The account of Moses and Elijah speaking with the Lord up on the "Mt. of Transfiguration" comes to mind. Surely Moses, dead and not yet resurrected, experienced time there. But Moses was also on the earth at the time; we don't know much of what it's like in paradise or hell, and Gregory made a good point. What is also interesting--Elijah never actually died, which raises all kinds of questions.<BR/><BR/>But I think it's safe to say that the dead do not experience time in the way we do. We are bound to the rhythm of sleep/wake, night/day, the four seasons and so forth. I'm not sure the dead experience time in this way. At least that goes for the intermediate state. In the eternal state, we know that while there will be no night, there will be months and seasons of <I>some</I> kind (Rev 21:25,22:2).Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450472942375369907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936770117485626171.post-55559516532498269852008-09-24T10:44:00.000-05:002008-09-24T10:44:00.000-05:00If there is no sense of time in death, wouldn't th...If there is no sense of time in death, wouldn't that mean that people in Hell would experience dying and then immediately being judged before Christ?<BR/><BR/>Hey, when I die, I'm going to Aslan's Country.
