Genesis 1:0

Our Scripture today is Genesis 1: verse 1.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

Every now and then, I stumble upon a thought so captivating that I must share it. Today, that thought is Genesis 1: verse 0. Yes, you read that correctly—Genesis 1:0. Have you ever considered the verse before Genesis 1:1?

It exists, but it requires the eyes of faith to see it. Here it is: Genesis 1: verse 0, “In the beginning, God was already there!”

This is evident because God created the heavens and the earth, so naturally, He existed before the beginning.

Skeptics might argue that this isn’t scientific. However, it is. As Christians, we might have debated the “Big Bang Theory,” but even that theory acknowledges a beginning—a start to time and matter. Genesis 1:1 states that God created time and matter. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that before Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God was already there.”

God does not begin when the beginning begins. He began the beginning!

There is a verse zero. You just need the eyes of faith to see it. 

Don’t make the mistake of locking God into the Bible. God is bigger than the beginning. In fact, the beginning came out of him.

Thanks to this unknown fellow who showed me Genesis 1:0.
