Where was God before the creation of heaven and earth?
Since God is omnipresent (i.e. present everywhere – See Psalm 139:7-12), He was present “everywhere.” Of course, prior to the creation of the universe, it’s difficult to know precisely what this might mean. However, since God is eternal, He has always existed; since He is omnipresent, He has always existed “everywhere” (whatever this might mean). Question #3: Does this mean that Jesus is the Father also? No; Jesus is the incarnate Son of God. The Father and Son are both God, but they are distinct Persons within the Godhead. John 1:1 helps us to see this. Notice that the Word (God the Son) was WITH God (i.e. the Father). This implies a distinction between the Father and the Son. But we also read that the Word WAS God. This implies that the Son, like the Father, is fully God. This obviously leads us into the mystery of the Trinitarian nature of God. God is one in essence, but subsists as three distinct Persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

He began his creation with the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit who, with God, form the Paradise Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit And before that, God IS, and always has been. I can’t pretend to understand this…God is, above all, quite a mystery. Trying to understand these kinds of mysteries is largely an exercise in futility, as we are time-space creatures, and we think in linear time constraints. The universal Father is infinite, and not at all limited by either time or space. So, trying to understand his ways are difficult indeed for us mere mortals. But I do know that God is love, and he created the Eternal Son as an expression of that love, as well as the Infinite Spirit. From this Trinity – who are all equally God – sprang all else – all of the Universe of Universes. And the Universal Father she
