Before the creation of the world, God planned to send Christ to reveal the mystery of His will and oversee the realization of His redemptive purpose. Though Jesus currently reigns from heaven, working out God's eternal plan in time, all things do not yet "add up." However, the day is coming when God's plan will be fully realized and everything in heaven and on earth will be summed up in Christ. At that time, every knee will bow and every tongue confess His Lordship as history is brought to a climax in a new heavens and earth in which only righteousness dwells.
