Commentary on the Gospel of John

                                 Chapter Six

                                                                                                                                      Verses 34-40 continued

When Jesus also said in verse 37 that those who come to Him, "I will in no wise cast out," He meant that He will eventually cause all living humans to return to faith in Him of their own free will and that He can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Luke 20:38. Jesus preached in verse 40 that everyone who sees Him and believes in Him will obtain everlasting life. In Revelation 5:11-14, all living humans within the regions of death see the Son, and they worship Him, and they recognize Him as the Lamb of God. This event can only be conversion through faith obtained by free choice.

Jesus further preached that He came from Heaven to do His Father's Will which was that He would "lose nothing." Since Jesus can "lose nothing," then He must recover all things that He ever created from the power of evil. Romans 11:36. In this statement, Jesus clearly promised that He will raise all living humans still in their graves in a final and general resurrection in the end of the world. John 5:28-29.  Jesus further taught that His Father's Will was that all who see the Son and believe in Him will be saved. All those who see the Son with spiritual faith while still alive in the flesh will be saved by grace. John 5:24. All who see the Son in a great worship service near the end of the world will all repent and believe in the Lamb, and Christ will give them all a lesser form of salvation. Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:28-29.

Jesus' phrase "I will raise him up at the last day" has a double meaning. Jesus meant that He will raise all humans saved by His grace on the last day of the Church Age which will be the Rapture of the Church. I Thessalonians 4:13-18. Jesus also meant that He will raise back to life the rest of humanity who did not become saved by grace in a final and general resurrection in the end of the world. Revelation 20:5; John 5:28-29.

Parenthetically, Jesus preached about His Judgment in the end of the world. Matthew 13:49-50. But actually, the world never ends. Only the evil in the world ends. Ephesians 3:21. Everything that God creates is eternal. Ecclesiastes 3:14. When Jesus spoke about the end of the world, He meant that He will end the Age in which evil infected His world. Christ will recreate the Heaven and the earth after the end of the world. II Peter 3:13. In light of Jesus' statement about the end of the world, "Behold, I make all things new," Jesus could only have meant that He will burn up this present world to purge it of all evil that causes sin. Christ will recover all that He ever created, and He will recreate it all to be wholly righteous. II Peter 3:9-13. God wills that no one should perish but that all will come to repentance, and since no one can thwart the will of God, then He will bring all living humans to repentance and a higher and a lesser form of salvation. II Peter 3:9. God initiated the Old Testament burnt offerings to symbolize the way He would save all living humans who do not become saved by grace. Genesis 8:20-21; Leviticus 5:10. Christ will also cleanse and recreate Heaven because it has been tainted by the rebellion of Lucifer. God will use His fiery wrath against evil to cleanse and purge His entire creation of all evil and the sins it causes. II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Luke 3:16-17.
