Job 25:1-6
But when Christ returns to defeat and capture the Beast and the False Prophet in the battle of Armageddon, He will send an angel to dig that coward, the Devil, out of whatever hole he is hiding in to cast him into the bottomless pit for a thousand years. Jesus will then begin His thousand year reign on the earth. But even Jesus' thousand year reign will not cause the final end of all influence of evil on humans. Even though God will have blocked any influence of the Devil, the Beast, and the False Prophet over humans for a thousand years, somehow, some kind of negative spirit will remain in the world to cause people to again return to evil. This had to have been that same kind of evil spirit, or negative consciousness, that somehow entered heaven and caused the downfall of Lucifer. Positive consciousness, which God is and which He has given to man, cannot understand what a negative consciousness could be because it seems to be less than nothing; that is, absolute nothingness. God has an infinite knowledge of all that is good and creative. For this reason, evil is a mystery to God because it seems to be anti-knowledge. II Thessalonians 2:7. God's Word consistently calls evil "vanity" which means both excessive pride and absolute emptiness.
This mystery of evil to God could account for God's statement in Isaiah 45:7. This verse demonstrates that God may feel guilty because while He created everything that is good, He may have at the same time inadvertently and unknowingly allowed a realm of nonexistence which contains all evil. God created both light and darkness for good purposes, but unknown to Him the darkness may also contain a realm of absolute nothingness.
But during Christ's thousand year reign God will be watching humanity, and He will learn how evil spirits get into His creations. Toward the end of Christ's reign, millions of humans will again fall under the influence of evil. They will be ready for the Devil to deceive them and mislead them when God releases him from his prison. But by this time, God will have learned how this evil influence got around Christ's perfect reign to again cause spiritual death in humans. Revelation 20:7-10.
God will allow the Devil to lead this massive evil army to attack His beloved city, Jerusalem, and all of His loyal saints within it. But at this time, God will have already learned how to completely separate all evil, and even any possible influence of evil, from all of His creations forever. God will use His consuming fire, which is the lake of fire, to devour all of their systems in order to absolutely separate their spiritual deaths from their living images which God put into them. The fact that God used the word "devour" means that God will consume and dissolve their systems in order to recover their living images that He created and completely eliminate their spiritual deaths which are totally evil. Revelation 20:9-10; Isaiah 66:22-24.
God will then cast the Devil alive into the lake of fire just as He did the Beast and the False Prophet. The fact that God used the word "alive" means that He will inject a positive consciousness into them so that they will fully feel forever all of the pain and agony that evil can cause a positive consciousness to suffer. God will fully repay the Devil for the suffering of His Son on the cross. In this way, God will cause their minds to become so preoccupied with torment that they will never be able to think of any way to inject evil into God's creations again. God will also block any possible evil influence over His creations forever. In this way, God will be able to create righteous systems; that is, a new heaven and earth that He will be able to protect from any evil influences forever. Revelation 20:10; Revelation 21:1-5.
God will not allow the Devil, the Beast, and the False Prophet to retain their negative consciousnesses because negative consciousness, being the opposite of positive consciousness, may actually enjoy pain and suffering because they believe it will lead to annihilation. Satan, having learned this fact from the influence of evil over him, invented false systems of excessive but destructive pleasures by misusing some of God's good ideas. By causing humans to become addicted to systems of excessive pleasure, Satan sought to enhance their desire for annihilation. As a fact, many humans know that the poison of excessive pleasures will lead them to destruction which they hope will be annihilation.
Bildad did not realize that God had touched him to be a prophet in Job 25:6 to reveal man's ruined condition and a future Savior who would rescue all of humanity from its fall.
