From Eden To Eternity

Introduction:

The Hidden Pattern of the Eternal God
Before there was a world, there was a Will — the divine counsel of God. Before there was man, there was purpose. Before the garden bloomed, there was a blueprint drawn in eternity’s invisible chambers.

Everything that would ever exist was not an accident of divine impulse, but the expression of an eternal plan — a plan that began in God, unfolded in Eden, was redeemed through the Cross, and will be completed in the New Jerusalem.

The story of Scripture is not many stories, but one story told in many languages:

The Father’s intention in creation.

The Son’s intervention in redemption.

The Spirit’s administration in restoration.

Eden was never meant to be lost forever — it was a prototype, a divine preview of what God intends to establish eternally: a realm where God and man shall dwell as one.

When Adam fell, God did not change His plan; He simply revealed the hidden Lamb that had been slain from the foundation of the world. The Garden closed, but the Gate of Grace opened.
