As you know, philosophers always ask questions, but never answer them. Three great questions have been asked by philosophers in the history of mankind: Where do we come from? Where are we going? Why are we here? And so far there is no really satisfactory answer from any of them. However, in the Bible we have the word of God, and she will give us the answer. Genesis will tell us where we came from, Revelation will tell us where we are going, and from Exodus to the book of Judas we will be told why we are here.

The beginning of time Genesis is the book Alpha, Apocalypse is the book Omega, which correspond to the first and the last letter of the Greek alphabet. In the first book, the Alpha, we can know the will of God in eternity past, and know that God has a wonderful plan, which he will carry out. Then, time starts.

When the time begins, God began to work; and when he finishes his work, it will be the end of time. And here is a parenthesis. Before the parenthesis we have eternity past; and after the parenthesis, the future eternity. Moses said: «... from the century to the century (from eternity to eternity), you are God»

God is, from eternity to eternity. When the time begins, it is the Alpha, and when the time ends, it is the Omega. Now we place in the book of Genesis: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ..." - the first part of the parenthesis -, and when we reach Revelation we have "... a new heaven and a new earth ...". There will be no more tears, nor will there be more crying or pain. We will be kings with God forever. Before that happens, before entering into future eternity, there is another parenthesis, the book Omega - Apocalypse. In between, all the time from Exodus to Judas.

How do we know what happened in eternity past? Starting from Genesis, advancing to Revelation,
in his word, our Lord tells us everything, and today we have the universe, we have humanity, the church of Christ,
the spiritual battle and, when we look back, we can really discover what the eternal will of God is. And that is very important.

THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH FOR GOD

We will begin our journey from the first two chapters, starting with the phrase: «In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ... ». Now, something very interesting. In the beginning God created the universe, but that description is not from the scientific point of view. The scientific study of the universe always begins with the solar system, then we study our galaxy and then we see that there are millions and millions of galaxies like ours.

But here the Holy Spirit has been very careful in the use of words. When the Bible says that God created the universe, in some way, he divides the universe into two compartments, according to his plan, not according to the order of the material world, because somehow God is going to weigh all those planets. Although the planet Earth is very small, however, in the balance of God's heart, there is our planet on one side and the heavens on the other side.

Our Lord taught us to pray: "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as it is in heaven, so also on earth "(Matthew 6:10). Physically, we have the heavens and the earth, but now, what is God's desire in our prayer? May the will of God be done on earth. The earth has become very important, because, through our planet, the will of God can be done.

Eternity and our purpose
