Try another passage to give context to the others:

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/psalms/90-2.htm
    http://biblehub.com/text/psalms/90-2.htm
    http://biblehub.com/lexicon/psalms/90-2.htm
    2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed
      the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou
      art God.

We read in Genesis 1 when the Earth was formed:

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/genesis/1.htm
    1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

So aligning with Psalms 90:2, and Genesis 1:1, God was before anything
in His creation was.  You can also read the YLT Young's Literal Translation
to read in English the order or true intent of the original Hebrew, Aramaic,
or Greek phrasing.  The words in the original language are sometimes
arranged differently, which can also convey explicit meaning beyond mere
word use.

Or you can go with the Greek:

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/22-13.htm
    13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
       last.

-----
We can't just take one passage and run with it.  The Bible is a whole
assemblage of the written revelation of God given to man throughout our
history.  It must be studied.  And for all who would step forward and
be a teacher on the subject, it is wise to remember two things:

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/2_timothy/2-15.htm
    15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
       not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

And:

    http://biblehub.com/kjv/james/3-1.htm
    1 My brethren, be not many masters [teachers], knowing that we shall
      receive the greater condemnation.

It is a hefty thing to step up in this world and speak the teachings of
the Lord.  It is not to be entered in to lightly.  It has consequences
that are to be considered because the damage done by one who was taught
by a teaching of you, is credited back to you, and all they teach, and
so on.

We must study to rightly divide the word of truth, and then we open our
mouths to teach.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin
