Chapter 8


1

The Lord is a God of knowledge.

2

By his word was everything made which was made and he governeth all things according to his infinite foreknowledge.

3

Even before he created the heavens and the earth, he counseled with the hosts of heaven and planned a plan wherein the spirit of every man should have his appointed role, for the spirit of every man appeared before the Lord of spirits in the beginning and received a place appointed in the family of heaven and earth.

4

When a man filleth his appointed role, it is according to the glorious design of the Lord of spirits and thus, as each one functions according to the divine plan, the work of God is pushed toward its consummation.

5

The designs of God cannot be frustrated; in his hand lieth the government of all things and he sustaineth all the children of men in their needs, wherefore it becometh all men to worship the Lord God of Israel and be obedient to the divine plan which he hath ordained in their behalf.
