Time! What is it? Time is the measuring device that man uses to account for the passing of the seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years of our lives. As 2 Peter 3:8 says: But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. This ratio of 1:1000 shows us that God perceives time much more differently than we do. However, God is aware of what time means to us, and therefore when Adam, Eve, and the serpent sinned in the Garden of Eden, God gave all three of them a six thousand-year sentence. This sentence joined man and Satan at the hip, with man being subject to Satan, whose way of life is 180 degrees opposite from God's way of life.
Modern man is well aware that the six thousand years should be coming to a close shortly. The problem is that man lost track of time due to the ebb and flow of civilization, and the many different ways that man has used to count time.
Recognizing that the Bible is a good source of timeline information, man attempts to look into the future by going back to the past. To do so, he counts the years from the creation of Adam, then comes forward to the present time. To do this is using faulty logic that leads to a faulty conclusion. The result: Man still does not know when this sentence will come to an end!
Thanks to God and His wisdom, When Time Finally Runs Out reveals the day and hour when man first disobeyed God, and when the punishment began. Likewise, it also reveals the year, day, and hour when the six thousand-year punishment will be fulfilled.
In addition, the birth and death of Jesus is covered quite extensively because these times help us come to the conclusion in this book. While God has established a prohibition against us knowing the day and hour when Jesus the Christ will return, there is no such prohibition in knowing when the time of our sentence ends. This time is short-short enough that you will be amazed to learn when time finally runs out.
