10. The Being of God or of Jehovah 1. We read, "I am the First and the last, Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come." "In Him we live and move." "From Myself I have created all things." All things are from Him, thence all things are in Him, and all things must turn toward Him, as the surface turns to that which is opposite to it. Those who turn themselves away, are indeed from God, but they are not in God; they are snatched away as it were from the surface; they gyrate in a circle, and are desirous of becoming gods. 2. The essence of God is love and wisdom, and through both of them are omnipotence and omnipresence. He is like the sun of this world, through which He created the natural universe, in which we are and live as to our body; the essence of which is heat and light; and by these two its power and its presence are caused. 3. God is the sun of the created universe; the heat that proceeds from Him is love, and the light wisdom. 4. Immensity without space, and eternity without time are especially His Being.
