Commentary on Selected Psalms

                                 Psalm 21:8-11

These verses in this Psalm informs all humans that God will destroy only His enemies. God's only enemies are spiritual death, sin, evil, and the Devil. I John 3:8 (KJB). The very purpose for Christ coming into the world was to destroy all of the evil works of the Devil. Jesus stated that He did not come into the world to judge any humans. When He suffered and died on the cross, He judged only the Devil and all evil. John 12:47; John 12:31-32 (KJB). God had the Apostle Paul to write that flesh and blood, meaning all humans, were not the enemies of Christians, but their enemies were the Devil and all evil in the world and in high places, meaning the spiritual realm. Ephesians 6:12 (KJB). If only the Devil and all evil are the enemies of God's people, then they must be the only enemies of God.

The spiritual death within all humans is the enemy of God, not the living nature of humans that God creates and loves. Genesis 1:27; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and God's Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). God's Almighty Power and Love has made a way for all of His living humans to repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). In I Corinthians 15:22, the "all" in the first part of this verse means that every human has inherited spiritual death within them as a result of Adam's sin. But the "all" in the second part of this verse can only mean the same "all" that is in the first part of this verse. This verse clearly teaches that Christ will raise all of His living humans from the dead. Both of the "alls' in this verse is the same as the "whosoever" in John 3:16. God will make sure that the "whosoever" will be all of His living humans. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). The next verse, I Corinthians 15:23, describes the order in which God's resurrections of all His living humans will happen. Christ has been resurrected first and then His "firstfruits" which means His Old Testament saints resurrected with Him, His Church in the Rapture, and His Tribulation saints at the beginning of His millennial reign. Matthew 27:51-53; I Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:4 (KJB). The last resurrection will be all of God's repentant, living humans when He comes to make His final judgment. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5 (KJB).

I Corinthians 15:24-28 describes the type of judgment that Christ will make in the end of the world. He will deliver "the kingdom to God" having cleansed and purified His entire creation. He will have "put down all rule and all authority and power."That can only mean the Devil's power. That phrase comports exactly with Christ's teaching that He will only judge and destroy the Devil and all of his evil works. Matthew 13:35-43; John 12:31-32; John 16:11; I John 3:8; Ephesians 6:12 (KJB).

I Corinthians 15:26 clearly teaches that "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death." Living humans that God creates and loves can never be His enemies. This verse comports exactly with Christ's final judgment of all dead humans whom he casts into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). God will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all of His repentant. living humans confined to the regions of death to separate their spiritual deaths that He will cast into the lake of fire from their repentant, living natures that He will recreate to live on His recreated earth. Psalm 75:3; II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).

God will "find out those who hate thee." This can only mean that God will separate all evil from His entire creation. Psalm 21:8 (KJB). Only the spiritual deaths within each human can hate God. Living humans can never hate God. Under the influence of the evil within them, they may claim that they disbelieve in God, but they can never hate Him. God will cast only those who hate Him, which will be the separated, spiritual deaths inside of every human, into an eternal "fiery oven." Psalm 21:9 (KJB). The "fruit" and the "seed" that God will destroy can only be produced from the spiritual deaths inside of every living human. Psalm 21:10 (KJB). The Devil and all evil attempted to utterly destroy a part of God's creation; that is, His living humans. The Devil tried to annul God's goodness that He put into all of His living humans, but the Devil utterly failed because of the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. John 12:31-32; I Corinthians 15:20-28 (KJB).
