CHAPTER 5 – Let’s Watch God’s Plans for You Unfold Throughout the Successive Ages From Before Time Began Onto “TODAY” Onto Eternity.
When did God formulate His plans/concept of/your being saved for YOU? God formulated ALL aspects of His plans for ALL parts of His creation and wrote them in His complete Book of Life – for man, the angels, the universe, the stars, whatever all is in the universe – from BEFORE time and history began – a guesstimated time of over 15+ billion years ago! This is almost beyond my comprehension, but I can and do accept it by faith!
1 John 4:19 We love Him, because He first loved us. {When did He love us? – When He first foreknew our concept over 15+ billion years ago.}
Ephesians 1:3-5 May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm! 4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own {He foreknew and predestined us}] in Christ {when?} before the foundation of the world{/time began}, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love {God preplanned BEFORE time began that the concept for all of His foreknown offspring should be “saved/redeemed.” Can you believe and accept this?}.
5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent] AMP
Psalms 139:16 {God the Father} Your eyes saw {the concept for} my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them. AMP
Jeremiah 29:11 {God the Father speaking} For I know the thoughts and plans {My concept} that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome {death}. AMP What does God’s “hope” offer to all naturally conceived men and women?
Titus 1:2 [Resting] in the hope of eternal life, [life] which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive promised before the world or the ages of time began. AMP
Today, many people are researching their ancestry by going back into history to find their roots. They are starting at the wrong end. God’s plans for man’s generations started from BEFORE time and history began, then God used Eve the Mother of all the living to start man’s generations forward through the successive ages of time through and beyond the present age into eternity.
Genesis 3:20 The man called his wife’s name Eve [life spring], because she was the mother of all the living {from the beginning of man}. AMP
Isaiah 41:4 Who has prepared and done this, calling forth and guiding the destinies of the generations [of the {peoples of the} nations] from the{ir} beginning? I, the Lord — the first [existing before history began] and with the last [an ever-present, unchanging God] — I am He. AMP
