Could a strong enough telescope see the beginning of time?

I was looking at space images today, some were of stars and galaxies billions of light years away. My understanding of the subject is limited, but I know that space time is different and the stars we see now are images from the past … so the telescopes are now sending images of things supposedly from a billion years after the big bang…. so, would it be theoretically possible for us to see the beginning of time if we had a telescope powerful enough? Wow, what a weird concept, like the past is still alive today. But if it works on some degree, how far back can we go?
