God is eternal and never had a beginning or creator to make Him. Unlike angels, humans, or animals, He is the only Being that was never born or created. Because He had no starting point (creation) and will have no ending point (death), there is nothing that was before Him nor will there be anything or anyone after Him—because there will never be an after God! Because God’s essence (what makes Him divine) is changeless (which is why He stays eternal), He will never age or get old or run out of energy. He is the only perfect Being or thing in existence. God reveals His name as ‘YHWH’ (from Heb. verb hayah, ‘to be’) meaning ‘I am who/that I am—the one who is/will be’, hinting at His eternal, changeless nature (Ex. 3:14). No matter when it is, the God who is, is!
