The Attributes of God - Eternity

John Ball writes:
In the French copy of the Bible that I read now and again, the Lord is usually called the Eternal. I don't know if this is a more accurate or a less accurate translation of the original Hebrew than the more usual 'the Lord', but it certainly distinguishes God from his earthly creation.
Everything here is finite. It has a beginning, a middle and an end.
But God is eternal.
God declares to Moses that his name is 'I am' or 'I am that I am'.
Jesus declares, 'Before Abraham was I Am.'
For us, prisoners of time and space, eternity is a concept that is hard to grasp. Perhaps only when we contemplate the unceasing sea or the distant sky to we get an idea.
Within God are all things. His eternity is not an eternal rest. He is the Living God.
Human language struggles to convey this quality of eternity, something we cannot know.
The Gospel according to John states, 'In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.'
As near as possible, for our limited understanding, the Evangelist describes God's living Eternity.
