The World and the Word

                              Nothingness and Reality

In Isaiah 40:17, God informs humans that "All nations are before Him as nothing...," and even "less than nothing." God calls this "less than nothing" vanity. All through the Bible (KJB), God refers to sin and evil as being vanity; that is, absolute emptiness or excessive pride. Excessive pride was the original sin of Lucifer that caused evil to enter into him. Ezekiel 28:17. Excessive pride, which is a desire to be independent of God's Love and care, was the original sin of Adam and Eve which allowed Satan to inject spiritual death, which is totally evil, into their beings and all of their descendants. Romans 5:12. All of this means that while sin and evil can be identified by the use of the idea of nothing, it actually happens to be "less than nothing;" that is, absolute nothingness. God also gave humans negative numbers which identify absolute nothingness, but negative numbers cannot be understood by positive consciousness. II Thessalonians 2:7. One can understand that God created positive consciousness to be wholly creative, but negative consciousness is wholly destructive.

God informs all humans in Daniel 4:35 that He uses the idea of nothing to indicate the evil that He observes in all humans. Nevertheless, God's Will will be accomplished in Heaven and on earth. Matthew 6:10. God's Will in Heaven can only be absolute which means no one disobeys God in Heaven. This also means that God's Will will eventually be absolute on earth. In the end of the world, God will use His fiery wrath to purge all sin and evil from earth and all leftover vestiges of Lucifer's sin from Heaven. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:1-5. The phrase in Revelation 21:5, "Behold, I make all things new...," can only mean that God will recover and recreate absolutely everything He originally created. Many verses in the Bible (KJB) reveal that only the Devil and evil itself are the enemies of God, not living humans whom He created. I John 3:8; I Corinthians 15:26. In the end of the world, God will use His fiery wrath to purge the total evil from all humans still in their graves and cast it into the lake of fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Matthew 3:11-12. Revelation 21:8 describes the totally evil nature of man, not his living spirit and soul which is capable of doing good. In the end of the world, God will raise all living humans still in their graves for Him to recreate to be righteous and live on His recreated earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5. God's Love and Christ's sacrifice and resurrection to save all living humans cannot fail. I Corinthians 13:8; John 6:51; John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:22; I Timothy 6:13; Revelation 21:5; Revelation 22:11-12; John 5:28-29.
