Festival of Time

In the Bible, every new month and every new year was a festival, a holy day consecrated to God, not to nature or human schemes. While pagans marked time by the sun and seasons, the Hebrews celebrated time as God’s sovereign gift, numbering years from creation, months from His deliverance, and days from His faithfulness. The Christian calendar continues this tradition: we date our history Anno Domini, “in the year of our Lord,” because time belongs to Jesus Christ, not to revolutions or five-year plans. The French and Russian Revolutions tried to seize control of time, only to fail miserably man cannot be god over the calendar. Yet the believer can joyfully greet each new day, month, season, or year with confidence, knowing time is not our enemy but God’s servant, unfolding His perfect purpose and frustrating every modern Tower of Babel. Time works for the godly and against the ungodly, for the Creator alone governs it. #FestivalOfTime #AnnoDomini #TimeBelongsToGod
