Review

The Chapter of ‘The Permission of Evil’ is alone more than worth the price of the whole volume... -- Joseph Rotherham, translator of the Emphasized Bible ,

Product Description

Over 1600 Scriptures examined from the Old and New Testaments.

The Bible reveals that God's ultimate purpose for the world of mankind is to fulfill His promise to faithful Abraham, "In thee and in thy seed shall I bless all the families of the earth." But even to honest-hearted Christians, that promise still seems far from its fulfillment and many questions persist.

For instance, what does God intend to do to relieve the conditions of sin and death in the world? And when? Why has He waited so long? When is Jesus Christ going to establish His Kingdom on earth? And why is a plain reading of the Bible so difficult and confusing to so many? Is there a key which opens the door of understanding to the Bible for us?

For over 100 years the key to Biblical understanding has been in the hands of Bible students. In The Divine Plan of the Ages all the great themes of the Holy Scriptures are introduced to the reader in a clear and understandable topic-by-topic method. The Divine Plan of the Ages reveals:

• The great time periods of God's plan
• Why God has permitted evil
• The MANNER of Christ's return
• The Biblical meaning of "ransom" and "restitution"
• A study of the Kingdom of God

These and many other important Bible topics are discussed in depth. The opening statement of The Divine Plan of the Ages best describes its aim and its value as a key to Biblical understanding.

The title of this series of studies ¾ The Divine Plan of the Ages, suggests a progression in the Divine arrangement, foreknown to our God and orderly. We believe the teachings of divine revelation can be seen to be both beautiful and harmonious from this standpoint and from no other.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Key to Unlock the Scriptures, June 11, 2003

By	C. Rockafellow (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The writer takes the words of God in the scriptures as a whole and harmonizes them to bring out what God's design is for mankind. If you wonder why God allows what He does right now in the world, read this book. Read this book with your Bible in hand and see those scriptures unfold in a way that simply makes sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appeals to reason., June 20, 2003

By	B.B. Bach (Novi, MI United States) - See all my reviews

At 20 years of age, and with no religious training, I went on a spiritual search. I went to several church's and asked questions and few satisfying answers were forthcoming. This book (The Divine Plan of The Ages) helped me to understand the Bible in a very reasonable, and logical, form that made wonderful sense and gave great, exciting hope. To me that says a lot and is rarely found in Biblical writings. It answered a lot of questions that I had about the "big picture" and the oft asked question, "what is the meaning of life?". What are we ALL learning here. It's a great Bible study!

5.0 out of 5 stars The True Gospel, February 28, 2004

By	Daniel J. Beard (Federal Way,, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is the only one that accurately and harmoniously presents the truth of the Scriptures. It lives up to its title, "The Divine Plan of the Ages". It answers all reasonable questions on the Scriptures. A must have and a must read.

It is truly a vindication of the character of God.
