Understanding The Time | Understanding Times and Seasons .....Part 1
32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
Having the understanding of time is a only a virtue, asset and priviledge that God gives to His Children. Having this understanding can seperate those who die and those who live, those who succeed and those who fail. It was this understanding that seperated Noah from the men of his generation.
Times and seasons are known only to God, and He will give this understanding to those who He chooses, His Children. It is not enough to have understanding of the times but also to know what to do, and what not to do. The best combination understands the time and what we ought to do (Issachar Generation).
It is one thing to know what to do and it is another thing entirely to know when to do it. Sometimes good vision, plans and great ideas fail because of wrong timing, therefore timing is very important to the fulfillment of visions.
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Habakkuk 2 vs 2-3
Everything started from writing down the vision, to reading and also to running with the vision. But between reading and running there is a place of understanding of the vision without which you cannot run with it, you can only run with a vision that you understan. That is why the scripture says "make it plain upon the tables", this simply means having full understanding of what we received.
Understanding therefore means having great insight and knowledge about something and understanding what? How? and where? and When?. A matter can never be understood until the above questions are answered most especially the "when" that had everything to do with timing. A valid vision has with it element of time.
That's the much we can take on the topic today.
See You next time.
This is a subject that fascinates man, the human being wants to know what is going on tomorrow, and in his desperation to take care of the divination to be "attentive" to what will happen without understanding that he has fallen into a trap, I believe in The gift of genuine prophecy that the Lord Jesus Christ brings to man as a ministry I have known man who owns it.
nice publication
Thanks for sharing with us again OS

There is saying that God's time is the best. God has aportion time for everything at its right time
I also understand that God is a God of times and seasons, making everything fall in place in due time. Great read
It is often great importance that we understand that things move at various paces and everyone is on a different compass. We must be patient when things aren't favouring us and not relent when they do.
True time is indeed of essence in everything. And thats why an important philosophy i havr lived with and that has helped alot is * Every Minute Counts*
The bible speaking in Gen 1; reflects the orderliness of how God did everything in a timely pattern. And we always hear...thr morning and the evening marked such day tbats because a certain time frame had been achieved. See also Ecc 3; thr popular poem on time. So like you rightly pointed and i corroborate with this saying; knowing is not enough, doing and 'doing timely' is more important.
Cheers.
Still Elisedaniels...Love for the Gospel.
