There is no before and after in God
Spirituality
â⌠a Spaniard well known in the town was leaving Cartegena with a loose woman. Claverâs words, âI am sorry to see you travelling with the Devil,â checked him like an arrow to the heart. He got no farther than Turbaco. That night he was knocking at Claverâs door. He fell on his knees and told the story of his disordered life.â (Fr. Angel Valtierra, Peter Claver â Saint of the Slaves, 1960, pp. 210-211.)
Doctrine
St. Thomas Aquinas: âEverything that begins to be or ceases to be does so through motion or change.  Since, however, we have shown that God is absolutely immutable, He is eternal, lacking all beginning or end.  Those beings alone are measured by time that are moved.  For time, as is made clear in Physics IV, is âthe number of motion.â  But God, as has been proved, is absolutely without motion, and is consequently not measured by time.  There is, therefore, no before and after in Him.â (Summa Contra Gentiles, Book I, Chap. 15)
