TIME, an ENIGMA

Time, an Enigma is a philosophical and religious exploration of the nature of time from a Christian perspective. It argues that God existed before matter, energy, space, and time, and that time was created as part of God's design to help humanity measure events and existence. The author combines biblical passages with historical and scientific discussions, including the development of timekeeping devices, the work of figures such as Eratosthenes, and modern atomic clocks. Throughout, the text maintains that time is not an independent force but a framework established by God within creation, and that human life is bounded by time's limitations.

The central message is spiritual rather than scientific. The author contends that because human life is finite and every moment is irreversible, people should use their time wisely, prepare for eternity, and pursue a relationship with God rather than worldly success, wealth, or fame. The Word repeatedly emphasizes biblical teachings about mortality, destiny, salvation, and the coming eternal kingdom, arguing that earthly life serves as a preparation for eternity. Ultimately, the book presents time as both a practical reality and a spiritual reminder that individuals must decide how they will live before their allotted time comes to an end.
