How
long did Adam and Abraham and Jeremiah (and all men!) spend in preparing
to take the test of a mortal probation? What ages and eons and eternities
passed away while Christ dwelt in the Eternal Presence and did the work
then assigned him? How can we measure infinite duration in finite terms?
To such questions we have no definitive answers. Suffice it to say,
the passage of time was infinite from man's view point. We have an authentic
account which can be accepted as true, that life has been going on in
this system for almost 2,555,000,000 years. Presumably this system is
the universe (or whatever scientific term is applicable) created by
the Father through instrumentality of the Son.(Bruce R. McConkie, Mortal Messiah 1:29-30) |
