I would like to ask a question to all who would like to answer. How many people on this site think that time is going much faster now than it used too? Thank you and God Bless.
My understanding. Time is constant our perception of it is not, it changes as we age. There are different explanations for why, like the percentage of our life is less ahead than behind, our mind receives fewer images, and more. I am in my 70s and I can say that time now is far faster than when I was younger.
My grandmother who was born in the 1800s and lived to be 103 said in laughter when she was 100 she could dose off and awake a year older. If you are getting older your perception of it will change. We can do things that will help like change routines, and reflect on things we see, read, and other things. Also, look at the progression of the world, The world is getting smaller every day.
The only thing I have found in the Bible that time may have changed is in Isaiah 38:8. If you look at history, calendars around the world changed around that time. If you do the math 10 degrees is the difference between 365.24 and 360-day-year. The Babylonian numerical system was 6 and 60-based, the number we still use to divide the sky: 360 degrees in a circle. Many other things are based on 360 like measurements, angles, sums, etc.
Some think it will change back before the end due to the times in Revelation. I don't know about that.
Ronald thank you for your response and for that information. As far as us getting older being the cause for this happening, I don't think that's the case here as many of those I have spoken to about this are much younger than I am. Many people from many different age groups are telling me the same thing, ages of people in their 20s to ages of people in to their 80s are all saying the same thing. Time is speeding up and seems to be going faster and faster every day. Only God could have control of this! I really do appreciate your comment on this Ronald. God Bless you.
Hi Jimbob. I'm assuming that your question is connected with the subjects that you're presently in discussion with others, i.e. of an eschatological nature. I doubt if you're querying the speed of the Earth's rotation & orbit around the sun, which if so, would also have catastrophic results on all living - maybe not unlike some of the characteristics of the Great Tribulation.
Unfortunately, my perspective of the world's events is based only upon the duration of my life that is shared in both these centuries. And yes, they seem to be occurring more often, more intense, & with greater human spiritual & moral depravity. But then again, the world today is far more advanced in acquiring & disseminating information on the condition of people & govts in other countries & the condition of the natural world (e.g. cyclones, earthquakes, etc.). So, I often wonder whether it would be right to base my judgement on what I've seen & heard thus far & not take into account what our fathers, grandfathers, & those before them also experienced. They too might have thought that Jesus' Coming was nigh, or at least that we're on the cusp of the outpouring of God's Wrath (depending on which camp they were in). And then again, I would have to factor in that some days, many days, are much busier than others. When as a single man, my life went on at a much slower regulated pace, but with a wife who loves to travel & have more interactions with folk than I could want or handle on my own, the days do seem to move along at a good clip. And yes, one third of the year has already gone by; so to use the oft-quoted exclamation, "where has this year gone?"
Chris Thank you for responding. I was really just curious to see if this is happening with everybody, and every where. As I said in one of my comments before everybody I know or have talked to about this have said the same thing, that they do think time is going much faster now and it seems to be getting faster every day. This would have to be connected somehow to the End-time prophecies if it is truly happening, as only God Almighty could control such a thing. As for myself and many others that I know including many pastors, it is truly happening. I do see this as a sign, and also as a proof from God that we are living the Lastdays. Thank you again Chris. God Bless you.
Free Thank you for your response. I have not heard anyone say this until probably the last few years. But it really does seem to be getting faster and faster everyday now. I am just trying to see if everyone is experiencing the same thing. Thanks again Free. Love and Blessings to you.

Why am I not entirely sure.
But others certainly have answers. Nice end-time question.
Love you in Christ. Ephesians 3 chapter.
