P. 10
Then Comes the End
t may seem odd to begin a book with a chapter that focuses on the end, but there is a good
Ipurpose in doing so. When Yahweh set forth to form the creation He had the end and
culmination of all His works in mind. He had determined from the beginning of the creation
what the conclusion of all things would be. What Yahweh planned will be fulfilled. The end
of Yahweh's works contain no loose ends. Nothing that has been conceived in God's mind
will remain partially fulfilled.
It is important to grasp this aspect of Yahweh's plan of the ages, for it differs
substantially from the experience of man. When men set forth to accomplish some goal they
often fall short of seeing the fulfillment of everything they had envisioned. Man learns to
make peace with partial successes and partial failures. A man may be satisfied to have
accomplished many of the things he set forth to do, conceding that he gave a good effort and
progressed far along the path he had chosen. Man is finite both in wisdom and power. Man
does not control all circumstances, nor does he rule in absolute sovereignty over the
creation. Therefore, it is unrealistic for men to anticipate that they will be able to fulfill
every detail of the goals, dreams, and visions that originate in the Adamic soul.
In contrast, Yahweh is all powerful. He possesses all wisdom. He knows all things.
Yahweh sees the end from the beginning. There is no power in existence that can hinder
Him in the fulfillment of the things He has planned. All things have come from God, and
all things lie in His power. When Yahweh establishes a plan, He is assured that it will be
absolutely, completely, and perfectly fulfilled at the precise moment that He has
determined.
Isaiah 46:9-11
"I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end
from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, ‘My
purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure'; Calling a bird of
prey from the east, the man of My purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly
I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it."
The church has embraced many false doctrines about the ages to come. These
doctrines are riddled with error that has arisen by failing to reckon on Yahweh's
determinate will to bring a full, complete and perfect end to the entire creation, and by not
considering that He possesses all power and wisdom to accomplish what He has planned.
The church teaches that the creation will continue on into eternity with rebellion,
judgment, and torment. The church teaches that the vast majority of the men who have ever
lived, and one third of the angels, will never be reconciled to God, but will continue on for
eternity without end in separation and unending punishment. Such concepts are unworthy
of the One who possesses all power to subject the entire creation to Himself.
Philippians 3:20-21
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord
Yahshua Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the
body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to
Himself.
