Intro Class | Prologue

When was—or is—"the beginning"? The beginning of what? The universe? Earth? Humanity? Time itself? When did it all unfold? When did time "start"? What is time, and where is it? If we cannot move backward or forward through it, is "now" the only true state of existence? If so, why measure it?

Has God established specific rules, laws, and boundaries to guide His divine plan, inviting His heavenly and earthly families to shape a profound, redemptive story? Through free will and even sin, does His narrative weave a triumphant, ongoing saga? Where are we at in the “timeline,” and to what, who, or why do we hold our beliefs? How does God’s omniscience interact with His Will in a battleground governed by His laws, upheld by wisdom, sustained by covenants, and marked by suffering—all for a redemption and love story unlike any other, secured before it even began?

These profound questions beckon us to explore God’s eternal purpose for humanity, distinct from the essentials of salvation. While some truths remain beyond our reach, the Bible offers resonant insights that compose a vibrant melody, even if a few notes feel faint or elusive. What emerges is a sacred symphony: our existence rises above the ordinary, perhaps igniting a cosmic crescendo. Our life song is a war cry and strategy in which we play a pivotal role today, whether we choose to partake or not. Staying in tune with God becomes both a weapon and a harmonious declaration of allegiance, anchoring us in His divine purpose.
