Chronos / Kyros / Plero'o"

Notes from a message by Dutch Sheets
.
Ecclesiates 3
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, And a time to die;
A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill, And a time to heal;
A time to break down, And a time to build up;
A time to weep, And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away;
A time to tear, And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;
A time to love, And a time to hate;
A time of war, And a time of peace.

This . . .
There is an appointed time. Really. There is an appointed time of change, and nothing will ever be the same.
There is an appointed time. A day. A moment when God breaks in.
.
That . . .
There is a season for us to plow; a season to plant; a season to water and weed; and a season to reap.
.
This is That . . .
What time is it?
Three different words dealing with times and seasons.
Chronos
Chronological time: day to day; hour to hour; moment to moment.
Plowing. Planting. Cultivating. Blood. Sweat. Tears.
Kyros
An appointed time. An opportune time. A kyros time is not necessarily a time when something IS done, but the strategic time when something can and must be done. A kyros moment is a window of opportunity. Kyros is not a time of arrival, but a new season where something is possible. If you "keep on" you will move into the next phase of time . . .
Plero'o
Fullness of time. Jesus came at the "fullness of time". When the day of pentocost was "plero'o" (fully come). The disciples could have fervently prayed for the day of pentecost to come earier, even a day, but it was not going to happen, because the day of pentecost had not yet "fully come".
Plero'o is what we all desire - fullness in joy and provision; Fullness in unity with one another and with God; Experiencing fullness in purpose; Fully loving God and fully recieving his love for us. We have plowed, planted, cultivated and fervently prayed. We have entered into a kyros time of believing and knowing that the window of opportunity is open. That God is up to something. That something big is going on. We can smell the bacon cooking, but we can't quite get a full hold of it to take a bite. Keep pressing, keep praying, do not grow faint. The fullness of time, the fullness of all that God desires, and the fullness of all that we desire in God is coming.
The fullness of God is coming.
