Awesome article! Understanding the extent to which everything we know is dependent on God is always humbling. I fully believe that God exists outside of space and time, however something that I have always struggled with, is that in the Old Testament much of the wording seems like it is describing a God bound by time, even if he maybe foresees things. It describes things in terms of "people did this and then God reacted and did that, and then the king did this, and then God did that...". I know that God is fully outside of time but I struggle with reconciling this with the way God is described in the Old Testament. Curious if you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks, Daniel, for reading! And that’s a great question. I think have addressed it in my articles on God’s eternity, immutability, and impassability.
In short, I think it’s would be best to see that God, according to his eternal plan, has ordained all things that will come to pass, including all of his dealings with his creatures.
