The chapter opens by declaring that the thoughts and intents of the Father’s heart are eternal—without beginning, without end, and without alteration. God’s purpose has never wavered across the ages; it is everlasting, unchanging, and certain to reach its fulfillment both in heaven and on earth. His purpose is the very definition of “eternal,” and nothing in creation can hinder its consummation. As the text states, “His purpose will always go on; it will never stop…nothing can prevent His eternal purpose from finding full fruition.”
