Conclusion of Who Made God?

Why do we find this idea difficult to grasp?  Because our limited life span gives us a completely different concept of time from that of Jehovah. Because God is eternal, to him a thousand years are like a day. (2 Peter 3:8) To illustrate:  Could a grasshopper, which lives as an adult for only about 50 days, fathom our life span of 70 or 80 years?  Hardly, Yet, the Bible explains that we are like grasshoppers in comparison with our Grand Creator. Even our ability to reason is dwarfed by his.  (Isaiah 40:22; 55:8, 9)  So it is not surprising that  there are aspects of Jehovah's nature that escape full human understanding.

Although the concept of an eternal God may be hard to grasp, we can see that it makes sense. If someone else had created God, that person would be the Creator. Yet, as the Bible explains, Jehovah is the one who "created all things." (Revelation 4:11) Furthermore, we know that the universe at one time did not exist.  (Genesis 1:1, 2) Where did it come from? Its Creator had to exist first. He also existed before there were any other intelligent beings, such as his only-begotten Son and the angels. (Job 38:4, 7; Colossians 1:15) Clearly, then, he existed alone first.  He could not have been created; nothing was in existence that could have created him.

Our own existence and that of the entire universe testifies to the existence of an eternal God.  The One who put our vast universe in motion, the One who establishes the laws to control it, must have always existed. Only he could have breathed life into everything else. -Job 33:4.
