Revelation 22:13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
************************************************** *************************
Time can be divided into past, present, and future.
Now let's draw a horizontal line.
And I will call this line the line of time.
right? If you look in front of the starting point of the line of time, there is nothing. And there's nothing behind the ending point. Now, the Bible says in Genesis 1:2, “The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the deep.” There was nothing. There was no time and no light back then.
Then one day God began to create the heavens and the earth.
At that time, time was also created. “Let there be a light in the firmament of the heavens, said God, to divide the day and the night, and let the light be for signs and seasons, days and years” (Genesis 1:14).
So what do we call a place where there is no time?
We call it eternity. Eternity has neither beginning nor end. It's like the universe.
Before time begins and after eternity ends, it is called after eternity.
Now, let me ask you one thing. Since when has God been? It was just before eternity.
In Genesis 1:1, it says “in the beginning”. The beginning is a place before time began, before eternity
talk. So God has existed from eternity. And even now, He is always there to protect us.
So, when did Jesus exist? Jesus was always with God from the beginning.
Again, see Genesis chapter 1. “God said,” he said. “Karasade” means what you said.
words. Let's look at John 1:1.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
You said that this is the beginning of the beginning, and the word comes out, right? And the Word was with God
And he said that the Word was God. Shall we see a little more?
“He was with God in the beginning, and all things were made through him, and nothing that was made was made without him. In him was life, and this life was the light of men. Chapter 1 2-5)”
“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
The word here refers to someone.
Who? That is Jesus. When was Jesus there? It is said that in the beginning He was with God. Then, Jesus also existed from eternity.
When did the Holy Spirit exist? Go back to Genesis and look at 1:2.
“The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the waters.”
He said he was the god of God. It speaks of the Holy Spirit. In this way, Jesus, the God of the Father, and the God of the Son, and the Holy Spirit have been together from the beginning. And as John 1:2 says, when God created the world, Jesus and the Holy Spirit also created it.
When God works, Jesus and the Holy Spirit do not stand still, but work together.
God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are always with us and work together even when Jesus is doing many things on this earth and the Holy Spirit is with us.
Some people say that the Old Testament age is the age of the Father, the age of Jesus when Jesus was present, and now the age of the Holy Spirit. This is incorrect. Will Jesus in the Old Testament come or not?
Obviously, Jesus is coming. The Bible speaks of Jesus from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
In particular, the prophet Isaiah was called Immanuel. Just because the person who worked mainly in the Old Testament was expressed as God, the God of the Father, does not mean that Jesus and the Holy Spirit did not exist or that He did not work. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have always been with us since eternity, and are with us now, and will be with you in Mire. When Jesus comes back to this earth, it is not only Jesus who comes. God and the Holy Spirit are coming together.
We need to know this right. It is clearly tested in the Bible.
God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are not separate; they do not change from eternity to eternity.
Please believe that God is always with you and works in the same way.
