No one created God - he has always existed. We can't understand this because everything that we know has a beginning or an end. Each day has a morning and night; basketball games have an opening tip-off and a final buzzer; people are born and they die. But God has no beginning or end. He always was and always will be
This question is one of the most often asked questions there is. The problem comes in assuming that God is restricted to our "time" just as we are.
We live in one dimension of time, like a man walking a straight line. There was a past, there is a present, there will be a future on this line of time. We are all used to this; it is all we know.
But recently astronomers have determined that our universe of matter, energy, space, and time had a beginning. This means that time was created. All that is in this universe is restricted to that time. But the Creator has to, by definition, be outside of this time. He has at least two dimensions of time, if not dozens, if not hyperdimensions of time. Bottom line: His realm need not have beginnings and ends. It is possible that He just is (c.f. His insistence on the title I AM, not I WAS or I WILL BE).
Of all the holy books, the Bible is alone in this claim that time is created and that God is beyond it. It is stated clearly in Titus 1:2 and in II Timothy 1:9. The Bible declares that the grace of God we now experience was in effect before the beginning of time. The Bible unabashedly declares that God has no beginning, no end, and works outside of time to relate to humans imprisoned in their one dimension of time.

The Bible indicates that God always existed.
Having said that, he is referred to sometimes as coming from heaven (or from the third heaven -- which is the phrase used by the Biblical writers to indicate God's dwelling place).
Cordially,
John

It really doesn't matter what the Bible says because it is a flawed, man-made, group of books written by questionable authors. I do not believe Gad had anything to do with the Bible or any other book or religion.

In the beginning, the alpha and the omega. Always existed, always will.
