Definition and Concept:
Spiritual time refers to the understanding and experience of time from a spiritual or biblical perspective, distinct from the chronological or earthly measurement of time. It encompasses God's eternal nature, His divine timing, and the believer's experience of time in relation to God's purposes and plans.

Biblical Foundations:

1. Eternal Nature of God:
The Bible presents God as eternal, existing outside the constraints of human time. In Psalm 90:2 , it is written, "Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God." This verse highlights God's timeless existence, emphasizing that He is not bound by the temporal limitations that govern human life.

2. Divine Timing:
God's timing is perfect and often differs from human expectations. Ecclesiastes 3:1 states, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." This passage underscores the belief that God has ordained specific times for every event and purpose, reflecting His sovereign control over history.

3. Kairos vs. Chronos:
The New Testament introduces the concept of "kairos" (appointed time) as distinct from "chronos" (sequential time). In Ephesians 5:16 , Paul exhorts believers to make the most of every opportunity (kairos), "because the days are evil." This suggests a call to discern and act upon God's opportune moments rather than merely following the passage of time.

4. Fulfillment of Prophecy:
Spiritual time is evident in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Galatians 4:4 declares, "But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law." This verse illustrates how God's redemptive plan unfolds precisely according to His divine schedule, culminating in the incarnation of Christ.

5. Eschatological Perspective:
The Bible encourages believers to live with an awareness of the end times and the imminent return of Christ. In 2 Peter 3:8 , it is written, "Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." This passage reminds Christians of the fluidity of time in God's perspective and the importance of readiness for the fulfillment of His promises.

Practical Implications for Believers:

1. Patience and Trust:
Understanding spiritual time encourages believers to trust in God's timing, even when it seems delayed. Romans 8:25 states, "But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently." This patience is rooted in faith that God's plans are unfolding perfectly.

2. Urgency in Mission:
Recognizing the brevity of life and the urgency of the gospel, believers are called to act decisively. Jesus' words in John 9:4 emphasize this urgency: "As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work."

3. Eternal Perspective:
Spiritual time shifts the focus from temporary, earthly concerns to eternal values. Colossians 3:2 instructs, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." This eternal perspective influences priorities, decisions, and lifestyle choices.

4. Hope and Assurance:
The concept of spiritual time provides hope and assurance of God's ultimate victory and the believer's eternal destiny. Revelation 22:12 promises, "Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done."

Conclusion:
Spiritual time, as revealed in Scripture, invites believers to align their lives with God's eternal purposes, trust in His perfect timing, and live with an awareness of the divine narrative that transcends earthly chronology.Hebrews 12:28
