Was there ever a time when God existed as a singular being surrounded by absolute nothingness?

I don't believe that anything can exist outside of the eternal infinite (God being the eternal infinite) so no. There simply isn't any room for other.
Good response.No. God isn't a being; God is Being.

Or 'absolute nothingness' is what we erroneously term as God?Was there ever a time when God existed as a singular being surrounded by absolute nothingness?
I tend to believe along the lines taught by Rabbi Isaac Luria: that prior to Creation, only God existed, and there was room for nothing else to exist, not even nothingness. In order to make Creation possible, God had to contract Himself, in order to form an empty space wherein His essence was extremely thin, making a medium in which a material universe could exist.

In current occurrence of Universe, we are believed to be in the 51st year of the present Brahma and so about 156 trillion years have elapsed since He was born as Brahma. After Brahma's "death", it is necessary that another 100 Brahma years (311 Trillion, 40 Billion Years) pass until a new Brahma is born and the whole creation begins anew. This process is repeated again and again, forever.
