God was there before the things in the universe that work in time and form what we call time existed. It was in this arche - this beginning - when only the primary things - God and from God His Word, His Son, His Son of Man, existed - these were necessarily preceding all things because all things submit the the authority of what precedes them - arche - beginning. The Son is that arche (Rev 3:14) http://biblehub.com/text/revelation/3-14.htm and time itself owes homage to Him who preceded time: "Before Abraham was, I am" - His "I am" shows He is greater than time itself because He precedes time. Believe this and you will live. If not, if you never believe it you will die in your sins. (John 8)
