Our Omnificent God can hold the universe, from the beginning of time to the end of time, in the palm of His hand. Think of God creating, the infinite physical past of empty space, matter and energy, and, the infinite future of empty space, matter and energy, as God creating a six inch piece of yarn. Our Omni-Present to the whole of created physical time, Omnipotent, God, can create, modify and mold, the whole of physical time as if it were a six inch piece of yarn in the palm of His hand.
Before the week Adam was made, there was nothing. Before creation not even empty space existed. During the week Adam was made, not too many thousands of years ago, God brought into existence a universe with billions of years of past and billions of years of future, if not infinite, physical time. Time is the measurement of interaction between physical energy, matter and empty space; all of which our Spiritual God created. Our Spiritual God is not confined by physical time in any way. God is Omni-Present and Omnificent to the whole of physical time and creation. Our Spiritual God tells us, through prophecy, about future events in physical time and, through scriptures, our Spiritual God tells us when He altered the past of physical creation. God willed the creation of a free willed being who has the capacity to love Him. Physical creation is the home that our Spiritual God created for man. Our Creator creates outward into the infinite past and into the infinite future of physical creation from His focus point of free willed, love for God capable, man.
As a potter molds a pot, each day he works with his creation the whole pot grows and changes form. The pot maintains some aspects from the previous days of his work. The whole of creation, billions of years past and billions of years future, like a clay pot, must bend, change, mold and modify, to the awesome Power of our God's, Omni-Present to all physical time, Hand. The whole of creation can be thought of as a painting and God as the Painter. When God paints the new paint covers over the old. Creation is multi-dimensional. Where there was no woman with man, God repaints the whole of homosapien's existence where they are male and female man. Where the world did not have rainbows, after Noah landed the ark, now there are rainbows and science sees that there have always been rainbows. The physical past that Noah remembered, where men lived to be many hundreds of years old and where rainbows did not exist, is painted over by the brush of our God with the past that science now observes. Where man did not have to work, after original sin, now past, present and future creation is painted that man does have to work. During the week Adam was made, God took an empty canvas and painted into existence a universe with a past of hundreds of trillions, if not infinite, years. (GENESIS)
Creation is God's tool for growing a kingdom of love. At the center of creation are free willed, love for God capable, beings, God named man. Through the blood of Jesus, saints eternally begotten of God, flow out from the garden of creation into spiritual unity with God in heaven. Those who love God through free will on physical earth are begotten into spiritual life to live in omni-presence with God for all eternity. Harvesting free willed beings, who are fruitful with love for God, into the eternal Kingdom of God, is God's goal in all creation.
God's goal in all of creation is to have free-willed beings who love Him. In a week long series of construction and alterations to past and future physical existence, God finished the new home built to house the free-willed, love for God capable being He creates on the sixth day. God was not sitting around waiting for hundreds of trillions of years before Adam was created. Creation flows outward from the week of the creation of Adam to all past, present and future physical time. Adam's choice to sin causes a very different past, present and future creation to flow out from the point in physical time of his sin.
What separates man from everything else in creation is that man is free from the will of God in order to freely choose the will of God which is love for God. Other than free-willed beings' disobedience to the will of God, everything else in creation is exactly as God commands it to be. If homosapiens flow out forward into the past from the creation of Adam, they still would not be man. Only Adam, his descendents, and Jesus, conceived in the flesh by the power of the Holy Spirit, are man. The first free-willed, love for God capable, physical being, God named man.
Jesus in the free-willed flesh is not bonded to the Father's will (LUK 22:42). As man, Jesus freely and obediently loves the Father and fellow man by freely obeying the commandments and by freely choosing to go to His death on the cross. Our Omni-present God lives outside of creation and time. Upon Jesus death and resurrection, Jesus is eternally begotten of God and He too now lives outside of physical creation and physical time as Omni-Present God for all past, present and future eternal time. Still, Jesus as man has free-will. Jesus is both fully Omni-Present Eternal God and fully free-willed man during his life in the flesh on earth.
He who is throned in heaven laughs; the LORD derides them; Then in anger he speaks to them; he terrifies them in his wrath: "I myself have set up my king on Zion, my holy mountain. I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: The LORD said to me, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will give you the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession. You shall rule them with an iron rod: you shall shatter them like an earthen dish.'"
"We ourselves announce to you the good news that what God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us, their children, in raising up Jesus, according to what is written in the second psalm, You are my son; this day I have begotten you."
John wishes you grace and peace--from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the first-born from the dead and ruler of the kings of earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his own blood, who has made us a royal nation of priests in the service of his God and Father--to him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen.
Before His death, Jesus tells us of the power of our Spiritual God in that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are all alive in heaven. They live in spiritual omni-presence with Jesus and the Father even before Jesus death and resurrection happens in physical time. Jesus tells us that the dead rise again and that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are not dead but they are alive. Jesus knows that He is the First Born and that they resurrect into omni-present eternal life through Him and after Him. Spiritual Abraham, Spiritual Isaac and Spiritual Jacob, all begotten of God, live in omni-presence with our eternally begotten Lord Jesus Christ for all physical time before creation to after the end of physical time. Abraham is in heaven with Jesus and he can see Jesus holding all of creation, from infinite physical past to infinite physical future, in the palm of His Hand. Physical Abraham, physical Isaac and physical Jacob must wait in death until after Jesus resurrection to be raised from the dead into eternal, omni-present to all physical time, life, through the blood of their Savior Jesus Christ. Once eternal begotten of God into spiritual life, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, live in heaven in omni-presence to the whole of physical time from before Christ's death and resurrection to before the creation of the universe.
Then some Sadducees who hold there is no resurrection came to him with a question ...\\...12:24 Jesus said: "You are badly misled, because you fail to understand the Scriptures or the power of God . When people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage but live like angels in heaven. As to the raising of the dead, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God told him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob'? He is the God of the living not of the dead, You are very much mistaken."
Moses in the passage about the bush showed that the dead rise again when he called the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. God is not the God of the dead but of the living. All are alive for him.
Understanding the difference between spiritual life, which is omni-present to all physical time, verses the constraints of physical time on physical life, gives us a clear vision of how physical creation, with billions of years of past, flows out from when our Spiritual God created Adam, only a few thousand or at most tens of thousands of years ago. When the Son and the saints are eternally begotten of God they are now omni-present to all physical time and all multi-dimensions of physical creation. Similarly, when, Omni-present to all physical time, God creates, creation, past, present and future, flows into existence from a specific point in physical time. God tells us the specific point in physical time which creation flowed out from the spiritual world to the physical world and it was at the time of Adam.
The true beginning of creation is at Christ's eternal birth upon His death and resurrection. Through Christ's cross, resurrection and eternal birth, now Omni-present, eternal Christ lives from before creation and He assists creation into existence.
(Jesus speaks after his death and resurrection.)"I have given you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. Do you now, Father, give me glory at your side, a glory I had with you before the world began."
He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creatures. In him everything in heaven and on earth was created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominations, principalities, or powers; all were created through him, and for him. He is before all else that is. In him everything continues in being. It is he who is head of the body, the church; he who is the beginning, the first-born of the dead, so that primacy may be his in everything. It pleased God to make absolute fullness reside in him and, by means of him, to reconcile everything in his person, both on earth and in the heavens, making peace through the blood of his cross.
Exaltation of Christ as Omni-present eternally begotten Lord, salvation of Adam-kind, all the fruit of free willed gifts of love for God from the Son and the Saints, and even creation, all flow out from Christ's resurrection. From God our Father's point of reference, all that means the most to Him flows out from the cross and resurrection of His only Son, our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
People get so caught up in thinking of life on other planets that they neglect what they should be doing here and now on earth. God only has one Son and all others coming into eternal life must come through God's One Son. If there is free-willed life on other planets then these sinners can only enter into eternal life through our, and their, eternal Savior Jesus Christ. If there are free-willed aliens, then alien mothers are kissing their babies to sleep singing to them of the praises of their Savior Jesus Christ who died for their sins on a planet called earth. The Church of our Lord Jesus Christ is Universal Church. As part of the Universal Church of Jesus Christ, use free-will gifted to human kind to choose to love the Lord our God with all your heart, with all your strength, with all your mind and with all your soul.
