Time and the Bride of Christ
Quick to Listen features only brief selections from Greystone courses and events. Each episode provides a quick sample of the many topics explored at Greystone. Unlimited access to all of Greystone's full-course and event content, including the rest of what you will hear today, is available to all Greystone Members.
Continuing our consideration of time from the last episode, today's Quick to Listen explores time as it is an act of God. What if the Church began to understand time, not as something that happens to us, but as something intrinsically tied to God and the in-gathering of the elect? Understanding time as the gathering up of the bride of Christ from age to age for the purpose of the glory of the Son changes how we understand the Biblical concept of waiting, the virtue of patience, and a host of other concerns. Episode 12 of Quick to Listen is a brief selection from lecture 1.1 of Dr. Mark A. Garcia's module, The Order of Reality: Sacred Time.
