CHAPTER II<br />

THE AUTHOR OF LIFE<br />

LIFE has always existed in the universe . <strong>This</strong><br />

is because God has always been . He has<br />

an eternal past, as he has also an eternal<br />

future, so that time measured by our clocks is<br />

as nothing to him . In inspired prayer the prophet<br />

Moses says : "LORD, thou hast been our dwelling<br />

place in all generations . Before the mountains<br />

were brought forth, or ever thou hadst<br />

formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting<br />

to everlasting, thou art God." Psalm<br />

90 :1,2 He had no beginning, and he will have<br />

no end. He challenges anyone to prove that there<br />

was any God before him . To those to whom he<br />

has revealed himself he says : "Ye are my witnesses,<br />

saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I<br />

have chosen ; that ye may know and believe me,<br />

and understand that I am he : before me there<br />

was no God formed, neither shall there be after<br />

me . I, even I, am Jehovah ; and besides me there<br />

is no saviour ." Isaiah 43 :10,11, ASV It is idle<br />

to ask, Who made God? It is undignifying to his<br />

Godship . He is the one original Creator, and not<br />

a creature . His endless past agrees with his being<br />

the only true God. "But Jehovah is the true God ;<br />

he is the living God, and an everlasting King ."<br />

-Jeremiah 10 :10, ASV.<br />
