Jay writes:
"Ephesians 1:9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to
his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect
when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in
heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. 11 In him we were
also chosen,having been predestined according to the plan of him who works
out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that
we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his
glory."
Would you care to flesh out the question a bit more?
