Time

In classical Arabic literature, "Atlal" also refers to the ruins of a lover's dwelling, a motif often used in pre-Islamic poetry (Al-Mu'allaqat) to signify the poet's reflection on impermanence and the passage of time.

Hilkiah, the high priest at the time, is thought to have played a key role in guiding Hezekiah in these religious reforms.

The chosen people narrative, often used to justify land claims and wars, reflects that time's political and theological agendas rather than universal truths about divinity.

During the time of King Hezekiah in the 8th century BCE, Judah was surrounded by a variety of kingdoms, each with its own pantheon of deities and religious practices.

Beloved successors, for the sake of our dear forefathers, and of our dear liberty, I entreat you a thousand times never let the eye of a monk look on these writings.

Thirty years after the day on which the Volksmoeder was murdered by the commander Magy, was a time of great distress.

If I might add more, I would recommend that all the respectable girls in the towns should be taught; for I say positively, and time will show it, that if you wish to remain true children of Frya, never to be vanquished by fraud or arms, you must take care to bring up your daughters as true Frya’s daughters.

All these stories must be told by the fireside and in the field, wherever it may be, in times of joy or sorrow; and if you wish to impress it on the brains and the hearts of your sons, you must let it flow through the lips of your wives and your daughters.

Apol, Adela’s husband; three times a sea-king; Grevetman of Ostflyland and Lindaoorden.

Three Times a Sea-King: This indicates that Apol held the title of Sea-King on three separate occasions, suggesting his significant role in maritime leadership.

Nine times he was chosen as duke or heerman (commander).

He was three times heerman.

He was chosen nine times for sea-king.

He was five times sea-king.

It was Frya’s day, and seven times seven years had elapsed since Festa was appointed Volksmoeder by the desire of Frya.

Then commenced time.

Time wrought all things, even the earth.

They each bore twelve sons and twelve daughters—at every Juul-time a couple.

When in dire distress, and when mental and physical energy avail nothing, then have recourse to the spirit of Wr-alda; but do not appeal to him before you have tried all other means, for I tell you beforehand, and time will prove its truth, that those who give way to discouragement sink under their burdens.

To Wr-alda’s spirit only shall you bend the knee in gratitude—thricefold—for what you have received, for what you do receive, and for the hope of aid in time of need.

Anything that any man commences, whatever it may be, on the day appointed for Frya’s worship shall eternally fail, for time has proved that she was right; and it is become a law that no man shall, except from absolute necessity, keep that day otherwise than as a joyful feast.

What appears at the top is the signs of the Juul—that is, the first symbol of Wr-alda, also of the origin or beginning from which Time is derived; this is the Kroder, which must always go round with the Juul.

In her time Finda also invented a mode of writing, but that was so high-flown and full of flourishes that her descendants have soon lost the meaning of it.

Before the bad time came our country was the most beautiful in the world.

The banks of these rivers were at one time entirely inhabited by our people, as well as the banks of the Rhine from one end to the other.

Then watchfulness was doubly impressed upon us, and time taught us that union is force.

Eighty years afterwards, just at the time of the Juulfeest, they overran our country like a snowstorm driven by the wind.

When Wodin had disappeared some time, disputes arose.

Religious practices around Nehalenia peaked in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, at which time there were possibly two to three temples located in the area that is now Zealand.

At this time, this coastal region was an important link for trade between the Rhine area and Britain .

Sons and daughters of Frya, you know that in these last times we have suffered much loss and misery because the sailors no longer come to buy our paper, but you do not know what the reason of it is.

On the other side of the Scheldt, where from time to time there come ships from all parts, they make now paper from pumpkin leaves, by which they save flax and outdo us.

At this time Rosamond the mother, who had done all in her power by gentle means to preserve peace, when she saw how bad it was, made short work of it.

Three months afterwards Geert departed with the best of Frya’s sons, and seven times twelve ships.

The sea-king of the Tyrians brought them altogether through the strait which at that time ran into the Red Sea (now re-established as the Suez Canal).

At the time of the submersion of Atland, the first spoke of the Juul stood at the top.

Time will provide that; but a thousand thousand times we will call with Frya, Watch!

She waved it three times over her head, and each time a knight bit the earth.

In the progress of time all creation alters and changes, but goodness alone is unalterable; and since Wr-alda is good, he cannot change.

And whosoever shall say that there was a time when the Son of God was not, or that before he was begotten he was not, or that he was made of things that were not, or that he is of a different substance or essence [from the Father] or that he is a creature, or subject to change or conversion — all that so say, the Catholic and Apostolic Church anathematizes them.

The anathemas reject “there was a time when he was not” and related Arian formulas.

First of all, then, in the presence of our most religious Sovereign Constantine, investigation was made of matters concerning the impiety and transgression of Arius and his adherents; and it was unanimously decreed that he and his impious opinion should be anathematized… saying that he is from things that are not, and that before he was begotten he was not, and that there was a time when he was not, and that the Son of God is by his free will capable of vice and virtue; saying also that he is a creature.

We further proclaim to you the good news of the agreement concerning the holy Easter… so that all our brethren in the East who formerly followed the custom of the Jews are henceforth to celebrate the said most sacred feast of Easter at the same time with the Romans and yourselves and all those who have observed Easter from the beginning.

It anathematizes Arian formulas such as “there was a time when he was not.” The longer creed many churches use today is mainly the later 381 CE expansion.
