Musick-al note # 139
God is! The Bible does not try to prove the existence of God nor try to reveal His beginning. Men have striven to prove that “God” is only the result of the prehistoric superstitions of man. This does not reveal anything about God, but only that man strives to eliminate the necessity of obeying God and the realization that every man will come to be judged by Him.
God is! The Bible begins with that fact. The Bible is the revelation of God to man to guide man throughout life that man may be blessed in eternity. He (God) reveals Himself to man while doing so. Notice these verses. Psalms 90:1-2 Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you <are> God.” Isaiah 57:15 “for thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” What does it mean to inhabit eternity? I admit that I do not know all the answers, but God seems to be saying that He inhabited eternity before, during and after time. Further, that eternity was before time began, surrounded all of time and continues after time is gone. Then He has already inhabited eternity after time is over! Consider such passages as Revelation 13:8, “The lamb slain from the foundation of the world”, John 8:58, “Before Abraham was, I AM”, Isaiah 46:10, “declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done”. God is! He is eternal. He is the creator of all things, both in heaven and on earth and at His word ‘time will be no more’. We should not deceive ourselves, He knows us. Every one of us! He will bring us into judgment in the last day and we will be judged by the Word of Christ which He has given to man (John 12:48-50). All will be there and receive judgment (Matthew 25:31-46). On that day the kingdom (church) will be given to God (1 Corinthians 15:24).
