What time is it? – The significance of past, present & future in God’s revelation of Himself & His salvation plan

This may be a controversial piece but I hope it will bring a more Biblical understanding of the significance of time in God’s dealings with us. It could be controversial because we live in an ‘instant’ age where we must have everything now, whereas God says ‘wait’; it is probably controversial because we often have an unbiblical view that God is ‘outside of time’ whereas time is ‘within God’; and it may also be controversial because we are not sure of the relationship between ‘time’ and ‘eternity’.
