Preface
The
subject of this book is not commonly taught or preached throughout the
Christian world. If one were to take a survey of what interests the Lord’s
people the most, one would definitely discover that the purpose and plan of the
eons is not on the list of the top 20, or even the top 100 of the hottest
subjects on the minds of Christians, including those who teach or preach.
And
yet, God’s purpose and the plan that He is carrying out in, through and by His
Son, who makes the eons, is one of the most vital matters to all mankind, not
just to believers.
It
is a very sad commentary on the ecclesia of our day that so few understand this
vital subject, which speaks of the very heartbeat of God’s love for all mankind
created to be in the image of His Son. God is love, and His purpose and plan
speak volumes of His love.

not all are predestined to come into glory at the same time, or in the same
manner. Some must wait until the consummation of the eons. However, regardless
of the time and manner, there is only one Way to come into glory, and that is
through Jesus, who is the only Way into the
God’s
purpose is to become All in all in
His entire creation. The fulfillment of the plan to bring All to God has been entrusted
to His Son, who is to head up all until He has subjected all to Himself, and

pray that what is contained in this book will challenge you to reexamine your
doctrine and, perhaps, your understanding of God’s divine purpose and plan. Challenge
is good! We need to be challenged to see why we believe as we do. Are we
holding to the traditions of men that have veered off course, or are we holding
to the truth of God’s word? For those who have never considered or been taught
on this matter, or those who have sensed that there is far more to God’s
purpose, or even those who enjoy being challenged….
May the eyes of your heart be
enlightened!
In all wisdom and
insight He made known to us the mystery
of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with
a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times,
that is,
the summing up of
all things in Christ,
things in the heavens and things on the earth.
