as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
God’s ultimate plan is to bring together — to ultimately resolve — all things in Christ, either through Jesus as a Savior or Jesus as a Judge; this will happen in the fullness of the times.
As the King of kings and the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ will rule this world. Every knee will bow to Him, and all things will be put under His feet. This includes all things both which are in heaven and are on earth. This mysterious plan is that all things will come together in Him.
