Commentary on Selected Proverbs

                                Proverbs 15:24 (KJB)

This verse constitutes a prophecy that Christ will resurrect all of His living humans from the bowels of Hell. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). This verse directly contradicts those who contend that when living humans go to Hell, they stay there forever. In fact, no verse in the entire Bible states that living humans stay in Hell forever. Jesus Himself contradicted that belief when He taught that He is the resurrection and the life of all dead humans who believe in Him. John 11:25; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

This verse states that "the way of life is above." Only Jesus is the way and the life, and so this verse prophesies that Christ will appear above Hell to all living humans confined there. John 14:6; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will appear to the "wise," which means they will all be smart enough to realize that when they come to faith in Christ as their Savior, He will have the power to get them out of Hell. When they repent and return to the faith in Christ that He put into them when He created them, then Christ will separate their living natures from their spiritual deaths so that He can resurrect their living natures and condemn their dead natures to the eternal lake of fire. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27; II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Matthew 13:36-43; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). This verse cannot be spiritually interpreted to mean that Hell is inside humans. Hell is not inside humans. Hell is a place "beneath;" that is, under the ground, just as this verse states. Genesis 3:17 (KJB).

Spiritual death is inside all humans which causes all humans to sin and some to commit evil acts which means that God must condemn all living humans who fail to repent of their sins and evil and accept Christ as their Savior while still alive in the flesh to the regions of death when they die. John 8:23-24; Hebrews 9:27 (KJB). But since Christ has abolished death, and since all living humans live in God's sight, then Christ will appear to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can resurrect them all and recreate them all with new lives on His recreated earth. II Timothy 1:10; Luke 20:38; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).
