The Funnel Of Time

Bob Neumann

Let us begin by explaining that the Bible is not a “religious” book. While many religions, sects, and cults use it in some way or other, it was not meant to be so. First, it is a Message from the Eternal Creator God to mankind. Man was created for a purpose. He did not evolve. Nor was he “planted” on earth by an outside agency for some obscure reason. In essence it describes the on going activity between the Creator and the people of earth that He created in his Image.

The Bible specifically documents the names and places where God specifically interacted with man. Both on an individual level, and a national level. The Bible is a historical document. Second, it is the blueprint of the Eternal Kingdom. It defines the rules of, and by which, man is called to live. To do so God gives a point of reference and a general yardstick, His Nature. As He explains His Nature we are shown His character and His mode of operation. Not only does He tell us what He said or did, historically. But we are given the information of how He did what He did, but also the why it was done. Third, it is the foretelling of what is to come throughout the historical past and into the soon approaching future. Because of the dynamics of God’s relationship with His creation, He speaks of what will happen.

Quite literally all that has happened, is taking place, and will occur are because of who God is and what he has set in motion. All three above points are kept short and simple. They may each seem too general or non-specific to many who are reading this. Time and space limit what can be expounded. So let us go to the third point, today. The Bible is prophetic, speaking of what will be as often as what has been. In fact most of what God has done points to what will occur soon.

Imagine please, a structure of two simple geometric shapes. The cylinder and the cone . The cylinder sits atop the cone. Connect the two and remove the point of the cone. You now have a funnel, simple? A strange funnel, no doubt, but by nature a funnel. This is the funnel of time. Not an hourglass, but a funnel. We presently sit at the top of the sand, so to speak. The sand, time itself, flows out the bottom as a steady, continuous, unchanging rate. But at the top nothing seems to change. The sheer sides of the cylinder looks unchanged. Our movement is almost imperceptible. For thousands of years, we at the top could have sat without any sense of movement or activity. Then suddenly the cylinder meets the funnel and our perception changes.

The walls begin to close in. The “surface” is constantly changing. “Suddenly” we are in free fall as the last of the sand passes out of the funnel. Only the flow of time stayed constant. What was “changing” was our perception as all that was around us conformed to the shape of the funnel and the constant pull of gravity. We were just “along for the ride” so to speak. Oblivious to the “funnel”, and to the “sand”, until we are caught in the vortex – what I call the storm.

All the events that are occurring throughout the world seem to be falling upon each other because the sides are now coming together. No longer does a newspaper, magazine, or news desk need to look for stories that can be headlined. In fact death, mayhem, and tragedy are so common they are culled for the most compelling and most graphic.

Whether the story “sells” is more important than the statement of fact. You say I stretching the point, you tell me. For months the trial of a demi-hero, ex jock, bad actor holds international attention. So much so that the residents of the Florida pan handle were inadequately informed that a hurricane was bearing down on them. Two people are murdered, tragedy, yes. Failure to warn of a tragedy about to happen to many tens of thousands, is much more so. For that reason this information is being presented to any who will take notice. Once you do so, our job has been done. Our account is not lacking.
