The Names of God

Gen 21:33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.

If you can imagine always you will just begin to comprehend El Olam.

God is absolutely unaffected by the ravages of time…

All the laws of nature that affect us and make us age and cause our bodies to wear out, have no affect on a God who is timeless.

God is never in a hurry because He has always been. He has no past and no future as we know it.

There is only forever with God and forever is “now” and there is nothing else.
