How do we know that time is brief according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that our lives are fleeting, comparing a thousand years to a day (Psalm 90:4).

The Scriptures repeatedly illustrate the brevity of life, emphasizing that time is not a steady continuum for God. In Psalm 90:4, it states that a thousand years in His sight are like yesterday when it is past. This insight invites believers to recognize that earthly life is transient and to approach each day with seriousness and wisdom. The teachings found in Ecclesiastes also echo this truth, as they reflect on the vaporous nature of life, urging individuals to focus on what is of eternal value and to respond to God's call in their limited time.
