Einstein had an inkling of divine time and I really believe there is time in eternity: which sounds like a total contradiction.
Okay, unlike the eternal dimension, time as we know it has a defined beginning and end, although Einstein regarded space-time as bent, non-linear. Well that is partly to my point. Space-time is bent by massive bodies like black holes, just as our moments in the life of God are shortened or lengthened by the greatness of His presence in our lives: He gives new life and purpose to the elderly and wisdom to the youth, He extends time in His presence but shortens our seasons of crisis and pain.
But time, as Einstein observed is also relative, just as heavenly time is. For time in heaven relates to event horisons, the endless moments within moments that mark the beginning, end and duration of divine seasons. The grand event is the restoration of all things, within which falls earth time, within which falls history, within which falls our own times and seasons.
Each event has a unique and general perspective, depending on the relative position of the observer: events are uniquely experienced by individuals but beome part of the tapesty that describes God's greater work in the hearts of humankind.
