Time existed long before humans learned to measure it. Early people experienced time through natural cycles—sunrise, seasons, growth, migration—before turning those patterns into numbers. Calendars and clocks helped civilizations coordinate life, eventually transforming time from an experience into a measurement. Today we schedule, budget, and worry about time constantly. But scripture suggests God experiences time differently, raising the possibility that Heaven may have no clocks at all. Without timekeeping, eternity might not be endless hours but existence without measurement. On Earth, we count our days. In Heaven, perhaps we simply live them.
