God's Grand Plan of the Ages

God's Kingdom will be more wonderful, more glorious, more all encompassing, than all the dreams of philosophers, poets and sages. There will be a world of peace (Psalm 46:9) The healing of all the defects of humanity (Isa iah 35:5,6) Moral integrity will be planted in every heart (Jeremiah 31:33) All the dead of past ages will be raised to life again (1 Cor. 15:22) Sorrow, pain, tears and death itself will cease (Revelation 21:4) "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9)

A Nightime of Sin... to End in a Joyful Morning!

The dark night of sin now engulfing man will never be forgotten! But soon in the dawning Age, Messiah as the “Sun of Righteousness” shall arise with healing and blessing. The dreadful night of pain, sickness and death will end. The joy of morning will more than offset the tears of our groaning creation. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).

An Intelligent, Loving Creator

God implanted in us a yearning to understand the universe. We want to understand where we have come from, where we are going, what is our destiny. Having implanted in us this desire to know, would not a loving and just Creator reveal for us an answer to these longings?

Time in God's Plan

Imagine walking down the street of a big city and seeing a fenced-off section with noisy blasting, dust flying and piles of debris. If we peeked through a hole in the fence, we might cry out, “What a mess! Whoever planned this project did not know what they were doing!” But wait! Is it fair to judge an architect by his unfinished work? Surely not

Object of our Lord's Return is to Restore

Many Scriptures indicate that at the time of our Lord’s second coming the world will be far from being converted to God. In Luke 21:27-35 Jesus, speaking of his return and coming Kingdom, says “take heed to yourselves lest...that day come upon you unawares, for as a snare shall it come on all them (not taking heed) that dwell on the face of the whole earth. In 2 Timothy 3:1-4 the Apostle Paul tells us, “In the last days...men shall be...lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” Revelation 1:7 states that at Christ’s return, “All kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.” Clearly the world is not converted when Christ returns. On the contrary, the Scriptures teach that Christ comes before the conversion of the world, for the purpose of converting the world! The Church is tested now in order to share with Jesus in blessing the world later in His promised Kingdom. “They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years” (Revelation 20:4;3:21).

New Booklet: God's Grand Plan of the Ages

Millions of copies of the Christian classic book, The Divine Plan of the Ages have been printed and circulated through out the world in over thirty languages. It has brought joy and peace to the hearts of millions as they came to under stand that our great Creator is truly a God of Love who has designed a Plan that will ulti mately bless every man, woman and child that has ever lived!

Our new booklet "God's Grand Plan of the Ages" endeavors to capture the highlights of the more com prehensive book The Divine Plan of the Ages. Though brief in nature, this 96-page booklet leads to a satisfying expla na tion of age-old questions: Why does a God of Love permit the evil we see in the world? Why are there tsunamis and earthquakes that kill thousands—and wars that kill millions? Why must we experience pain, heartache and finally death? When will God's Kingdom come and His will be "done on earth as it is in heaven"?

"God's Grand Plan of the Ages" also covers the signs of the "Time of the End" prophecies in the book of Daniel (Daniel 12:1-4). "Knowldge" is being increased at an unprecedented rate in human history, ushering in the Brain Age of computers, cell phones, space exploration, etc. However, though technology has been a blessing in many ways —we see man's selfishness and greed in this Atomic era leading to an ever increasing "time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation." What a comfort to know, however, that this trouble will usher in the "Golden Age" that mankind has longed for since the dawn of history! God's Kingdom will be more wonderful, more glorious, more all encompassing, than all the dreams of philosophers, poets and sages.
