Reality can be defined as the comprehension of the inherent order of existence according to God's divine understanding, which encompasses the entirety of time, from inception to conclusion. Sin, however, disrupts this natural order, resulting in a convoluted interplay of secondary causes. Consequently, both the initial disruption and the subsequent attempts to restore order contribute to a state of confusion. It is within this context that human systems emerge, with the intention of rectifying the disorder, yet paradoxically generating further disarray. It is this perpetual cycle of opposing forces that ultimately gives rise to the manifestation of psychological disorders, known as neuroses, which these human systems were initially designed to alleviate.
The scriptures suggest that humans are merely temporary inhabitants of this world, navigating through a time sequence that is increasingly unfamiliar and bewildering as corruption continues to spread. Man has a tendency to sow confusion, driven by both corrupt actions and flawed reasoning. This flawed reasoning leads man to view events in isolated time increments, a concept known as process theology, wherein man falsely believes he is the orchestrator of cultural progress. However, in reality, man often unknowingly contributes to the chaos that he seeks to resolve. To counteract this, we must turn to God, who orchestrates all things according to His divine purpose, even in the midst of the metaphysical confusion caused by human actions and intentions. Ultimately, reality rebounds and creates further confusion within the process, emphasizing the importance of aligning with God's order to navigate through the chaos. When considering the intricate effects of events within the human system, it becomes evident that the earth can appear as a realm of chaos. This is why God is perceived as existing in heaven while humans reside on earth, as God is eternal and humans are finite beings. God possesses the ability to see both the beginning and end of all things, a perspective that contrasts with the limited view of time held by humans, tribes, and nations. In God's design of the universe, He brings order out of the disorder that arises from human actions and designs.
This is why it is necessary for God to intervene in human endeavors, as humans are inherently focused on secular matters. They only consider physical aspects and fail to recognize the personal relationships between individuals. The presence of sin and death has obscured their ability to perceive the universe on a personal level. To truly perceive the universe in this way, we must acknowledge that God has predetermined all events. God is the ultimate source of truth, serving not only as a teacher but as the embodiment of truth itself. We acknowledge God's existence as He has always been and will always be, transcending the constraints of time. Just as God exists, so does every aspect of existence within the realm of time.
Human beings are spiritually deceased due to their sins and transgressions. They have experienced a spiritual demise, and the only source of true life is found in God. Essentially, mankind is alive in a physical sense but spiritually dead. It is crucial to note that I am not referring to the concept of being consumed by worms. God has graciously provided us with this book to enable us to comprehend that eternity is depicted in a manner distinct from our notion of time. This understanding prompts us to contemplate eternal matters, facilitating our ability to establish order in our temporal existence. In His divine promise, God pledges to grant us wisdom through these daily insights into eternity.
