By The Word - Hebrews 11:3

Hebrews 11:3 ESV 

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

The invisible exists before our universe was created. God is eternally self existent before the word of our creation was spoken. The present of God came before the past and future of a time based world that we know. 

We are witnesses to this world. The light of God has entered that we might find our way to the invisible, to the Creator of all we see so we might witness what we cannot see on our own. We need telescopes to see beyond the limits of the naked eye. We need His word to see beyond the the limits of the natural, to become witnesses of the world to come.
