(4) Greek and Hebrew conception:
1) the passage of time by the movement of the sun and the moon
2) quite philosophical, with a streak of pessimism
1. Greek verb:
1) tenses exact divisions of past, present and future, which should have given a good base for a sophisticated sense of history.
2) but there was a tendency to see time as circular or visualize it spatially, and no clear sense of history developed.
3) may be as somewhat phlegmatic, reflecting on the passage of time without much feeling or commitment to it.
2. Hebrew concept:
1) referred to the sun and moon as light (Gen. 1:14-19; Ps. 136:7-9), which are sign of God's goodness as well as his glory and power.
2) the passing of time was not threat or source of anxiety; it contained elements of hope because God was acting in history (Jer. 29:11; Prov. 24:14).
3) the chronology of the future is not so important as the content of the future, which is seen as a gift or reward from God.
4) Hebrew language is not so concerned with past present and future; instead it distinguishes between events completed and those not yet completed, reflecting and event-oriented culture.
5) often, what we would call the past tense, that is, the tense to describe a completed event, is used for the future when God is declaring what is yet happen. This \\\\\"prophetic perfect\\\\\" indicate s that God's promises are so sure that they can be said to have happened already.
