Time – Eternity Past, Past, Present and Future, Eternity Future<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Eternity Past, Present, and Future are concepts that describe the idea that time is infinite and has no beginning or end.<\/td><\/tr>
Time is represented as being: Throughout Eternity Past, Past, Present, Future, and Throughout Eternity Future.<\/td><\/tr>
Man only lives in Present time. Jesus has lived from Eternity Past. God has always existed.<\/td><\/tr>
Eternity Past<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
In Eternity Past, God planned and purposed <\/td><\/tr>
In John 1:1, “the beginning” refers to Eternity in the Past <\/td><\/tr>
From Eternity Past, Christ was God, but not yet a man <\/td><\/tr>
Eternity Future<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
In Eternity Future, everything will have been accomplished <\/td><\/tr>
In John 1:51, the Lord Jesus told Nathanael about the Future <\/td><\/tr>
John 1:51 And He [Jesus] saith unto him [Nathanael], Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and THE ANGELS OF GOD ASCENDING AND DESCENDING upon the Son of man.<\/td><\/tr>
In Eternity Future, Christ will be both God and man <\/td><\/tr>
Eternity and existence <\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
A being can exist eternally if it is Omni-temporal, meaning it exists at every point in time<\/td><\/tr>
A being can also exist eternally if it is timeless, meaning it exists outside of time<\/td><\/tr>
Eternity and God <\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith [God] the HIGH AND LOFTY ONE that INHABITETH ETERNITY, whose Name [is] Holy; I dwell in the HIGH AND HOLY [PLACE], with Him [Jesus] also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.<\/td><\/tr>
Some Biblical passages suggest that God transcends time<\/td><\/tr>
What is the difference between Eternity Past and Eternity Future?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
In Eternity Past there was no humanity, and there was no dwelling place for God. <\/td><\/tr>
In Eternity Future there will be humanity, and God will have a dwelling place. John 1 reveals the two sections of eternity.<\/td><\/tr>
Jesus has existed from Eternity Past<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
John 1:1,3,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with [the] God, and the Word was God. [the] occurs in the the Greek Textus Receptus (otherwise known as the Received Text) of the New Testament.\u2026 [3] All things were made by HIM [Christ [Ms25-1898]]; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.\u2026 [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, AND DWELT AMONG US, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER,) full of grace and truth. [The word begotten means derived from something which is already in existence.]<\/td><\/tr>
Our Saviour came to earth and \u201cbecame flesh and made His dwelling among us\u201d over two thousand years ago. This is called His incarnation. But this divine Person had already existed from Eternity Past. He was known as \u201cthe Word,\u201d the second person of the Holy Godhead. As the apostle John wrote, \u201cthe Word [Jesus] was with God, and the Word [Jesus] was [the] God.\u201d He was with God the Father from Eternity Past. “In the beginning” He already “was.” We know His earthly, God-given name as \u201cJesus\u201d (Matthew 1:21).<\/td><\/tr>
Not only was the Word (Jesus) \u201cwith\u201d God, but the Scripture also declares that He \u201cwas God,\u201d thus declaring Jesus\u2019 full deity, which is reinforced by dozens of other Bible verses. And in His unlimited, Omnipotent divinity, Jesus the Word created all things (verse 3). The apostle Paul confirmed that God the Father \u201ccreated all things by Jesus Christ\u201d (Ephesians 3:9).<\/td><\/tr>
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in GOD, who CREATED all things by JESUS CHRIST:<\/td><\/tr>
Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall HE [Jesus] come forth unto ME [God] [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING. [Matthew 2:5-6, John 7:42] [Note: FROM OF OLD, FROM EVERLASTING \u2013 but it DOES NOT SAY THROUGH ALL ETERNITY. The Spirit of Prophecy speaks of a future period of time THROUGH ALL ETERNITY.]<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
