    Q&A "Season"

    Q:"How does the time relates to the season for which the lives of the four beasts were prolonged?

    A: In Daniel's vision the four beasts coming up diverse from one another owe to "the four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,". They are as much under the command as the four angels "which are bound in the great river Euphrates./And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men."(Re.9:14-15;7:1; Dan.7:2,12)

    The Law sets judgment and the books were opened' so there is only "now" that any man in his Son could be ensured from harm according to the everlasting covenant. "Now is the day of salvation established the day decreed for him guarantees their safety. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." The word of God has therefore how the two worlds framed by the word of God shall be completely reconciled. In these there is no place for disbelief since faith' the pure speech is the DNA of the family of God. For this reason Jesus would tell those who would seize him, "When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."( Luke 22:53). Similarly time is associated with the Son and when he was in Nazareth he read from the day's portion of reading, he fulfilled the word concerning him,"To preach the acceptable year of the Lord".( Luke 4:16-19)

    Knowledge of the holy is understanding which is written in every man. So inability to know the times is a proof that there is no place for the word of God in a disbeliever. "Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD."(Je.8:7). "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time," (Ep.5:15-17
