Commentary on the Gospel of John

                                 Chapter Twelve

                                                                                                                                              Verses 28-33 continued

Jesus then perfectly described exactly what God's judgment of the world; that is, the entire human race would be like. Jesus would suffer on a cross, be buried, His Spirit would descend into Hell, and He would rise from the dead to cast out the Devil and all of his evil works, including spiritual death, from the lives of all living humans whom He creates and loves, the materialists and the spiritualists alike. Hebrews 2:9-18; I John 3:8. Jesus' judged the Devil and all evil in order to separate it all from all living humans whom He creates and loves. Jesus judged all living humans by taking their eternal punishment for their sins and evil on Himself so that He could liberate them all from eternal separation from Him. Jesus judged Himself in the place of all humans.

Jesus then prophesied that when He would be lifted up on the cross, he would draw all humans to Him. In other words, He would suffer and die and rise again to save the entire human race, some by His grace and all others in a great worship service near the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14. When Jesus spoke of being lifted up on a cross, He referred to the time when God told Moses to make a brazen serpent on a pole so that all who looked upon it would be saved from death in a plague of fiery serpents. John 3:14; Numbers 21:5-9. Some of the people died from the poisonous bites of the fiery serpents before Moses made the brazen serpent on a pole, but God did not say they would be dead forever. All those who looked at the brazen serpent on a pole symbolized every living human who would become saved by grace while still alive in the flesh. John 5:24. But those who died of the poisonous bites symbolized those whom God must condemn to the regions of death because of their sins and evil that still adheres to their living natures. Hebrews 9:27. But even they will look upon Christ when He appears to them in a great worship service near the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God of their own free will so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil, symbolized by the fiery serpent, to dissolve their systems in order to separate their cleansed and forgiven living natures for Him to recreate and resurrect from their evil, spiritual deaths that He will cast into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 20:11-15.

No verse in the entire Bible (KJB) teaches that living humans who reject faith in Christ and salvation by grace until their physical deaths, God will cast into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15. This verse clearly teaches that Christ will cast only dead humans that He has separated from living humans into an eternal lake of fire. God casts only dead humans into the lake of fire because He will have already used His fiery wrath against evil, which is Hell itself, to dissolve the systems of all humans confined to the regions of death to separate their living natures whom He has created and loves for Him to resurrect and recreate from their evil, spiritual deaths that He will cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15. When Jesus said He will draw all humans to Himself on the cross, He meant he will eventually save all living humans from evil and eternal death. Christ meant that from the beginning when He refused to curse Adam and Eve, made Eve the mother of all living, and cursed only the Devil and the regions of death. Genesis 3:14-21; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:22.

God has promised that He will "make all things new." Revelation 21:5. Since God made all things, then He must cleanse and recreate all living humans who have become soiled by sin, evil, and spiritual death. Revelation 4:11; Colossians 1:15-20; John 5:28-29; Revelation 22:11-12.
