The World and the Word

                             The Results of the Fall

The Devil did not count on God becoming a human and dying the eternal deaths of all humans saved by grace and all humans within the regions of the dead and rising on the third day victorious over the first death so that He could change their eternal deaths to temporary deaths and give them eternal life. Satan has no faith whatsoever in God's Love. Hebrews 2:9; Revelation 1:18; I Corinthians 15:26. When Jesus' Spirit descended into Hell, He gained power over all three regions of the dead. He went to the bottomless pit to preach the gospel to the lost spirits killed in the flood and rescued them from eternal death. Christ cleansed them all of their sins when they repented by washing them in the water that He shed on the cross. The great flood contained that same water which separated their total evil from them with the deaths of their bodies. I Peter 3:18-20. Because Christ descended into Hell, He could use His consuming fire, which equals His wrath against evil, to separate the eternal deaths of all those in the Sea, Death, and Hell from their eternal lives, resurrect their eternal lives and cast their eternal deaths into the lake of fire. All through the Bible (KJB), God directs His wrath against sin and evil itself, never against living humans whom He created and loves. God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I John 3:8; Ephesians 6:12; II Peter 3:9; Luke 20:38; John 1:29; John 5:28-29; I Corinthians 3:11-15.

God gave the burnt offering to Noah to symbolize the fact that God will rescue the living souls and spirits of all Adamic humans confined to one of the regions of death. All living humans that God saves by His grace will be washed in the blood and water that He shed on the cross. Christ has saved the lives of all pre-Adamic humans by washing away the evil in their bodies and cleansing their living spirits of all sin by the water He shed on the cross. Christ has also saved their bodies by recreating them. Christ has saved the living bodies of all the Old Testament saints saved by grace by recreating them when He rose from the dead. Matthew 27:52-53. Christ will bring the recreated bodies of the Church saints with Him to change them into spiritual bodies like His in the Rapture of the Church. I John 3:2; II Corinthians 5:1-5. Christ will recreate the bodies of the Tribulation saints and resurrect them in the beginning of His millennial reign. Revelation 20:4 and 6. But Revelation 20:5 clearly teaches that after the thousand year reign of Christ, He will resurrect the living souls and spirits of all humans within the regions of the dead, and Revelation 21:1-5 teaches that He will recreate their bodies to live on His recreated earth. God states in Revelation 21:5: "Behold, I make all things new..." Since God created "all things," including all living humans, then He must resurrect the good lives of all His humans that He created. Revelation 4:11. God will cast only the dead and evil parts of man's being into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15. God annuls the spiritual deaths of the souls and spirits of all humans saved by His grace the moment they believe. John 5:24; Galatians 2:19-20. God will cleanse with the Water of His Word and recreate the living bodies of all humans saved by His grace in the Rapture of the Church. Ephesians 5:25-27.
