UNDOING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL: THE PURPOSE, THE COUNSEL

AND THE WILL OF GOD

Michael Kapsis
Gods Good pleasure to save us from our sins was the mystery of the ages and
the Purpose of the ages, chronologically from the foundation of the world, since
the advent of sin and the fall of mankind, not prior to it.
Gods salvation plan is associated to the Purpose, being according to the
Counsel, being in turn according to the Will of God. It is a salvation plan which
has every one in mind, to bless all those who have ever come into existence and
those who have yet to come into existence. It is a plan which surpasses every
generation and yet is very present in this generation and this very age. It is not a
plan which is limited to His people Israel alone, but the All, the Jew first
and the Nations.
God is recreating us in the Second Adam, Jesus Christ His Son. He is recreating us
unto good works which God intended that we walk in them from the beginning. It
is this intention by which we are being blessed in all spiritual blessings in the
heavenlies in this present age. And this intention to be Holy and blameless is
subject to the Purpose, being according to the Counsel, of the Will of God.
The Purpose of God applies to the Election of Grace, more specifically for the
Jews and Nations to be joint Heirs through the Gospel, where Christ is the head
over all.
The Counsel of God is the fullness of Gods plan through the revealing of His Son,
and it is not in Gods Counsel that any should perish.
The Will of God is the fullness of the Grace of God,
Faith in that Grace,
and Obedience to the Faith.
EVERYONE IS INCLUDED, NOT ONE IS EXCLUDED, EXCEPT BY THEIR OWN
WILLINGNESS.
Our invitation to His Grace, seals us with the Holy Spirit of promise. We receive
this grace by faith, and faith comes by hearing and understanding the word of
God. We are sealed with the Holy Spirit, because the Spirit breathes where He
wants. It is the sanctification of the Spirit through the sprinkling of the blood
of Jesus Christ which cleanses us from all sin. That is what makes us eklekton
Quality before God. We are quality because He has justified us in His Son, We are
quality because He Justifies us unto Glorification. We are being changed from
Glory to Glory, a Symorphosis into the Glorious Image of His Son. We are the
Elect of Grace, because it is written where it was said they were not my beloved,
they will be called my beloved. We are the elect beloved in the Beloved Christ,
His Son, because we believed on the Son, the Eklekton Quality, Precious
Cornerstone, and he that believeth on Him shall by no means be ashamed.
Believing on His Son makes God true, unbelief makes everyone a liar. Let God be
true. Amen.
And with fear spend all our days because our adversary the devil seeks to
devour.
He that thinks he stand, let him be careful that he not fall. Amen.

Foundation of the World (Katabolis Tou Kosmou)

To put this into context I will start by saying that God has always existed, and will always exist.
Before the mountains existed, and before the earth and the world
(ikoumeni/habitable earth were formed, even from
age aionos to age aionos)thou art. (Psalm 90:2 Brenton LXX)

Also, The Son of God has always existed, and will always exist. And Jesus confirmed this with His
disciples during the Last Supper when He said;
Father I desire that whom you have given me, that where I am, those may be with Me also,
that they may behold My glory which you gave Me because you loved me before the
foundation of the world (katabolis tou kosmouJn 17:24 KJVII)

Now the phrase Foundation of the World (katabolis tou kosmou)

appears nine times in the New Testament and at every instance is preceded by either the Greek
word probefore) or the word (apo/from).
Here is a list of all 9 passages:
Before the Foundation of the World;
1. THE SON WAS FOREKNOWN BY THE FATHER
Indeed having been foreknown proegnosmenoubefore the foundation of
the world (katabolis tou kosmou. (1Pet.1:20 KJVII)
2. THE SON WAS LOVED BY THE FATHER
Father I desire that whom you have given me, that where I am, those may be with Me also,
that they may behold My glory which you gave Me because you loved me before the
foundation of the world (katabolis tou kosmou. (Jn 17:24 KJVII)

3. HE CHOSE US IN HIM TO BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH.

He chose exelexato us ( /imas in Him before the foundation
of the world ( katabolis tou kosmou to be
holy agios and without blemish amomous). (Eph 1:4 KJVII)
From the Foundation of the World;
4. WERE THE HIDDEN THINGS OF GOD
So that it may be fulfilled that which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my
mouth in parables; I will say things hidden from the Foundation of the World
(katabolis kosmou. (Mt 13:35 KJVII)

5. CAME THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES OF GOD

And because of this the wisdom of God said, I will send prophets and apostles to them, and
(some) of them they will kill and drive out, in order that the blood of the prophets poured out
from the foundation of the world (katabolis kosmoumay be required
from this generation (geneas, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who
perished between the altar and the House-yes, I say to you, it will be required from this
generation (geneas. (Lk 11:49-51 KJVII)

The Blood of Abel

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I
know /ginosko not: Am I my brothers keeper? (Gen 4:9 KJV)

6. CHRIST SUFFERED ONCE AT THE COMPLETION OF THE AGES, SACRIFICED FOR THE
PUTTING AWAY OF SIN.
For Christ did not enter into (the) Holies made by hand, types of the true things, but into
heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf; not that He often should
have offered Himself, even as the high priest enters into the holies year by year with blood of
others; since He must often have suffered from foundation of the world
(/katabolis kosmouBut now once, at the completion of the
ages aionon, He has been manifested for putting away of sin through the sacrifice
of Himself. (Heb 9:24-26 KJVII)

7. CAME FAITH
For we, the ones believing, enter into the rest, even as He said, As I swore in my wrath, they
shall not enter into my rest, though the works had come into being from the foundation of
the world katabolis kosmou(Hebrews 4:3 KJVII)

8. NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

And all those dwelling on the earth will worship it, (those) of whom the names have not been
written in the Book of Life of the Lamb having been slain, from the foundation of (the) world
katabolis kosmou. (Rev 13:8 KJVII)

Regarding the Book of Life

And all (those) profaning may not enter into it, or (any) making an abomination or a lie; but
only the (ones) having been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb. (Rev 21:27 KJVII)
And if anyone takes away from the words of (the) Book of this prophecy, God will take away
his part from (the) Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and of the things having been written
in this book. (Rev 22:19 KJVII)

9. THE BLESSED INHERIT THE KINGDOM

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, the blessed of my Father; inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the World katabolis
kosmou. (Mt 25:34 KJVII)

Now if we consider the phrase the (katabolis kosmou) it can be literally

translated as Down-Throwing of the World. It signifies the down-throwing and the bringing into
existence of the world.
When we look at the word (katabolis):
The word (kata) denotes the indicating motion meaning down i.e. from a higher to a
lower place. The word (bolis) denotes to throw.
The word (katabolis) is also found in the Book of Hebrews regarding Sarah through
faith receiving Abrahams seed (i.e. down-throwing of his seed) through intercourse and
conceiving.
By faith also her(self) Sarah power for conception katabolin) of seed received
even beyond time of age (Heb 11:11 J.P.Green)

The word (kosmou) denotes the world in relation to the primary meaning being order,
regular disposition and arrangement.
For example; in Acts 17:24-31 Paul says this about the kosmos world.
The God who made the World kosmon) and everything in it, He being Lord of
Heaven and of Earth does not dwell in hand made temples, nor is served by hands of men (as)
having need of anything, (for) He gives life and breath to all, and He made every nation of
men of one blood, to live on all the face of the earth, having ordained fore-appointed seasons
and boundaries of their dwelling, (Acts 17:24-26)

Therefore; the world and everything in it includes the earth, the visible heaven, with mankind the
centrepiece of the Lords creation within a framework of seasons and boundaries governed by The
Lord. The world (/kosmou) is an all-inclusive system.
The phrase foundation of the world (katabolis tou kosmou) is the
absolute beginning. It was a beginning without a yesterday.
In (the) beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This One
was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and without
Him not even one thing came into being. (Jn 1:1-3 KJVII)

Foundation (Themelion)
Now if all things came into being through Him, I would ask What came into being first? The
answer can be found in scripture (i.e. Is 40:21, Job 38:4, Ps 102:5). Here we will also identify
ourselves with the actual word foundation themelion
Have you not known gnosesthe? Have you not heard? Hath it not been told you
from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations (themeliaof
the ( earth (/gis(Isaiah 40:21 KJV)
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations themelion of the
earthgin? Declare, if thou hast understanding sinesin. (Job 38:4 KJV)
Of old hast thou laid the foundation themelion of the earthgin: and the
heavens are the works of thy hands. (Psalm 102:5 KJV)

The first creation began with a foundation (I would suggest a foundation stone) and all of
creation began to appear from and centered around that foundation stone.
Now, the new creation Foundation Stone is Christ alone.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations
(/themelia)of Sion a costly stone( ), a choice
(/eklekton), corner-stone(), a precious() [stone], for its
foundations (/themelia); and he that believes( ) [on him] shall by no
means be ashamed. (Is 28:16 LXX Brenton)

The AgesAionas)
Now the beginning of creation heralds the beginning of the ages aionasNow in
regards to doctrinal reproof this word is key to understanding basic theology of scripture.
In Hebrews 1:2 we read concerning the beginning of the the ages aionas
the Son, whom He appointed heir of allpanton, through Him whom He indeed
made the ages/aionas(Heb 1:2KJVII)
In Ephesians 3:1-11 Paul speaks of the mystery of the ages (aiononand the Purpose
(prothesin of the ages (aionon was for the Jews and Nations to be Joint
Heirs.
Read Ephesians 3:1-11
that by revelation He revealed egnorise/was made known)
to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief, by which you are able to realise my
understanding of the mystery of Christ; which was not made known
egnoristhi to the sons of men in other generations, as it has now been
revealed it was revealed to His holyagiois apostles and
prophets.(for) the nations ethni to be joint heirs, and of the same body, and sharers
of His promise in Christ, through the Gospel. (Eph 3:3-6 KJVII)

the mystery (having been hidden from

theages (aiononEph 3:9 J.P.Green)
according kata to the purpose /prothesin of theages
/aionon.(Eph 3:11 J.P.Green)

This particular age is also referred by Paul as the Times of Ignorance.

Truly, then, God having overlooked the times of ignorance, NOW strictly charges all men
everywhere to repent. (Acts 17:30 KJVII)

In Hebrews 9:26 we read concerning the fulfilment of the ages /aionon, and this is
regarding the manifestation of Christ through the sacrifice of Himself.
For Christ did not enter into (the) Holies made by hand, types of the true things, but into
heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf; not that He often should
have offered Himself, even as the high priest enters into the holies year by year with blood of
others; since He must often have suffered from foundation of the world
(/katabolis kosmouBut now once, at the completion of the ages
aionon, He has been manifested for putting away of sin through the sacrifice of
Himself. (Heb 9:24-26 KJVII)

In Galations 1:3-4 Paul declares we are in a present evil age /aionas

Grace to you, and peace, from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,
who gave Himself for our sins, so that He may deliver us out of this present evil age
aionas, according to the will /thelima of our God and Father.(Gal. 1:3-4
KJVII)

In Romans 12:2 Pauls warns us not to be not conformed to this age /aioni)
And be not conformed to this age , but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, in order to prove by you what is the good and pleasing and perfect
teleion will thelima of God.(Rom 12:2 KJVII)

In Mark 10:28-30 Jesus speaks of the coming age/aioni being Life eternal aionion
And Peter began to say to Him, Behold, we left all and followed You. But answering Jesus
said Truly I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children , or land , for the sake of Me and the gospel that shall not receive
a hundred fold now in this time; houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children
and lands, with persecution; and in the coming age aioni eternal
aionionlife.(MK 10:28-30KJVII)

Eternal (/ aionion)
Now to him (who is) able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus
Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery during eternal /aioniois) times,
but now has been made plain, and by the prophetic Scriptures, according to the commandment
of the eternal aioniou God,made known /gnoristhentos for
obedience of faith to all the nations; (Rom 16:25-26 KJVII)

A more accurate translation of the above would read as according to the revelation of the mystery
in times everlasting (/hronois aioniois)according to the command of the
Everlasting (aioniou) God.
Consider Jesus saying concerning the End and the separation of the sheep from the goats (Mt
25:31-46);
But when the Son of Man comes in His Glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on
the throne of His Glory. And before Him shall be gathered all the nations, and He will
separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He
will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on (His) left (Mt 25:31 33 KJVII)
5

How does it end?

The Goats; these shall go away into everlasting (aionion) punishment (Mt 25:46)
The Sheep; the righteous into everlasting (aionion life.(Mt 25:46)
Presently; through faith and the truth we have Hope of Times Everlasting
Paul a slave of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to (the) faith of (the) Elect
/eklekton/quality of God and full knowledge (epignosin)of (the) truth
according to godliness, on Hope of eternal (aioniou everlasting) Life which the
God that does not lie promised before(pro) the times(chronon) of the ages
(aionion/everlasting).(Titus 1:1-2 KJVII)

Presently; we are saved having that hope of Life Everlasting

For we also once (were) senseless, disobedient, led astray, slaving for various lusts and
pleasures, living in lust and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness and
love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works in righteousness which we had
done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and
renewal of the Holy Spirit, which He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ, our
Savior; that being justified by His Grace, we should become heirs according to (the) hope of
eternal (aioniou /everlasting). (Titus 3:3-7 KJVII)

THE HOLY CALLING / Agia Klisei

but suffer hardship with the gospel, according to the power of God, the (One) having saved
us, and having called kalesontas/summoned us with a holy /agia)
calling klisei/invitation, not according to our works, but according to his purpose
/prothesin/the purpose and grace given to us in Christ before eternal
aionion/everlasting times, but now revealed fanerotheisan by
the appearance of our Savior, Jesus Christ, making death of no effect. (2Tim 1:8-9 KJVII)

Discrepancy of translation;

possession, so that you may openly speak of the virtues of the One who has called
kalesantosyou out of darkness into His marvellous light. (1Pet 2:6-9 KJVII)

Compare (1Peter 2:6-9 with Isaiah 28:16)

Therefore thus saith the Lord, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations() of
Sion a costly stone( ), a choice(/quality), a cornerstone(), a precious() [stone], for its foundations (); and he
that believes( ) [on him] shall by no means be ashamed. (Is 28:16 Brenton LXX)

He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and those with Him are the called klitoiand

Because of this, it is also contained in the scripture Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, an elect

priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a possession, so that you may openly speak of the
virtues of the One who has called/kalesantosyou out of darkness into His
marvellous light. (1Pet 2:6-9)

The word eklekton/quality as it appears many times in the OT Septuagint, here

are just a few (In Every instance referring to quality and not election).
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they had not known. Thus
the land became desolate after them, so that no one passed through or returned; for they made
the pleasant (/eklektin land desolate." (Zech 7:14)
For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd against the land: he shall not visit that which is
perishing, and he will not seek that which is scattered, and he shall not heal that which is
bruised, nor guide that which is bruised, nor guide that which is whole: but he shall devour
the flesh of the choice ones /eklekton and dislocate the joints of their necks. (Zach
11:16)
For thus saith the Lord Almighty; Yet once I will shake the heaven and the earth, and the sea,
and the dry land; and I will shake all nations, and the choice (/eklekton portions of
all the nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory; saith the Lord Almighty.
(Haggai 2:7 - 8)

And I will make thy buttresses jasper, and thy gates crystal, and thy border precious
eklektous stones. (Isaiah 54:12)

KNOW / Ginosko)
Defn. information obtained by involvement /experience
Example 1:

Consider the serpent from the beginning who;

was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. (Gen 3:1
KJV)

He said unto the woman;

Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know ithi that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing /ginoskontes
good and evil. (Gen 3:4 KJV)

They;
did eat.(Gen 3:6 KJV)
And the eyes of them both were opened, andthey knew egnosan that they were
naked.(Gen 3:7 KJV)
And Adam knew /egno Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I
have gotten a man from the LORD. (Gen 4:1 KJV)

Note: In this Example the information obtained by involvement ( ginosko) applies to the
overwhelming experience of Good and evil, the experience through the awareness of nakedness, and the
experience of intimacy between a man and woman.

Example 2:

the use of the word knowledge concerning Joseph and Mary

And the Angel said to her, Do not fear, Mary for you have found favor with God. And,
Behold! You will conceive in womb and bear a son; and you will call His name
Jesus. And He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. And the
Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, And He will reign over the house of
Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there will be no end. But Mary said to the angel, How
will this be in view of the fact that I do not know/ginosko
a man. And answering her the angel said to her, (The) Holy Spirit will come on you, , and
power of the Most High will overshadow you-for this reason that (one) being born of you will
be called Son of God. (Lk 1:30-35 KJVII)
Behold! the virgin will conceive in her womb and will bear a son; and they will
call His name Emmanuel-which is, being translated, God with us. And
Joseph being awakened from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took
(Mary as) his wife; and (he) did not know /eginosken her until she bore
her son, the First born. And he called His name Jesus(Mt1:23-25)

Note: In this example the Ginosko(knowledge) applies to intimacy.

Foreknowledge Prognosei
Defn. information already obtained by involvement.
A task, a plan, an activity, an experience, or an encounter which has already taken place, or
has already been undertaken, and performed having past exposure to. (Not to be confused
with prescience, and also, to the other extreme does not mean without Knowing).
The word foreknowledge appears seven times in the New Testament;
1. CONCERNING THE FATHER BEING WITH THE SON BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD
Indeed having been foreknown /proegnoubefore the foundation of the
world (/katabolis tou kosmou (1Pet 1:20 KJVII)
2. CONCERNING GODS PLAN OF INCLUSION FOR THE JEWS AND GENTILES

Him to be (the) first born( of many brothers. Whom He
predestinated predetermined, these He also called he called;
and whom He called ), these He also justified( he justified); But
whom He justified(), these He also glorified( he glolirified). (Rom
8:29-30 KJVII)

3. CONCERNING GODS INVOLVEMENT WITH ISRAEL, HIS PEOPLE

I say, then, Did not God thrust away his people? Let it not (be said)! For I am an Israelite, out
of (the) seed of Abraham; of (the) tribe of Benjamin. God did not thrust away His people
whom He foreknewproegno. (Rom 11:1-2 KJVII )

4. CONCERNING THE FULFILMENT OF GODS SALVATION PLAN BY THE GIVING OF HIS SON
Men, Israelites hear these words Jesus the Nazarene, a man from God, having been approved
among you by works of power and wonders and miracles, which God did in your midst
through Him, as you yourselves also knowoithate/you understand)); this one given
to you by the before-determined counsel/bouli and foreknowledge
/prognosei of God, (you) having taken (Him) by lawless hands, having crucified
(Him), you put Him to death. (Acts 2:22-23 KJVII)

5. CONCERNING THE FULFILMENT OF GODS PLAN BY THE GIVING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to (the) electeklektis/the quality ones,
sojourners of (the) dispersion of Pontus, of Galatia, of Cappadocia, of Asia, and of Bithynia,

Jesus Christ: Grace and peace multiplied to you. (1Pet 1:1-2 KJVII)

6. CONCERNING THE THINGS THAT WERE LEARNT TO BE REMEMBERED

Beloved, I now write this epistle to you, in which by reminder I stir up your sincere mind to
remember the words spoken by the prophets, and those of the apostles, by us, the Lord and
Saviour; First knowingginoskontes) this, that during the last of the days

beginning of creation
Then beloved, you knowing beforehandproginoskontes/foreknowing),
watch lest being led away by the error of the lawless, you fall from your own steadfastness.
(2Pet 3:1-17 KJVII)

7. CONCERNING PAULS PAST, NOT PAULS FUTURE

Truly, then, all the Jews know my way of life from youth, which from the beginning was
among my nation in Jerusalem; who beforeknew
(/proginoskontes/foreknowing) me from the first, if they will to testify that
according to the most exact sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee. (Acts 26:4-5 (KJVII)
