Page 118 - Gods Plan of the Ages

A Final Note

t is my hope that the revision of this book will prove effectual in leading those who seek
Itruth to the discovery of Yahweh's magnificent plan of the ages. It is not possible in any
writing to answer every question that could be raised. To write an exhaustive teaching of
these truths is beyond the ability of this author, and would certainly prove tiresome to
many.
It has been my aim to lay a foundation for understanding that which is taught in the
Scriptures concerning the reconciliation of the creation to the Father. It is the responsibility
of every saint to pursue truth. All of Christ's disciples must acquit themselves as workmen,
laboring to become skilled and knowledgeable in the truths of Yahweh's kingdom. Those
who are most faithful will surely reap the rewards of their labors.
In this teaching it has been established that all who died in Adam will be made alive
in Christ, but "each in his own order." Yahweh has appointed some as barley, some as
wheat, and others as grapes. Each will be harvested at the appointed time. Each must come
to maturity according to the election of God.
That salvation is a gift of God, granted to those whom He chooses, at the time He
appoints, should be patiently considered. We were all at some point children of wrath.

Ephesians 2:3
Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the
flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

That any should repent and be reconciled to God is not due to man, but rather is a gift
from God.

Ephesians 2:4-5
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when
we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have
been saved)...

It should not offend any Christian to learn that God will in the end demonstrate His
mercy to all whom He has created. If you are a Christian, a disciple of Christ, it is not due
to your own piety that you were shown mercy. Your eyes were not opened to perceive the
salvation of God because you were better than other men. Yahweh simply chose to have
mercy on you, while He has chosen to harden others.
Consider for a moment the plight of the Jewish people today. At this time Yahweh has
given grace to Gentiles, while hardening the majority of the natural descendants of
Abraham.

Romans 11:25-27
For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should
be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the
fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The
Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this
is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins."

II Corinthians 3:14
But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant
the same veil remains unlifted...
