Let's settle once and for all this mystery of time
Let's settle once and for all this mystery of time. Time is recurrence, not linear. All events in time exist now. A simple illustration of this is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
This is Revelation 1:7. And every eye shall see Him. (This is the Second Coming.) Every eye including those who pierced him. How is that? Because those Roman dolts still live in their living time. (They are dead in sin in that living time, going round and round in recurrence; same life, same historical events. They may have developed their essential being, they may not have. They may have gone downhill. They may have been regenerated by the word and Spirit and resurrected to heaven.)
Birth and death meet for the unregenerate at Hades. Which is not hell fire. Hell fire is where the unregenerate are judged to after the Second Coming.
From Hades - the spiritual world, invisible to us - they are born back into their same life. That singular life each of us is stuck with is given warrant by the providence of God. Things can change in one's life, but that gets complicated; it's just important to know that providence decrees the date of birth and place and the types involved regarding family, status, etc.
All events that have occurred in time still exist. Just like the town the train goes by continues to exist even though it's no longer in sight.
When Christ comes He will come into all time and be seen by all under the sun, his Roman executioners as well as us here in the 21st century. Those transitioning at the time in Hades I'm sure will know and wail and moan that time has come to an end. Those who have been regenerated in their time (have died and gone to heaven) will be in Christ's army arriving with Him. Those just regenerated in that particular 'round' of recurrence when Christ arrives will be drawn up into the sky, so to speak, to be with the other regenerate.
The terror of the situation is with those who enjoyed dancing to the devil's tune. For them the harvest has arrived, and they are the chaff.
And, no, life won't be boring without evil and evil people, because there will be levels and hierarchy; and moving up a level causes friction and a baptism of fire (which seems like an evil). That is the replacement drama for the no longer existent battle between good and evil.

Unrelated? perhaps. From a distance I’ve been following her career.

In essence this is the relationship of the creation (man) with the creator, the old man with real ‘I’.
“ And every eye shall see Him.” - Full and complete consciousness when transformative real ‘I’ arrives.
“ Because those Roman dolts still live in their living time. (They are dead in sin in that living time, going round and round in recurrence; same life, same historical events.” - The old man continues to survive and live in recurrence until the second coming.
Here is something to ponder: the culmination of history is the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. All before looked toward it; all after look back to it.
No historical event since is bigger than it.
The Second Coming might even be connected with the time and event of the crucifixion. As a node of all time.
So this gives a point to fix the mind and perspective on. It changes how one thinks of history...views history. The past is alive. It's populated with the unregenerate though, which is a pageant of death, in terms of sin. As regenerate Christians, on the other hand, our brothers and sisters are in Heaven with Jesus.
It's getting complicated. I'm losing some confidence. Do the regenerated totally leave from historical time? Once they physically die as regenerate yes. This is what some call the rapture perhaps. Happening in all time. Ongoing. Until Christ returns in the new fullness of time.
