Qoheleth 3:15

¹⁵That which is, already has been;

 that which is to be, already is;

and God seeks out what has gone by.

 

Of what does he speak

Cannot Qoheleth see change

He sees something else

 

Heraclitus notes

One cannot step into the same

Stream more than one time

 

What stays always same

The reality of needs

Common to us all

 

God is transcendent

Time and space do not bind him

Timelessly present

 

God lives in the past

The present and the future

Before time “I am”

Heraclitus could have said, “You cannot step into the same stream once.”
