The temporal nature of earthly life and possessions is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, emphasizing the transient nature of human existence and the material world.<br><br><b>Human Life and Earthly Existence</b><br><br>The Bible frequently reminds believers of the fleeting nature of human life. In <a href="/james/4-14.htm">James 4:14</a> , it is written, "You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." This verse underscores the brevity and uncertainty of life, urging believers to live with an eternal perspective.<br><br>Similarly, <a href="/psalms/39-5.htm">Psalm 39:5</a> states, "Behold, You have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before You. Truly, each man at his best exists as but a breath." This passage highlights the short-lived nature of human life compared to the eternal existence of God.<br><br><b>Material Wealth and Possessions</b><br><br>The Bible also addresses the temporary nature of material wealth and possessions. In <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-20</a> , Jesus instructs, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." This teaching encourages believers to focus on spiritual wealth, which is eternal, rather than on temporary earthly riches.<br><br><a href="/proverbs/23-4.htm">Proverbs 23:4-5</a> further warns, "Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself. When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky." This passage serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of wealth and the futility of placing one's trust in it.<br><br><b>Suffering and Trials</b><br><br>The Bible also speaks to the temporary nature of suffering and trials. In <a href="/2_corinthians/4-17.htm">2 Corinthians 4:17-18</a> , the Apostle Paul writes, "For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." This passage offers hope and encouragement, reminding believers that present sufferings are temporary and serve a greater purpose in God's eternal plan.<br><br><b>The Temporal vs. The Eternal</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, there is a clear distinction between the temporary and the eternal. In 1 <a href="/john/2-17.htm">John 2:17</a> , it is stated, "The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever." This verse contrasts the transient nature of worldly desires with the enduring nature of those who align themselves with God's will.<br><br>The Bible consistently calls believers to focus on the eternal rather than the temporary. <a href="/colossians/3-2.htm">Colossians 3:2</a> advises, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." This exhortation encourages Christians to prioritize their spiritual lives and eternal relationship with God over the temporary concerns of the world.<br><br>In summary, the Bible presents the concept of "temporary" as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life, material possessions, and earthly trials, urging believers to focus on the eternal promises and purposes of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>a.</I>) Lasting for a time only; existing or continuing for a limited time; not permanent; as, the patient has obtained temporary relief.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4340.htm"><span class="l">4340. proskairos -- in season, ie <b>temporary</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> in season, ie <b>temporary</b>.
