“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He
was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life…”
John 1:1-4
Before there was a beginning, there was God. Everything that is was in God.
The Gospel of John tells us that all things were made by the Word.
Nothing that was created was made without the Word. In the Word was life. Life came out of God. Therefore, before you knew life, life was. All things were made by God. Everything you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch was in God before they came to be. Even what you discern first existed in God.
Now let me be a little ridiculous to prove my point. God had roaches and mosquitoes and rats in Him. He had suns and clouds and planets in Him. The cows to make shoe leather…the oil to run our cars…the ore from the mountains to make steel—all these things were in God. Everything on this earth is God’s property. If God would ever call in His property, we would be in big trouble. All things were in God and thus belong to Him. God, in the beginning when there was nothing, contained everything that man has seen. He also contained everything man will ever see.
Thus if you had talked to God on the highway of nothingness, you would have been talking to millions of cows and horses and mountains and trees and limousines and hotels and beaches. They all were in God. They were in Him, but no one saw them. That’s why we call God omnipotent. He’s always full of the potential to bring forth what you see. God is pregnant with the universe. In essence, if you met God on the highway of nothing, by the corner of nowhere, before there was anything, and you shook His hand, you would be shaking hands with everything, but would not know it. You would be with potential.
God is pregnant with the universe.
