What did the plan of the ages include?

Les explains that in the plan of the ages, according to the eternal purposes Paul puts it in Ephesians 3, were the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the ascension. Every jot and tittle detail was formulated in the predetermining council before anything ever began to happen. He also connects this to Genesis 1, where the triune God in His power and sovereignty delegated to the Son, who spoke the Word and the universes began to come together, the angelic hosts were created, and Adam appeared. In God's dealing with the human race, He divides between Israel, His earthly people, and the church, His heavenly people.
