Whatever came first is true. Truth is from the beginning.

Eternity

Eternity, for instance, presents in an instant the future, the present, and also the past of time. Clement of Alexandria (c. 195, E), 2.313

Eternity has no time. It is itself all time. Tertullian (c. 207, W), 3.276

This is spoken to Him by God, with whom all time is today. For there is no evening with God, . . . and there is no morning. There is nothing but time that stretches out, along with His unbeginning and unseen life. Origen (c. 228, E), 9.314

Our resurrection is the beginning of the future age and the end of this one. For in that age, there is neither past nor future, but only the present. Methodius (c. 290, E), 6.378
