You bring up a lot of good points, socks! Points the Bible addresses in Ecclesiates, such as: we CAN'T know everything, no matter how much we want to (Eccles. 8:17, everything is subject to time and chance (Eccles.9:11), and the whole duty of a human being is to humble himself before God and keep HIS commandments (not our own) (Eccles. 12:13). There's a Greek word translated "time" in the New Testament - kairos. It's not like chronos, which is the Greek equivalent for our concept of "time" Kairos means "a time of opportunity" or "the moment of decision". I think the Greeks meant by kairos what we mean by the word "synchronisity", the seeming significance that can be read into events that happen at the same time, often without apparent connection by cause and effect. That's how I think God and the Lord work in history. This thread has stirred me to think outside my usual ruts, and for that I thank you all! Love, Steve
