When God Dwelt All Alone!

There was a time, if 'time' it could be called, when God dwelt all alone. There was no Heaven, where His glory is now particularly manifested. There was no earth to engage His attention. There were no angels to hymn His praises. There was no universe to be upheld by the word of His power. There was nothing, no one, but God; and that, not for a day, a year, or an age but "from all eternity." 

During eternity past, God was alone: self-contained, self-sufficient, self-satisfied, in need of nothing. Had a universe, had angels, had human beings been necessary to Him in any way they would have been called into existence from all eternity. 

The creating of them when He did, added nothing to God essentially. "I the Lord do not change" therefore His essential glory can be neither augmented nor diminished.
