Healing in time and eternity

God heals both in time and eternity. As the God who acts in history, God declared and demonstrated Himself as 'Yahweh-Rapha', the "LORD who heals" (Ex 15:26). When healing will be manifested has always been a concern to those suffering from disease. The natural desire is for healing now - in time and space. That God heals as a wondrous sign in history is truth. That God must always heal now because we believe, obey, or confess the Word is myth. The myths will be handled later. Francis Schaeffer correctly observed that God revealed in Scripture is a personal-infinite God as revealed in Scripture is a personal is a personal-infinite God who acts both in eternity and in time and space.
