Mans days are but days of time. God is said, To inhabit eternity (Isa. 57.15.) that is, he is fixed in eternity, he is without beginning, and without end, yea his days are without succession of days. All the days of God are but a day. Not only are a thousand years to him as one day, but eternity is to him as one day. All that God doth, is said to be done to day; Thou art my son, to day have I begotten thee (Psal. 2.7.) yet he speaks (say some) of the eternal generation of the Son: or, as it referreth to the resurrection of Christ (so the Apostle expounds it, Act. 13.33.) God calls that time, To day, though it came a long time after: all is present with God; Past and to come in relation to God, is neither past nor to come, all is now or to day. That was not past to God, which never had beginning, the eternal generation of his Son: nor was that to come to God which was always before him: The temporal resurrection of his Son, To day have I begotten thee, is the most proper stile for God.
Mans daies are but daies of time. God is said, To inhabit eternity (Isa. 57.15.) that is, he is fixed in eternity, he is without beginning, and without end, yea his daies are without succession of daies. All the daies of God are but a day. Not only are a thousand years to him as one day, but eternity is to him as one day. All that God doth, is said to be done to day; Thou art my sonne, to day have I begotten thee (Psal. 2.7.) yet he speaks (say some) of the eternall generation of the Son: or, as it referreth to the resurrection of Christ (so the Apostle expounds it, Act. 13.33.) God cals that time, To day, though it came a long time after: all is present with God; Past and to come in relation to God, is neither past nor to come, all is now or to day. That was not past to God, which never had beginning, the eternall generation of his Son: nor was that to come to God which was alwaies before him: The temporall resurrection of his Son, To day have I begotten thee, is the most proper stile for God.
