Note: This article is my opinion based on what I have learned about science and how it parallels the Bible.  It seems as if science continually proves the Bible to be true time and time again. What you read below appears to me to be another example of that.

2 Peter 3:8 expresses this truth. Many take this as a general lesson that time doesn’t mean much to God, I’m not saying that is wrong but I believe God is being very specific with this statement as well. Jesus’s first public miracle of turning water into wine is a miracle of time because fermentation is a process that only time can accomplish.

Time is relative to gravity and gravity is relative to mass. Time goes slightly faster on the moon than it does on Earth because the moon has a less gravitational pull. Atoms are the smallest bit of matter and each atom has its own gravitational pull. Just like each planet, star, and sun moon does.

Time goes much faster at the atomic level because atoms have a much smaller gravitational pull than say planet or star. I believe the Bible tells us the time scale from the dimension we humans are on to the atomic level in which humans are made of. 1 day is 1,000 years and a 1,000 years is a day. I believe the heavens have different time scales, hence eternity.

In The Bible, The Word “Heavens” In The Greek ‘oo-ran-os’ “οὐρανός” According to Thayer is defined as Heavens, Universe, Sky, Starry Heavens, etc…

As you may know, the earth rotates around the sun as do other planets. What may be a surprise to you is the structure of atoms mimics the structure of solar systems. Atoms are the smallest bit of matter down to the pure element. There are hydrogen atoms, oxygen atoms, helium atoms, nitrogen atoms, gold atoms, etc… Just like there are hydrogen stars (suns), oxygen stars (suns)s, helium stars (suns), etc…

Each element that is burned has a specific light signature that puts off a specific light frequency. As a result, we are able to know what each star is made out of and what element it is burning. Just in case you do not know, stars are other suns that have their own solar system. Hence ‘oo-ran-os’ “οὐρανός” means “Starry Heavens”.

I am not saying atoms are miniature solar systems like the image above. But I am saying that they resemble each other and share similar properties. They are different because they are either A. In different dimensions or B. On the opposite ends of the scale within the dimension, God placed humans.

You and I are made out of atoms. If you are a believer you and I are the temples of God. Your physical body is the temple of God in this particular dimension. Jesus Christ is our High Priest who passed through the heavens in a temple not made with hands. Thus giving us access by His blood into the Heavens.

^{Hebrews 9:24-26}  For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that were only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. ²⁵ Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. ²⁶ Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once and for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.

The 3rd Heaven: In The Body Or Out Of The Body?

When Paul was caught up in the 3rd Heaven 2 Corinthians 12:2. He did not know if He was in his body or outside of His body. I believe He was either A. In his body on the subatomic level or B. Was in superposition inside and outside of His own body (temple). It was un-lawful for Him to explain what He saw because he was transcending the laws of the current dimension you and I live in and he was passing through the Heavens by the power of the blood of Jesus. Kind of like what angels can do I guess, but different.

You and I are made of atoms and atoms are mostly empty space. The atomic Bohr model below is the structure of an atom. If the orbits around the nucleus were to scale the rings would be miles apart. Why is this important? Look into the sky into space (the starry heavens), and you notice that the universe is mainly made up of empty space. Just like atoms. And just like us. WE have an entire universe inside of us and it appears we are just as big as we are small (maybe).

Jesus Said We Will Do Greater Things Than He Did

I do not claim to know what Jesus meant by this saying but I believe we have an entire universe inside of us. Our bodies are the temple of God and we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Is it possible we can tap into miracle powers through Jesus Christ through the temples of our bodies that seem to have multidimensional properties?

I have faith that this is the case. Jesus Christ to redeem our bodies (Romans 8:23-25). He must think our inter-dimensional bodies are important and I think this article supports that and opens up the reality that the kingdom of God is inside of you. Luke 17:21 KJV

Hebrews 10:1 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason, it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

All of the physical things mentioned in the old covenant (i.e. water, land, mountains, rivers, the temple, sky, birds, etc…) are real and literal but now in the new covenant, these physical things are made as an illustration of the realities we have as individuals in the spirit realm now.

Because Jesus came, died, and was resurrected from the dead, He ushered in a new age and the new covenant in which a temple as a building is no longer needed for us to be cleansed from our sins to worship God. He made it very clear that the temple is our body(s).

There were two curtains that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Only the High Priest was able to go past the curtains with the shedding of the blood of bulls and goats. These things are only a shadow of things to come in Christ in the New Covenant.

The blood of Jesus though cleanses our conscience so we can enter the Holy Place in the heavenly temple of our bodies. (Humans are in two dimensions, the Spiritual and the physical).

^{Hebrews 9:23-24 23} It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that were only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.

The Kingdom Of God Is Within You Through a Clean Conscience

When you accept and believe that your sins are forgiven Jesus’s blood cleanses your conscience and gives access to heavenly realities you can experience in the temple of your body. You step into a realm of peace and power that gives believers the authority to perform miracles and experience the Love of God in a personal way.

^{Hebrews 9:11-14 11} But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here,^[a] he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. ¹² He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves, but he entered the Most Holy Place once and for all by his own blood, thus obtaining^[b] eternal redemption. ¹³ The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. ¹⁴ How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death,^[c] so that we may serve the living God!
