Page 11 - Gods Plan of the Ages
P. 11

If Christ were to confront the false doctrines relating to the ages to come and to
               eternity, doctrines that leave a great portion of the creation in a state of estrangement to His
               Father, He would surely reply as He did to those who reckoned errantly in the days of His
               earthly ministry.


                 Matthew 22:29
                 But Yahshua answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the
                 Scriptures nor the power of God."


                     Even the righteous who have some knowledge and experience of God often fail to
               reckon accurately concerning those things Yahweh has planned and will surely accomplish.


                 Genesis 18:13-14
                 And Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child,
                 when I am so old?' Is anything too difficult for Yahweh?"


                     The church's beliefs and doctrines concerning the coming ages are the product of "not
               understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God." Christ has been given ALL authority
               and power. Yahweh has determined to reconcile ALL THINGS to Himself. His work will not
               be completed until His desires have been fully and perfectly accomplished. In a myriad of
               places throughout the Scriptures, the Creator has declared His intent to bring the entire
               creation back into a place of peace with Himself. The church has failed in her understanding
               of Yahweh's determined purpose to restore all things to a perfect state of unity. The apostle
               Paul understood the plan of God, and he declared it openly to the saints.

                 I Corinthians 15:24-28
                 Then comes the end, when He (Christ) delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He
                 puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all
                 enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For "He has put
                 all things under His feet." But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident
                 that He who put all things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made subject
                 to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him,
                 that God may be all in all.

                     Is the apostle not speaking about "the end" of Yahweh's work among the creation in
               these verses? Does the apostle declare that all things will end with billions of men and
               angels in the bonds of eternal torment? Does the apostle declare that the creation will
               continue on eternally without a reconciliation of all things to the Father? Absolutely not!
               Paul understood both the Scriptures and the power of God. He proclaimed the truth of
               Yahweh's plan of the ages. Paul tells us exactly what the end of all things will encompass.
                     Christ must reign, but not eternally! Does this statement offend? Christ must reign
               UNTIL He has accomplished all things which the Father has determined must be brought
               to completion under the rule of His Son. What has the Father determined? He has declared
               that all enemies must be vanquished. All rebellion must come to an end. Every creature on
               earth and in heaven must be reconciled back to the Father. All creation must be summed
               up in the Son of God, coming under a perfect submission to Yahshua. The ONLY being left
               out of this is the Father. The Son is in a state of perfect submission to the Father. Once all
