The Bible begins in a garden and ends in a city-but at the center of it all stands one Person: Jesus Christ.The Eternal Purpose of God: Shadows and Substance in Christ invites the reader to see the Scriptures through the lens of Christ, uncovering how every figure, symbol, and story in the Old Testament was designed to point to Him. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the sacrifices, the tabernacle, the temple, the kings, and the prophets-each one was a shadow of a reality later revealed in the Son.Drawing from Romans 5:14, where Paul declares that "Adam is a type of Him who was to come," this book explores the unfolding story of God's eternal purpose from Genesis to Revelation. It reveals how the garden of Eden, the covenants, and the entire system of the Law were all prophetic pictures of the true image-Christ, the fulfillment of all things.This is not merely a theological study; it is an invitation to behold. The goal is not to learn more about the Bible, but to see the Christ of the Bible-the One who is both the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.Each chapter draws the reader deeper into the mystery of Christ revealed-the shadows giving way to substance, the type yielding to truth, the figure dissolving into fullness. In this revelation, the believer discovers that the eternal purpose of God is not a distant concept, but a present reality: Christ in you, the hope of glory.Whether you are a student of Scripture, a pastor, or a believer hungry to see Jesus more clearly, The Eternal Purpose of God will deepen your understanding of the Word and awaken your heart to the beauty of God's plan fulfilled in His Son.
