Does Time Exist In Heaven?

[1catholic]

Please provide legitimate sources.

I know humans are not themselves eternal, because they have beginnings.

Also, we seem to talk about the "end of time" in our prayers, is this a figure of speech, is this a change in what is meant by time?

If there is change in heaven (time) doesn't that mean one is lacking something always (the moment before, the moment to come)?

I have seen arguments that appear sound on both sides...is there a conclusive answer?

You might find more success with your question on a different part of the forum.

Here are two links which I think you should read.

St. Augustine's Confession Book 11

AND

This part of the Summa from St. Thomas

A few principles further will help or confuse you.

Time is the measurement of change.

God does not change.

Heaven is union with God.

The present is one moment which has no duration.

We go to Heaven at different times relative to the progression of time on Earth.
