The Paradox Of Eternal

The Paradox Of Eternal 

1John 2:25 

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 

Jesus said;

Rev 22:13

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 

Since you are an eternal spirit, in God, from God, and living through God. Having eternal life, have you not been with him all along in his eternity in some capacity for example consciousness? 

Eternal means there is no beginning and there is no end, yet God says he is the beginning and the end. If your eternal, what is being said?

Breaking down Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end, and first and last from the Greek;

Alpha;

G1 Α Of Hebrew origin; the first letter of the alphabet: figuratively only (from its use as a numeral) the first.

Beginning;

G746 ἀρχή From G756; (properly abstract) a commencement, or (concrete) chief (in various applications of order, time, place or rank): – beginning, corner, (at the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule.

G4253 πρό A primary preposition; “fore”, that is, in front of, prior (figuratively superior) to. In compounds it retains the same significations: – above, ago, before, or ever.

First;

G4413 πρῶτος Contracted superlative of G4253; foremost (in time, place, order or importance): – before, beginning, best, chief (-est), first (of all), former.

From the definition of “beginning”, “the first estate”;

Jude 1:6

And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

John 16:4 

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

He was with you because you were with him. With who?

Eph 3:9 

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 

John 1:1 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

Pro 8:22-31 

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. 

Omega;

G5598 Ω The last letter of the Greek alphabet, that is, (figuratively) the finality: – Omega.

The end;

G5056 τέλος From a primary word τέλλω tellō (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid). Compare G5411.

Last;

G2078 ἔσχατος A superlative probably from G2192 (in the sense of contiguity); farthest, final (of place or time): – ends of, last, latter end, lowest, uttermost.

G2192 ἔχω A primary verb (including an alternate form σχέω scheō skheh’-o used in certain tenses only); to hold (used in very various applications, literally or figuratively, direct or remote; such as possession, ability, contiguity, relation or condition).

The “last” is seen as to “hold out” (possess) to the farthest of place or time, which is eternity.

1John 1:1 

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

Created souls have;

“Looked upon” and “seen with our eyes”, from your “first estate”, “from the beginning” “before his works of old”, “set up from everlasting”, “when he prepared the heavens”, when he appointed the foundations of the earth”, souls were “by him, brought up by him”.

Now you can ask yourself where you “think” you were prior to awareness of this flesh life.
