Re: How could mere man comprehend infinity?
The concept of "TIME" is a very interesting topic, but I don't think it can accurately be comprehended.
The book that might be described or summing up and EXPLAINING REALITY (the bible) can be thought of as describing 2 (TWO) TIMES/EPOCHS.
Jesus was sent to earth "as a plan for THE FULNESS OF TIME" (yes, the END OF TIME). He ended the age of time,....and also began the age of eternity).....He is the ETERNAL SABBATH OF ETERNAL GOD......
Deuteronomy 33:27 .....ETERNAL GOD...
Jesus "THE CHRIST" the lion of Judah became IMMANUEL the LAMB OF GOD (that's what the book of Revelation is all about ....the lion lays down with the lamb).
GOD transcends TIME (to us humans, TIME is an IMAGINARY? and SUPERNATURAL concept...I THINK).....or is it a psychological manifestation of our FINITE minds????

Now and then in my life, I wondered about Revelations 8:12 (about the "ONE THIRD" time differential) and it seems to be due to the calendars and the volcanic winter disasters of 536 a.d.......

…the time differential (“one third”) of Revelation 8:12 is likely the switch to the GREGORIAN calendar from the JULIAN…..(more extensive investigation is required by historians and chronologists).

......is "TIME" just a HUMAN PHILOSOPHY"???.....is ETERNAL GOD the proper understanding of reality?
Revelation 8:11 The name of the star is
Wormwood . A third of the waters became
Wormwood , and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.
Revelation 8:12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
There is much speculation that the word used in the next verse has been changed ("WORLD") and it originally said “AEON”.
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen
....(look up at Wikipedia and Biblehub MATTHEW 28:20).
