Gen 1:1 is not only everlasting, but it's also everywhere.
†. Ps 19:1-4 . .The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
The pronouns "they" and "their" refer to the heavens and the skies.
Clouds, rain, snow, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, and hail, speak volumes-- sunrises and sunsets can be especially glorious at times; and who isn't awed by eclipses, aurora, comets, meteor showers, constellations, star clusters, and planetary motions?
Now; as beautiful and awe inspiring as the heavens and the skies can be, they aren't really meant for man's entertainment. Their primary purpose is to inform man that there is a mysterious someone out there above it all who designed the heavens and the skies-- constructed them, makes them work the way they do; and keeps them going.
In other words; this element of the everlasting gospel gets by just fine without a Bible and/or a Bible thumper. It doesn't need the voice of a human evangelist and/or the assistance of a translator. The heavens and the skies are illiterate; and yet eloquent. The are also multilingual-- there is nobody anywhere on earth unable to hear what the heavens and the skies have to say about a mysterious someone out there above it all who designed the heavens and the skies, constructed them, and makes them work the way they do.
