THE
ETERNAL COUNSEL OF GOD
A birds-eye view of the books of Genesis and Revelation

Introduction In the Rucacura conference (Chile), January 2004, brother Christian Chen shared a series of five messages about "The eternal counsel of God: A birds-eye-view of the books of Genesis and Revelation." During those days, brother Chen was used by God to open the Scriptures and to lead the brethren toward a wonderful view of God's purpose in Christ Jesus. The purpose of God is to sum up all the universe in Christ, the Lamb who was slain, in the fullness of the times. His throne will be the centre of the universe in the future ages to come. This purpose of God's is revealed to us in the Scriptures, especially in the first and last books of the Bible: Genesis and Revelation. The Lord Jesus said, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last." Correspondingly, the Alpha book and the Omega books of the bible - Genesis and Revelation - speak to us of this eternal purpose, from its beginning to its fulfillment. By
uniting and comparing these two books, especially the first chapters
of Genesis and the final chapters of Revelation, one can see how the
compliment and explain one another, creating a mirror symmetry; a
one to one correspondence. Thus these mysteries are clearly revealed,
like those of the Garden of Eden, the wedding of Adam and Eve, the
tree of life, the serpent, Babel, Nimrod, the battle of Abraham against
the four kings, among many others. We ask the Lord that, in His grace, He would use these messages, which have been transcribed, to the glory of His name - because of Him, and by Him and for Him are all things - and for the edification of His beloved, the Church. The Editors Index These
messages were transcribed from audio recordings and lightly edited Editing:
