The book contains a series of ten messages from a conference given by Watchman Nee. While the location and date of the conference are unknown, it was most likely conducted in Shanghai in 1939. The main subject of the conference was God’s eternal plan. The messages explain the two eternities and the meaning of God’s eternal plan. They expound the Lord’s prayer and its relationship to God’s eternal plan. They point out Christ the Son of God and His place in God’s eternal plan. They cover the origin of Satan, the purpose of the creation of man and his fall, and the work of Christ in fulfilling God’s eternal plan. They expose Satan’s organization and methods in frustrating God’s eternal plan, and they conclude by revealing the position and responsibility of the church in God’s eternal plan.
