What are some examples of third-person omniscient point of view?

Third-person means that the story is told without using personal pronouns; "Adam looked at Eve and said, 'Eve, you are smokin' hot!"

Omniscient means you're everywhere at once; "Meanwhile, the serpent was busy plotting." You can switch between storylines.

There are three types of third person point of view. Third person omnicient uses pronouns such as he, she, it, or the name of the character. The narrator is an outsider looking in who does not participate in the action of the story. The narrator knows all, sees all, and reports all. They know the thoughts and emotions of the characters. Third person limited is the same as omnicient except the narrator only knows the thoughts and emotions of one, sometimes two, characters. The narrator is limited, hence the name. The last one is third person objective. The narrator is still an outsider looking in, a detached observer, but this time they are not aware of any character's thoughts or emotions. They can only report what is said and done. It is like an audience member at a play where you can only watch actions and hear dialogue. You do not know character's thoughts.
