Yes, it's something like "New World Order".\n\nCORRECTION: "A New Order of the Ages" is what it means.\n\nSo, basically the same thing.

time is of GOD who is eternal in our definition.\nTherefore time as we know it can not be quantified as to its origin.\nThe BIG BANG as some scientist ascribe to was GOD snapping his fingers to put the universe into existence, whether he created the universe before or at the same time as earth, I don't know and don't care, not my business to know because it is not beneficial to know.

Actually time is a constant property of nature its speed has nothing to do with our state of mind.If we are having fun then it is our state of mind in which we are tension free and relaxed and therefore we are paying less attention to other things.And when we are bored then thousands of ideas come in our mind and due to this psychological factor we start thinking that time has slowed down.So time's speed can never change rather our mind's acceptnance for certain things changes.

The essence of Buddhism is not that difficult to state. To understand, now that's another story.\n\nIn short, the essence is Mindfulness and Compassion. \n\nBuddhists believes that all beings are united and are a part of each other, thus the ego is in fact detrimental to our own happiness since if we embrace the ego, we will unintentional hurt others and if we are a part of one another, then we will in fact be hurting ourselves.\n\nBuddhists also believe that compassion is the key to happiness and that the Buddha Mind, that which we must nurture if we wish to become enlightened, is our natural state.\n\nFore more detail, please read on:\n\nThe Basic  teachings are:\n\nThe Four Nobel Truths:\n1) All worldly life is suffering. Causing us to lead an unsatisfactory, disjointed life.\n2) Suffering is caused by the ego. Things such as attachment and desire are rooted in the ego through ignorance.\n3) There is a way to end suffering. \n4) The way to end suffering is found in the Noble Eightfold Path\n\nThe Noble Eightfold Path: (Divided into three categories)\n>Wisdom\n1) Right Understanding - Looking at the world without attachment and desire, without ego.\n2) Right Thought - Keeping the mind on what is at hand and being resolved on renunciation, freedom from ill will, and on harmlessness.\n\n>Ethical Conduct\n3) Right Speech - Abstaining from lying, divisive, abusive and idle chatter.\n4) Right Action - Abstaining from taking life, stealing and improper sexual activities\n5) Right Livelihood - Doing what is right with ones life.\n\n>Concentration or Mental Development\n6) Right Effort - A persistent desire and an matching endeavor to participate in proper activates the are good and just. \n7) Right Mindfulness - Remaining focused on ones actions, speech, thoughts and lively hood. \n8) Right Concentration - by abandoning all selfishness and adopting a heart of compassion, keeping ones mind on what needs to be do including the helping of others.\n\nOn a more spiritual level, Buddhist generally believe in reincarnation, a cycle of birth, death and rebirth. This is called samsara. When we reach enlightenment, this cycle is broken and we are able to move into the next step of existence, Nirvana. \n\nThere are many schools and sects of Buddhism and some very in practice greatly. However, the underlying principals are virtually identical regardless of the school or tradition of Buddhism. \n\nFor more detailed information, please check out the references I have posted bellow.

it is near the end of times

My version of it's meaning:\n\nExample: I want to get into the water........I want to see real fish not pictures of fish\n\n\n\nWithin deepness is wonder, the endless azure pool--coolness for the burning heart. Within wonder is the Nameless--of It nothing can be said. To try is in vain. It drives the Almighty insane!\n\nSo you've prepared yourself well, but you must begin anew to understand laws that mortals find askew. Your love has limits. It cannot behold the swirling jewel.\n(author unknown)\n\nIn other words you can read things but until you actually experience it, you can only wonder about things.  No matter how old you get you will always have a new experience and more to learn about life

There are those who reason that, because of the very nature of the physical universe, the time must come when the sun will no longer shine and the earth will no longer sustain life. But are they correct? What does the Creator say—the One who brought into existence energy and matter, the One who originated the laws on which our existence depends?\nSolomon penned these words: “A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.” But for how long? According to the literal rendering of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, it will be “to time indefinite.” What does that mean?\nAs to what the expression means in connection with the earth, we are not left in doubt. At Psalm 104:5 we are told: “He has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.\nThus it is regarding the planet Earth on which we live that Jesus Christ taught his followers to pray to God: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.”—Matthew 6:9, 10.\n\nJehovah’s will is not for the earth to be inhabited by people who have no regard for its Owner and little love for one another. Long ago he promised: “Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:9, 29) “The inhabited earth to come,” of which the Bible speaks, will be populated by people who fear God and sincerely love their fellowmen. (Hebrews 2:5; compare Luke 10:25-28.) So great will be the changes that take place under God’s heavenly Kingdom that the Bible speaks of “a new earth”—not a different globe, but a new human society that will live amid the paradisaic conditions that mankind’s Creator purposed from the time he began his earthly creation.—Revelation 21:1-5; Genesis 2:7-9, 15.\n\nThe establishing of that “new earth” will, of necessity, be preceded by great destruction—one surpassing anything that mankind has yet experienced. For the good of the earth itself and all who are truly grateful to its Creator, he will “bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” (Revelation 11:17, 18) \n Peter writes that God brought the Deluge “upon a world of ungodly people,” while preserving Noah and his family; in this way “the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.” (2Pe 2:5; 3:6) It may again be noted that the reference here is not to the destruction of the planet or of the celestial bodies of the universe, but it is restricted to the human sphere, in this case the unrighteous human society. It was that “world” that Noah condemned by his faithful course.

"All we are is dust in the wind....."\n\nIn knowing that our time on earth is finite, it is all the more sweet.  Savor each day, for it may be our last.

Time is a circle, constantly falling in on itself & renewing. The circle of life. Everything in the Universe is made of energy. Therefore, everything is one. Energy current runs in a circle(+ , - , + , - , +). Constantly renewing itself. The only place you can find the Great Spirit is within, not without. The Great Spirit is the energy that everything is made of. We are all one. Human, animal, tree, rock, flower and bee. You can not harm anything without inturn harming all. Love your Mother Earth!

Einstein-"Time is an Illusion, although persistent still just an illusion." \n\nwhat he is talking about is that physical unverse exists in a single infinitesible moment just as much as it does over the span of a million years. Time presents our senses with the concepts of mass and form. Time only exists so that we may perceive the universe and of course if we could not perceive the universe it would not really exist would it? Do you beleive in God now?

There are many translations due to it's poetic nature. Here are a few:\n\n * Kavikratu Tattva Budh:\n\n    "Almighty Supreme Sun impel us with your divine brilliance so we may attain a noble understanding of reality."\n\n * Gayatri Pariwar:\n\n    "O God, Thou art the giver of life, the remover of pain and sorrow, the bestower of happiness; O Creator of the Universe, may we receive Thy supreme, sin destroying light; may Thou guide our intellect in the right direction."\n\n * William Q. Judge:\n\n    "Unveil, O Thou who givest sustenance to the Universe, from whom all proceed, to whom all must return, that face of the True Sun now hidden by a vase of golden light, that we may see the truth and do our whole duty on our journey to thy sacred seat."\n\n\n    "Oh matter-energy-mind (triple universe); Upon this worthy source of divine spiritual light, meditate: thus enlighten our intellect."

It does mean something like: "The only truth is the finality of death" or "True annihilation lies in Death".\n\nIt is also a phrase used in a type of Heavy Metal music, called "Death Metal", characterized by deep growls, loud bass, and screams.
