Time is very much a human concept. We are reminded that with "the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years a day" (Psalm 90:4). We may operate on Eastern Standard Time or Greenwich Mean Time, but God works on eternal time. Sooner or later, our earthly time will come to an end. But, God does not work according to human timetables.
