I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
Skipping to the last page of a novel can be the only way to relax into the middle of it. Life doesn't come with a last page. You can lie awake wondering whether the job will last, whether the test results will come back clear, or whether the person you love will still be beside you in ten years, and there is nowhere to look it up.
