The Israelites
God created every human who would ever live in His image with a living soul imbued with His good works for their lives that they should choose to do. Genesis 1:27; Ecclesiastes 9:1. God told Eve that she would be the mother of every one of these living souls which God can never lose. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 20:38; Genesis 3:20. But every human possesses a dual nature; that is, a good life created by God and an evil and dead nature injected into them by the Devil. Deuteronomy 30:11-20. In every verse of the Bible(KJB) that speaks of God's wrath, He directs His wrath towards sin and evil itself, never towards the living souls and spirits of humans that He created and loves. Exodus 32:10-14; Numbers 16:45-48; Job 21:30; Job 42:7-10; Psalm 21:1-13; Proverbs 11:23; Ezekiel 22:17-22; Nahum 1:2-3; Revelation 11:18; Revelation 14:9-12; Ephesians 6:12; I John 3:8; II Timothy 1:10.
Ephesians 6:12 clearly teaches that God wars against the Devil and evil itself, not against living humans whom He created and loves.
I John 3:8 clearly teaches that Christ came into the world to "destroy the works of the Devil." Living humans can only be the work of God and can never become the work of the Devil. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 20:38.
II Timothy 1:10 clearly teaches that Christ "hath abolished death," meaning spiritual death, and He will bring all life back to light and immortality. Taken in context, this verse pertains to salvation by grace. But since Christ has abolished spiritual death itself, then a secondary message of the gospel has to be that He will raise all human life from the regions of the dead. In Revelation 20:5, Christ raises all of His living souls and spirits from the regions of the dead, and in Revelation 20:11-15, He casts only the spiritual deaths of humans, which is totally evil, into the lake of fire which constitutes God's eternal wrath against evil. Deuteronomy 32:21-22.
