From Eternity Past
The great plan of redemption results in fully bringing back the
world into God’s favor. All that was lost by sin is restored. Not
only man but the earth is redeemed, to be the eternal abode of the
obedient. Now God’s original purpose in its creation is accomplished.
“The saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the

The sacred statutes which Satan has hated and sought to destroy
will be honored throughout a sinless universe. “The Lord God will
cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.”
