Before the first age began, the Father already held the end in His heart.
Most of us were taught that the Bible begins at Genesis 1:1. But the New Testament writers knew something that verse, by itself, does not tell us. Paul writes of a purpose given before times eonian - before the ages began. Peter speaks of a Lamb foreordained before the foundation of the world. There was a before. Something was already going on. The story starts one step earlier than most of us were shown.
The Master Plan Unveiled begins there - and walks the whole story from that earlier beginning to the Eighth Day beyond the final restoration.
This is the accessible introduction to The Master Plan theology - written for readers, small groups, and Sunday school discussion who want to follow the biblical narrative from its deepest beginning to its final end, without needing a seminary background to do it. The writing is plain. The framework is clear. The story is large.
Working through nine chapters, the book traces each great movement of Scripture in sequence: the Triune God who was already love before there was anyone to love into being, the ages and what each one is for, Eden as nursery rather than destination, the Cross as the turning point of everything, the Church age now underway, the return of Christ, the Restoration of All Things, the New Heavens and the New Earth, and finally the Eighth Day - when God becomes all in all.
Rather than presenting the great doctrines as scattered and competing pieces, the book gathers them into one unfolding vision: a Father forming mature sons and daughters through the ages, keeping judgment real without making it final ruin, preserving freedom without letting the story end in eternal division, and bringing creation home in Christ.
This book is for:
This is the doorway. The story is larger than most of us were shown - and more hopeful than many of us have dared to believe.
A volume in The Master Plan Library - a collection exploring God's love for mankind, the purpose of the ages, and the final fullness of all things in Christ.
