Before the Beginning

Above the vast span of endless darkness, a brilliant light beams with an iridescent splendor. Streaked with an array of colors, prisms from that marvelous light cascade downward and pierce the blackness. In the midst of that kaleidoscopic glow sits a foursquare city. No variation of darkness plagues the city because its glorious illumination is impenetrable. The city is walled off by twelve pearl sealed gates. Three on each of the city's four jewel encrusted walls. Within the walls of the city resides a royal throne room. The throne seat is high and lifted up on an altar. It is occupied by the self-existent God. The Alpha and the Omega. The one who is reverently known as The Great I AM.
