The Purpose of the Eons

Ephesians 3:8-11

To me [Paul], less than the least of all saints, was granted this grace: to bring the evangel of the untraceable riches of Christ to the nations, ⁹ and to enlighten all as to what is the administration of the secret, which has been concealed from the eons in God, Who creates all, ¹⁰ that now may be made known to the sovereignties and the authorities among the celestials, through the ecclesia, the multifarious wisdom of God, ¹¹ in accord with the purpose of the eons, which He makes in Christ Jesus, our Lord

Ephesians 1:9-11

making known to us the secret of His will (in accord with His delight, which He purposed in Him) ¹⁰ to have an administration of the complement of the eras, to head up all in the Christ -- both that in the heavens and that on the earth -- ¹¹ in Him in Whom our lot was cast also, being designated beforehand according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will

Colossians 1:15-20

[Jesus] is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature, ¹⁶ for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all is created through Him and for Him, ¹⁷ and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him. ¹⁸ And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first, ¹⁹ for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell, ²⁰ and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens.

The Consummation of the Eons

1 Corinthians 15:20-28

Yet now Christ has been roused from among the dead, the Firstfruit of those who are reposing. ²¹ For since, in fact, through a man came death, through a Man, also, comes the resurrection of the dead. ²² For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified. ²³ Yet each in his own class: the Firstfruit, Christ; thereupon those who are Christ's in His presence; ²⁴ thereafter the consummation, whenever He may be giving up the kingdom to His God and Father, whenever He should be nullifying all sovereignty and all authority and power. ²⁵ For He must be reigning until He should be placing all His enemies under His feet. ²⁶ The last enemy is being abolished: death. ²⁷ For He subjects all under His feet. Now whenever He may be saying that all is subject, it is evident that it is outside of Him Who subjects all to Him. ²⁸ Now, whenever all may be subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also shall be subjected to Him Who subjects all to Him, that God may be All in all.
