The Eternal Purpose of God

Before the heavens and the earth were created God saw in His mind the new heaven and earth, and the new Jerusalem.

When God created the first heavens and earth and all of earth’s inhabitants, including man, God knew every event that must transpire before it would be possible for Him to bring forth the actual heaven and earth He had in mind, and a government that would bring righteousness, peace, and joy to the inhabitants.

After all had been created in timeless vision, God rested. Our sole business in life is to enter that rest, that finished work of the Lord God and His Christ.

Each human being is occupied with creating heaven and earth according to his own desires, fashioning himself and his destiny as he sees fit. But God invites us to enter His rest, that is, into the heaven and earth God has chosen. Also, God knows what our destinies to be. All God asks is that we cease from our own works and receive the heaven and earth, and the personality and role, He has chosen for us.
