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.
We measure time by “change” - sun movement, day / night, seasons, years, etc.
Same question for evolutionist – Go back billions of years – What was God doing before the “big bang”?
But you are missing the fact that there was no time before God created.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning – time, space, matter were created
There was no time before creation
There is no “before” with God.
There was not even “nothing”
We humans can't really understand.
This is the faith part of God.
Hebrews 11:6
Psalm 90:2
John 1:1-3
Exodus 3:14 – I AM
Revelation 1:8
Isaiah 43:10
God is outside of time.
God's existence is separate from history
There is no such thing as prehistoric.
History began when it was first recorded—the first verse of Genesis.
Creation took 6 days – the FIRST 6 days of history
Genesis 2:1-2
Exodus 20:11
These are regular 24 hour days – light period and dark period
History began about 6,000 years ago
Some try to make the earth millions or billions of years old
Nowhere in the Bible is a suggestion about millions or billions
