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. | 2:2.1 Even your olden [[prophets]] understood the [[eternal]], never-beginning, never-ending, [[Circle|circular]] nature of the Universal Father.
