Theological Branch: Kairology

Topic: Time from a Greek Perspective.


Our Savior taught us how to respond when the time of kairos comes upon our spiritual recognition at the beginning of End Times.
“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not by and by.” (Luke 21:8‐9) 
We are promised times of kairos when we need refreshing from the terrible times that involve our natural lives…
Matthew 26:18
- And He said, Go into the city unto a certain man and tell him the Teacher says, The time of Me near is; with you I will keep the Passover, with the disciples of Me.’
This is how the Greek text would loquaciously convey the verse above orally.

 *’The time of Me near is…'*

 This is the Greek understanding of God in time. This verse would lead the God-man to the cross. As much as He taught us to take heed the time…He himself did regard the time and prepared himself for His own Kairological moment.
*Mark 13:33 Take heed; watch; not you know for when the time is*
One thing is certain, the Scriptures make a distinction between the “temporal” and the “eternal.” Paul says that the things that are seen are “temporal” but the things not seen are “eternal” (2 Cor. 4:18). In describing God, the psalmist declares: “. . . from everlasting to everlasting, you are God . . .” (Psa. 90:2). Yet, in the same context, of man it is said: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten . . .” (v. 10). “Time” clearly does not relate to God and man in the same way…. Therefore as People let us Redeem the time(kairos), because the days are evil. Eph 5:16 KJV.

Theological Branch: Kairology

Topic: *Time from a Greek Perspective. Part 1.* Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the *times of refreshing* shall come from the presence of the Lord;” (Acts 3:19) The ancient Greeks had two words for marking the differences between the experiences of time: kronos and kairos. "As usual, the Greeks were ahead of us in thinking and speaking about such conundrums. Where we use one word to describe a whole range of things, they had the good sense to use different words to mark distinctions in reality and in experience. “Kronos (or Chronos in the English spelling, from which we take our word chronology) is sequential time. Kronos is the time of clocks and calendars; it can be quantified and measured. Kronos is linear, moving inexorably out of the determinate past toward the determined future, and has no freedom.  Kairos is numinous time. Kairos is a time of festivals and fantasies; it cannot be controlled or possessed. Kairos is circular

The week has been mostly describes as the creation of Jewish theology. However it is undeniable that the Sabbath day has been kept in the memories of the people through the Hebrew economy. Outside the Hebrew society it is the Germanic Tribes in Europe that had a seven day cycle, probably derived from the Helenestic culture through Alexandria  the capital city of the sciences in the 4th century BC. The Genesis account states the following with regards to the creation of the solar system: Gen 1:14-19 KJV 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the he
