Time, Tide, and Eternity Meet

Time Tide and Eternity brings us to the reality of life. We believe that time is on our side, even though the days slip by. Just like the Tides of the oceans and seas, everything is relentless in its pursuit of time. Meanwhile Eternity approaches for all living things. Also certain in this is the Lords Coming. He holds eternity in his hands. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end. The Apostle Paul wrote the Corinthians that “if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable”! Our hope lies beyond this life!

Time, Tide, and Eternity

“A Journey for those who look into the Whirlwind of these Last Days! Bearing the Cross in the War of Ages where Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World.”

“By God’s grace, we endure from faith to faith; day to day and pass by from trouble to endurance to an overcomer!”

“Heralding the Truth of God’s’ Word!”

Time Tide and Eternity

Lords Coming -St. Marher in 1225 is known for the phrase “Time waits for no man”! In a source from the UK, the phrase “Time and Tide wait for no man” is also attributed to St. Marher in 1225. The Saint is quoted as saying “And te tide and te time þat tu iboren were, schal beon iblescet.” That phrase “Time waits for no man” has become to be known as the proverb “Time and Tide wait for no man. In looking this up it also had sources from many places in the world, all of whom had their own “Time and Tide Quote”!  However, several sources had it listed as a German proverb. I heard this one from my German dad and grandfather who said it. Seeing that our family lived on Catalina Island and had a boat; it would make sense. It surprised me how many of my dad’s quotes were actual proverbs. The sayings have time and age with them.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward, they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

1st Cor 15: 19-26 context | Time Tide and Eternity

In addition, Time, Tide, and Eternity come together for people from all places. It doesn’t matter what age they lived in; life is short. Opportunity is even shorter. What you do, do quickly our Lord told Judas. Today we live in a world connected by computers on the internet, phones through satellite, and Radio of all sorts. No matter how well our technology is, Time is never conquered. The tide never stops. If your ship were to sail in the old days, it required a time when the Tide would come and then retreat out into the ocean where it came from. The Tides, seas, and waters are all created, established, and limited by the Eternal One. It was the LORD who spoke to Job demanding of him “Where were you Job” when I laid the foundations of earth? Further the Eternal One pressed the point “Who has laid the measures of it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Who shut up the sea with doors?”

Furthermore, this is all pointing to the temporal status of man and the everlasting nature of our LORD and God. In short, where were you Job when all the “morning stars sang together” in the beginning when I created them all? Where were you Job when “all the sons of God shouted for Joy” in the beginning of the foundations thereof? In the same way, Eternity is that avenue reserved for the Lord and those who are his. Eternity and this temporal life do not compare except the same God is both Lord and creator over all things.

It is here that the Apostle John writes of the Word. The Word is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the incarnate Word of God. He was in the beginning with God and the Word was God. All things were made by him, the Word. Nothing was made that was not made by him. It is here that through the coming of the Messiah we were given that ability to be redeemed. To receive him and to be given the power to become the Sons of God. The truth here is that the Word came to give us back the Eternal graces and favor of the Father by making a way for redemption and forgiveness. This way the temporal which we live in, one day will be given to the Eternal. All things will change. Among this will be the fact that death which comes to all men will be done away with. As will hell. Both death and hell which are constant reminders to us of how temporary all things are. It is to this end that all people must face both aspects of the death which comes to all men, for it is written that ‘all men must die and after this the judgment’. It is also written that the ‘soul that sinneth must die’ and this fact which ‘all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.’ The Son of God Yeshua, Jesus Christ, the Way the Truth and the Life, the Word; came to redeem us so that this death and the hell which exists are not a threat. If we believe and receive the Lord, we have no fear of death nor the hell that exists.

The WORD: All things were made by him, without him was not anything made that was made

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

John 1:1-3 | Time Tide and Eternity

It is also noted that this Word, the Son of God who came to redeem us made all things and here we find irony and absolute truth. The same one who made all things that were made; is the Word and the same one who would and did die on the cross for our sins. Yet the world did not know him. The world, its inhabitants owed all things to him; for he created all things. The world, its inhabitants also needed that redemption. Yet the Eternal Word, the Son of God; was not known by them. But despite this he came. This same thing is true today. The world was and is the Lords. He made it all, sustains it all, and will in the end bring all things to an end. In this end will be a beginning, a new heavens and earth; remade. For the curse will be no more as it was removed by the work of Calvary.

He was in the world, the world was made by him, the world knew him not!

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 1:10-13 | Time Tide and Eternity

Thus, the life that was manifested whom we know as Jesus ‘Yeshua’ Christ ‘the Messiah’ was seen, handled, looked upon, and had witnesses to his work and life. That Eternal one, our Lord was with the Father and then manifested and revealed to us this wonderful grace of redemption.

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

(1Jn 1:1-3) | Time Tide and Eternity

This redeeming fact through the cross by the Son of God’s vicarious death and resurrection is still presents conflict to many. The world does not know him. Oh yes, many know the name Jesus Christ or Yeshua. Many know of God. Many deny God. And still more live as though there is no God. This leads me to an example.

This example is a song and an artist. The words to a particular song go “if I could save time in a bottle, the first thing I’d like to do is to save every day till eternity passes away”! Would we not all like to save just one moment or day or month? To live longer and not grow old. Once you are born into this body, you begin to age and then with age you grow old and with your old state, you wither and die. Depressing as it is, death is welcomed by many. Jihadist’s murder and kill and rape in the honor of their Muslim god. They believe when they die as martyrs for the cause, then paradise will be theirs.  The truth is this is pure man-made doctrine and sheer nonsense. But don’t tell them! They will kill you if you do!

Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

Jeremiah 5: 21-25 context | above verses 21-22 | Time Tide and Eternity

The song Time in a Bottle was part of a three-record contract with ABC Records that made Jim Croce famous. He had worked hard along with his wife Ingrid. You can trace the early Croce work from the mid 1960’s which also heralded other folk artists like Arlo Guthrie [Alice’s Restaurant fame] and Joan Baez, among others. It is an irony that the three-record deal came in 1972 with his top hit of all time for the artist. It was Bad, Bad Leroy Brown. But the irony is that with all his demanding work over those many years, Time in a Bottle was the message for the decades.

🔥🔥👉 the lesson of Jim Croce is that talent and success don’t guarantee anything. Only in Jesus Christ does Eternity offer redemptive benefits and the kingdom of Heaven. If you could save time, yes; what would that mean? More time on earth and more time to achieve your goals and be happy.

☠🔥🔥 yet not long after his 1972 record deal and big hit; Jim Croce was killed in a plane crash September 20, 1973. Not even two years passed for Croce before he died. Not even two years of success and plenty were his before death came and time ended.

This is the irony. His song was a message all right. How many in the sixties and seventies listened? None of them. We lost many such talents to drugs, plane crashes, alcohol, and other deaths.

💀🔥🔥 the continuing irony of Croce’s death was the fact that Pilot error was attributed to the crash. If Jim had picked another pilot or plane, would he have lived?  Who knows? One thing is sure and certain eternity, death, and the time to meet it occurs for all humans.  The fact is in the bible and in your face. The only hope and means to survive this end are through Christ Jesus and his redemption.

“There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do.” Thus, it is Time, Tide, and Eternity to which always remind us that in the end, man is lost and his time on earth is temporary and he “never seems to have enough time”!

Moreover, Croce’s song Time in a Bottle | YOU can listen to Jim Croce sing Time in a Bottle here

History must teach the living a lesson. If we cannot learn from it, then humanity is doomed. Today in America that doom is nearing as values and immoral behavior pushed by Pride is destroying not on this society but those worldwide. As we look at this talented musician, we can appreciate his talent. Nevertheless, eternity caught up with Jim Croce who was born in 1943 and died in 1973.

Furthermore, my wife and I were married in 1973 and both of us knew of this song and many others. He died at the age of Thirty years plus. Ours was a generation of many singers, songwriters, and musicians that died young. We have been married for over four decades now and time has passed quickly. Our end-time ministry the Lord called us to is now passed two decades and moving forward. Here, I could give many examples of the point of this writing. The truth is, I do not worry about eternity nor death. When the Lord wants me home, he will call. Until then we work for him. But truly, if I had time in a bottle; there are moments I would put it there and savor them all my life. Since no such method exists, I simply remember the good times and the Lord who has blessed me and my family. It is his redemptive arm that has saved me and countless others. It is to Him I give Praise and Honor to for this Salvation to which has anointed me with Eternity’s blessings.

Time Tide and Eternity Points to He who creates all and judges all!

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

Job 26: 8-10 | Time Tide and Eternity

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:9-10 | Time Tide and Eternity

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
