That which was from the beginning…

This is what I saw a while back and am seeing have been seeing over and over…it doesn’t go away. It gets deeper.

1 John 1:1 “That which was from the beginning….”

The root of the word “was” means ‘to be, to exist, to happen, to be present.’
The word “was” is in imperfect indicative tense. Greek Reference: https://www.preceptaustin.org/new_page_40.htm

The IMPERFECT tense can often paint a vivid picture of an action (a veritable “motion picture”) which is repeated in the past — the idea is that  the action happens over & over & over — in Acts 16:7 Luke uses the IMPERFECT tense to portray Paul attempting to enter Bithynia, being hindered in some way by the Holy Spirit & yet trying again & again to enter!

I think if I understand this correctly He was, was, was, was, was…into infinity, and we were, were, were, were. But He IS, is, is, is…and we are, are, are, are in Him. He constantly IS in us and were constantly ARE in Him. Essentially, He is over and over again in eternity. He always has been.
