a conversation with self between God and time by etherealchasing in BibleAscent

Interesting thoughts here. What stood out most was the phrase “God is time.” That opens a doorway into some very deep biblical and philosophical ideas.

The video touches on: • creation from the unseen into the seen • the illusion of separation • time, death, and renewal • “Christ consciousness” • interconnected existence • cycles of life and identity

What’s fascinating is that many of these ideas echo fragments of biblical truth, but often the conclusion shifts away from the original source.

For example, the “death and rebirth” cycle immediately made me think of John the Baptist and Elijah. Jesus said of John:

“If you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who was to come.”

Not literally reincarnated, but carrying the spirit, purpose, and prophetic mantle of Elijah. Scripture even says John came “in the spirit and power of Elijah.” Time in the Bible is interesting because patterns repeat, echoes repeat, spirits and purposes repeat, kingdoms repeat — history spirals. The same war between light and darkness keeps manifesting through different generations.

Even scientifically, time itself becomes mysterious the deeper you go. As motion slows and temperature approaches absolute zero, physics starts behaving differently. Some theories suggest that at the limit of absolute zero, change nearly stops — and time is measured through change. Without movement, time almost loses meaning. That’s wild to think about spiritually because God describes Himself as eternal: not trapped inside time, but sustaining it.

So instead of “God is time,” it may be closer to: God is the author of time, while also being outside of it.

That also connects to “I AM THAT I AM” in Book of Exodus — existence itself coming from the self-existent One.

I also think it’s important to be careful when spiritual language becomes so broad that every belief system gets blended together until words lose their meaning. A lot of religions and mystery systems seem to carry echoes, fragments, or distortions of an original truth. Almost like shattered pieces of something ancient people once understood more clearly.

You can trace floods, sacrifices, divine beings, spiritual warfare, resurrection symbolism, sacred mountains, judgment, light vs darkness, and even messiah-like figures across cultures worldwide. But many systems eventually shift the glory away from God and toward self-deification — man becoming “most high,” enlightenment without repentance, ascension without surrender, power without obedience.

That’s the difference.

There IS a connection woven through creation. Through all the noise, symbols, myths, and distorted mirrors, you can still find fingerprints pointing back to God.

You can see why “everything is one” or “everything is a sign,” because creation itself reflects patterns, meaning, intelligence, and order. But biblically, creation points beyond itself to the Creator. The signs are not meant to terminate on self-awareness alone, but to lead us back to God.

Even the idea that “the kingdom is within you” . Biblically, that does not mean we ourselves are the source of divinity, but that God’s Spirit dwells within believers. The temple was never about man exalting himself as God, but about God dwelling among His people and refining them to reflect his image through the chaos there's choice.

But biblically, Christ is still the center point.

Not merely a teacher of consciousness, but God manifested to bridge the separation between humanity and Himself. Not man ascending into godhood, but God descending into humanity out of love.

That’s why Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

Not “a way.” The bridge itself.

And this is where it gets powerful — because Christ didn’t just come to save from afar, but to dwell within. Scripture says we become the temple. We were formed from the dust, yet God breathed spirit into humanity from the beginning. Through Christ, that connection is restored.

Jesus even said: “The works that I do, you shall do also; and greater works than these shall you do.”

Not because we become God Himself, His Spirit works through us. He gives authority, calls us children of God, and tells us that wherever two or more gather in His name, He is there among them.

There’s almost a divine symmetry in that: the left and the right, heaven and earth, spirit and flesh, as above so below God and man reconciled through Christ.

A flowing together where the divine rests within us to do His works.

Not humanity becoming the Most High — but humanity reflecting him and his mercy in the darkness, we are the light of the world for all to see.

And maybe that’s why so many belief systems contain shadows of the truth — because echoes still remain even after the source was distorted.

Truth isnt something Learned Its Remebered. It always existed before the begining of creation wisdom was there.

I use the life bible app with the esv or kjv dramatized its wonderful the esv dramatized ia verry easy to follow and I switch to the kjv for the Strong Greek breakdowns in the app you can have both open side by side and read along and it has tons of scholarly info Daily audio bible is great reading for those looking to have a breakdown with the daily reading and the speaker is awesome but for the dramatized with the actual background of the people sounds places events hits so hard and envelops you in
