GRAND RETURN FAMILY KAIROS GOD’S TIME NOT OURS
Kairos (καιρός) in the KJV Bible refers to a special, opportune, or appointed time—a decisive moment in God's plan, distinct from chronos (sequential clock time). Key examples include Jesus proclaiming the "time has come" (Mark 1:15) and Paul's "now is the accepted time" (2 Corinthians 6:2), highlighting divine opportunities, not just calendar dates.
Key Meanings & Examples
Opportune/Appointed Time: A moment when God acts, bringing about significant change or fulfilling purpose.
Contrast with Chronos: While chronos is measurable, linear time (seconds, days), kairos is a qualitative, powerful moment that interrupts routine.
Scriptural Examples:
Mark 1:15: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand" (Jesus announcing the arrival of God's era).
2 Corinthians 6:2: "Now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation" (a moment of divine favor).
Romans 13:11: "The hour is now come that we should awake out of sleep" (a critical moment to act).
Luke 19:44: "Thou knewest not the time of thy visitation" (missing a kairos moment).
How it's Used in KJV
The KJV translates kairos in various ways to convey this sense of critical opportunity or season:
"Time" (e.g., Mark 1:15)
"Season" (e.g., Luke 1:20, Acts 24:25)
"Opportunity" (e.g., Romans 5:6)
"Due season" (e.g., Luke 12:42)
In essence, kairos in the KJV points to those vital, God-appointed intersections of eternity with our everyday chronos time
