The Advents and Judgments of Christ
When Christ gained all power over all of the regions of death after His resurrection, He changed them all to only places of temporary punishment for sins and evil. Revelation 1: 17-18. This victory over all sin and evil amounted to a removal of the permanent curse of the ground which Noah's burnt offering symbolized. God's curse means eternal death and separation from Him. But Christ changed that to temporary punishment and separation from God. Satan tried to get Job "to curse God and die" which meant he wanted to subject Job's living soul and spirit to permanent spiritual death. Job 2:9. Satan's temptation of Job symbolized his desire to cause the eternal deaths of all living humans. Job has been credited with great faith, but actually God did not allow Job to lose His faith. Job 19:25-27. God has allowed Satan to persecute the human race to the utmost to prove that the love and faith that God puts into the living souls and spirits of all humans can never fail. Some humans do curse God, but in the end, God will not allow their faith to fail. God creates all humans in His image which is good, and that good system cannot fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14. If God's Love cannot fail, then neither can His faith fail which stems from His Love. I Corinthians 13:8; Galatians 5:6; Romans 12:3. If all humans are alive to God, then they are permanently alive. Luke 20:38.
When Christ descended into Hell, He left behind there all of the sins and evil of all mankind that He bore on the cross, and He proved that He did that when He rose immaculate from the dead. Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:27. The burnt offering symbolizes this victory of Christ. Because of Christ's victory over all sins and eternal deaths, in the end of the world, Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to judge and purge all living humans confined to the regions of death in order to separate their repentant lives which He will raise from the dead from their unrepentant, evil deaths which He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; I Corinthians 3:11-15; I Corinthians 15:22; I Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:15. Christ will raise all of His living souls and spirits that He created and loves back to life from the regions of the dead and recreate them with new bodies to live on His recreated earth, and He will use His fiery wrath against evil to separate all of their sins and evil from them for Him to cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:15; John 5:28-29.
Christ came to Abraham and promised to give him and his descendants, who would write His Word and bring the Savior into the world, the land of Palestine forever. God will have to raise them all from the dead to do this. God also promised Abraham that through him and his descendants, all of humanity will be blessed, meaning God will give all living humans either a higher or a lower form of salvation. Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 17:6-8. God considers any curse against His people to be a curse against Himself. Curses against God proceed directly from the evil nature that the Devil injected into humans. Christ told Abraham that He will curse all humans who curse Abraham's people. Christ judges all who hate the Jews not only with punishment in their lives on earth, but He will also send their living souls and spirits to a fiery Hell if they do not repent and get saved by His grace. John 5:24.
The people of Sodom and Gomorrah displayed their contempt and hatred for Lot and his family when they tried to break down his door to get to the angels whom they thought were men and whom they knew that Lot had to protect. The angels punished these evil people by blinding them, and God destroyed them all with His fiery wrath against evil which symbolized the fact that God will send all who hate the Jews to a fiery Hell until Christ's final Judgment. At that time, Christ will separate their unrepentant, evil natures from them for Him to cast into the lake of fire, but He will raise back to life their repentant but puny good souls and spirits that He put into them when He created them for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15.
God has the right to create living humans with puny souls and spirits or strong souls and spirits as He wills. God does this to fully test His Love for His creations. Nevertheless, every human remains responsible for the choices he makes. Even the worst and most cruel humans have done some good works which proves that they still retain weak and puny souls and spirits that God will cause to repent in Revelation 5:11-14 so that He can raise them from the dead for Him to recreate. Romans 9:13-24.
