Among all the questions that men have asked, there is one that is of supreme interest and importance. Why are we here? What is our destiny? What lies beyond the grave for the Christian, for the unbeliever? For old, for young? For our fellow citizens, and for the teeming masses in far-away lands serving strange gods? Is there a God who comforts? Is there a God who can assuage the pain of life. Is there really a Christ? Does He live? Is there One who can smooth the wrinkled brow and soften the hard heart? Is there some place, some heaven, some distant Eden or future world where we shall be joined again with our loved ones? God has a plan indeed, God has a wonderful plan for this world! It is a plan of which the architectural drawings were made in eternity. It encompasses the minutest detail of all of creation. I assure you that when time has run its course, and the veil is dropped upon the final scene, we shall discover that that plan has been worked out to its very tiniest detail, just as God had planned it in eternity — that His will has been done!

[Editor’s note (2026): In Chapter 1, Section “The Ages of the Ages,” the author makes certain claims about the differences between Classical Greek and Neo-Hellenic Koine Greek. More recent scholarship has shown this traditional understanding to be, in fact, incorrect — for example, research by Dr. Zachariou (a Greek Native) has identified over 1,000 Greek words that carry the same meaning today as they did in the time of Jesus.
For review of Erasmian vs Neo Hellenic Koine pronunciation, we recommend Dr. Philemon Zachariou, Reading and Pronouncing Biblical Greek: Historical Pronunciation versus Erasmian, and Dr. Benjamin Kantor, The Pronunciation of New Testament Greek: Judeo-Palestinian Greek Phonology and Orthography from Alexander to Islam. Greek transliterations have been updated throughout from Erasmian to Neo-Hellenic Koine. See our article titled Erasmus Never Used Erasmian Greek for further explanation. As reference, the two key Greek words αἰών and αἰώνιος are transliterated as — Erasmian: aion/aionios; Neo-Hellenic Koine: eón/eónios. Finally, we have standardized all scriptural references to current CMOS/SBL standards as per 2026.]
