Every moment in the past, present and future is known, seen and experienced fully by God. No moment in time becomes remote for God. No moment in time is only probable or possible. No moment in time is anticipated or hoped for. For God, past, present, future have full and equal existence. All of time is an eternal Now for God.
“I AM THAT I AM” communicates an eternal timelessness inconceivable to human experience. We exist in a fractional, fleeting, unquantifiable moment that we call “now”. But “now” becomes past as quickly as it arrived from the future. Most of our lives, considered from the point of view of experience, is either past or future. Memory and anticipation is our concept of ourselves and the world. The present moment is an almost non-existent thing.
For God, the situation is exactly opposite. I AM THAT I AM says, all moments are present for God. Every moment in the past, present and future is known, seen and experienced fully by God. No moment in time becomes remote for God. No moment in time is only probable or possible. No moment in time is anticipated or hoped for. For God, past, present, future have full and equal existence. All of time is an eternal Now for God.
