Is God Timeless

Genesis 1:1

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

1.  Creation is exists of three things

1.1.       Time: "In the beginning"

1.2.       Space: "heaven"

1.3.       Matter: "earth"

2.  All this was created by God who existed prior to creation.

2.1.       "In the beginning God" implies God preexisted time

3.  A non-corporeal (Spirit) being made a corporeal (Physical) Universe and everything in it and that which pertains to it whatever that might be.  Jesus said; John 4:24 " God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

3.1.       A spirit does not take up time and space

3.2.       A corporeal does take up extension of time and space

3.3.       God is not dependent on time, space or matter (the Universe)

3.4.       God created time space and matter (the Universe)

3.5.       Therefore all of creation is God's dependent; Colossians 1:17 "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."

John 1:1-3

"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."

1.  In the beginning was the Word

1.1.       at the creation of time

1.2.       time is the first of created things

2.  the Word was with God

2.1.       here we see the Word and God

3.  the Word was God

3.1.       here it is revealed that God is God and the Word is God

4.  The same was in the beginning with God

4.1.       and that fact preexisted the beginning

5.  All things were made by him

5.1.       God by the Word God created all things

6.  without him was not anything made that was made

6.1.       and by the Word only

7.  There was nothing corporeal before God the Father created by Jesus the Word, God the Son, 

Hebrews Chapter One

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, and let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"

God does not change and He created time and encompasses time, therefore he is God of time and he is not dependent on time.  Heb 13:9 "Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines."

Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

Revelation 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending..."

Revelation 1:11 "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:"

Revelation 21:6 "And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end."

Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."

Since God is non-corporeal, that is he does not take up extension of time and space, it is not possible to measure time and space in, around or through Him. Time is only existent in creation not before and possibly not after.
