We humans have all sorts of personal secrets, and governments have many special top secrets like the Manhattan Project. In addition, there are secret, mysterious things related to dinosaurs, black holes, supposed space aliens, and monsters; all these are kid's stuff compared to a top secret God had hidden since the beginning. From the beginning, God knew He would have to redeem the humans He intended to create, because He knew they would sin. However, before those humans were created, He had to prepare an earthly home for them; this was no small matter and something of great significance if we are to grasp the awesome wisdom of God. Interestingly, there was an aspect of God's wisdom that intentionally was kept secret, from the very beginning. The reason for keeping this secret is that if the world rulers had known of it, they would not have crucified Christ. If Christ were not crucified, then no person could be redeemed in all of human history, and God's plan would have failed. The most important event in history, Christ's death, depended upon this secret being kept at all costs. The purpose of this book is twofold: 1) to explore what the secret was and how it changed the world and 2) to examine why the rulers of this world (including Satan) would not have crucified Christ had they known of this secret. A very special number will be revealed in the process of exploring the secret. This number is not of some prophetic event, but the number associated with the central event in human history, the crucifixion. That event has changed the world, and this book will explain how that happened. God's secret was not that Christ had to be crucified, that was well established in Scripture. The secret relates to the full accomplishments of His death as they occur in the Age of Grace, the Age in which we live. What God is accomplishing in our Age and in the future is so astounding that if Satan and his rulers had known they would have made sure Christ did not die. God's secret could finally be revealed after Christ's death; it was revealed to the Apostle Paul in the first century, just as He had always planned. We have the hidden wisdom of God in our Bibles, and it is just an incredible thing to know. Knowing God's secret makes us stand dumbfounded at what God is doing, and plans to do in the future. As we grasp the overall plan of God, the Bible begins to make a lot more sense. This book will also explore the future Kingdom, because the Age of Grace will have a profound impact upon the future. What is unusual about this book is that estimates are made as to how many people in the entire world may be saved (redeemed) and how many may be unsaved in the various ages. There has been a tremendous increase in those saved in the Age of Grace, but in the Kingdom there will be an even greater increase. The Kingdom will build upon our Age as the full accomplishments of Christ's death come to fruition. The blessing of our Age, and in the future, depended upon God's secret begin kept until it was safe to reveal. Now revealed, we can get a glimpse of God wisdom and what He has in store for us.
