Summary/Abstract: The presence and the simultaneousness of the two words: chronos and kairos, into the Bible, shows a complementary order of meanings. Chronos is the astronomical, human, linear time. Kairos is the divine time, the liturgical simultaneous order of things, the time that is filled with the uncreated energy of God.
