and in arranging, when the time should have fully come, that everything in heaven and on earth should be unified in Christ??11 the Christ through whom it is our lot to have been predestined by the design of him who in everything carries out the purpose of his will,

far above all hierarchies, authorities, powers, and dominions, and all titles that can be bestowed not only in this world but in the world to come.

to show the incomparable wealth of his mercy throughout the ages to come by his goodness to us through Christ Jesus.

So you must take God's armor, so that when the evil day comes you will be able to make a stand, and when it is all over to hold your ground.
