"Yes, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?" (Isaiah 43:13)
The difficulty to assimilate the mystery of time and the beginning of our existence is very great, because it goes beyond our logic and our reasoning. God is Almighty, Eternal and Transcendent, He is the Father of Eternity and Time itself. Eternity is a superexistential and supertemporal dimension, sublime and wonderful, full of justice, love and light, which has no before, during or after, where existence and peace are never separated. What makes time possible is the energized matter of the third-dimensional dimension that vibrates, transforms and moves. Eternity is ultradimensional and ultraspatial, and there nothing is time, everything is always, and there nothing is distance, everything is present. However, there are places there, and there are events. There is the dwelling and the Greater Sanctuary of God, where Jesus appeared for us, for the human race, to effect our redemption and salvation. There are the many mansions of the House of God, where the saved go, places that the Lord Jesus referred to in His priestly prayer for us, in the Gospel of John.
There are the abodes of the elect angels, and of the endless families of superior heavenly races, who have overcome in faith and been lifted up in light. There is judgment and justice, and the righteous superior laws of the government of God. There are north and south, and there are the Mount of Congregation, where the universes come together to worship God, and the High Stars of God, referred to in Isaiah 14. There took place the great rebellion of the Ancient Cherub and the great battle of Michael, where God winned, and thence drove out the enemy armies. It is from eternity where our Lord Jesus, the Son of God, giving up His glory, came down to us, becoming man and dying for our sins, to forgive us, bring us back to life and restore us to the Kingdom of God, the Father. It is thither that the Lord, after obtaining our salvation by His victory and resurrection, ascended and sat down at the right hand of God, having received all power and authority in heaven and on earth, where again he lives forever and whence intercede for the saved. From there the New Jerusalem is descending, which will appear after the Last Judgment, and which will be the eternal dwelling place of God and His Children in the New Heavens and on the New Earth, which are very close to arise for those who believe.
"Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation." (Psalms 24:3-5)
God, our Father and the Supreme Creator, dwells in eternity, but He Himself exists and lives above even the very dimension in which He dwells and from which He governs all the existential realms of Creation. He is Eternal. He who was, who is and who will be forever. He lives and exists beyond even the very dimension of being, meaning, existing and always. God is unreachable and unbearable by any understanding, reason or measurement that can exist, so that He is what He simply Is, the Almighty Invincible in Greatness, and He can only be known by Faith in His Word and the recognition of the His Faithfulness, Power and Justice, which are also in the works of Creation, and which are from everlasting and before all time, before the creation of all luminary or hyperluminal universes, from eternity to eternity.
He is the Father of Truth, Equity and Power. He accepts and answers our prayers, truly, as long as there is faith and sincerity in our hearts, but He doesn't need to consult anyone to understand everything and always unfailingly know what to do.
"Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict." (Job 37:23)
His wisdom and His justice are perfect, exalted in power, and can never be surpassed. He rules over all and justly judges every living and conscious creature in all the terms of His dominion, from His Holy and Most High Throne, which is eternal and perpetual, and with His Scepter of Equity rules over all the Fullness of Creation. There is no righteous man who is unrewarded, no wicked man who escapes of judgment, for He is Omniscient and Omnipotent, swift to reward, and He knows all and sees all, even the interior of all hearts with the most absolute perfection and discernment. He is the Owner and Lord of all Power, in heaven and on earth, the Great Judge and Savior of All who seek Him, and for Him absolutely nothing is impossible in truth and justice. He is the King of Nations, the Great Judge of all the Earth, and the Savior of His People, who works great signs and wonders, mighty in wars, who makes the sea part dry, and stops the sun in mid-heaven to save His redeemed.
"Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom is a right scepter." (Psalm 45:6)
Everything was created, came into being and has life through His eternal power, according to the wise counsel of His will, and nothing is, and nothing lives, and nothing exists without Him or transcending of Him. He is the Antecedent Source, the Father of Light and Spirits, the Primordial Architect, the Beginning and the End of all things, in the heavens and under the heavens, and the Eternal Giver of life and the force that moves. By His Word He decrees, and the things that don't exist come to exist, and the things that are not come into being. He suspends the stars in space and establishes the atomic laws of the universes, balancing all their gravitational and energetic forces in harmony.
He is the wise engineer and programmer of DNA, even though life is in spirit and not in matter, and he precisely determines all chemical and biological syntheses of living matter. He knows the timing of the seasons, the rains, the snows, the cold and the heat, and the mild or stormy winds obey His faithful decrees.
"The earth is the LORD', and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods." (Psalms 24:1-2)
If He commands, drought, famine, and pestilence ravage men and nations, and who will doubt the wisdom of what He does? If He decrees a war, who will stop Him from carrying out His strange but righteous work? He sees what is in the heart of a nation, and knows what it will try to accomplish if He does not intervene with judgment of war, famine or pestilence, for men's hearts are full of selfishness, hatred, adultery, murders, fornications, greed, idolatry and disobedience. If His merciful patience runs out, and He decrees the desolation or even the end of a nation, who will stop Him from executing the righteous judgment of His Holy Wrath? He will certainly do whatever He pleases until He has taken vengeance on all His enemies, and on all those who hate Him, and there are no valiant men or nuclear weapons that can withstand the might of His Arm. But He is also kind and merciful, full of grace and love, for if men wake up, and consider, and repent of their murders and their evil works, and confess their sins, and cry to heaven, He is gracious and pious, great to forgive and Almighty to deliver and save those who call upon His Name, the Eternal God, and to Him be converted.
"Son of man, when the land sins against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out my hand on it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine on it, and will cut off man and beast from it." (Ezekiel 14:13)
"He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth." (Psalm 105:7)
This earth and this universe, in the beginning, were created by the decree of the Word of God, which is living, omnipotent, and infallible over all things. But this world is temporal, and we, in this present life, are temporal beings, living under time. Before this world came into being, God already existed and has always existed, far above all notions of time and dimension, for He is Eternal, and dwells in eternity, His blessed abode of light. We should pay attention to how small and limited we are, and because of Adam's sin this world is a fallen world, and since that time everything here has entered into a state of experience of faith and probation, so that all hearts that enter in this field of fire they are to be tried and proven in faith before they enter into eternity, either for life or for judgment. All are being tested to be manifest if each one will look to the light, repent and do justice to God and to his neighbor, or close his eyes to the truth of God, so great, magnificent and wonderful, who sent us His Son, clearly manifest in all the great works of Creation present on this Earth and in this Universe, amazing and wonderful things, such as the balanced and protective action of the Sun, the purposeful and defined order of the constellations of the stars, the constancy of the seasons, the wise alternation of climate, the uninterrupted generation of oxygen in the seas, the hatching and programmed growth of a seed, the birth and development of life, the impressive synchrony of the life of animals, the intellectual capacity of man, the diversity of substances, the verifiable laws of physics and chemistry, scientific discoveries, the lights of dawn and the greatness of everything.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no ficklenss, neither shadow of turning." (James 1:17)
God knows everything that is happening between us, and He is above time, and He knows our past, present and future as one written text, which He knows from beginning to end. And even more than that, He knows the inside of every heart. He is in eternity, and has all dominion and power over everything, like a man with a butterfly in his hand, but even though we are evil and sinful, He has not left us alone and helpless, if we are willing to believe. He sent us to His Son, Jesus, to save us from the fall of Adam and all our sins, if we will only believe in His Almighty Name, which is holy and worshiped by the angels and the myriads of Creation.
He is able to help us and succor us in all our tribulations that we go through here, if we seek His face with faith. This world will one day pass away, this entire universe, which are our visible heavens, burning in flames of fire and smoke, and will disappear to give way to the birth of a new Heaven and a new Earth, where there will be the Eternal Kingdom of God, where there will be peace, and where righteousness and life will dwell forever, among all who believe and turn to Christ while still alive, during this great spiritual test that we suffer at this present time, which is not a test of our destruction, nor of the our evil, but to know our smallness and need for salvation, repent and believe in God, through His Son, turning to His Kingdom and obeying His Word so that, through patience and perseverance to the end, we may glorify to the Lord that we may be approved and become more than conquerors, through the Faith and life of Christ, to inherit the entrance into His heavenly abodes and the future resurrection of the saints in light unto eternal life.
"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (John 3:17)
"For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever." (Deuteronomy 32:40)
