This makes no actual sense...
NASB -Jude 25
to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
To say 'to him be glory before all time' is a contradictory thought. Because for God to receive glory involves time. One point in time where there was less glory to a point in time where there is more glory. Before there is time there can not be movement through time (from glory to glory). Plus the glory received or given to God would be from his creation in time- not before all time. Simply because all creation can only be in time.
Plus, what is dominion and authority before creation? And why would one in time express desire that there be glory, majesty, dominion and authority to God before time?
Therefore the NASB reading is nonsense.
KJV -Jude 25
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
