Before Creation

Introduction

  1. What was God doing all that time before He created the universe?

  2. God is eternal. He has always existed.

  3. In eternity time is meaningless.

  4. We measure time by “change” - sun movement, day / night, seasons, years, etc.

  5. Same question for evolutionist – Go back billions of years – What was God doing before the “big bang”?

Time Was Created with the Universe

  1. But you are missing the fact that there was no time before God created.

  2. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning – time, space, matter were created

  3. There was no time before creation

God Is Separate from Both Time and the Universe

  1. There is no “before” with God.

  2. There was not even “nothing”

  3. We humans can't really understand.

  4. This is the faith part of God.

  5. Hebrews 11:6

  6. Psalm 90:2

  7. John 1:1-3

  8. Exodus 3:14 – I AM

  9. Revelation 1:8

  10. Isaiah 43:10

  11. God is outside of time.

God Wanted Us to Know His Plan for History, from Beginning to End

  1. God's existence is separate from history

  2. There is no such thing as prehistoric.

  3. History began when it was first recorded—the first verse of Genesis.

  4. Creation took 6 days – the FIRST 6 days of history

    1. Genesis 2:1-2

    2. Exodus 20:11

    3. These are regular 24 hour days – light period and dark period

    4. History began about 6,000 years ago

      1. Some try to make the earth millions or billions of years old

      2. Nowhere in the Bible is a suggestion about millions or billions
