"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God."
What does "from everlasting to everlasting mean"? It means that with God it is impossible to put a date on a beginning or an end. He has existed from one end of eternity to the other. Then consider that there is no place in the universe where God is not present. It will almost blow your mind. To some people God is incomprehensible, so they just deny His existence. That's where the Bible comes in. If we didn't have God's revelation of Himself in scripture, we could could never understand Him. For example, Psalm 97:6 tells us that "the heavens declare His righteousness and all the people see His glory." We can look into the sky and see the evidence of God's existence. The Bible tells us that we can find Him in the heavens. Ancient people saw the stars and moon and worshipped them. Scripture tells us that He created it and that we are to worship Him, not His creation. Another text that makes God comprehensible is Hebrews 1:1-3: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds.Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholds all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high." In the final analysis, Jesus makes God comprehensible to us. He tells us that not only is God real, but that He loves us and wants to be involved in our lives. The God who is "from everlasting to everlasting" enters into time with us and becomes a part of our lives. His presence and reality in our lives through the Holy Spirit brings Him alive in our lives. He is not just comprehensible; He is necessary. Bro. Joe
