BEFORE CREATION Genesis 1:1

Introduction What was God doing all that time before He created the universe? God is eternal. He has always existed. In eternity, time is meaningless. Revelation 10:6c that there should be time no longer: Song : Time shall be no more

Introduction We measure time by “change” Seasons, years, sun movement Our growth and development Whatever you believe about the age of the earth (6 – 8,000 or millions of years) – The question is the same.

Time was Created There was no time before creation. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Time, space and matter were created

God is separate from Time and Universe There is no “before” with God There was not even “nothing” To the blind there is not black, there is nothing God is always in the present tense Not – God was, Not – God will be But – God IS

God is separate from Time and Universe Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

God is separate from Time and Universe John 1:1-3 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

God is separate from Time and Universe Exodus 3:14 And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' " Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

God is separate from Time and Universe Isaiah 43:10 "You are My witnesses," says the Lord, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. God is outside of time.

God wants us to know His Plan God's existence is separate from history. There is no such thing as “prehistoric.” History = recorded events History begins with Genesis 1:1

God wants us to know His Plan Creation took 6 days These are the first 6 days of history Genesis 2:1-2 1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

God wants us to know His Plan Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

God wants us to know His Plan These are regular 24 hour days Light period / dark period Earth revolves – there is light on one half and darkness on the other Some try to make the earth millions (or billions) of years old

God wants us to know His Plan Ephesians 1:3-4 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

God wants us to know His Plan The Bible reveals God The Bible gives us the plan of God Do you believe God? Do you believe God? Do you want to live in eternity with God? Do you want to live in eternity with God?
