God is Absolute in His Purposes

The Lord is most absolute in terms of His purposes. He is absolutely determined that His purposes ‎will stand. He is the One who declares the end from the beginning and from ancient times things ‎that are not yet done. His counsel will stand and He will do all His pleasure. Similarly, for unworthy ‎sinners, who He calls stubborn-hearted here, He says in verse 13 that He will bring His ‎righteousness near in the gospel. It shall not be far off; His salvation shall not linger, and He will ‎place salvation in Zion, for Israel His glory‎
