The Earth was created for man and man for God. Perhaps this will explain the reason why the visions of the prophets were centered on just this planet, and no other. and of all the many billions of human beings that made this planet their home, only one of them became the object of God's attention. That was the man Christ Jesus. It is evident, therefore, that both elements - the chosen Earth, and the chosen Man, are both involved in God's eternal purpose and the object of His search.

Richard O. Govier (1928-2018) was a Protestant pastor and missionary and travelled the world in that capacity. He planted a number of churches as well as training pastors who served in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and across the United States.
