Was To Is

Revelation 4:8 (NIV)

8Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."

“...was, and is, and is to come”. Have you ever waited for a long train to pass, and it was seemingly endless? The engine was long past out of sight and the end was no where to be seen, but the train was still present.

It makes me think of God. He is outside our notion of time. He inhabits all three points of our time reference simultaneously. He is eternally present.

When we place our trust in Him we are transported from was to is. We are eternally present with Him. Now that is traveling in time and we can do it now!
