Yahweh’s Presence: From everlasting Psa 90:2

Before Creation – Overview

God’s Plan from before Time

Before creation God had a plan to live forever with people who bore His own image. So He promised eternal life and prepared a beautiful Garden where they could live and multiply, enjoying His Presence forever.
Tit 1:2 However, He knew that they would turn away and spoil His perfect world of love. Act 15:18 So from the very beginning He made a plan for everyone who chooses Him:
  1. He would send His Son Jesus to die and rise again, forgiving and cleansing all who believe and follow Him. Eph 1:4-5
  2. Jesus the Messiah would return to reign as King for 1,000 years, ruling the earth in perfect justice, peace, and abundance. Rev 20:6
  3. During that time the earth would be filled with people who love and worship Him, from every nation, tribe, language, and people. Isa 66:18
  4. God’s Spirit will empower His people to live His ways perfectly, forever. Ezk 36:27
When everything is perfected, God will come down to earth to dwell with His Son and His perfected family in the Garden restored… this time forever without end! Rev 21:3

God’s Objective

Before time began, God wanted an eternal relationship with Mankind, so He decided He would make Adam in His own image.
He planned to make a Garden on earth where Mankind could live, multiply and have eternal life with Him forever.
Isa 46:9-10

The Plan so far

However God, whose name is Yahweh, foresaw that Mankind’s choice to sin would break their relationship. So from before creation, He planned for a Saviour, Jesus, (meaning “Yahweh saves”). He would come from the line of Adam/Eve, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, King David and Mary. He would suffer and die on a cross and take away the sins of the world.
Gen 3:13-15

The Plan yet to unfold

Jesus will return as King of kings, and after 1,000 years, restore the world to God, with the result that His people will dwell together with God and His Son, forever.
1Co 15:24-26 Rev 21:3-5

The Work of Christ, the Messiah, is Finished

Those who choose to be with Yahweh, God the Father, are adopted as His sons and daughters, through the work of God’s begotten Son, Jesus.
Eph 1:3-6 Jesus’s death on the cross and resurrection enables believers to be reconciled to God by cancelling the effects of their sin.
Rom 5:10 God’s Spirit will enable those who are God’s, to walk in His ways; to be Holy as He is holy.
Ezk 36:27 1Pe 1:15-16 God’s desire is for a loving relationship with humanity. The Bible describes His plan to save people from every tribe, nation and tongue and so He can dwell with them forever.
1Pe 1:20-21
