God’s purpose and plan to bring many sons and daughters to glory in His family and the establishment of the Kingdom of God is a principle focus of prophecy. The Church of God is the Kingdom of God in embryo. The Bible interprets the Bible and God’s plan is revealed by progressive revelation throughout the Bible. Every person who has ever lived has the opportunity to be part of the spiritual Israel of God and be part of the Family of God in the Kingdom of God!
