The Days Of One Eternitieth
Godstream Radio Scripture Reflection: The Days of One Eternitieth
Inspired by The Book of Mysteries by Jonathan Cahn
In a thought-provoking dialogue inspired by Jonathan Cahn's The Book of Mysteries, we are invited to consider the profound nature of our time on earth through the lens of eternity. The question posed is simple yet revolutionary: How valuable is your life? The answer lies in understanding the rarity of our earthly moments when viewed against the backdrop of eternity.
The Rarity of Life in the Light of Eternity
The conversation begins with a teacher asking whether common or rare things hold greater value. Naturally, we tend to value what is rare. But as the dialogue unfolds, the teacher guides us to see the true rarity of our earthly existence: when measured against eternity, our earthly life becomes a fleeting moment—once in eternity.
Imagine a lifespan of 100 years. When compared to a thousand-year span, our life is just 1/10 of that time; compared to a million years, it shrinks to 1/10,000. But when eternity is considered—an endless, unbeginning, unending existence—our lifetime is but a single moment, a once-in-eternity occurrence.
The Infinite Value of Our Time
This realization elevates the value of each moment, for every single second on earth is a unique, one-in-eternity moment. Every breath, every decision, every act of kindness or love is infinitely precious. Our lives are not just fleeting; they are eternal opportunities to make a difference.
Living with Eternal Perspective
The conclusion is clear: because our earthly moments are so rare and precious in the scope of eternity, we should live with intentionality. Make every moment count. Do good now. Love now. Forgive now. Because once this moment passes, it will never come again—it's a once-in-eternity moment.
The Mission: Seize the Moment
Our mission is to treat each day as if it only comes around once in eternity. To live in awareness of the infinite value of every moment, and to act accordingly.
Scriptural Reflection
To deepen this understanding, consider these scriptures:
Psalm 90:10-12**
"The days of our life are seventy years, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom."
— This passage reminds us of life's brevity and the importance of wise stewardship of our time.
Romans 13:11-14**
"Wake up, for salvation is nearer now than when we first believed... Let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light."
— An encouragement to live consciously and actively in the light of eternity.
2 Corinthians 6:1-2**
"Now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
— Urging us to seize the present moment for good and divine purposes.
Ephesians 5:16**
"Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil."
— A call to maximize our time with purpose and discernment.
Final Reflection
As we meditate on the concept that every moment is of infinite value, let us be inspired to live intentionally. Recognize that our earthly journey is a fleeting but precious opportunity—a once in eternity opportunity. Live each day with gratitude, purpose, and love, knowing that what we do now echoes into eternity.
Remember: You shall not pass this way again.
Seize the moment, cherish every second, and live as if eternity depends on it—because it does.

THE DAYS OF ONE ETERNITIETH

Which is more valuable, asked the teacher, that which is common or that which is rare,
that which is rare. I REPLIED.
and which is more valuable, that which is rare, or that which is extremely rare,
that which is extremely rare. I said,
How valuable is this life? He asked, How valuable is your time on Earth?
I don't know. I said.
Is it rare or is it common? He asked.
I would say it's common as it's what everybody has, and it's made up of countless moments every day and every year.
So then it wouldn't be especially valuable, he said, Now let's say your time on Earth is 100 years, but time goes on for 1000 years. Your time on earth becomes rare 1/10 of time. And what happens after a million years have gone by? How long was your time on earth?
One 1,000th.
One 1,000th of time, one in 10,000 very rare. Now, what happens when we consider eternity? What happens to your time on Earth in light of eternity? It becomes once in eternity. So your life on earth becomes one eternity, he said, How rare is that?
Very I answered.
infinitely rare. He said, so. how valuable is your time on earth
Of infinite value!
That's correct, Your days on earth come around only once in an eternity, only once. Every moment you have comes around only once in an eternity, and never again. Every moment is a once in eternity, a one in eternitieth moment.
Therefore, every moment is of infinite value, infinitely priceless, then how must you live?
Appreciating every moment, I said
Therefore, make the most of every moment, for it will never come again. Whatever good you would do, do it now. Treat every moment as if it was infinitely rare and of infinite value, because it is for every moment, and your life itself comes around only once in an eternity.
The mission: whatever good you would do, do it now. Treat this day as if it comes around only once in an eternity, because it does.
