God’s Purpose Will Prevail Prophecy Thread #9

God’s purpose can sometimes seem hidden for two reasons: First, we have an enemy on this planet that God does disclose His plans to until the time of His choosing (2Co 4:4). Second, God sees beyond the 7,000 year plan mentioned in the Bible to the future eternity to come. God sees the beginning from the end and prevails over all His enemies!
