Doctrine of the Eons: God’s Immutable Plan

The Doctrine of the Eons: God's Immutable Plan is an account of how God will bring about the salvation and reconciliation of all mankind. Each chapter provides a theological account of how this will be accomplished, including dispelling common myths about God and focusing on the meaning of the word "immutable. " This leads to a discussion of the Hebrew and Greek definitions of "eon" and "eternal, " and we discover that neither the Old nor the New Testament uses the word "eternal. " "Eternal" tends to refer to an indefinite amount of time, whereas "eon" is more definite; the latter term is primarily used when the Bible talks about the end-times. Finally, the doctrine of universal salvation is presented, arguing that God will have all men be saved and that he will eventually reconcile all creation.
