How and when we came to be, ages before this or any life we are born into

Proverbs 8:

22The Lord made me the beginning of his ways for his works.

23He established me before time was in the beginning, before he made the earth:

24even before he made the depths; before the fountains of water came forth:

25before the mountains were settled, and before all hills, he begets me.

26The Lord made countries and uninhabited tracks, and the highest inhabited parts of the world.

27When he prepared the heaven, I was present with him; and when he prepared his throne upon the winds:

28and when he strengthened the clouds above; and when he secured the fountains of the earth:

29and when he strengthened the foundations of the earth:

30I was by him, suiting myself to him, I was that wherein he took delight; and daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.

31For he rejoiced when he had completed the world, and rejoiced among the children of men.

32Now then, my son, hear me: blessed is the man who shall hearken to me, and the mortal who shall keep my ways;

34watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my entrances.

35For my outgoings are the outgoings of life, and in them is prepared favor from the Lord.

Ephesians 1

3Blessed [be]Yahuah and Father of our Lord Yeshua Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:  

4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:  

5Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Yeshua Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 

6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 

7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;  

8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;  

9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  

10That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:  

11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:  

12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  

13In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,  

14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Jeremiah 1:5King James Version (KJV)

⁵ Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
