Especially enlightening is verse 39: “For Behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” There it stands revealed—the one mighty eternal central purpose behind both the invisible and visible universe. It is a key to all the mysteries that are, or ever will be; consequently it must be the corner-stone of any philosophy that undertakes to think order and perspective to the all-in–all surrounding us.
"What a piece of work is man! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving, how like an angel! In apprehension how like a God!” The concept will grow when we remember that man is eternal—without beginning or end—and therefore exists when these blazing expanses were not even nebulae; and it becomes easier of comprehension when we accept as a final generalization: “Man is God in embryo: God is man full grown.”
