In the great expanse of eternity which stretches behind Genesis 1:1; the universe was unborn and creation existed only in the mind of the Great Creator. In His sovereign majesty God dwelt all alone. We refer to that far distant period before the heavens and the earth were created. There were then no angles to hymn God’s praises, non creatures to occupy His notice, no rebels to be brought into subjection. The great God was all alone - living in an awful silence of His own vast universe. But even at that time, if time it could be called, God was sovereign. He might create or no create according to His own good pleasure. He might create this way or that way; He might create one world or one million worlds, and who was there to resist His will?
