Tertullian

“ For when He speaks of all power and all judgment, and says that all things were made by Him, and all things have been delivered into His hand, He allows no exception (in respect) of time, because they would not be all things unless they were the things of all time. It is the Son, therefore, who has been from the beginning administering judgment, throwing down the haughty tower, and dividing the tongues, punishing the whole world by the violence of waters, raining upon Sodom and Gomorrah fire and brimstone, as the Lord from the Lord. ”

“ For “the Father who loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand,” [1] loves Him indeed from the beginning, and from the very first has handed all things over to Him. Whence it is written, “From the beginning the Word was with God, and the Word was God;” [2] to whom “is given by the Father all power in heaven and on earth.” [3] “The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son” [4] —from the very beginning even. ”

“ For as it was on our account and for our learning that these events are described in the Scriptures, so for our sakes also were they done— (even ours, I say) , “upon whom the ends of the world are come.” [6] In this way it was that even then He knew full well what human feelings and affections were, intending as He always did to take upon Him man’s actual component substances, body and soul, making inquiry of Adam (as if He were ignorant) , [7] “Where art thou, Adam?” [8] —repenting that He had made man, as if He had lacked foresight; [9] tempting Abraham, as if ignorant of what was in man ”
