In the beginning means the dateless past, when God Almighty created the heavens and the earth. At the end of Genesis 1:1, there is a complete creation! God, as creator of the earth, is the original owner. King David, Israel's prophet, poet, and warrior statesman, writes; "The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein." (Psalm 24:1).
