The universe is actually a continuum of space, matter and time. They are interconnected and no one can
have a meaningful existence without the other two. For example, matter is understood to include
energy but must exist in space and through time. Space is measurable only in the matter that exists
within it and the events that occur within its boundaries. Likewise time is only important in terms of the
entities and events that exist within its continuum. It is interesting to note that the Godhead is a tri-
unity and the universe that was created was a tri-unity of space-mass-time. Note that the universe is
not part space part mass and part time, but rather it is all space, all mass, all time and so it is a true tri-
unity.

An accurate paraphrase of Genesis 1:1 would be, “The transcendent omnipotent Godhead called into
existence the space-mass-time universe.”
