The Tree of Life: Divine Economy Unfolding - Orthodox (Jeremiah 29:11)

Source: ChurchWiseAI85 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Malick's The Tree of Life moves between cosmic creation, family suffering, and final restoration—time viewed from eternity's perspective. Orthodox theology speaks of divine economy (oikonomia): God's plan unfolding through creation, fall, incarnation, and restoration. Jeremiah 29:11 fits within this grand narrative: exile is not chaos but part of God's providential leading toward theosis. The plans God knows are eternal, working toward our participation in divine life. Suffering is real but not ultimate; God's economy bends toward glory. Trust the divine plan spanning all of time.
