=== Times and Seasons (01:36) ===

[00:00:00]  What's the difference between times and the seasons?
[00:00:05]  Okay, so there is, there's actually different kinds of time.
[00:00:09]  And so, you know, like just like we understand that there's past, present, and future time, right?
[00:00:14]  There's also redeemed and non-redeemed time.
[00:00:17]  And in redeemed time, you're gaining everything because the kingdom is coming.
[00:00:22]  But in non-redeemed time, you're losing everything.
[00:00:26]  But there's another kind of time, and the Bible describes two specific kinds of times as times and seasons.
[00:00:32]  And you can find this in Ecclesiastes chapter 3, and it lists 28 of those, Pastor Jim.
[00:00:38]  There's 28 of those times in Ecclesiastes chapter 3.
[00:00:41]  And by the way, the number 28 is a number that represents times and seasons all the way through the Word of God.
[00:00:47]  And I have a whole chapter on that in one of my books that's on numbers.
[00:00:50]  But if you go all the way through the Word of God and you see that God stamps the number 28 on something, it tends to represent times and seasons.
[00:00:59]  Times is like a timeline.
[00:01:01]  It has a beginning and it has an end, and it's always around some kind of epic event.
[00:01:07]  But seasons or Moedims, as the Hebrew word is for it, are cyclical and they're circles.
[00:01:14]  So one is a line, times, and the other one is a circle.
[00:01:19]  Now, the reason why it's a circle is because it's just like four seasons.
[00:01:23]  It's meant to be predictable.
[00:01:25]  If I'm in summer, I know that fall is coming.
[00:01:27]  And if I'm in fall, I know that winter is coming and so on.
[00:01:30]  But a timeline is not like that.
[00:01:32]  A timeline is centered around a specific epic event and the purposes that God wants to fulfill within it.
