The Timelessness Of God

Q. I praise God for the wisdom that He gifted to you. Thank you for sharing it. I have a question about the timelessness of God.  However, in Isaiah 43:10 He states: “…before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.”  How can this be if He has no beginning or end? Can “eternal” have a “before” or “end”?

A. It’s figurative language.  It’s like He was saying, “I always was and I always will be” which is what His name (I am) implies.  To help us understand what that means He said there was no god before Him and there won’t be one after Him. He’s the One and Only. Forever.
