The eternal purpose of God is to...

...call out from every kindred, tongue, people and nation,
a multitude redeemed by the blood
of His Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; over whom
He will crown His Son, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of
Kings, and Lord of Lords forever.
This is the passion of the heart of God that cannot be quenched,
the obsession of His mind that cannot be denied, the vision of
His eyes from eternity past into eternity future that will not
dim, and the destination to which He has committed His omnipotent,
immutable, eternal being; a destination that He will not abandon.
