‘Now’, any sort of ‘Now’, including an Eternal ‘Now’ is a temporal concept and God is not confined by any dimension, much less Time.

Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

‘Now’, any sort of ‘Now’, including an Eternal ‘Now’ is a temporal concept and God is not confined by any dimension, much less Time.

The Jewish mystics use the Name "Ayn Sof" for God the Creator ex nihilo. It literally means "no thing."

The concept is that mortal language tends to attach properties which it should not - no such terms (time, space, etc.) apply to God.

I often remark that eternity is merely time without end. The counting continues. The term "timeless" is more appropriate in our meditations on His Name, I AM.
