==2:2. THE FATHER'S ETERNAL PERFECTION==

2:2.1 Even your olden [[prophets]] understood the [[eternal]], never-beginning, never-ending, [[Circle|circular]] nature of the Universal Father. God is [[literally]] and eternally [[Presence|present]] in his [[universe of universes]]. He inhabits the present [[moment]] with all his [[absolute]] [[majesty]] and eternal greatness. "The Father has life in himself, and this life is eternal life." Throughout the eternal ages it has been the Father who "gives to all life." There is infinite [[perfection]] in the [[divine]] [[integrity]]. "I am the Lord; I change not." Our [[knowledge]] of the [[Multiverse|universe of universes]] discloses not only that he is the Father of lights, but also that in his conduct of interplanetary affairs there "is no variableness neither [[shadow]] of [[Change|changing]]." He "declares the end from the beginning." He says: "My [[counsel]] shall stand; I will do all my [[pleasures]]" "according to the eternal [[purpose]] which I purposed in [[Eternal Son|my Son]]." Thus are the plans and purposes of the [[First Source and Center]] like himself: eternal, perfect, and forever changeless.

2:2.2 There is finality of completeness and perfection of repleteness in the [[mandate]]s of the Father. "Whatsoever God does, it shall be forever; nothing can be added to it nor anything taken from it." The [[Universal Father]] does not repent of his [[original]] [[purpose]]s of [[wisdom]] and [[perfection]]. His plans are steadfast, his [[counsel]] immutable, while his [[acts]] are divine and [[infallible]]. "A thousand years in his sight are but as yesterday when it is past and as a watch in the night." The perfection of divinity and the magnitude of eternity are forever beyond the [[Understanding|full grasp]] of the circumscribed mind of [[mortal]] man.

2:2.3 The [[reaction]]s of a changeless God, in the execution of his eternal purpose, may seem to vary in accordance with the changing [[attitude]] and the shifting minds of his created intelligences; that is, they may apparently and superficially vary; but underneath the surface and beneath all outward [[manifestations]], there is still present the changeless purpose, the everlasting plan, of the eternal God.
