Where was God before creation of Heaven and Earth?

By: Dr Constancio Ada

The question of where God was before creating the universe is a complex one that touches on the nature of God, time, and existence. According to biblical teachings, God existed from eternity past, before the creation of heaven and earth. His eternal nature, omnipresence, and self-existence affirm that He is not bound by time or space .

Understanding God's Existence

• Eternal Nature: God has always existed, and His existence is not limited by time or space. Psalm 90:2 declares, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or    ever You hadformed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God".


• Self-Existence: God is described as self-sufficient and independent of anything else for His existence. In Exodus 3:14, God reveals Himself to Moses as "I AM    WHO I AM", signifying that God's existence is not contingent upon anything else .

• God's Presence in Creation: The Bible affirms that God was present in His creation from the first instant. Genesis 1:2 describes the Spirit of God as "hovering    over the surface of the waters".

• Jesus and the Holy Spirit: The preincarnate Christ was intimately united with the Father, and the Holy Spirit was also present before creation. John 1:1 states, "In    the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" .

Time and Creation

• Time Created with the Universe: Time is a created entity that began with the universe. God's existence is completely separate from the history of the universe,    which started in Genesis 1:1.

• God's Relationship with Time: God exists outside of time, and His power is not limited by time. He is eternal, and His existence is not bound by the same    rules as humans  .
