Безначальность

Man, do not imagine the visible as beginningless, and from the fact that bodies moving in the sky describe circles, and in a circle our sense cannot notice a beginning at first glance, do not conclude that the nature of rotating bodies is beginningless. Yes, and this circle, that is, an outline described on a plane by one line, we should not assume to be without beginning because it runs away from our senses, and we cannot find where it began and where it ended. On the contrary, although this escapes our sense, in reality, whoever described a circle from the center and at a certain distance, no doubt started it from somewhere. So, when you see that bodies describing circles return to their previous position, by the uniformity and continuity of their movement, do not hold yourself in that false thought that the world is beginningless and endless. For the image of this world passes away (1 Cor. 7:31), and: heaven and earth will pass away (Matthew 24:35) (2). You might be interested in:
