ETERNITY
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
When a believer starts to think about eternity; like myself, it will blow your mind away because we as mortal people cannot fully understand what eternity is all about. We do know that as described in the above verse that God is eternal. God in other scriptures is described as the Alpha and Omega and also the Beginning and the End.
I want to introduce you to a new concept. We know that eternity has no beginning and has no end. God is described as one who had no beginning and will have no end. God has always existed and will always exist. We only know time. Time began in Genesis. Time will end in Revelation. But throughout time, eternity never changed and has always existed.
In John 3:16 God said that He loved the Whole World. Was that just for those who were living during the time of Jesus? No. God has loved everyone from Adam to the last person born. To illustrate draw a straight line from one edge of paper to the other edge of the paper symbolizing eternity with no beginning and no end. Then above that line write the words The Eternal God.
GOD THE ETERNAL
<-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Time |
Beginning | ---------------------| End
So the question is where is God in eternity right now? I believe our Eternal God is everywhere at once. God is in our past, present and future. Right now God is watching Adam and Eve to the last of Revelation when time will be no more. We as believers are described as Citizens of Heaven already. For us time as no value. Because when we accepted Jesus as our Savior and Lord we started to live an eternal life. Our Bodies may die, but our mind, soul, and spirit will instantly go into eternity with God
.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Think on these things today.

thank you that you always have been here and will always be here. Thank you that you take care of all things and that I don’t have to be afraid. Help me to remember that you are like a circle and that you have been and will always be the Eternal God.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
