God is everlasting & before all things…

A. God’s Character is love everlasting…

God & Christ do everything together…

1. Father & the Son created this earth together (c. 4000 BC) and were together from all eternity past . . .(Prov. 8:23, KJV)
2. Father & Son at Sinai (c. 1445 BC)
3. Father & Son at Calvary (AD 31)
4. Father & Son in Last Work of Atonement (Oct. 22, 1844 – CP)
5. Father & Son at Second Coming (SC)
6. Father & Son through all EF in New Earth… (SC – EF)

B. God’s Law is everlasting…

…to 1,000 generations (Deut. 7:9). Count them: (c. 76 generations from Adam to Christ, Lk. 3:23-38) + (c. 100 generations from Christ to us today: 20 centuries x c. 5 generations per century, that is, 20 yrs. per generation) = c. 176 generations from Adam to us today. Consequently, the Law of God is still binding today according to Deut. 7:9 & throughout all eternity according to David (Ps. 119:44, 152).

1. Angels knew & kept it till 1/3 broke it (Rm. 4:15, NLT; 2 Pt. 2:4; 1 Jn. 3:8)
2. Adam & Eve knew God’s Law in Eden, Pre-Fall (Rm. 4:15, NLT; Mk. 10:1-6).
3. Noah knew God’s Law (Gen. 9:20-27; Ex. 20:12).
4. Abraham kept (Gen. 26:4, 5).
5. Israel knew God’s Law before Sinai (Ex. 16 – manna) & after (Ex. 20:1-17), and on Sinai God wrote His law on stone in written form (Ex. 31:18).
6. Christ kept (Jn. 15:10).
7. Christ’s followers kept after Calvary (Mt. 24:15-20).
8. Christ’s work on Calvary = Remove our stony hearts of resistance to God’s Law (Deut. 10:16) & replace it with a heart sensitive & obedient to His law (Jer. 31:31-34; Eze. 36:25-27; Rm. 2:28, 29).
9. Remnant keep it (Rev. 12:17); but God’s enemies make it void (Ps. 119:126, 127).
10. Standard in Judgment (Ecc. 12:13, 14; Jm. 2:12; Rev. 11:19; 1 Kg. 8:9, 21; Ex. 34:28.
11. Redeemed keep in heaven during Millennium (Rev. 22:14).
12. The redeemed will keep God’s Law in the New Earth (Rev. 22:14; Isa. 66:22, 23). For won’t we love God & our neighbors there (Mt. 22:35-40; 2 Pt. 3:13, NRSV; Isa. 65:17-25)?

C. God’s Kingship is everlasting (in 2 phases)…

The Kingdom of Grace: From the FALL to the Second Coming of Christ (Mk. 1:14, 15; Heb. 4:15, 16; Lk. 17:20, 21; Panel D). This phase is symbolized by the mountain in Dan. 2:44, 45 = all the sheep & goats who have ever and will ever profess connection to Christ in Mt. 25:31 – 46 till the Close of Probation)…

Kingdom of Glory: Setup (1844-CP). Citizens = Sheep (Mt. 25:31-40). Symbol = Stone (Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45). Christ receives before SC (Lk. 19:11-15) then comes for its citizens at SC. This kingdom fills whole earth & stands forever!
