How long is in a flash? How long is a moment? How is in a blink of an eye? The time that elapses in a moment can’t be quantified. It’s to fast to measure or how to measure it. Yet in that moment is a lifetime. Years ago at church, I shook a man’s hand. The moment I touched his hand, God showed his complete life. I saw when his was a child up unto the present. It was so fast and so intense, it shook me to the core. I wasn’t ready, but the gift of knowledge was working in me.

That gift still works in me. I see many things. Most people don’t believe until I tell them something from their past with varying accuracy. But people are always surprised when I tell them. Then they ask how I knew. That’s when I absolutely know that God said it. I tell them that God told me. That gift of knowledge is used in the work of the kingdom.

Getting back to in a blink of an eye. God talks about this very thing in the bible. In 2 Corinthians 6:2 it says, “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” Now is this moment in time. God says that it is the accepted time. Now is in a blink of an eye. That is how fast it comes and goes.

There is another scripture.

1 Corinthians 15:52 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

This scripture talks about when Jesus will return to earth and call away his family. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, how fast is that going to be? Will you have time to ask God to forgive you? Will you be able even to perceive it? Will it happen so fast that you will be left holding your bag of sin?

God wrote the bible to give us a head’s up about what He is going to do on this earth. And with that head’s up, we can plan for eternity. Have you figured out what you are going to do? Nobody know the time that Jesus will return to earth. So this is your heads up about the future.
