We begin our study of the book of beginnings way back at the beginning of time.  Nothing existed except an eternal God who has no beginning (Psalm 90:2).  He has always existed.  He has no beginning and no end.  Think about this for just a moment.  We, who have always existed within time, find it difficult to imagine a God who exists out of time.  Such is the nature of God.  His existence exceeds our boundaries.  Many people try to make God fit into molds they have designed for Him or make Him be what they want Him to be.  As we proceed on this study through Genesis, put away your preconceived ideas of who God is and we will encounter a God who is far beyond our comprehension in so many ways.
