God is naturally present in every aspect of the natural order of things, in every manner, time and place (Isaiah 40:12 Nahum 1:3). But if we were to remove creation, God would still know of it, for He knows all possibilities, whether they are actual or not. No molecule or atomic particle is so small that God is not fully present to it, and no galaxy so vast that God does not circumscribe it. Although God is present in all time and space, God is not locally limited to any time or space. Omnipresence is God’s characteristic of being present to all ranges of both time and space. The Bible reveals that God can be both present to a person in a manifest manner (Psalm 46:1 Isaiah 57:15) and present in every situation in all of creation at any given time (Psalm 33:13-14). At times, He may be actively present in a situation, while He may not reveal that He is present in another circumstance in some other area. God’s presence is continuous throughout all of creation, though it may not be revealed in the same way at the same time to people everywhere. Although God is not totally immersed in the fabric of creation (pantheism), He is present everywhere at all times. In many religions, God is regarded as omnipresent, whereas in both Judaism and Christianity, this view is further subdivided into the transcendence and immanence of God. The prefix omni- originates in Latin and means “all.” So, to say that God is omnipresent is to say that God is present everywhere.
