Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. NKJV Eternity might be viewed as the measure of the state of immutability.
Immutability is the underlying attribute.
Immutability is the essence or the attribute. If God is not eternal, than He is not immutable and therefore is not God. Because God is eternal and immutable, the covenants He makes with man stand on an unbreakable foundation. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. The background of this page is the Hebrew name of God which has found its way into English translations as Jehovah .
