab. [7] word of uncertain derivation.
10. Tebeth (Esther 2:18 ), taken over from the Assyrian. It has been conjectured to mean ‘the month of sinking in,’ i.e . the muddy month.
11. Shebat (Zechariah 1:7 , 1Ma 16:14 ), taken from the Babylonian; of doubtful meaning, but, according to some, the month of destroying rain.
12. Adar (Ezra 6:15 , Esther 3:7 etc.), a Bab. [7] word, perhaps meaning darkened. In 2Ma 15:36 we are informed that the twelfth month ‘is called Adar in the Syrian tongue.’
The names given are, it will be seen, of rare occurrence, and only four of them are pre-exilic. Biblical writers are generally content to give the number of the month. Some of the months were notable for their ecclesiastical feasts. In the first came the Passover, on the 14th day; in the third, the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost); in the seventh, the Feast of Trumpets and the Feast of Tabernacles, as also the Fast of the Day of Atonement; in the ninth, the Feast of Dedication; and in the twelfth, the Feast of Purim.
Though at first all the months seem to have been reckoned of equal length, in later times they contained 30 and 29 days alternately. This rendered an intercalation in the Calendar necessary, to keep the Passover in the right season of the year; and this intercalary period was called the second Adar, and was inserted as required to bring Abib to its proper place in the year.
It remains to mention that in the Apocrypha we have traces of the Macedonian Calendar. In 2Ma 11:21 , a month is named Dioscorinthius , a name which does not occur elsewhere, and which is either a corruption of the text for Dystrus, a name for the twelfth month, which occurs in the Sinaitic text of Tob 2:12 , or the name of an intercalary month inserted at the end of the year. In 2Ma 11:30 Xanthicus , the name for the first month of the Macedonian year, occurs. It answers to the month Abib. These names, with other Macedonian names, are used by Josephus. In 3Ma 6:38 two Egyptian months, Pachon and Epiphi , occur, the former being omitted in some texts. They are the ninth and eleventh months of the Egyptian year.
Of epochs or eras there is but little trace. There were the periods of seven years and fifty years already mentioned, but they never occur in any chronological statement. 430 years is the time assigned to the sojourning in Egypt, both in OT and NT (Exodus 12:40 , Galatians 3:17 ), and the commencement of the building of Solomon’s Temple is dated 480 years after the Exodus. The chronology of the two kingdoms is reckoned by regnal years, though in some cases a regency period is counted as part of the length of the reign. Twice in Isaiah ( Isaiah 6:1 ; Isaiah 14:28 ) the date noted is that of the year of the death of a king, in another case the date is the invasion by the Tartan ( Isaiah 20:1 ); whilst in Amos ( Amos 1:1 ) a date is given as ‘two years before the earthquake,’ apparently a particularly severe one which happened during the reign of Uzziah, king of Judah ( Zechariah 14:5 ). The ‘seventy years’ of the Captivity is also a well-known period, as is the thousand years of the Apocalypse ( Revelation 20:1-15 ), with all the speculations it has given rise to. In later times the years were reckoned by the names of those who filled the office of high priest; in Luke 3:1 f., we have a careful combination of names of various offices held by various persons at the time of the commencement of the preaching of John the Baptist, to indicate the date.
Of instruments to measure time we hear of only one, the sun-dial of Ahaz ( 2 Kings 20:9-11 , Isaiah 38:8 ), but what shape or form this took we do not know.

Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology - Time
It is debatable whether the Bible contains enough information to formulate a full-scale doctrine of time; nonetheless, the significance of the biblical concept of time is unmistakably the way it uniformly presents God at work in guiding the course of history according to his saving plan. The Hebrew et [1], moed, iddan [2], zeman [3], yom [4] and Greek kairos [5], chronos [6], aion [7] are the main biblical time words depicting this divine work.
God as Lord over Time. Time is not fatalistic or capricious, but, according to Scripture, under God's personal direction and control. Time began at creation and becomes the agency through which God continues to unveil his divine purpose for it.
God is transcendent over time. He established the cycle of days and seasons by which time is known and reckoned (Genesis 1:14 ) and possesses the power to dissolve them according to his eternal purposes (Isaiah 60:19-20 ); moreover, he controls world history, determining in advance the times set for all nations and bringing them to pass (Daniel 2:21 ; Acts 17:26 ). But God is not limited by time (Psalm 90:4 ). It in no sense diminishes his person or work: the eternal God does not grow tired or weary (Isaiah 40:28 ) and his purposes prevail (Proverbs 16:4 ; Isaiah 46:10 ).
Furthermore, God imminently expresses concern for his creation. He reveals himself in history according to the times and dates set by his own authority (Acts 1:7 ) and will bring about in his own time the consummation of world history in Jesus' return (Ephesians 1:9-10 ; Psalm 95:7-86 ).
God as "the First and Last" (Isaiah 41:4 ; 44:6 ; 48:12 ), "the Beginning and End" (Revelation 21:6 ), "the one who is, was, and is to come" (Revelation 1:4,8 ), "King of the Ages" (1 Timothy 1:17 ; Revelation 15:3 ) further points out his lordship over time.
The New Testament presents Jesus as Lord over time. With the Father, he existed prior to the beginning of time, created all things, and sustains all things (John 1:1-3 ; Colossians 1:16-17 ; Hebrews 1:2-3 ). He is neither limited by time, nor adversely affected by it: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8 ). He too is properly called "the Alpha and Omega, the First and Last, the Beginning and End" (Revelation 22:13 ).
Humanity as Subject to Time. In contrast to God and Jesus, humanity is limited by time in the cycle of birth, life, and death. Every person bears the marks of time in the aging process and ultimately dies (Job 14:5 ; Hebrews 9:27 ). The span of life is brief and passing (Psalm 144:4 ; James 4:14 ). Even our time on earth—the events/circumstances and length of lifeare in God's hands (Psalm 31:15 ; 139:16 ).
All people, moreover, will experience the passage of time in life after death. Because of sin, all people face spiritual death, which involves eternal separation from God (Romans 5:17-21 ; 6:23 ). Jesus' death and resurrection brings deliverance from sin and spiritual death, granting eternal life to all who believe (John 3:14-17,36 ; 1 John 5:10-13 ).
Time as Redemptive History. Throughout history God has been carrying out his plan for redeeming a fallen world. The course of time, in effect, appears as redemptive history.
It is true that biblical writers perceive history as cyclical, in that various predictable, recurring sequence of events are inherent to it: the ordliness and seasonal regularity of nature (Psalm 19:1-6 ; Nehemiah 9:9-25 ; Ecclesiastes 1:4-7 ), the cycle of life (Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 ) and its wearisomeness (Ecclesiastes 1:8-11 ), the rise and fall of kings and empires (Daniel 2:21 ), and the universal inclination toward evil (Judges 2:6-23 ; 2 Chronicles 36:15-16 ; Nehemiah 9:5-37 ; Romans 1:18-32 ).
But they do not perceive history as static. Chronological time is of greatest importance in both Testaments as a way of tracing God's redemptive interventions in history. The most outstanding Old Testament example of this is Israel's redemption from Egypt (104:19 ; Psalm 78:12-55 ; Hosea 11:1 ); in the New Testament it is the coming of Jesus as Messiah, Savior, and Lord (Acts 3:12-26 ; 10:34-43 ; 13:16-41 ). The revelatory nature of these divine in-breakings dispels any notion that time is merely cyclical, without purpose and value.
Time is meaningfully forward-moving. The covenants God made with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Jeremiah illustrate that history reveals a progressive unveiling of God's redemptive plan for humanity. Prophetic fulfillment, according to God's appointed times, does so as well. The incarnation supremely exemplifies this: "But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons" (Galatians 4:4-5 ; cf. Mark 1:15 ; Romans 16:25-26 ; Ephesians 1:10 ; 1 Timothy 2:6 ; 1 Peter 1:10-12 ). Jesus' death was not accidental, but a once for all atoning sacrifice (Romans 6:10 ; Hebrews 7:27 ; 9:26 ; 1 Timothy 6:14-156 ), occurring exactly when God had intended (Romans 5:6 ). In the same way, Jesus' second coming, the goal and end-point of redemptive history, will come to pass at God's appointed time (Mark 13:32 ; Acts 1:7 ; 3:21 ; 1618422703_13 ).
The Present as the Time of Salvation. The Bible unanimously declares that now is the time of salvation. In the Old Testament, on the basis of Israel's redemption from Egypt, every succeeding generation was to respond in loving obedience to the laws issued at Sinai by God their Savior (Deuteronomy 11 ; 1618422703_30 ). The injunction "it is time to seek the Lord" (Hosea 10:12 ) was to be Israel's perpetual desire.
In the New Testament, Jesus' coming as the Messiah inaugurated "the year of the Lord's favor" (Luke 4:19,21 ). The time interval between the incarnation and the second coming appears symbolically as a jubilee year (Luke 4:19 /Isa 4:19/61:1-2 ; cf. Leviticus 25:10 ), a time when salvation has been made available to all people through God's saving work in Jesus. Thus, "now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2 ); now is the appointed season to declare this divine mystery hidden from ages past (Colossians 1:26 ; Titus 1:3 ).
The present time holds a sense of urgency for unbelievers and believers. God now commands all people to repent for he has set a time when he will judge the world through Jesus (Acts 17:30-31 ). The time for repentance, however, is growing shorter (Revelation 2:21 ; 10:6 ). Believers are encouraged to make the most of every opportunity in serving God (Ephesians 5:16 ; Colossians 4:5 ) and to mature in faith "as long as it is called Today" to ward off encroaching apostasy (Hebrews 3:13 ).
The End-Times. The end-time period surrounding Jesus' second coming is variously called the last times, last hour, last days, day of the Lord, day of judgment, day of Gods wrath, time of punishment, end of the ages, end of all things. The temporal finality of these expressions highlights the firm New Testament belief that the present course of history will come to an end when Jesus returns. The certainty of the first advent guarantees the certainty of the second (Acts 1:7 ).
The start of the end-times takes two forms in the New Testament. On the one hand, the messianic age, inaugurated with Christ's first coming, appears as the beginning of the last days according to Peter's use of Joel 2:28 in explaining the charismatic phenomena accompanying the Spirit's outpouring at Pentecost ( Acts 2:17 ). Here the messianic age is equivalent to the end-times. It is a time of great salvation as well as of mounting evil growing to unprecedented proportions as the parousia nears. For this reason, the many antichrists, false teachers, and forms of ungodliness that have already appeared show without contradiction that it is the last hour (1 Timothy 4:1 ; 2 Timothy 3:1 ; 1 John 2:18 ).
On the other hand, although the end is near (Hebrews 10:37 ; James 5:8 ; Revelation 22:7,10 ), it has not yet arrived. Nor has the tumultuous period leading up to it. Because of the unique character of the end-times, it also has an identity not entirely the same as the messianic age. Its events include the fulfillment of the signs portending the end, Christ's return, the setting up of his eternal kingdom, and the last judgment. But even here the time periods partially overlap: the benefits derived from salvation in Christ promised to believers in the coming age (eternal life, perfect Christ-likeness, etc.), are, nonetheless, the property of believers to enjoy in part in this age.
Time and Eternity. The Bible does not specify if or in what sense time existed before creation or will exist after Jesus' return. Nor does it specify the relation between time and eternity either as unending time or timelessness.
But how God and humanity relate to time may parallel how time differs from eternity. On the one hand, God is eternal, having no beginning or end (Psalm 102:25-27 ; Isaiah 40:28 ; Romans 1:20 ); he is Lord over time. He is timeless in the sense that as Creator and Lord he is non- or supratemporal, standing outside of or above time (Psalm 90:2,4 ). Time is real for God. It becomes the means through which he makes known his enduring love to humankind. On the other, time and humanity are immortal in the sense that both have a starting point and continue on indefinitely. God promises unending life with him to those who believe in Jesus' redeeming work (John 3:16 ; 1 John 5:13 ) and unending separation from him to those who spurn it (Matthew 25:46 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-8 ).

Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament - Time
1. The conception of time.-In all ages and among all peoples the idea of time tends to be expressed in the figure of a continually and evenly running stream. It is viewed, however, in sections; and each section brings with itself or takes up into itself all the events that happen. This conception is maintained consistently in the writings of the Apostolic Age. Time comes into being (διαγενομένου, Acts 27:9, ‘spent,’ lit. [1] ‘had come through’). It passes by (ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος, 1 Peter 4:3). It is generally looked at as a whole, but it is divisible into parts which differ quantitatively and may be measured-it is ‘much,’ or ‘little,’ or ‘Sufficient’ (for a given purpose). ‘sufficient’ (ἱκανὸς χρόνος, Luke 8:27; Luke 23:8, Acts 8:11; ἡμέραι ἱκαναί, Acts 9:23; Acts 9:43; Acts 18:18; ἱκανῶν ἐτῶν, Romans 15:23) as applied in measuring time is an expression of indefiniteness. The adequacy of the measure of time for the maturing of a definite plan is given in the idea of ‘fullness.’ Time accumulates as if in a reservoir and becomes sufficient for its end (πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου, Galatians 4:4; cf. Acts 7:23). Naturally the flow of time involves succession and order as between first and last. But all time future to any particular moment may be from the view of it at that moment ‘last.’ The Christian outlook on the future involves a great consummation and a radical world change. The period just preceding this consummation was especially designated ‘the last times’ (ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν χρόνων, 1 Peter 1:21; ἐσχάτη ἡμέρα, John 6:39-40; John 11:24; ἔσχαται ἡμέραι, Acts 2:17, 2 Timothy 3:1, James 5:3; 2 Peter 3:3; ἐσχάτη ὥρα, 1 John 2:18).
The relativity of length of time to the mind is indicated in the conception that to God’s mind human measures and standards of time have no inherent reality (‘One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,’ 2 Peter 3:8). The notion shows a trace of philosophical influence in the thinking which culminates in the apocalyptical conception of the transiency of time and its contrast with eternity (‘There shall be time no longer,’ Revelation 10:6).
2. Season.-Time from the point of view of its special content or relation to a definite event or events is specifically denoted by the term καιρός (generally, ‘definite time’). The most accentuated usage of the term in this sense is the Apocalyptist’s καιρὸν καὶ καιροὺς καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ (Revelation 12:14), where the evident design is to indicate a period of known duration, like a year (or century). The term is more nearly synonymous with ‘season’ when it designates a time (the time during the year) for the appearance of certain events ([2] τοῦ θερισμοῦ, Matthew 13:30; καιρὸς σύκων, Mark 11:13 : cf. Luke 20:10; τοὺς καρποὺς ἐν τοῖς καιροῖς αὐτῶν, Matthew 21:41). More generally καιρός is any division of time which differs from all others by some characteristic, as, for instance, that it ought to be observed as more sacred (μῆνας καὶ καιρούς, Galatians 4:10); to be watched against because of the evil influences which it brings (καιροὶ χαλεποί, 2 Timothy 3:1); chosen by God for special revelation of His word (Titus 1:3); a period when certain special events develop, distinguished by the moral character of the Gentiles (καιροὶ ἐθνῶν, Luke 21:24); events have their own time (Luke 1:20), persons may have their own time for the full display of their peculiar character or the accomplishment of their work (e.g. the time of Jesus, ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐμός, ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ὑμέτερος, John 7:6; John 7:8). The term καιρός thus differs from χρόνος in designating ‘opportune’ or ‘fit’ time, a time associated with, and therefore distinguished by, some special event or feature. In the phrase πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρός (Mark 1:15) the more appropriate term would have been χρόνος, but since the intention of the writer is to show not the lapse of mere time, but the appearance of a new era, the word used expresses the idea more accurately.
3. The ages.-The largest measure of time known is the ‘age’ (αἰών, ‘aeon’). An ‘age,’ however, is not a definite period (though the ‘present age’ is estimated by some as 10,000 or 5,000 years in duration). It is rather a period of vast length. It so far transcends thought that it impresses the mind with the mystery of the whole notion of time. Hence the combination ‘eternal times’ (Romans 16:25) stretching back into the inconceivably remote past (practically the equivalent of the modern philosophical ‘species of eternity’).
The conception of the aeon is specially prominent in the apocalyptic system, which looks on all duration as divided into aeons. An aeon combines in itself the essential content of the Hebrew ‘olam and of the Greek αἰών. In the first the emphasis is laid on the mysterious aspect of time without measure and apart from all known conditions. In the second the conception is based on a cyclic return similar to that marked by the seasons of the year. The modern analogy may be found in the geologic period. On a still larger scale the aeon has its analogy in the Hindu kalpa. Of such ages there is an indefinite series. This is given in the plural (αἰῶνες, Galatians 1:5, Philippians 4:20, 1 Timothy 1:17, 2 Timothy 4:18, Hebrews 13:21; Hebrews 13 :1 Peter 4:11, Rev., passim). The series taken together constitutes all time (‘All the ages,’ Revised Version margin, εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας, Judges 1:25).
Later Jewish thought singled out two aeons (ages) and largely limited itself to their contemplation. From the practical point of view these were the only ones that concerned living men. These two were the ‘present age’ (ὁ αἰὼν οὗτος, ὁ νῦν αἰών, ὁ ἐνεστώς αἰών, עוֹלָם הָרּה, Ephesians 1:21, Matthew 12:32, Galatians 1:4, 2 Timothy 4:10, Titus 2:12) and the ‘future age’ (ὁ αἰων ὁ μέλλων, ὁ αἰών ὁ ἐρχόμενος, עוֹלָם הַבָּא, Hebrews 6:5, Luke 20:35; Luke 18:30). The doctrine became prominent in the Apocalypses (cf. 4 Ezr 7:50). It fitted the apocalyptic scheme wonderfully. On one side it helped to define the older prophetic ‘latter days’ (as a distinct period when ideal conditions would prevail); at the same time it gave a background to the doctrine of the ‘Day of Jehovah. On the other side, by discovering an ideal moral character in the latter age, the doctrine infused comfort into the hearts of the faithful in the present evil days by promising a definite change with the beginning of the new era. Questions of the exact length of the age were raised and by some answered. The author of Ethiopic Enoch, xvi. 1, xviii. 16, xxi. 6, fixes the duration of the ‘evil [3] age’ as 10,000 years; the Assumption of Moses at 5,000. The apocalyptists consider that they are themselves living so near the end of the older age and the beginning of the new that it may be a question as to whether they will be still living when the crisis arrives and the one age yields to the other (4 Ezr_4:37; Ezr_5:50 ff; Ezra 6:20; Syr. Bar. xliv. 8ff.). These two ages (the present and the one to come) are successive. But this is not the case with all the aeons of the series. ‘Unto the ages of the ages.’ (εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων) suggests the inequality of some of the ages and the inclusion of the briefer within the longer ones (cf. G. B. Winer, Grammar of NT Greek9, Edinburgh, 1882, p. 36).
4. The era.-The NT writings contain no allusion to a uniform era. Undoubtedly each people of the period used its own era. The Romans dated events and documents from the founding of the city (a.u.c. = 752 b.c.); the Greeks went back to the beginning of the Olympiads (= 776 b.c.). The Jews, owing to the frequent vicissitudes experienced in their history, had changed their method of registering the relative dates of events. The Books of Kings and Chronicles use the very familiar device of synchronizing the regnal years of the kings of Israel and Judah respectively. Occasionally the deliverance from bondage in Egypt is used as a starting-point (1 Kings 6:1), or the building of the Temple of Solomon (9:10), or the beginning of the Babylonian Exile (Ezekiel 33:21; Ezekiel 40:1). The later Jewish usage settled down to reckoning all events from the creation of the world, which was supposed to have occurred in the 3761st year before the birth of Christ. But this computation is of post-Christian origin. In the Apocrypha, which may be regarded as the fair index of usage at the time, the Seleucid Era is frequently referred to. This was computed from the year of the seizure of Palestine by Seleucus after the battle of Gaza. It was also called the Era of the Greeks or Syro-Macedonians and (incorrectly) the Era of Alexander. By the Jews it was called the Year of Contracts (Tarik Dilkarnaim) from the fact that it was obligatory in the case of all legal documents. The beginning of the era was dated in the first year of the 117th Olympiad or 442 a.u.c., hence 312 b.c. (1 Maccabees 1:11; 1 Maccabees 6:16; 1 Maccabees 7:15; 1 Maccabees 10:1). The Era of Simon (1 Maccabees 13:42; 1 Maccabees 14:27) was proposed, but never extensively adopted.
In the New Testament events are associated with the reigns of contemporary rulers (‘In the days of Herod the king’ [4], ‘in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea ,’ etc. [5]). But in all cases the dating is approximate and intended to serve practical rather than scientific ends. With the exception of Luke 3:1-2, all such dating of events seems not to be intentionally chronological (cf. A. Harnack, The Acts of the Apostles, London, 1909, p. 6 f.).
The method of Matthew (Matthew 1:17) of giving a general intimation of date by the expedient of ‘generations’ is unique and highly artificial.
5. The year.-It has always been difficult to adjust with precision the limits of the year. In all the efforts to make the adjustment first the natural return of the seasons with their agricultural features calls for a definition that will harmonize with the apparent revolution of the sun around the earth in 365 + days. But the fact that this period approximately coincides with twelve lunar periods has tempted many peoples to settle down to a year of 354 days. In the Apostolic Age the problem had not as yet been solved fully. The usage of Palestine, inherited from early Canaanite and Babylonian antecedents, was still prevalent. The year began with the 1st of Nisan and was constituted of twelve months, with the periodical intercalation of a thirteenth to equalize difference. Intercalation was common all over the world, but the method of intercalating was different at different times, and probably not constant anywhere for any consecutive period of time. Among the Jews the Sanhedrin decided whether in any particular year a month should be intercalated. Among the Romans Plutarch testifies that 22 days were added every other year to the month of February (which, according to Varro, de Ling. Lat. vi. 55, was the last month of the year). But a more common way was the insertion of an additional month every three years, and as this left a troublesome margin it was corrected into three months every eight years and finally fixed as seven months in a cycle of nineteen years. This cycle was introduced into Athens by Meton the astronomer in 432, but found its way only gradually into general practice. Popularly the year must always have been viewed as divided into 12 months (Revelation 22:2).
6. The month.-Throughout the Apostolic Age the ancient way of fixing the month as the exact equivalent of a complete lunation was maintained. The month accordingly began with the appearance of the moon in its first phase, and ended with its reappearance in the same phase the next time. Within the New Testament months are mentioned generally, not with precise reference to their relations to one another in the calendar, but as an indication and a measure of time in the terms of the fraction of a year (Luke 1:24; Luke 1:36; Luke 1:56). In Acts it is probable that the usage is not meant to be minutely precise since the mention of months is invariably in threes (Acts 7:20; Acts 19:8; Acts 20:3; Acts 28:11, but once in twice three-six, Acts 18:11).
So far as the calendar is concerned, there are evidences of mixed usage. The predominance at different times of different influences (Roman, Macedonian, Egyptian, older Jewish) brought into use different names. The occurrence of Xanthicus in 2 Maccabees 11:30; 2 Maccabees 11:38 (the sixth month of the Macedonian calendar) shows clearly the existence of a Macedonian element in the mixed usage. The name ‘Dioscorinthius’ (mentioned earlier in the same account, 2 Maccabees 11:21) is also probably Macedonian and a modified form of the first month, Dius. It may, however, be a textual corruption for ‘Dystrus’ (the name of the fifth month), as H. A. Redpath, in Hastings’ Hastings’ Single-vol. Dictionary of the Bible , p. 937, suggests, supporting the suggestion with the Sinaitic text of Tobit 2:12, where Dystrus is mentioned. Otherwise Dioscorinthius is the name of an intercalary month. That an intercalary month must have had a place in the Macedonian calendar is to be assumed, though its name and place are unknown. Of the Egyptian calendar traces are found in the names ‘Pachon’ and ‘Epiphi’ in 3 Maccabees 6:38.
7. The feasts.-A popular and practically useful method of reckoning time within the year is that which relates events to well-known religious festivals. This method is especially useful where for some reason or other the names of months have become involved in confusion. In the nature of the case, of such festivals in the New Testament the Passover (‘the days of unleavened bread,’ ἡμέραι τῶν ἀζύμων, Acts 12:3; Acts 20:6, πάσχα, Acts 12:4) stands prominent. The Day of Pentecost (ἡμέρα τῆς πεντηκοστῆς, Acts 2:1; Acts 20:18) and the Day of Atonement (‘fast,’ νηστεία, Acts 27:9) are also used as landmarks. But in the allusion to the Feast of Dedication (ἐνκαίνια, John 10:22) the intention perhaps was not so much to give the exact time as to account for Jesus’ walking ‘in the temple in Solomon’s porch.’ Similarly the Feast of Tabernacles (σκηνοπηγία, John 7:2) is mentioned as explanatory of the course which Jesus had taken. In John 5:1 the purpose of the author would be defeated if he had meant to fix the time of the action (cf. also Luke 22:1, Mark 15:6, John 6:4; John 12:12).
8. The week.-Though peculiar to the Jewish people, the constitution of a unit of time by grouping together seven days was retained in the usage of the Christian Church. But no separate word was adopted to designate the week as such. In spite of the fact that the Greek language offered the tempting word ἑβδομάς (which came later into universal use) the period was generally known by its last day, the Sabbath (σάββατον, Luke 18:12), and in the plural (σάββατα), as shown in the name of the first day (μία τῶν σαββάτων, Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1). In Acts 17:2, σάββατα τρία (rendered ‘weeks’ in Revised Version margin) is, in the light of St. Paul’s custom to use the Sabbath day as the time for preaching (Acts 18:4), correctly translated ‘three Sabbath days.’ The seven-day period required to mature the process of fulfilling a vow is evidently not viewed as a week in the modern sense of any period of seven consecutive days (Acts 21:27).
With the exception of the Sabbath (the seventh day) the days of the week are given no names, but are distinguished by ordinal numbers. The first day, however, acquired greater importance among Christians because of its association with the resurrection of the Lord (‘Lord’s day,’ κυριακὴ ἡμέρα, Revelation 1:10). And this ultimately came to be the name of the day (= Dominica). It was the day on which the Christians assembled together for the observance of their services (the ‘breaking of bread,’ mutual exhortation, taking up collections for the needs of their brethren, Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2). But in the earlier period the day was called the ‘first of the week’ (μία τῶν σαββάτων, Acts 20:7). Other distinctions between the days of the week do not appear, with the exception of the fact that the day before the Sabbath was observed among the Jews as a season of preparation. Sometimes it was designated simply as the ‘eve of the Sabbath’ (προσάββατον, Judith 8:6, Mark 15:42); but in the NT oftener as the ‘Preparation [4]’ [παρασκευή, Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:14; John 19:42). It was scarcely as yet the fixed name of the day. This it became later as it was taken up by Christian usage, and persists to the present time as the proper name of Friday in modern Greek.
9. The day.-Jewish custom fixed the beginning of the day at sunset. Since that custom prevails to the present time among the Jews it is not likely that it was ever superseded among them. Nevertheless, the Roman way of reckoning from midnight was evidently prevalent at least in official circles. The testimony, however, is limited to the Fourth Gospel, and the point of view may be peculiar to the author (John 19:14; cf. also John 1:39, John 4:6). The day was divided into two sections of twelve hours, i.e. from midnight to midnight. These two sections might be viewed together as a twenty-four-hour unit (St. Paul spent a νυχθήμερον, ‘a night and a day,’ in the deep, 2 Corinthians 11:25). Of the night-day unit the day is the time for work (John 11:9) and the night is divided into four military watches of three hours each (Matthew 14:25; Matthew 24:43, Mark 6:48, Luke 12:38).
Related to each day stand the day preceding and the day following or the day after. The day preceding (‘yesterday,’ ἐχθές, John 4:52, Acts 7:28, Hebrews 13:8) is not so frequently mentioned as the day following (‘morrow,’ ἡ αὔριον, Acts 4:3; Acts 4:5; Acts 23:20; Acts 25:22; ἡ ἐπαύριον, Acts 10:9; Acts 14:20; Acts 20:7; ἡ ἐπιοῦσα, Time
Life in the present world is inseparably bound up with time. Time is part of God’s created order (Genesis 1:14; Hebrews 1:2). By contrast God, being the eternal one and the creator of all things, is not limited in any way by time. This means that his view of time is different from that of human beings (Isaiah 57:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 Timothy 6:16; 2 Peter 3:8; see ETERNITY).
Nevertheless, God is able to use time to bring his purposes to fulfilment (Galatians 4:4), and he gives it to the people of his creation to use also (Ecclesiastes 5:18; Ecclesiastes 8:15). Men and women are therefore responsible to God for the way they use their time (1 Peter 1:15-17). (Concerning systems for reckoning time see DAY; MONTH.)
As a wise, powerful and loving Creator, God sees that everything happens at the right time to maintain the world for the benefit of his creatures (Luke 10:40-422; 2 Kings 4:16; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Acts 14:17). He controls history, often announcing in advance the precise time for his actions (Exodus 9:18; Isaiah 37:33-38; Romans 13:11-14). (Concerning the time element in the writings of the prophets see PROPHECY.) Jesus’ birth, ministry, death and resurrection all took place at the time God had appointed (Galatians 4:4; Mark 1:15; John 8:20; John 12:23; John 12:27; John 17:1). Christ’s return will also occur when God’s time has come (Mark 13:32; Acts 1:7; Revelation 14:15; see DAY OF THE LORD).
Because history is moving constantly towards its climax, Christians must use their time wisely (Psalms 90:12; Colossians 4:5). They should see time not merely as a period measured by a clock or a calendar, but as an opportunity given them to use. This does not mean that they have to create unnecessary pressure by squeezing as much as they can into their time, but that they should live and behave as befits God’s people (Ephesians 5:15-17; 1 Peter 4:1-3). The prospect of Christ’s return is an incentive not to hectic activity but to more Christlike conduct (Acts 17:26; 1 John 2:18; 1 John 2:28).
God wants people to use their time in worthwhile work, but his gift of the Sabbath shows that he also wants them to have time for rest (Exodus 23:12; cf. Genesis 2:2-3). People should not waste their time through laziness or worthless activities (Proverbs 10:4-5; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 18:9; 2 Thessalonians 3:11-12; 1 Timothy 5:13), but neither should they spend their time in constant activity that leaves no time for proper relaxation (Nehemiah 13:15-21; Ecclesiastes 2:21-23; Amos 8:5; cf. Mark 6:30-31; 1618422703_89; see WORK).
In their concern for time, people should not try to calculate when present life will end. Rather they should use the opportunity of the present life to accept God’s salvation and grow in Christian character (Acts 1:6-8; 2 Corinthians 6:1-2; Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 4:7; Hebrews 5:12-14; Hebrews 10:25; cf. Luke 12:16-20; James 4:13-16).
Charles Buck Theological Dictionary - Time
Mode of duration marked by certain periods, chiefly by the motion and revolution of the sun. The general idea which times gives in every thing to which it is applied, is that of limited duration. Thus we cannot say of the Deity that he exists in time, because eternity, which he inhabits, is absolutely uniform, neither admitting limitation nor succession. Time is said to be redeemed or improved when it is properly filled up, or employed in the conscientious discharge of all the duties which devolve upon us, as it respects the Divine Being, ourselves, and our fellow-creatures. Time may be said to be lost when it is not devoted to some good, useful, or at least some innocent purpose; or when opportunities of improvement, business, or devotion, are neglected. Time is wasted by excessive sleep, unnecessary recreations, indolent habits, useless visits, idle reading, vain conversation, and all those actions which have no good end in them. We ought to improve the time, when we consider,
1. That it is short.
2. Swift.
3. Irrecoverable.
4. Uncertain.
5. That it is a talent committed to our trust.
and,
6. That the improvement of it is advantageous and interesting in every respect.

Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament - Time (2)
TIME.—1. The word ‘time’ is used in the Gospels in a variety of phrases more or less indefinite. Probably the most definite expression is ἐν στιγμῇ χρόνου, ‘in a moment of time’ (Luke 4:5). χρόνος is used of time in general (Luke 1:57; Luke 8:27, Mark 9:21, John 5:6), passing or having passed. In a similar sense we find ὥρα (Mark 6:35) rendered ‘day’ in Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 (see Day). More definite is ἀπὸ τότε, ‘from that time’ (Matthew 4:17; Matthew 16:21, Luke 16:16), and ἕως τοῦ νῦν, ‘until now’ (Matthew 24:21 Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 , Mark 13:19). The most important word, however, is καιρός, used invariably of a definite period or occasion. Three uses in this sense are noteworthy. (1) It is used to indicate the time of certain events in the ministry of Jesus (Matthew 11:25; Matthew 12:1; Matthew 14:1). (2) In a special sense we have the remarkable passage John 7:6; John 7:8 ‘My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready,’ where the contrast is used apparently to emphasize the peculiar character of Jesus’ mission and the hostility which it aroused in Jerusalem. (3) Most important is the use of καιρός to indicate the dawn of a new epoch—πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρός, ‘the time is fulfilled’ (cf. John 13:33, Luke 12:56, Matthew 16:3)—which the ministry of Jesus had inaugurated. This new era is contrasted with the past (Mark 1:15) and with the future (Mark 10:30, Luke 18:30; see artt. Day [1], Generation). In a similar sense of world-period or era we have καιροὶ ἐθνῶν, ‘the times of the Gentiles’ (Luke 21:24; but cf. עֵת גּוֹיַם, i.e. judgment-day, Ezekiel 30:3). καιρὸς is also used of a season of the year (Mark 11:13, Matthew 13:30; cf. Luke 12:42).
2. Various methods of reckoning time were in existence at the beginning of the Christian era, and this fact makes it extremely difficult to locate events with any certainty. The time of day was reckoned at the outset mainly by physical considerations, temperature, etc. (Genesis 3:8; Genesis 18:1, 1 Samuel 11:9, Job 24:15), or by the sun’s movements (Genesis 19:15; Genesis 32:24); the night in early Jewish history was reckoned by watches (see artt. Day, Hour, Night, Watch). The days of the week were numbered, not named.
The division of time into weeks was probably of Babylonian origin, and would be suggested by the moon’s phases, although there is no trace of this influence either in OT or NT. The word for ‘week’ in the Gospels is σάββατον (Luke 18:12). The use of the plural (Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1) may have arisen from the Aram. Aramaic Sabbĕthâ, ‘the Sabbath’ (Heb. Shabbâth), which at an early date gave its name to the whole week.
Of the larger divisions of time, the month, so familiar in OT times, is hardly mentioned in the NT (Luke 1:26; Luke 1:36, John 4:25). The Jewish month was lunar. Hence the usual Hebrew name for ‘month’ (חֹדֶשׁ) is properly the ‘new moon.’ Three methods were employed to distinguish the month: (1) old Canaanite names, of which only four now survive; (2) numerals (Genesis 7:11, Exodus 19:1 etc.); (3) Babylonian names (see Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible iv. 765).
The Jewish year, like the month, was originally lunar, consisting of 354 days. But as this fell so far short of the full solar year, difficulty would naturally arise in celebrating feasts at the same time in each year. To avoid this, it became necessary to add an extra month at least once in three years. This was done by adding a second Adar (the Bab. [2] name for the twelfth month), February–March, so contrived that the Passover, celebrated on the 14th Nisan (the first month), should always fall after the spring equinox. The exact method of doing this is somewhat obscure. But as a month in three years was hardly sufficient, a cycle of eight years was observed in which three months were intercalated, based on general observation of the seasons. This continued until some time after the Christian era, when a more perfect system, a cycle of nineteen years with seven months intercalated—the invention of an astronomer of Athens named Meton—was adopted. It seems unlikely that the Jews had any fixed chronological calendar in the time of Christ, but this is disputed (see Wieseler, Chronol. Synopsis of the Four Gospels, p. 401, etc.).
The method of reckoning years is a complicated and difficult subject. In accordance with Eastern ideas, that precision in reckoning events to which we moderns are accustomed was unknown. It was not considered necessary (cf. e.g. the loose phrases ‘in the days of Herod the king,’ Matthew 2:1; and ‘Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,’ Luke 3:1); nor was it easily attainable. For it was possible for a writer in NT times to employ various systems of reckoning, and it was also possible to employ any one system in various ways. In addition to the various eras in which it was common to reckon, viz. the Olympiad era beginning b.c. 776; the Seleucid, used in the Books of the Maccabees, beginning b.c. 312; the Actian beginning b.c. 31; there was also the Roman method of reckoning by consuls or emperors (Luke 3:1), and the Jewish by high priests. Further, the year began at a different time in different countries, e.g. the Roman year began on Jan. 1, but in a few cases the emperors dated their years from the date of their election as tribunes of the people on Dec. 10. The Jewish saercd year began about the vernal equinox, as did also, in all probability, the years of the Seleucid era. But in Asia Minor a year beginning in autumn was also observed in ordinary use. These and other considerations render it almost impossible to give the precise date of any event even in NT times (see art. Dates). The one date given with any apparent precision is in Luke 3:1 ‘in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.’ This seems tolerably accurate, but the actual date intended depends on how St. Luke reckoned. He may have dated from the death of Augustus, Aug. 19, a.d. 14, counting that year as the first of Tiberius’ reign, or from the beginning of a.d. 15, which was also a method of reckoning. Or he may have reckoned from Dec. 10, a.d. 15, when Tiberius assumed tribunician authority. Or, as the tribunician authority was interrupted in the reign of Tiberius, St. Luke may have dated his reign from the time when he assumed tribunician power the second time. In addition, there is the question whether St. Luke would reckon according to the Roman year from Jan. 1, or, according to local methods prevalent in Syria, from the autumn equinox.

Holman Bible Dictionary - Time, Meaning of
The chronological sequence of life and its significance in biblical teaching.
God and Time The biblical God is not governed by time because He is the Lord of time. God is in time in the sense that He is sovereignly present in all the events of time, confronting His people with His warnings and His promises. However, this is not the same as saying that God is caught up in time or governed by it. Humankind cannot bind Him to special sacred times; rather, He encounters humankind in each moment of their temporal existence, offering each new day as an opportunity for judgment in the event of their willful stubbornness or for redemption in the event of their repentance.
Both the Old and New Testaments speak of God as everlasting, but they do not participate in the abstract, philosophical notion that He lives in an eternity of splendid isolation. Western thinking borrowed that from the ancient Greeks. To the people of the Bible—Israelites and Jewish
Christians living out of the Hebraic heritage—it would have been impossible to even think of eternity as a timelessness before and after time. The Hebrew words that are translated “eternal” and “eternity,” along with the New Testament Greek equivalents, conceive only of endlessness or perpetuity, that is the absence of the temporal conditionedness marking every finite creature.
To say God is eternal from the biblical standpoint means that His existence brackets cosmic time. He was there at the beginning of all created things; He will be there when temporal reality ends; and He is present at every moment in between. This is the true meaning of eternity. Before, above, and beyond all creaturely existence, God is; yet He is intimately close in every temporal experience—not passively but actively—governing all His creatures and calling each person, to whom He has given the power of free choice, to obey and believe.
Because the Bible is no theological treatise, it never speculates about these facts. Rather, it presents them in passages whose immediate purpose is to call for true obedience and trusting faith. The poems in Isaiah 40-55 directly state God's creative presence at the beginning of all things ( Isaiah 48:12-13 ; compare Isaiah 41:4 ; Isaiah 44:6 ). These words are addressed to a people in Exile, despairing that their God has abandoned them. The prophet assured them that the God who created in the beginning can create redemption for them.
Temporality, on the other hand, is an inescapable aspect of mankind's creaturely existence. Created of dust (Genesis 2:7 ), human beings must sometime die. As there is no limit to the Creator's existence, there is a necessary and inescapable limit to human existence. Genesis teaches that this is intended to keep people from seizing immortality and becoming like God (Genesis 3:22 ), to limit a person's lifetime in order to restrain and order the penchant for self-exaltation and violence (Genesis 6:3 ; Genesis 11:6 ). The human creature may not lay hold on the unending existence that belongs only to the Creator. Rather than attempting to seize immortality, humanity is advised to “remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come” (Ecclesiastes 12:1 : 1 NRSV; compare Ecclesiastes 11:8 ). Measuring and qualifying time
Like all ancient peoples, the people of the Bible were aware of the passage of time. They learned to mark seasons and measure durations. To be sure, they knew nothing of modern man's clock-watching and tight scheduling. They experienced time much more holistically. No evidence indicates that the Israelites counted seconds, minutes, or even hours (the Jews of the New Testament learned to count hours from the Romans). All their time units were based on observation and experience. Thus the day was divided up into “watches” (compare Exodus 14:24 ; 1 Samuel 11:11 ), measured by observation of the sun's position in the sky. They counted years by the cycle of the seasons, but especially by observation of the sun's return in its annual orbit. Their months were not based on an arbitrary number like our 30 days but were counted from one new moon to the next, making it necessary to add extra “intercalary” days after twelve months to make the new year (365 days) begin on a new moon ;c5 month. (Because the Jews have continued this method, their years have a variable new beginning from September into October.) By far the most important unit of time was the day, the most basic unit of intuitive experience. Early on, the Israelites counted the day from morning till evening, or, counting the night in between, from one morning to the next. Because of the growing importance of the rising moon for festival observance, they later came to count the day from the evening, and this is the Jewish custom today. What is important for understanding the biblical view of time is the fact that days were not just counted, but were identified by their most significant event. Throughout the Scriptures we read of “day of rejoicing,” “day of trouble,” “day of salvation,” expressions that commemorate a given day's experiential quality. As a matter of fact, the Hebrew word y|#om, meaning “day,” is the fifth most frequently used word in the Old Testament. Though used for all sorts of common experiences, it came to be used for marking special days of God's revelatory appearance, whether to individual persons or to the nation. Most notably, there was a “day” of Israel's election (Deuteronomy 9:24 ; compare Ezekiel 16:4-5 ), a “day” when God brought His people out of Egypt (Judges 19:30 ; 1 Samuel 8:8 ; 2 Samuel 7:6 ; Isaiah 11:16 ; Jeremiah 7:22 ,Jeremiah 7:22,7:25 ), but also a “day” of restoration (Zechariah 8:9-12 ). There was also a “day” of judgment ( 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 ). A final day when God would judge the world was “the day of the Lord” (Amos 5:18-19 ; Isaiah 13:6 ; Zephaniah 1:7 ).
When the plural of yom (day) is used, it may measure a significant period or sequence of days, such as the length of a king's reign ( 2 Samuel 2:11 NAS margin). Often the plural is synonymous with the word et , which means “time” or “situation” and refers to an ongoing period identified by its experiential quality. There were good and evil days or times; Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 provides a list of such times while warning that mankind is unable to discern God's intent in sending them. Usually a person's “days” weigh more heavily with evil than with good (compare Genesis 47:9 ; Job 7:1 ,Job 7:1,7:16 ; Psalm 144:4 , Ecclesiastes 2:23 ). Psalm 90:1 , which measures mankind's brief life (Psalm 90:9-10 ) against God's eternity (Psalm 90:2 ,Psalms 90:2,90:4 ), prays that God will do two things: (1) “teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart” (Psalm 90:12 NRSV) and (2) “make us glad as many days as you have afflicted us, and as many years as we have seen evil” ( Psalm 90:15 NRSV).
Time and history The habit of the people of the Bible to identify certain days by their dominant quality is not to be compared with the ancient Babylonian notion that the quality of every day and time is set by heavenly decree, fixed so firmly that even the gods are forced to submit to it. The Babylonians observed the heavenly constellations and made them the clock that brought good or evil. If a memorable calamity had occurred under a given constellation and when the planets were in a certain convergence, the recurrence of this heavenly configuration would be the inevitable omen of evil. Thus the Babylonians saw no organic, cause and effect, interconnection between human events. Because of their fatalism, they developed no true understanding of history and saw no ultimate purpose in human striving.
Egypt, another ancient neighbor to Israel, had little of this cosmic determinism; yet the Egyptian civilization was equally unable to understand and deal with history. Time in Egyptian thought was an endless, meaningless cycle of death and rebirth, a continual return to primordial reality. Everything new was only a new incarnation of its eternal model, just as each Pharaoh was a reincarnation of the divine. Here one finds no sharp delimitation of times, as in Babylonian civilization, yet historical event remained meaningless because only the eternal order was real.
This description, little understood by Bible readers, is an illuminating preface to the biblical understanding of time and history. The Bible teaches that people, man are free to act—but always they are called to act in accordance with God's revealed law. Preceding all responsible human acts, however, is God's saving act within history. The Israelites were unique in the ancient world in their belief that God had not made them with the land of Canaan, like the Egyptians with the Nile, but had brought them as strangers to settle in a land that was not theirs (Genesis 12:1-3 ) through a mighty act at the commencement of their existence as a people. Later, Israel became a people in the deliverance from Egypt.
God gave them His law from Sinai, and ever thereafter they strove imperfectly to be God's people and to keep His law. Because of their vacillating and backsliding, they lived constantly between the promise and the fulfillment. Their striving had historical significance because their God was present to blame their failure while urging them forward to a more perfect obedience. The people of the Bible were different because they were free in the presence of the eternal God to obey or disobey; and, in the event of their disobedience, they were free to repent and be saved (Ezekiel 33:11 ).
Biblical humanity saw themselves standing in a present moment of critical decision making, looking back upon the records of an imperfect obedience that spoke also of God's grace and forbearance, interpreting this as a warning and a renewed promise of grace for the future. Thus the past is a mirror of the future, showing the perils and opportunities that are yet to be. This arms mankind for a commitment here and now, once and again, to decide for God.
Christ's new time After a long age of waiting and sometimes of despair, the Jewish people who were heirs of the Old Testament promises heard the announcement that God had brought history to its fulfillment in His Messiah (Mark 1:15 ). This Messiah eventually died a cruel death on the cross, but when He arose to everlasting life, His followers went into all the world to announce, “See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2 NRSV; compare 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 ). Just as Jesus had declined at the moment of His ascension to give His followers a clue to times and seasons (Acts 1:7 ), Paul refused to tell the church when the end would come, except to tell them that it would come suddenly and unexpectedly, like a thief in the night (Lamentations 1:12 ), and that God was presently acting to overcome the mystery of “the man of lawlessness,” which must first be destroyed. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 )
Some are troubled that the mystery of lawlessness is still at work and has delayed the “day of the Lord” for another two thousand years. In spite of this, we must affirm with Paul and with Christ Himself that God's new age has most certainly arrived. Mankind is still lost, but only insofar as the gospel, widely proclaimed to all the world, is ignored. We too should be warned off from calculating days and seasons, for the fullness of time has already appeared. In His Son God gave mankind the most perfect revelation of Himself (John 14:5-11 ). For each human person, nothing counts but the present moment—the moment of decision for Christ—which brings the history of divine salvation to a climax of meaning in the life of peoples and individuals. Deciding for Christ in the present moment is the decisive act in waiting for Him.
Sacred time Israel's neighbors were very religious. They believed that their gods could be contacted at holy places (the shrines) and at holy times (the religious festivals). The biblical God, as Creator of the world and Lord of history, cannot be tied down to special places and special times. Nevertheless, His ancient people did right when they built the Temple and set aside holy seasons for His worship. This was not intended to coerce God but to hallow His holy presence for prayer and thanksgiving. Every time that Israel met for worship, it praised God for that great day at the beginning of their history, when He delivered them from Egypt; it praised Him also for every day of divine intervention. To keep His sabbaths and holy festivals and to gather in His temple, was an act of celebration and recommitment.
The Temple is long since destroyed, yet Jews and Christians gather in holy places and at holy seasons to continue their praise and renew their prayers. There is nothing sacrosanct about our church buildings or about our holy days. They are made holy by our intention. It seems a departure from biblical religion when the liturgy designs to recreate the real, bodily presence of Christ. Yet Christ must be present if worship is to be valid. It is God's greatest saving deed on our behalf, the death and resurrection of Christ, that must come to pass in our hearts anew. Then we will speak and testify in “the great congregation” (see Psalm 22:25 NRSV), recreating in our worship the reality of Christ. All time belongs to God ( Genesis 1:1 ), but sacred times, especially set aside and devoutly observed, serve to show once again our participation in the great events of God's appearance. See History ; Time.
Simon J. DeVries
Holman Bible Dictionary - Fullness of Time
The traditional rendering of two similar Greek expressions in Galatians 4:4 and Ephesians 1:10 . The first refers to a past event, the sending of Christ to redeem those born under the law. While the sending of God's Son encompasses the whole of Christ's incarnate ministry, the New Testament specifically relates the sending to Christ's death as a saving event (John 3:17 ; Romans 8:3 ; 1 John 4:9-10 ). The sending of Christ in the fullness of time refers not so much to world conditions in the sense that the prevalence of Greek as a common spoken language, Roman roads, and the Roman enforced peace made the rapid spread of the gospel possible. Rather the emphasis is on God whose sending of Christ is not a “last ditch effort” but part of God's gracious plan from the beginning.
The reference to the fullness of time in Ephesians is more difficult. Some translations understand the time when all things are gathered together in Christ to lie in the future (NIV, TEV); others, in the past (REB). A major theme of Ephesians is that Christ has already broken down the dividing wall of hostility between Jew and Gentile (1 John 2:11-22 , especially 1John 2:14,1 John 2:21 ). Therefore, it seems likely that the crucial shift in time between the past with its hopelessness and hostility and the present age of reconciliation has already occurred.

Alas! there may be much hearing, much reading, much attendance at public services, and very small result, and all because the word was not the subject of thought, and was never embraced by the understanding.

Revelation 10:6 (a) This passage does not mean that there will be an end to the clocks and that time will be no more. It refers to the fact that what must be done is to be done immediately. There can be no procrastination, no putting off until later, no indecision, every matter must be immediately attended to, without delay. It may be illustrated by the time of the departure of the train. If the train leaves at 9:00 o'clock, then there is no more time to get on board.
Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament - Fulness of the Time
FULNESS OF THE TIME (τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου).—An expression used by St. Paul (Galatians 4:4) to mark the opportuneness of the coming of Christ into the world, and the ripeness of the age for the great religious revolution He was to effect. It emphasizes the unique significance of the period as the culmination of a long course of events, by which the way had been providentially prepared for Christ’s appearance, and His introduction of a purer type of religion. The evidences of such a providential preparation are indeed remarkable. Along different lines of historical development a situation had been created at the very centre of the world’s life, that was singularly favourable to the planting and spread of a loftier faith. The main factors usually recognized as contributing to this result were: (1) the peculiar condition which the Jewish people had reached; (2) the dissemination of the Greek language, culture, and commercial activity; and (3) the unifying influence of Rome.
1. The peculiar condition of the Jewish people.—Centuries of chequered discipline had fixed in the Jewish mind the belief in one true and perfectly righteous God, and subsequently to the return from the Exile there had been no relapse into idolatry. Latterly, indeed, through the influence of the scribes and Pharisees, legalism and formality had crept in, and the externalization of religion had been carried far; yet in many classes of society there was a wistful straining after inner purity and a more living fellowship with God; and in spite of the soulless bondage of ceremonial observances, there was an amount of deep and reverent piety that kept the nation’s heart sounder than might appear on the surface. At all events, nowhere else in the world did there exist so vivid a conception of the Divine holiness or so high a recognized standard of morality; nowhere else, therefore, were there so many devout minds ready to receive a new spiritual revelation, or so well fitted to furnish heralds and apostles for its propagation.
Then there was the revival of the Messianic hope, which, kept alive by the pressure of repeated misfortunes, had, under the tightening grip of Roman domination, sprung up with passionate intensity. The political situation was galling, and the Jewish people, pining to be free from the foreign yoke, consoled themselves with the thought of a glorious future. It was a time of high-strung unrest and expectancy; yet although the prospect of political emancipation was to a large extent entertained, there were multitudes of earnest souls yearning for a higher form of deliverance, the dawn of a reign of righteousness and peace, in the benefits of which not Israel only, but the whole world, should share.
Outside Palestine, again, the influence of Jewish religious ideas had been widely extended by means of the Dispersion. Conscious of being raised above the manifold forms of heathen superstition around them, the colonies of Jews settled in the trading cities of foreign lands felt themselves impelled to aspire after a certain elevation of life; while the loftier moral teaching they maintained in their synagogues attracted considerable numbers of proselytes from paganism. Thus the conception of the Divine unity and righteousness was being spread over a large section of the heathen world. So far, therefore, both at home and abroad the Jewish people had fulfilled their mission in the moral and religious preparation of the world for the entrance of Christianity.
2. The dissemination of the Greek language, culture, and commercial activity.—Ever since the conquests of Alexander the Great, the Greek tongue had attained supremacy among the civilized nations, and had become the current medium for the exchange of thought. Even the OT had to be rendered into Greek, in the translation known as the Septuagint. Moreover, Greek learning, literature, and speculation exercised a pervasive influence far and near. A significant indication of this is to be found in the rise among the Jews of the Dispersion of a school of thinkers who had imbibed the Greek culture, and who, quickened by the intellectual alertness of the Greek mind, were drawn to take part in the literary productivity of the age. The aim of this Graeco-Jewish school was to make the purer religious faith and knowledge of Israel accessible to the world. With its chief seat at Alexandria, its leading representatives, such as Aristobulus and Philo, endeavoured to show that the Mosaic law, correctly understood, contained all that the best Greek philosophers had taught. Thus was brought about a mutual action and reaction of Jewish and Greek ideas, and a soil was being made ready for a more elevated spiritual teaching, based on the unity of the Godhead and the eternal obligation of righteousness.
At the same time the commercial enterprise of the Greeks was rapidly overcoming national exclusiveness, and producing a freer intercourse between men of different races. They were the cosmopolitans of the period—inquisitive, openminded, eager to enter into all vivid interests; and in the great trading cities in Asia Minor and along the Mediterranean shore they fostered the spirit of toleration and helped to secure full scope for the advocacy of all forms of belief.
But while thus stimulating intellectual receptiveness everywhere, the most important contribution of the Greeks in the preparation for Christianity was the universal prevalence they gained for their rich and expressive language, inasmuch as by this they supplied a common vehicle of intercourse, calculated to be of immense advantage in the announcement and promulgation of the Christian Evangel.
3. The unifying influence of Rome. That the entire known world was then embraced within Rome’s imperial sway was a momentous factor in the situation which had been reached. As the barriers of language had been demolished through the influence of the Greeks, so through the influence of the Romans the barriers of nationality had been broken down. The whole world was but one country; and from the Euphrates to the Atlantic there was settled government, order, and the rule of law under one sovereign sceptre. In the lull of national strifes which had thus come—the pax Romana—merchant and traveller moved safely from land to land, and by the splendid system of roads for which the Roman Empire was famed, the lines of communication were opened in all directions. In this way Rome had performed its distinctive part by bringing about a political condition of the world hitherto unexampled in history.
Thus the three great races of antiquity had contributed their share towards the fulfilment of a manifestly providential design, and the period had now arrived when their several lines of historical development converged to a meeting-point, producing a combination of circumstances which rendered issues of vast moment possible. As it has been aptly put, ‘the City of God is built at the confluence of three civilizations’ (Conybeare and Howson’s St. Paul, i. 2).
It is worthy of note also that the little country of Palestine, where the Founder of Christianity was to appear, lay at the very centre of the then known world; and in view of the fact that through the provision of a common language and free means of movement and intercourse the avenues of access were opened to every land, it becomes clear that the most signal facilities were afforded for the dissemination of a faith that was destined to wield a world-wide power.
In addition to this, account has to be taken of the decay of the old pagan religions, and the simultaneous influx of Oriental ideas. There was a strange intermingling of races and also of religious beliefs, with the result that men’s minds were unsettled, and a spirit of inquiry was awakened among those who had grown dissatisfied with the popular heathen cults.
Manifestly the age was ripe for a new revelation that would meet the deepest needs of the human soul; and in the situation created by the course of Jewish, Greek, and Roman history, the way for it had at length been prepared. Then Jesus Christ appeared. The ‘fulness of the time’ had come for the advent of the promised Saviour with His Gospel of life and grace for the regeneration of mankind.

Vine's Expository Dictionary of OT Words - Time
A. Noun.
‛Êth (עֵת, Strong's #6256), “time; period of time; appointed time; proper time; season.” This word also appears in Phoenician, post-biblical Hebrew, Arabic (where the same radicals constitute a verb signifying “to appear”), and Akkadian (where these radicals form an adverb signifying “at the time when”). ‛Êth appears about 290 times in the Bible and in all periods.
Basically this noun connotes “time” conceived as an opportunity or season. First, the word signifies an appointed, fixed, and set time or period. This is what astrologers claimed to discern: “Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times …” (Esth. 1:13). God alone, however, knows and reveals such “appointed times”: “… In the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the Lord” (Jer. 8:12).
This noun also is used of the concept “proper or appropriate time.” This nuance is applied to the “time” God has appointed for one to die: “Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?” (Eccl. 7:17). It is used of the “appropriate or suitable time” for a given activity in life: “He hath made every thing beautiful in his time …” (Eccl. 3:11; cf. Ps. 104:27). Finally, the “appropriate time” for divine judgment is represented by ‛êth: “It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law” (Ps. 119:126).
A third use connotes “season,” or a regular fixed period of time such as springtime: “And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son” (Gen. 18:10). Similarly, the word is used of the rainy “season” (Ezra 10:13), the harvest “time” (Jer. 50:16), the migratory “period” (Jer. 8:7), and the mating “season” (Gen. 31:10).
This noun also is applied to differing “extensions of time.” In its first biblical appearance, for example, ‛êth represents the “time” (period of the day) when the sun is setting: “And the dove came in to him in the evening [1] …” (Gen. 8:11). The word is used of special occasions such as the birth of a child (Mic. 5:3) and of periods during which certain conditions persist (Exod. 18:22; Dan. 12:11).
B. Verb.
‘Anah means “to be exercised.” The noun ‛êth may be derived from this verb which occurs only 3 times in Hebrew poetry (cf. Eccl. 1:13). It may be related to an Arabic root meaning “to be disquieted or disturbed about something,” an Ethiopic root and old South Arabic root meaning “to be concerned about.” In later Hebrew this root means “to worry.”
Morrish Bible Dictionary - Last Time or Days
This was spoken of by the apostle John as then existing. There were many antichrists, whereby it was known that the last time (lit. hour) had commenced. 1 John 2:18 . Apostasy from apostolic doctrine was a sign of the last time (it was not exactly the 'last days,' as in 2Timothy). No further revelation had to be made, and if this doctrine was refused, nothing but judgement could be the result: cf. 2 Timothy 3:1 ; 2 Peter 3:3 ; Jude 18 . The 'last days' of Hebrews 1:2 and 'last times' of 1 Peter 1:20 are changed by Editors of the Greek Testament to the 'end of these days;' these passages refer to the end of the period of the law when the Messiah appeared.

* For NEITHER AT ANY TIME, Luke 15:29 , see NEVER
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary - Time
Besides the ordinary uses of this word, the Bible sometimes employs it to denote a year, as in Daniel 4:16 ; or a prophetic year, consisting of three hundred and sixty natural year, a day being taken for a year. Thus in Daniel 7:25 12:7 , the phrase "a time, times, and the dividing of a time" is supposed to mean three and a half prophetic years, or 1,260 natural years. This period is elsewhere paralleled by the expression, "forty-two months," each month including thirty years, Revelation 11:2-3 12:6,14 13:5 .

Time - Life in the present world is inseparably bound up with Time. Time is part of God’s created order (Genesis 1:14; Hebrews 1:2). By contrast God, being the eternal one and the creator of all things, is not limited in any way by Time. This means that his view of Time is different from that of human beings (Isaiah 57:15; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 Timothy 6:16; 2 Peter 3:8; see ETERNITY). ...
Nevertheless, God is able to use Time to bring his purposes to fulfilment (1 Peter 1:15-1793), and he gives it to the people of his creation to use also (Ecclesiastes 5:18; Ecclesiastes 8:15). Men and women are therefore responsible to God for the way they use their Time (1618422703_3). (Concerning systems for reckoning Time see DAY; MONTH. )...
As a wise, powerful and loving Creator, God sees that everything happens at the right Time to maintain the world for the benefit of his creatures (Deuteronomy 11:14; 2 Kings 4:16; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Acts 14:17). He controls history, often announcing in advance the precise Time for his actions (Exodus 9:18; Isaiah 37:33-38; Acts 17:26). (Concerning the Time element in the writings of the prophets see PROPHECY. ) Jesus’ birth, ministry, death and resurrection all took place at the Time God had appointed (Galatians 4:4; Mark 1:15; John 8:20; Proverbs 10:4-57; John 12:27; John 17:1). Christ’s return will also occur when God’s Time has come (Mark 13:32; Acts 1:7; Revelation 14:15; see DAY OF THE LORD). ...
Because history is moving constantly towards its climax, Christians must use their Time wisely (Psalms 90:12; Colossians 4:5). They should see Time not merely as a period measured by a clock or a calendar, but as an opportunity given them to use. This does not mean that they have to create unnecessary pressure by squeezing as much as they can into their Time, but that they should live and behave as befits God’s people (Ephesians 5:15-17; 1 Peter 4:1-3). ...
God wants people to use their Time in worthwhile work, but his gift of the Sabbath shows that he also wants them to have Time for rest (Exodus 23:12; cf. People should not waste their Time through laziness or worthless activities (1618422703_26; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 18:9; 2 Thessalonians 3:11-12; 1 Timothy 5:13), but neither should they spend their Time in constant activity that leaves no Time for proper relaxation (Nehemiah 13:15-21; Ecclesiastes 2:21-23; Amos 8:5; cf. ...

Time - It is debatable whether the Bible contains enough information to formulate a full-scale doctrine of Time; nonetheless, the significance of the biblical concept of Time is unmistakably the way it uniformly presents God at work in guiding the course of history according to his saving plan. The Hebrew et [1], moed, iddan [2], zeman [3], yom [4] and Greek kairos [5], chronos [6], aion [7] are the main biblical Time words depicting this divine work. ...
God as Lord over Time. Time is not fatalistic or capricious, but, according to Scripture, under God's personal direction and control. Time began at creation and becomes the agency through which God continues to unveil his divine purpose for it. ...
God is transcendent over Time. He established the cycle of days and seasons by which Time is known and reckoned (Genesis 1:14 ) and possesses the power to dissolve them according to his eternal purposes (Isaiah 60:19-20 ); moreover, he controls world history, determining in advance the Times set for all nations and bringing them to pass (Daniel 2:21 ; Acts 17:26 ). But God is not limited by Time (Psalm 90:4 ). He reveals himself in history according to the Times and dates set by his own authority (Acts 1:7 ) and will bring about in his own Time the consummation of world history in Jesus' return (Ephesians 1:9-10 ; 1 Timothy 6:15 ). ...
God as "the First and Last" (Isaiah 41:4 ; 44:6 ; 48:12 ), "the Beginning and End" (Revelation 21:6 ), "the one who is, was, and is to come" (Revelation 1:4,8 ), "King of the Ages" (1 Timothy 1:17 ; Revelation 15:3 ) further points out his lordship over Time. ...
The New Testament presents Jesus as Lord over Time. With the Father, he existed prior to the beginning of Time, created all things, and sustains all things (John 1:1-3 ; Colossians 1:16-17 ; Hebrews 1:2-3 ). He is neither limited by Time, nor adversely affected by it: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8 ). ...
Humanity as Subject to Time. In contrast to God and Jesus, humanity is limited by Time in the cycle of birth, life, and death. Every person bears the marks of Time in the aging process and ultimately dies (Job 14:5 ; Hebrews 9:27 ). Even our Time on earth—the events/circumstances and length of lifeare in God's hands (Psalm 31:15 ; 139:16 ). ...
All people, moreover, will experience the passage of Time in life after death. ...
Time as Redemptive History. The course of Time, in effect, appears as redemptive history. Chronological Time is of greatest importance in both Testaments as a way of tracing God's redemptive interventions in history. The revelatory nature of these divine in-breakings dispels any notion that Time is merely cyclical, without purpose and value. ...
Time is meaningfully forward-moving. Prophetic fulfillment, according to God's appointed Times, does so as well. The incarnation supremely exemplifies this: "But when the Time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons" (Galatians 4:4-5 ; cf. In the same way, Jesus' second coming, the goal and end-point of redemptive history, will come to pass at God's appointed Time (Mark 13:32 ; Acts 1:7 ; 3:21 ; 1 Timothy 6:14-15 ). ...
The Present as the Time of Salvation. The Bible unanimously declares that now is the Time of salvation. The injunction "it is Time to seek the Lord" (Hosea 10:12 ) was to be Israel's perpetual desire. The Time interval between the incarnation and the second coming appears symbolically as a jubilee year (Luke 4:19 /Isa 4:19/61:1-2 ; cf. Leviticus 25:10 ), a Time when salvation has been made available to all people through God's saving work in Jesus. Thus, "now is the Time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2 ); now is the appointed season to declare this divine mystery hidden from ages past (Colossians 1:26 ; Titus 1:3 ). ...
The present Time holds a sense of urgency for unbelievers and believers. God now commands all people to repent for he has set a Time when he will judge the world through Jesus (1618422703_8 ). The Time for repentance, however, is growing shorter (Revelation 2:21 ; 10:6 ). ...
The End-Times. The end-time period surrounding Jesus' second coming is variously called the last Times, last hour, last days, day of the Lord, day of judgment, day of Gods wrath, Time of punishment, end of the ages, end of all things. ...
The start of the end-times takes two forms in the New Testament. Here the messianic age is equivalent to the end-times. It is a Time of great salvation as well as of mounting evil growing to unprecedented proportions as the parousia nears. Because of the unique character of the end-times, it also has an identity not entirely the same as the messianic age. But even here the Time periods partially overlap: the benefits derived from salvation in Christ promised to believers in the coming age (eternal life, perfect Christ-likeness, etc. ...
Time and Eternity. The Bible does not specify if or in what sense Time existed before creation or will exist after Jesus' return. Nor does it specify the relation between Time and eternity either as unending Time or Timelessness. ...
But how God and humanity relate to Time may parallel how Time differs from eternity. On the one hand, God is eternal, having no beginning or end (Psalm 102:25-27 ; Isaiah 40:28 ; Romans 1:20 ); he is Lord over Time. He is Timeless in the sense that as Creator and Lord he is non- or supratemporal, standing outside of or above Time (Psalm 90:2,4 ). Time is real for God. On the other, Time and humanity are immortal in the sense that both have a starting point and continue on indefinitely. Douglas Buckwalter...

Time - The general idea which Times gives in every thing to which it is applied, is that of limited duration. Thus we cannot say of the Deity that he exists in Time, because eternity, which he inhabits, is absolutely uniform, neither admitting limitation nor succession. Time is said to be redeemed or improved when it is properly filled up, or employed in the conscientious discharge of all the duties which devolve upon us, as it respects the Divine Being, ourselves, and our fellow-creatures. Time may be said to be lost when it is not devoted to some good, useful, or at least some innocent purpose; or when opportunities of improvement, business, or devotion, are neglected. Time is wasted by excessive sleep, unnecessary recreations, indolent habits, useless visits, idle reading, vain conversation, and all those actions which have no good end in them. We ought to improve the Time, when we consider, ...

Season - A — 1: καιρός (Strong's #2540 — Noun Masculine — kairos — kahee-ros' ) primarily, "due measure, fitness, proportion," is used in the NT to signify "a season, a Time, a period" possessed of certain characteristics, frequently rendered "time" or "times;" in the following the RV substitutes "season" for the AV "time," thus distinguishing the meaning from chronos (see No. , "its;" AV, "in due Times"); in the preceding clause chronos is used. , Revelation 12:12 ; the fulfillment of prophecy, Luke 1:20 ; Acts 3:19 ; 1 Peter 1:11 ; a Time suitable for a purpose, Luke 4:13 , lit. See ALWAYS , Note, OPPORTUNITY , Time , WHILE. words beginning with "chron," denotes "a space of Time," whether long or short: (a) it implies duration, whether longer, e. , Acts 1:21 , "(all the) Time;" Acts 13:18 ; 20:18 , RV, "(all the) Time" (AV, "at all seasons"); or shorter, e. , Luke 4:5 ; (b) it sometimes refers to the date of an occurrence, whether past, e. ...
Broadly speaking, chronos expresses the duration of a period, kairos stresses it as marked by certain features; thus in Acts 1:7 , "the Father has set within His own authority" both the Times (chronos), the lengths of the periods, and the "seasons" (kairos), epochs characterized by certain events; in 1 Thessalonians 5:1 , "times" refers to the length of the interval before the Parousia takes place (the presence of Christ with the saints when He comes to receive them to Himself at the Rapture), and to the length of Time the Parousia will occupy; "seasons" refers to the special features of the period before, during, and after the Parousia. Sometimes the distinction between the two words is not sharply defined as, e. , in 2 Timothy 4:6 , though even here the Apostle's "departure" signalizes the Time (kairos). Chronos is rendered "season" in Acts 19:22 , AV (RV, "a while"); 20:18 (RV, "all the Time," see above); Revelation 6:11 , AV (RV, "time"); so Revelation 20:3 . In Luke 23:8 it is used with hikanos in the plural, RV, "(of a long) Time," more lit. , "(for a sufficient number) of Times. ), an important rendering for the understanding of the passage (the word being akin to chronizo, "to take Time, to linger, delay," Matthew 24:48 ; Luke 12:45 ). See DELAY , B, Note,..., Time , WHILE. See TEMPORAL , Time , WHILE

Day of the Lord - The Time when God reveals His sovereignty over human powers and human existence. The day of the Lord rests on the Hebrew term, yom , “day,” the fifth most frequent noun used in the Old Testament and one used with a variety of meanings: Time of daylight from sunrise to sunset (Genesis 1:14 ; Genesis 3:8 ; Genesis 8:22 ; Amos 5:8 ); 24 -hour period (Genesis 1:5 ; Numbers 7:12 ,Numbers 7:12,7:18 ; Haggai 1:15 ); a general expression for “time” without specific limits (Genesis 2:4 ; Psalm 102:3 ; Isaiah 7:17 ); the period of a specific event (Isaiah 9:3 ; Jeremiah 32:31 ; Ezekiel 1:28 ). The “day of the Lord” then does not give a precise Time period. It may mean either the daylight hours, the 24-hour day, or a general Time period, perhaps characterized by a special event. Zechariah 14:7 even points to a Time when all Time is daylight, night with its darkness having vanished. ...
“Day of the Lord” does not in itself designate the Time perspective of the event, whether it is past, present, or future. The day of the Lord is thus a point in Time in which God displays His sovereign initiative to reveal His control of history, of Time, of His people, and of all people. ...
People who take a dispensational perspective on Scripture often seek to interpret each of the terms differently, so that the “day of Christ” is a day of blessing equated with the rapture, whereas the day of God is an inclusive term for all the events of end Time (2 Peter 3:12 ). In this view the day of the Lord includes the great tribulation, the following judgment on the nations, and the Time of worldwide blessing under the rule of the Messiah. ...
Many Bible students who do not take a dispensational viewpoint interpret the several expressions in the New Testament to refer to one major event: the end Time when Christ returns for the final judgment and establishes His eternal kingdom

Eternity - This is largely because the only kind of existence they have so far experienced is that of a world where everything happens within a framework of Time and distance that can be measured. Human beings lives in a created order of which Time is a part (Hebrews 1:2). Even the words they use to speak of eternity come from a world governed by Time. This was a word that denoted a length of Time, without specifying its beginning or end. The writers used the word in relation to things that were very old or that would last for a very long Time (Psalms 24:7; Psalms 125:1; Habakkuk 3:6; Romans 16:25). Concerning the past, the word could mean ‘a long Time ago’ (Joshua 24:2; Luke 1:70); concerning the future, it could mean ‘endlessness’ (Daniel 2:44; 2 Peter 1:11). When they referred to immeasurable Time, the writers may have used such expressions as ‘to all ages’ or ‘from age to age’, which have been translated as ‘from everlasting to everlasting’ and ‘for ever and ever’ (Nehemiah 9:5; Psalms 21:4; Romans 1:25; Ephesians 3:21; Judges 1:25). Likewise eternity is not Time stretched out for ever, but is something of an entirely different order. God is not limited by Time, and therefore he sees Time differently from the way human beings see it (2 Peter 3:8). The rod has a beginning and an end, and represents Time. Time). Human beings, who live in Time, might be likened to an ant moving along the rod. God, from the viewpoint of eternity, sees the whole of Time as eternally present before him. (See also Time

Earthquake - (Zechariah 14:5 ) From (Zechariah 14:4 ) we are led to infer that a great convulsion took place at this Time in the Mount of Olives, the mountain being split so as to leave a valley between its summit. An earthquake occurred at the Time of our Saviour's crucifixion.

Calendar, Gregorian - The Church's calendar depends on the calendar in use at the present Time, which is known as the Gregorian, from Pope Gregory XIII, by whose decree it was brought to its present form. As the length of the year depends on the Time of the earth's journey around the sun, and as that journey is not completed in exactly 365 days, Julius Cresar made each fourth year a "leap year" by inserting an additional day in February. In Pope Gregory's Time, 1582, it amounted to 10 days; he therefore dropped these from the calendar and ordered that the leap year should be observed in the year 1600, but not in 1700,1800, and 1900, and that thereafter century years would be leap years only when they are divisible by 400. Protestant countries for a Time refused to use the Gregorian Calendar

Week - There can be no doubt about the great antiquity of measuring Time by a period of seven days. (Genesis 8:10 ; 29:27 ) The origin of this division of Time is a matter which has given birth to much speculation. That the week rests on a theological ground may be cheerfully acknowledged by both sides; but nothing is determined by such acknowledgment as to the original cause of adopting this division of Time. So far from the week being a division of Time without ground in nature, there was much to recommend its adoption. It is clear that if not in Paul's Time, yet very soon after, the whole Roman world had adopted the hebdomadal division
Fasting - However, this verse indicates that there was a revelation given to Daniel as a result of this Time of fasting. Fasting is the laying aside of food for a period of Time when the believer is seeking to know God in a deeper experience. Fasting relates to a Time of confession (Psalm 69:10 ). Fasting can be a Time of seeking a deeper prayer experience and drawing near to God in prevailing prayer (Ezra 8:23 ; Joel 2:12 ). When the early church wanted to know the mind of God, there was a Time of prayer and fasting
Heaven: to be Shut Out of at Last - On one occasion the burden of the Lord pressed upon his servant with more than ordinary severity, and anxious to deliver it and clear his soul, he detained his hearers a little beyond the Time, and consequently had to hurry to the chapel. He called to him, quickening his pace at the same Time, but his cry was not heard, the attendant retreated inside and the minister came up 'just in Time' to see the door put to, and rear it fastened from within. The circumstance made an impression upon him at the Time which he could never afterwards forget, and he was led to ask himself the question, 'Shall it be so at the last? Shall I come up to the gate of heaven only in Time to be too late, to find the last ransomed one admitted, and the door everlastingly shut?' ...

During this Time Rome had systematically conquered Galilee, Perea and Judea

Year - A — 1: ἔτος (Strong's #2094 — Noun Neuter — etos — et'-os ) is used (a) to mark a point of Time at or from which events take place, e. , Luke 3:1 (dates were frequently reckoned from the Time when a monarch began to reign); in Galatians 3:17 the Time of the giving of the Law is stated as 430 "years" after the covenant of promise given to Abraham; there is no real discrepancy between this and Exodus 12:40 ; the Apostle is not concerned with the exact duration of the interval; it certainly was not less than 430 "years;" the point of the argument is that the period was very considerable; Galatians 1:18 ; 2:1 mark events in Paul's life; as to the former the point is that three "years" elapsed before he saw any of the Apostles; in Galatians 2:1 the 14 "years" may date either from his conversion or from his visit to Peter mentioned in Galatians 1:18 ; the latter seems the more natural (for a full discussion of the subject see Notes on Galatians by Hogg and Vine, pp. ); (b) to mark a space of Time, e. , Matthew 9:20 ; Luke 12:19 ; 13:11 ; John 2:20 ; Acts 7:6 , where the 400 "years" mark not merely the Time that Israel was in bondage in Egypt, but the Time that they sojourned or were strangers there (the RV puts a comma after the word "evil"); the Genevan Version renders Genesis 15:13 "thy posterity shall inhabit a strange land for 400 years;" Hebrews 3:17 ; Revelation 20:2-7 ; (c) to date an event from one's birth, e. ...
A — 2: ἐνιαυτός (Strong's #1763 — Noun Masculine — eniautos — en-ee-ow-tos' ) originally "a cycle of Time," is used (a) of a particular Time marked by an event, e. , Luke 4:19 ; John 11:49,51 ; 18:13 ; Galatians 4:10 ; Revelation 9:15 ; (b) to mark a space of Time, Acts 11:26 ; 18:11 ; James 4:13 ; 5:17 ; (c) of that which takes place every year, Hebrews 9:7 ; with kata Time (2) - TIME. The word ‘time’ is used in the Gospels in a variety of phrases more or less indefinite. Probably the most definite expression is ἐν στιγμῇ χρόνου, ‘in a moment of Time’ (Luke 4:5). χρόνος is used of Time in general (Luke 1:57; Luke 8:27, Mark 9:21, John 5:6), passing or having passed. More definite is ἀπὸ τότε, ‘from that Time’ (Matthew 4:17; Matthew 16:21, Luke 16:16), and ἕως τοῦ νῦν, ‘until now’ (Matthew 24:21 Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 , Mark 13:19). (1) It is used to indicate the Time of certain events in the ministry of Jesus (Matthew 11:25; Matthew 12:1; Matthew 14:1). (2) In a special sense we have the remarkable passage John 7:6; John 7:8 ‘My Time is not yet come, but your Time is always ready,’ where the contrast is used apparently to emphasize the peculiar character of Jesus’ mission and the hostility which it aroused in Jerusalem. (3) Most important is the use of καιρός to indicate the dawn of a new epoch—πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρός, ‘the Time is fulfilled’ (cf. In a similar sense of world-period or era we have καιροὶ ἐθνῶν, ‘the Times of the Gentiles’ (Luke 21:24; but cf. Various methods of reckoning Time were in existence at the beginning of the Christian era, and this fact makes it extremely difficult to locate events with any certainty. The Time of day was reckoned at the outset mainly by physical considerations, temperature, etc. ...
The division of Time into weeks was probably of Babylonian origin, and would be suggested by the moon’s phases, although there is no trace of this influence either in OT or NT. ...
Of the larger divisions of Time, the month, so familiar in OT Times, is hardly mentioned in the NT (Luke 1:26; Luke 1:36, John 4:25). But as this fell so far short of the full solar year, difficulty would naturally arise in celebrating feasts at the same Time in each year. This continued until some Time after the Christian era, when a more perfect system, a cycle of nineteen years with seven months intercalated—the invention of an astronomer of Athens named Meton—was adopted. It seems unlikely that the Jews had any fixed chronological calendar in the Time of Christ, but this is disputed (see Wieseler, Chronol. For it was possible for a writer in NT Times to employ various systems of reckoning, and it was also possible to employ any one system in various ways. Further, the year began at a different Time in different countries, e. These and other considerations render it almost impossible to give the precise date of any event even in NT Times (see art. Luke may have dated his reign from the Time when he assumed tribunician power the second Time

The year used by the Hebrews from the Time of the exodus may: be said to have been then instituted, since a current month, Abib, on the 14th day of which the first Passover was kept, was then made the first month of the year. Probably the Hebrews determined their new year's day by the observation of heliacal or other star-risings or settings known to mark the right Time of the solar year. It follows, from the determination of the proper new moon of the first month, whether by observation of a stellar phenomenon or of the forwardness of the crops, that the method of intercalation can only have been that in use after the captivity, --the addition of a thirteenth month whenever the twelfth ended too long before the equinox for the offering of the first-fruits to be made at the Time fixed. It has been supposed that the institution at the Time of the exodus was a change of commencement, not the introduction of a new year, and that thenceforward the year had two beginnings, respectively at about the vernal and the autumnal equinox. " The former properly means the Time of cutting fruits, the latter that, of gathering fruits; they are therefore originally rather summer and autumn than summer and winter

Month - A space or period of Time constituting a division of the year. Month originally signified the Time of one revolution of the moon, a lunation, or the period from one change or conjunction of the moon with the sun to another, a period of 27 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes and 5 seconds. But we also apply the term to the space of Time in which the sun passes through one sign, or a twelfth part of the zodiac
Hour - Such a mode of dividing Time was not originally employed among the Hebrews. In our Lord's Time, the day, that is, the space between sunrise and sunset, was commonly distributed into twelve hours, John 11:9; these, therefore, varied in length according to the season of the year. In Acts 23:23 the hours of the night were reckoned from sunset; consequently the Time named would nearly correspond with our 9 p

Ethelhard - He was elected to the see at a Time when Offa, King of the Mercians, was attempting to weaken Canterbury's influence and had succeeded in securing the pallium for the incumbent of the See of Lichfield.

Pul - He came into the land of Israel in the Time of Manahem, king of the ten tribes, 2 Kings 15:19 , &c, and invaded the kingdom on the other side of Jordan.

Ever, Everlasting - ‛Ôlâm (עֹלָם, Strong's #5769), “eternity; remotest Time; perpetuity. It appears about 440 Times in biblical Hebrew and in all periods. 3:11 we read that God had bound man to Time and given him the capacity to live “above Time” (i. , to remember yesterday, plan for tomorrow, and consider abstract principles); yet He has not given him divine knowledge: “He hath made every thing beautiful in his Time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. ”...
Second, the word signifies “remotest Time” or “remote Time. 16:36, God is described as blessed “from everlasting to everlasting” (KJV, “for ever and ever”), or from the most distant past Time to the most distant future Time. In other passages, the word means “from (in) olden Times”: “… Mighty men which were of old, men of renown” ( Time”: “I have long Time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself. …” This word may include all the Time between the ancient beginning and the present: “The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied …” ( Times.

Lectures, Morning - The occasion of these lectures seems to be this: During the troublesome Time of Charles I. most of the citizens having some near relation or friend in the army of the earl of Essex, so many bills were sent up to the pulpit every Lord's Day for their preservation, that the minister had neither Time to read them, nor to recommend their cases to God in prayer; it was, therefore, agreed by some London divines to separate an hour for this purpose every morning, one half to be spent in prayer, and the other in a suitable exhortation to the people. It appears that these lectures were held every morning for one month only; and from the preface to the volume, dated 1689, the Time was afterwards contracted to a fortnight. It was kept up long afterwards at several places in the summer, a week at each place; but latterly the Time was exchanged for the evening

Time - The conception of Time. -In all ages and among all peoples the idea of Time tends to be expressed in the figure of a continually and evenly running stream. Time comes into being (διαγενομένου, Acts 27:9, ‘spent,’ lit. ‘sufficient’ (ἱκανὸς χρόνος, Luke 8:27; Luke 23:8, Acts 8:11; ἡμέραι ἱκαναί, Acts 9:23; Acts 9:43; Acts 18:18; ἱκανῶν ἐτῶν, Romans 15:23) as applied in measuring Time is an expression of indefiniteness. The adequacy of the measure of Time for the maturing of a definite plan is given in the idea of ‘fullness. ’ Time accumulates as if in a reservoir and becomes sufficient for its end (πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου, Galatians 4:4; cf. Naturally the flow of Time involves succession and order as between first and last. But all Time future to any particular moment may be from the view of it at that moment ‘last. The period just preceding this consummation was especially designated ‘the last Times’ (ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν χρόνων, 1 Peter 1:21; ἐσχάτη ἡμέρα, John 6:39-40; John 11:24; ἔσχαται ἡμέραι, Acts 2:17, 2 Timothy 3:1, James 5:3; 2 Peter 3:3; ἐσχάτη ὥρα, 1 John 2:18). ...
The relativity of length of Time to the mind is indicated in the conception that to God’s mind human measures and standards of Time have no inherent reality (‘One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day,’ 2 Peter 3:8). The notion shows a trace of philosophical influence in the thinking which culminates in the apocalyptical conception of the transiency of Time and its contrast with eternity (‘There shall be Time no longer,’ Revelation 10:6). -Time from the point of view of its special content or relation to a definite event or events is specifically denoted by the term καιρός (generally, ‘definite Time’). The term is more nearly synonymous with ‘season’ when it designates a Time (the Time during the year) for the appearance of certain events ([2] τοῦ θερισμοῦ, Matthew 13:30; καιρὸς σύκων, Mark 11:13 : cf. More generally καιρός is any division of Time which differs from all others by some characteristic, as, for instance, that it ought to be observed as more sacred (μῆνας καὶ καιρούς, Galatians 4:10); to be watched against because of the evil influences which it brings (καιροὶ χαλεποί, 2 Timothy 3:1); chosen by God for special revelation of His word (Luke 3:1-2,); a period when certain special events develop, distinguished by the moral character of the Gentiles (καιροὶ ἐθνῶν, Luke 21:24); events have their own Time (Luke 1:20), persons may have their own Time for the full display of their peculiar character or the accomplishment of their work (e. the Time of Jesus, ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐμός, ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ὑμέτερος, John 7:6; John 7:8). The term καιρός thus differs from χρόνος in designating ‘opportune’ or ‘fit’ Time, a Time associated with, and therefore distinguished by, some special event or feature. In the phrase πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρός (Mark 1:15) the more appropriate term would have been χρόνος, but since the intention of the writer is to show not the lapse of mere Time, but the appearance of a new era, the word used expresses the idea more accurately. -The largest measure of Time known is the ‘age’ (αἰών, ‘aeon’). It so far transcends thought that it impresses the mind with the mystery of the whole notion of Time. Hence the combination ‘eternal Times’ (Romans 16:25) stretching back into the inconceivably remote past (practically the equivalent of the modern philosophical ‘species of eternity’). In the first the emphasis is laid on the mysterious aspect of Time without measure and apart from all known conditions. The series taken together constitutes all Time (‘All the ages,’ Revised Version margin, εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας, Judges 1:25). On one side it helped to define the older prophetic ‘latter days’ (as a distinct period when ideal conditions would prevail); at the same Time it gave a background to the doctrine of the ‘Day of Jehovah. In the Apocrypha, which may be regarded as the fair index of usage at the Time, the Seleucid Era is frequently referred to. Intercalation was common all over the world, but the method of intercalating was different at different Times, and probably not constant anywhere for any consecutive period of Time. The month accordingly began with the appearance of the moon in its first phase, and ended with its reappearance in the same phase the next Time. Within the New Testament months are mentioned generally, not with precise reference to their relations to one another in the calendar, but as an indication and a measure of Time in the terms of the fraction of a year (Luke 1:24; Luke 1:36; Luke 1:56). The predominance at different Times of different influences (Roman, Macedonian, Egyptian, older Jewish) brought into use different names. -A popular and practically useful method of reckoning Time within the year is that which relates events to well-known religious festivals. But in the allusion to the Feast of Dedication (ἐνκαίνια, John 10:22) the intention perhaps was not so much to give the exact Time as to account for Jesus’ walking ‘in the temple in Solomon’s porch. In John 5:1 the purpose of the author would be defeated if he had meant to fix the Time of the action (cf. -Though peculiar to the Jewish people, the constitution of a unit of Time by grouping together seven days was retained in the usage of the Christian Church. Paul’s custom to use the Sabbath day as the Time for preaching (Acts 18:4), correctly translated ‘three Sabbath days. Sometimes it was designated simply as the ‘eve of the Sabbath’ (προσάββατον, Judith 8:6, Mark 15:42); but in the NT oftener as the ‘Preparation [6]’ [παρασκευή, Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:14; John 19:42). This it became later as it was taken up by Christian usage, and persists to the present Time as the proper name of Friday in modern Greek. Since that custom prevails to the present Time among the Jews it is not likely that it was ever superseded among them. Of the night-day unit the day is the Time for work (John 11:9) and the night is divided into four military watches of three hours each (Matthew 14:25; Matthew 24:43, Mark 6:48, Luke 12:38)
Merari - , under David (1 Chronicles 15:1-6; 1 Chronicles 23:5-6; 1 Chronicles 23:21-23; 1 Chronicles 26:10; 1 Chronicles 26:19); in Nehemiah's Time also (Nehemiah 11:15-16). Hervey (Smith's Dictionary) supposes Jeduthun the patronymic title of the house, Ethan the head in David's Time, and that Jeduthnn was brother of an ancestor of Ethan before Hashabiah (1 Chronicles 6:45; 1 Chronicles 25:3; 1 Chronicles 25:19) and son of Hilkiah or Amaziah. Thus, the "sons of Ethan" are distinct from "sons of Jeduthun," and the difficulty is explained how in David's Time there could be sons of "sons of Jeduthun" above 30 years of age for they filled offices (1 Chronicles 26:10; 1 Chronicles 16:38), at the same Time that Jeduthun is said to be" chief of the singers
Fort, Fortification - From this Time until the Roman Period (the Time of Christ), cities were almost always surrounded by walls. In the Time of Solomon, however, well-dressed ashlars (carefully trimmed limestone blocks) began to be used in the construction of unique fortification systems. Similar, but smaller four-chambered gates were used later in the Time of Ahab and Jeroboam II, attached to offsets-insets solid walls. A glacis was sometimes built against the outside wall for added protection against the battering ram. A glacis was a sloping embankment of beaten earth, clay, gravel and stones, sometimes covered with plaster
Seventy Weeks - The Time spoken of in Daniel 9:24-27 , usually understood as seventy weeks of years or 490 years. The 49 years are associated with rebuilding Jerusalem in “times of trouble” (Daniel 9:25 NIV). The 434 years relate to the intervening Time before a cutting off of the Anointed One ( Daniel 9:26 ). At that Time, sacrifices under the Old Covenant ceased. ...
The dispensational approach makes the 70 weeks a prophetic framework for end Time events, rather than a prophecy of what took place in the work of Christ at His first coming
Hour (Figurative) - The present Time of trial is like the dark and gloomy night, but ‘salvation’ draws nigh; already, therefore, it is ‘the hour to awake out of sleep. ), and may be defined as the fixed Time, in distinction from καιρός, the fit Time (‘the boast of heraldry, the pomp of power … await alike th’ inevitable hour’). This is defined (Revelation 13:14-17) as a Time of seduction to the worship of the Beast (the Imperial cult); but in 1 John 2:18 the sign of this ‘last hour’ is already seen in the rise of Antichrist, yea, of ‘many antichrists,’ i

A particular period of Time, as distinguished from others as, the golden age, the age of iron, the age of heroes or of chivalry

Undivided Church - What it aimed to do wasto retain its ancient heritage, but at the same Time to free theold Church from certain grave abuses, to purify the old religionfrom many harmful superstitions which had sprung up during theMiddle Ages. " In all the work ofReformation, covering a long period of Time, the appeal wasconstantly made to the primitive standards of the Undivided Church;to Holy Scripture as interpreted by the teaching and customs of thePrimitive Church, the writings of the Fathers and the decisionsof the General Councils. The reasonableness of this appeal will appearwhen we consider that it is this early age of Christianity, the agenearest to the Time of the Apostles, which best preserved thepersonal instructions of the Twelve, which was most likely to be inaccord with the Will of our Lord and which maintained the Church'sunity unimpaired. It was during this Time, because the Church wasone and undivided, that the Canon of Scripture was established,that it was possible to hold the Ecumenical Councils which defined"the Faith once delivered to the Saints," and gave us the Creeds asthe "Rule of Faith

Congregation - ” It occurs 149 Times in the Old Testament, most frequently in the Book of Numbers. ...
The most frequent reference is to the “congregation of Israel” (9 Times), “the congregation of the sons of Israel” (26 Times), “the congregation” (24 Times), or “all of the congregation” (30 Times). ” The noun mô‛êd appears in the Old Testament 223 Times, of which 160 Times are in the Pentateuch. The historical books are next in the frequency of usage (27 Times). ...
The word mô‛êd keeps its basic meaning of “appointed,” but varies as to what is agreed upon or appointed according to the context: the Time, the place, or the meeting itself. The usage of the verb in Amos 3:3 is illuminating: “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Whether they have agreed on a Time or a place of meeting, or on the meeting itself, is ambiguous. First, the festivals came to be known as the “appointed Times” or the set feasts. ...
In both meanings of mô‛êd—“fixed Time” and “fixed place”—a common denominator is the “meeting” of two or more parties at a certain place and Time—hence the usage of mô‛êd as “meeting. ” However, in view of the similarity in meaning between “appointed place” or “appointed Time” and “meeting,” translators have a real difficulty in giving a proper translation in each context. 1:15) could be read: “He has called an appointed Time against me” (NASB) or “He summoned an army against me” (NIV). The phrase occurs 139 Times— mainly in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers, rarely in Deuteronomy. The fact that the tent was called the “tent of meeting” signifies that Israel’s God was among His people and that He was to be approached at a certain Time and place that were “fixed” (ya’ad) in the Pentateuch. ...
Of the three meanings, the appointed “time” is most basic. ” The “meeting” itself is generally associated with “time” or “place. ”...
The Septuagint has the following translations of mô‛êd: kairos (timew), eortel (“feast; festival”). The English translators give these senses: “congregation” (KJV, RSV, NASB, NIV); “appointed Time” (NASB); “appointed feast” (RSV, NASB); “set Time” (RSV, NASB, NIV)

Wedding Guests, Bridegroom And the - The parable was provoked by the question of the disciples of John the Baptist and some of the scribes and Pharisees asking "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?" Jesus replies in a similitude, asking if the companions of the bridal-chamber, whose special task it was to provide for the merrymaking at the feast, could be expected at the same Time to mourn and fast. The disciples of the Baptist are reminded that their master had referred to Christ as the Bridegroom, and all the questioners are taught that the Time of the visible presence of Jesus among His disciples should be for them a Time of rejoicing and not of mourning and fasting; but when His visible presence is withdrawn, then they shall lament and be made sorrowful and then fasting and mourning shall be consistently their portion. Some explain it tropologically: as long as the Spouse is with us we are not able to mourn; but when by sin He departs then is the Time for tears and fasting. This parable does stand against the spirit of the Pharisees who esteemed too highly external works and it shows to all that a new Time had come and another spirit reigned in the Kingdom

Ancient of Days - ANCIENT OF DAYS occurs 3 Times in Daniel ( Daniel 7:9 ; Daniel 7:13 ; Daniel 7:22 ) as a title of God in His capacity as Judge of the world. The picture is no doubt suggested by the contrast between the Eternal God ( Psalms 55:19 ) and the new-fangled deities which were from Time to Time introduced ( Judges 5:8 , Deuteronomy 32:17 ), rather than, as Hippolytus (quoted by Behrmann, Das Buch Daniel , p. In the troublous Times which are represented by the Book of Daniel, it was at once a comfort and a warning to remember that above the fleeting phases of life there sat One who remained eternally the same ( Psalms 90:1-3 ; Psalms 102:24-27 ). At the same Time it is worth remembering that the phrase in itself has no mystical significance, but, by an idiom common in Hebrew as in other languages, is merely a paraphrase for ‘an old man
Italy - This word varied in sense from Time to Time. It first signified only the Southern (the Greek) part of the peninsula; later it included all the country south of the Lombard plain; and finally, before the Time of Christ, it had come to bear the meaning which it has now
Freedom of Worship - But such freedom of worship is not unlimited, and the most tolerant gov- ernments have from "time to Time suppressed practises indulged in under the name of religion. It is difficult for us now to see the justification of such measures, but it is probably true that at one Time in Europe to have had any large number of Protestants in a Catholic country, or vice versa, would have endangered the civilpeace
Luke - He accompanied him to Philippi, but did not there share his imprisonment, nor did he accompany him further after his release in his missionary journey at this Time (Acts 17:1 ). On Paul's third visit to Philippi (20:5,6) we again meet with Luke, who probably had spent all the intervening Time in that city, a period of seven or eight years. From this Time Luke was Paul's constant companion during his journey to Jerusalem ((20:6-21:18)

Tempest - tempestas tempus, Time, season. The primary sense of tempus, Time, is a falling, or that which falls, comes or happens, from some verb which signifies to fall or come suddenly, or rather to drive, to rush. Time is properly a coming, a season, that which presents itself, or is present
Worship, Freedom of - But such freedom of worship is not unlimited, and the most tolerant gov- ernments have from "time to Time suppressed practises indulged in under the name of religion. It is difficult for us now to see the justification of such measures, but it is probably true that at one Time in Europe to have had any large number of Protestants in a Catholic country, or vice versa, would have endangered the civilpeace
Day - The artificial day is the Time of the sun's continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. ...
The word day is also often put for an indeterminate period, for the Time of Christ's coming in the flesh, and of his second coming to judgment, Isaiah 2:12 Ezekiel 13:5 John 11:24 1 Thessalonians 5:2 . The prophetic "day" usually is to be understood as one year, and the prophetic "year" or "time" as 360 days, Ezekiel 4:6
Ben-ha'Dad - , King of Damascus, which in his Time was supreme in Syria. Some Time after the death of Ahab, Benhadad renewed the war with Israel, attacked Samaria a second Time, and pressed the siege so closely that there was a terrible famine in the city
Fig Tree - Something like this may be alluded to by the Prophet Hosea, when he says, ‘I saw your fathers as בכורה , the first ripe, in the fig tree, at her first Time,' Hosea 9:10 . The whole difficulty arises from the circumstance of his disappointment in not finding fruit on the tree, when it is expressly said, that "the Time of figs was not yet. " While it was supposed that this expression signified, that the Time for such trees to bring forth fruit was not yet come, it looked very unaccountable that Christ should reckon a tree barren, though it had leaves, and curse it as such, when he knew that the Time of bearing figs was not come; and that he should come to seek figs on this tree, when he knew that figs were not used to be ripe so soon in the year. But the expression does not signify the Time of the coming forth of figs, but the Time of the gathering in of ripe figs, as is plain from the parallel expressions. Thus, "the Time of the fruit,"...
Matthew 21:34 , most plainly signifies the Time of gathering in ripe fruits, since the servants were sent to receive those fruits for their master's use. Luke express the same by the word Time, or season: "At the season he sent a servant," &c; that is, at the season or Time of gathering in ripe fruit, Mark 12:2 ; Luke 20:10 . In like manner, if any one should say in our language, the season of fruit, the season of apples, the season of figs, every one would understand him to speak of the season or Time of gathering in these fruits. Mark says, that "the Time or season of figs was not yet," he evidently means that the Time of gathering ripe figs was not yet past; and, if so, it was natural to expect figs upon all those trees that were not barren; whereas, after the Time of gathering figs, no one would expect to find them on a fig tree, and its having none then would be no sign of barrenness. Mark, by saying, "For the Time of figs was not yet," does not design to give a reason for "his finding nothing but leaves;" but he gives a reason for what he said in the clause before: "He came, if haply he might find any thereon;" and it was a good reason for our Saviour's coming and seeking figs on the tree, because the Time for their being gathered was not come
Time - Time . The conception that we seem to gather of Time from the Holy Scriptures is of a small block, as it were, cut out of boundless eternity. And this ‘block’ of Time is infinitesimally small. Time has a beginning; it has also, if we accept the usual translation of Revelation 10:6 ‘there shall be Time no longer,’ a stated end. The word ‘time’ in Biblical apocalyptic literature has another meaning ‘time’ stands for ‘a year’ both in Daniel ( Daniel 4:16 ; Genesis 6:1-222 ; Daniel 4:25 ; Daniel 4:32 ; Daniel 7:25 , where the plural ‘times’ seems to stand for two years) and in Revelation 12:14 (derived from Daniel 7:25 ). ...
When once the idea of Time formed itself in the human mind, subdivisions of it would follow as a matter of course. The division between light and darkness, the rising, the zenith, and the setting of the sun and the moon, together with the phases of the latter, and the varying position of the most notable stars in the firmament, would all suggest modes of reckoning Time, to say nothing of the circuit of the seasons as indicated by the growth and development of the fruits of the field and agricultural operations. Hence we find in Genesis 1:1-31 day and night as the first division of Time, and, because light was believed to be a later creation than matter, one whole day is said to be made up of evening and morning; and the day is reckoned, as it still is by the Jews and, in principle, by the Church in her ecclesiastical feasts, from one disappearance of the sun to the next, the divisions between day and night being formed by that appearance and disappearance. The day would thus be an obvious division of Time for intelligent beings to make from the very earliest ages. As Time went on, subdivisions of this day would be made, derived from an observance of the sun in the heavens morning , noonday or midday, and evening ; and, by analogy, there would be a midnight . The only other expression we meet with is ‘between the two evenings’ ( Exodus 12:6 ), used most probably for the Time between sunset and dark, though others take it as equivalent to ‘the Time of the going down of the sun,’ i. any Time in the afternoon: any shorter subdivisions of Time were not known to the Jews till they were brought into contact with Western civilization and the Roman military arrangements. The only other measure of Time, quite indefinite and infinitesimal, is the ‘moment,’ common to OT, Apocr. The Hebrew word meaning literally ‘the day before yesterday,’ is generally used vaguely of previous Time, ‘heretofore. ’...
The next obvious division of Time would be the month . ’ Though the actual period of each moon is rather more than 29 days, the actual Time of its visibility could scarcely be more than 28 days. We find, in fact, that a keen lookout was kept for it, and the ‘new moon’ feast was kept with great rejoicings, as well as, apparently in later Times, a ‘full moon’ feast (‘Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day,’ Psalms 81:3 ). The seventh year completed a week of years and was a sabbath; seven Times seven years formed seven sabbaths of years, i. ’...
Whilst these various divisions of Time were being arrived at, there would be, concurrently with them, the obvious recurrence of the seasons in their due order. One of the promises represented as having been made by God to Noah immediately after the Flood was that seedtime ( i. This is the earliest Time in the world’s history to which a knowledge of the seasons is attributed in the Bible. ]'>[2] the word ‘spring,’ to mean that season, occurs only in Wis 2:7 , and ‘autumn’ not at all, though the word translated ‘winter’ in Amos 3:15 , Jeremiah 36:22 , might equally be rendered ‘autumn,’ as the Time referred to is the border Time between autumn and winter. It would in due course be noticed that the seasons recurred practically after a series of twelve moons or months; hence would come in the division of Time into years of twelve lunar months. A year of 360 days is implied in the history of the Flood ( 1618422703_83 ; Genesis 7:1-24 ; Genesis 8:1-22 ), but no satisfactory explanation has yet been given of the scheme of years and chronology in the genealogical account of antediluvian Times ( Mark 15:42 ). Abib (Exodus 13:4 ), the month of the green ears of corn, about the same as our April, called in post-exilic Times, in correspondence with its Bab. This month has no Biblical name, but was called in later Times Tammuz, after the god of that name, in whose honour a fast was kept during the month, which is mentioned in Zechariah 8:19 as ‘the fast of the fourth month. Ethanim (1 Kings 8:2 ), the month of constant flowings, in later Times called Tishri. ...
Though at first all the months seem to have been reckoned of equal length, in later Times they contained 30 and 29 days alternately. 430 years is the Time assigned to the sojourning in Egypt, both in OT and NT (Exodus 12:40 , Galatians 3:17 ), and the commencement of the building of Solomon’s Temple is dated 480 years after the Exodus. In later Times the years were reckoned by the names of those who filled the office of high priest; in Luke 3:1 f. , we have a careful combination of names of various offices held by various persons at the Time of the commencement of the preaching of John the Baptist, to indicate the date. ...
Of instruments to measure Time we hear of only one, the sun-dial of Ahaz ( 2 Kings 20:9-11 , Isaiah 38:8 ), but what shape or form this took we do not know

Mule - They are not mentioned, however, till the Time of David, for the word rendered "mules" (RSV correctly, "hot springs") in Genesis 36:24 (yemim) properly denotes the warm springs of Callirhoe, on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. Perhaps they had by that Time ceased to be used in Palestine

Merchant - " In the East, in ancient Times, merchants travelled about with their merchandise from place to place (Genesis 37:25 ; Job 6:18 ), and carried on their trade mainly by bartering (Genesis 37:28 ; 39:1 ). After the Hebrews became settled in Palestine they began to engage in commercial pursuits, which gradually expanded (49:13; Deuteronomy 33:18 ; Judges 5:17 ), till in the Time of Solomon they are found in the chief marts of the world (1 Kings 9:26 ; 10:11,26,28 ; 22:48 ; 2 Chronicles 1:16 ; 9:10,21 ). After Solomon's Time their trade with foreign nations began to decline

Bag - The money collected in the temple in the Time of Joash, for its reparation, seems, in like manner, to have been told up in bags of equal value; and these were probably delivered sealed to those who paid the workmen, 2 Kings 12:10 .

Hour - An appointed Time for meeting or for religious festival, a brief moment of Time, one twelfth of the day or of the night, and in the Gospel of John the significant period of Jesus' saving mission on earth from His triumphal entry until His death and resurrection. ...
Biblical Hebrew has no word for hour, only an expression for an appointed meeting Time (1 Samuel 9:24 RSV). The New Testament term hora can refer to a general Time of day, a “late hour” ( Matthew 14:15 NRSV), to a brief moment of Time ( Revelation 18:17 ; compare John 5:35 ), or to the Time of an expected momentous event (Matthew 8:13 ; Mark 13:11 ). It also designates a period of Time, somewhat flexible in duration, one twelfth of the daylight hours and one twelfth of the night, a day being divided into the two periods (or watches) of light and darkness beginning at sunrise, making the seventh hour (John 6:39-40,67 ) about one p. ”...
In His conversation with the woman at Sychar (John 4:1-42 ) Jesus referred again to a coming “hour” (John 4:21 ,John 4:21,4:23 ), a Time when Jerusalem and Gerizim, the holy sites of Jews and Samaritans, respectively, would lose their significance, for worship—would be “in Spirit and truth. This is the first Time the reader has been asked to understand Jesus' “hour” in terms of death. Jesus' brothers challenged Him to make a public appearance in Jerusalem, but He refused because His “time [1] is not yet at hand” (John 7:6 ). After some “Greeks” sought an audience with Him, Jesus announced for the first Time, “The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified” (John 12:23 ). He then interpreted this “hour” as the Time of his being “lifted up” in death (John 12:32-34 ; compare John 3:14-15 ). Without trivializing the reality of Jesus' suffering and death, the Gospel of John presents that event as the “hour” of Jesus' “glory,” the Time of His “exaltation/lifting up. ” See Glory ; John ; Time
Decapolis - ” A group of Greek cities referred to in Matthew 4:25 ; Mark 5:20 ; Mark 7:31 , originally ten in number but including more cities at a later Time. Thus the number varied from Time to Time. They were established after the Time of Alexander the Great and were predominantly Greek in culture and influence
Harvest - Crops that had been planted were harvested at various Times. Significant events were connected with harvest Times (Exodus 34:18-20 ; Deuteronomy 16:13-16 ; Joshua 3:15 ; 1 Samuel 16:13 ). Harvest Time became the occasion for joyful festivals (Exodus 34:22 ; Isaiah 9:3 ). The “time of harvest” sometimes represented the day of destruction (Jeremiah 51:33 ; Joel 3:13 ). “The harvest is past” meant the appointed Time was gone (Jeremiah 8:20 ). The rhythm of harvest Time (sowing and reaping) provided an illustration of a spiritual truth (Galatians 6:7-8 )
This - This is a definitive, or definitive adjective, denoting something that is present or near in place or Time, or something just mentioned.
