This book by Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart offers a panoramic view of God's eternal plan for mankind. The blueprint begins with God as the creator of a perfect earth and explores the cause and effect of Lucifer's fall resulting in a universal flood - all of which happened before Genesis 1:2, where we find the Holy Spirit moving over the face of the waters. In the verses that follow, the voice of God is heard creating, restoring, and continuing His plan. Throughout the seven dispensations addressed in the study - innocense, conscience, human government, promise, law, grace, and divine government (the millenium) - the hand of God can be seen at work guiding His people, kwe ping his promises, providing a Redeemer, and preparing a new heaven an a new earth for the age to come.
Jimmy Lee Swaggart was an American Pentecostal televangelist, pastor, media mogul, author and gospel music artist. Swaggart was ordained as a pastor by the Assemblies of God. He went on to become one of the most well-known televangelists in America. During the 1980s, his crusades were a major part of his ministry—drawing large crowds and receiving significant media attention. Swaggart founded Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, which owns and operates the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN). He also founded the Jimmy Swaggart Bible College. Swaggart was the senior pastor of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Swaggart was known for scandals involving prostitutes and revolutionary groups accused of war crimes in southern Africa. One prostitution scandal gave rise to a televised February 21, 1988, speech by Swaggart known as his "I have sinned" speech. After Swaggart was defrocked by the Assemblies of God due to sexual immorality, he moved on to become a non-denominational minister. Swaggart wrote about 50 Christian books offered through his ministry. He sold over 15 million records worldwide as a gospel artist and he also received one Grammy Awards nomination.
