Every moment is hidden as a single moment in God's memory—from the time a seed falls to the ground from a banana tree,
to the time bananas are picked from the tree, packaged and sent to market, then sold in the market, brought home, and put
in a fruit basket. Every moment is vividly experienced in God's sight. No state of the banana is destroyed in God's sight but
remains hidden there forever.

This is also true of all the events in your life. For example, the foundation of the house left to you by
your grandfather is at this moment being constructed. Your father is now being born in this house. The mo-
ment you first started to talk is happening now. You are now eating the meal you will "actually" eat ten
years from now.

The reality that all these examples present us with is this: no moment, no event or no existing thing has
ever, or will ever cease to exist. As a film we are watching on television is recorded on a film strip and com-
posed of several frames, and as our not seeing some of the frames does not mean that they do not exist, so
it is with what we call "the past" and "the future".
