Speculations about the Creative Consciousness

 In the absence of consciousness, can a human experience appearances? In the case of the dead body of a human the answer is obviously "no." Nothing never has appearances. The only known power in the universe that can have appearances is consciousness. The dead body of a human cannot even have a consciousness of nothing. Its consciousness has been reduced to an absolute nothingness with no appearances whatsoever. An active consciousness must have the idea of nothing in order to be able to tell the difference between something and nothing.

Since the dead body of a human can experience no difference between something and nothing, then it can also have no experience of the present; that is, no "now." The dead body can only be in the "now" in the consciousnesses of those who see the dead body. Only an active consciousness can experience a "now" as that brief period between the past in memory or recording devices and the future as a plethora of possibilities. All of this means that only an intelligent consciousness can create good and beneficial systems.

Those who believe in the theory of evolution contend that a non-conscious universe somehow developed the system of life. But in a non-conscious universe, as in the dead body of a human, there can be no difference between something and nothing, and there can be no "now" to establish the passage of time. Such a non-conscious universe could create absolutely nothing.

Those who defend the theory of evolution contend that in the present they can observe that in the past the non-conscious universe formed stars that formed elements that formed molecules that eventually bound themselves together in just the right way to form the system of life. But they forget that they must inject their imaginations; that is, their consciousnesses, into this non-conscious universe in order to be able, in their imaginations, to trace this process that leads to the system of life. In order to try to truly imagine a non-conscious universe, they must try to imagine it as having no difference between something and nothing and no "now" to establish the passage of time. Such a non-conscious universe could create absolutely nothing. When they inject their imaginations into their non-conscious universe, they prove that only an intelligent consciousness can create the universe and life. When they inject their imaginations into their non-conscious universe, they immediately overcome its non-consciousness with their consciousness, and they simply trace the process used by an Infinite Intelligent Consciousness to create the universe and the system of life. Genesis 1:1 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                               Isaiah 30:27-33 (KJB)

These verses describe how God uses His fiery wrath against evil within the history of the human race. None of these verses relate that God ever uses His fiery wrath against evil to eternally destroy any living human whom He creates and loves. These verses relate that God uses His fiery wrath against evil to forever destroy only the Devil and all evil.

The Devil controls the human race like a rider on a horse. The "bridle" that he uses symbolizes the spiritual death that he injects into all human who sin. Like a horse that throws its rider, humans can rebel against this control by the Devil, but just as the rider always regains control of the horse, the Devil always regains control of humans. While humans cannot be responsible for the Devil's control, they are responsible for submitting to that control. But God will use "His tongue as a devouring fire," and His fiery "breath" to "sift the nations with the sieve of vanity." Sin and evil cause a feeling of emptiness inside of humans, but God will use the "sieve" of His fiery wrath against evil to divide the nations from their emptiness that will go through the "sieve." But since the "sieve" is also described as being "vanity," then one could conclude that God will divide the nations from their "vanity" by the emptiness of the "sieve." In either case, God intends to forever save His entire human race from sin, evil, and eternal death. Hebrews 2:9-18; II Timothy 1:10 (KJB).

All humans whom God has saved by His fiery wrath will come to worship Him with songs and great joy. They all will "come into the mountain of the Lord" in Jerusalem in the end of the world. Isaiah 66:13; Isaiah 66:23 (KJB). At that time, the Lord will cause His voice "of a devouring flame" to utterly destroy all sin and evil and the Devil who causes it. Revelation 20:7-10 (KJB). Isaiah used the word "Assyrian" to symbolize all evil because the Assyrians had attacked Jerusalem and had mocked God. Isaiah 37:4-7 (KJB).

God used the phrase "grounded staff" to symbolize His Almighty Power. The power of God was in the staff of Moses. God will give His power to the Messiah, and everywhere He goes there will be the joy of "tabrets and harps." The Messiah will use the power of God to battle evil, and He will shake all evil from His new earth and from all the living humans within it. II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).

God used the word "Tophet" to symbolize His creation of the lake of fire which His fiery breath will kindle. Tophet was the name of the place near Jerusalem where idol worshipers burned their own children in the idol's fires. But God will use the lake of fire to burn only its "king" and all evil. Since the Bible calls the Devil "the god of this world," and since the Devil tempted Jesus by offering Him "all the kingdoms of the world," then Isaiah could not be wrong to call the Devil the "king." II Corinthians 4:4; Matthew 4:8-10 (KJB). God has prepared the lake of fire only for the Devil and for all of the evil and dead natures of all humans, not for any of His living humans whom He creates and loves. Matthew 25:41 (KJB). God never cursed Adam and Eve or any of their descendants because they all are His living humans that He creates and loves. Genesis 3:14-21; Luke 20:38; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 20:5; John 5:28-29; John 11:25-26; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                Isaiah 26:11-19 (KJB)

These verses happen to be about all humans whom God has to consign to the regions of death because of their unrepentant sins, particularly about those whom God had to send to a burning Hell. God created Hell for the Devil and his angels, therefore, no living human belongs there, at least not forever. Matthew 25:41 (KJB).

When God's hand of mercy is lifted up for the people, most will not see it, but eventually they will see it, and when they do see it, they will be ashamed of themselves because they envied God's people who saw it and believed in it. Yet, the fire that God meant for His enemies will consume them in Hell.

God will eventually give His peace to all humans that He has created in His image. God creates every human for a purpose. Therefore, God gives every living human that He creates some good works for them to do in their lives. Evil humans will do very few of the good works that God has given them to do, but they will do some. God creates all of His living humans to be righteous and good which means they all will do some good in their lives. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27 (KJB).

The Devil and all tyrants that have been inspired by him have, through earth's history, had dominion over most of earth's people, but God's people, the Hebrews and Christians, have been inspired by God to witness that He lives.

The fact that all humans do some of the good works that God has given them to do attests to the fact that all humans possess a good, spiritual nature that God has given them. But the fact that all humans will also do some sinful and evil acts attests to the fact that all humans also possess a dead, spiritual nature that has been injected into them by the Devil. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:17; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). Verse 14 teaches that God will cause the dead natures of all humans to be dead forever within the final region of death called the lake of fire. The phrase "they will not rise" implies that the good and living natures of humans will rise from the regions of death. And this event will happen when God visits all of His living humans confined to the regions of death. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

God will increase the nations of the earth when He raises all of His repentant, living humans from the dead, and God will scatter them over the whole of His recreated earth. Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

When Christ visits His living humans in the regions of death, they also will visit Him with their prayers of repentance when they see His face with all of its tremendous Majesty and Love for them. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

Verses 17-18 happens to be about how the human race has suffered greatly in its history because of its sin and evil, but it has miserably failed to deliver itself from the terrible effects of sin and evil. Yet, the human race has not been completely destroyed by sin and evil because all of God's living humans live forever in His sight, and Christ came to earth to save them all from eternal death. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; I Peter 3:18; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB).

Verse 19 happens to be a prophecy about God's final resurrection in the end of the world. God will separate all of His repentant, living humans from all of their dead natures so that He can save their living natures from eternal death, and He will cast all of their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). His living humans can only "awake and sing" if He makes them alive. "The earth shall cast out the dead" into the lake of fire. In this final resurrection, God can only reward living humans for their good works. Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB). Because God never gave Isaiah any direct revelation about His prior resurrections of all His saints saved by His grace, Isaiah assumed that he would be raised back to life in this final resurrection. But Isaiah was saved by grace, and God raised his body back to life when Jesus rose from the dead. Matthew 27:51-53 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                Isaiah 42:5-7 (KJB)

Verse 5 describes how God created His universe. God "stretched them out" which prophesied that which modern science has discovered that the universe constantly expands in all directions from a central location. God also "spread forth the earth" which means He continuously added matter to a central location until He had spread the earth to the size that He wanted. God then spread life all over the earth. God then created humans in His image and put a knowledge of His Spirit into them. Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:7 (KJB). God created humans with a body, soul, and spirit. I Thessalonians 5:23 (KJB). Through his body, a human has a sensual consciousness of the world and his actions within it. Through his soul, a human has a consciousness of himself, his personalty, and his will power. But through his spirit, humans have a consciousness of God and the connection of his whole being to the Being of God. Many humans deny this fact or ignore it, but when they hear or read the Word of God, they often deeply feel the presence of the Spirit of God.

God creates all humans to be good and righteous. Genesis 1:31 (KJB). God will preserve the righteous natures of all humans forever. Psalm 36:6 (KJB). God called a special people to whom He had given a clear revelation that they possessed an inner spirit with its connection to a consciousness of Him. He called them to record His Word and give it to the rest of humanity. But He gave that revelation to only a small minority of the Hebrew people, some of whom would write His Word and give it to the entire human race. Even so, God has preserved His pure, written Word to this day despite the fact that entire nations have sought to destroy it. Psalm 12:6-7 (KJB). Within that Word, God has given His covenant to the entire human race, including all of the Gentiles who greatly need the light of God's Word because they sit in the darkness of evil. God's covenant within His Word happens to be His message of love to the entire human race that He has sent His Son to be their Savior by taking all of their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths upon Himself on a cruel cross and rising from the dead victorious over the Devil and all evil. Genesis 3:15; John 12:31-32; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; I John 3:8; Hebrews 2:9-18; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). If Christ had come to save humans only by His grace, then He would have gained only a partial victory over the Devil and all evil. God never attains partial victories. Whenever God goes to war with His enemies, He completely crushes them out of existence. God will bring all of His living humans back to faith in Him and their knowledge of the connection of their spirits to His Spirit, some by His grace and all others when He appears to them in the end of the world. John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:28-29 (KJB).

Christ will open the blind eyes of all of His living humans confined to the darkness of the prison house, which are the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can bring them all out of the prison and recreate them all with righteous lives on His new earth. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12; John 5:28-29 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                Isaiah 22:12-14 (KJB)

God calls on humans to repent and believe in His forgiveness while they are still alive in the flesh. But many humans do not believe in God or in life after death. They adopt the hedonistic philosophy that they should enjoy all of the pleasures of life because when they die, that will just be the end of them entirely.

God revealed to Isaiah how He will deal with such people. God told Isaiah that He will purge their iniquity after they die. This revelation to Isaiah can only be a prophecy that Christ will appear to all humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Christ will do that so that He can save all of His living humans that He creates and loves from eternal death, and He will resurrect them all and recreate them with a new life on His recreated earth. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

Nowhere does the scriptures teach that God's Will can be impeded by the physical deaths of humans. Since God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," and no thing can ever impede God's Will, then God must certainly save all of His living humans whom He loves from eternal death. II Peter 3:9 (KJB). God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). Since God made Eve "the mother of all living," and since God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, then God can certainly never lose a single, living human to an eternal death in a lake of fire. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). Christ exists as the Savior of all men. Christ can  exist as the Savior of all men only if He saves all men. I Timothy 4:10 (KJB).

Jesus Himself taught that He can raise back to life those who believe in Him after they are dead. John 11:25 (KJB). Then Jesus proved that when He raised Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus' resurrection has a double meaning. Christ will resurrect all of His living humans saved by His grace in the Rapture of the Church. John 14:1-6 (KJB). But Christ will also cause all of His living humans confined to the regions of death because they died in their sins to repent and return to the faith that He put into them when He created them. Genesis 1:27; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will resurrect all of His repentant, living humans to a righteous, recreated life on His recreated earth, and He will cast their separated, dead natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                 Isaiah 14:9-17 (KJB)

These verses describe Lucifer's rebellion against God and how he became Satan whom God will eventually cast alive into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:10 (KJB). All of the dead kings and tyrants of the earth will be temporarily awakened to full consciousness when they see Satan cast into the lake of fire with them. They will all mock Satan and ridicule him because his excessive pride, like theirs, has been reduced to nothing. In the history of the world, most of the rulers of the people have been cruel tyrants who were used by Satan to cause tremendous repression and suffering to their people. So Satan will be mocked by those same tyrants that he had used in such cruel ways. While the full consciousness of these tyrants will fade back into semi-consciousness, God will provide Satan with a full consciousness of the torture of the flames of the lake of fire forever. Full consciousness is the same as intelligent life. But Satan's mind will be so fully occupied with such terrible pain that he will be unable to even think of any way to ever rebel against God again. God will have purged all evil from His creation.

When God casts Satan alive into the lake of fire, he will be covered by worms, and they will also be under him. Worms possess a very low level of consciousness, so God used the word "worms" to represent the semi-consciousness of all of the dead and evil humans confined to the lake of fire. No living human that God creates in His image and whom He loves will be in the lake of fire. In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and return to the faith that He put into them when He created them. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). But these living humans will also have a spiritual death within them. But when they repent and believe in Christ as their Savior, He will use His fiery wrath against evil to melt them down to separate their repentant, living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can save their living natures forever and cast their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). Christ will resurrect all of His repentant, living humans back to an eternal life on His recreated earth, and He will cast all of their dead and evil natures into the eternal lake of fire where they will be like "worms" forever. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). God will purge all evil from His creation so that He can recreate it all to be fully righteous. II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 21:5 (KJB).

When the Psalmist David prophetically wrote about the suffering of Jesus on the cross, God had him to write, "But I am a worm, and no man..." Jesus thought that while on the cross because He had taken all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of all His living humans on Himself on the cross in order to liberate them all from eternal death. Psalm 22:6-22 (KJB). Jesus tasted death for all humans because, like taste, He made it only temporary. Christ rose from the dead victorious over all spiritual death, and all of the sins and evil that causes it, to rescue all of His living humans from the danger of eternal death. II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; Hebrews 2:9-18; I John 3:8; I Corinthians 15:26; John 12:31-32; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB). These verses teach that Jesus came to earth to utterly destroy the Devil and all of his evil works, not any of His living humans that He creates and loves. Genesis 1:27 (KJB).

When Isaiah prophesied about God's salvation of all of His living humans, God had him to write that all of His living humans would be able to look into the lake of fire and see their "worms" which would be their former, semi-conscious spiritual deaths squirming in the lake of fire. Isaiah 66:22-24; Luke 3:6 (KJB). Jesus referred to Isaiah's prophecy when He taught that only the "worms" of all of His living humans would be in the lake of fire. Mark 9:43-48 (KJB). Jesus further taught that all of His living humans "shall be salted with fire." Mark 9:49 (KJB). In other words, all of His living humans confined to the regions of death or on the earth when He appears to them will be preserved forever by His use of His fiery wrath against evil. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Psalm 36:6 (KJB).

But when Jesus taught that, He meant all of His living humans who would not be saved by His grace. All of His living humans who become saved by grace will be forever preserved by being washed clean of all sins, evil, and spiritual deaths by His blood and water He shed on the cross. John 5:24; Revelation 1:5; John 13:1-13 (KJB). When Jesus used the phrase "Have salt in yourselves," He meant that living humans should become saved by His grace and be preserved by the Holy Spirit forever. Mark 9:50 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                Isaiah 6:6-7 (KJB)

God can use His fiery wrath against evil to purge and forgive sins and evil, and He can also use His fiery wrath to purge His entire creation of all sins and evil so that He can recreate it all to be righteous. Isaiah 6:6-7; Leviticus 5:10; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). The purpose of the Old Testament burnt offerings was to cleanse and forgive the believers who offered it. Leviticus 6:8-13 (KJB). The purpose of the Old Testament sin offering was to cleanse and forgive the believer because of the shed blood of the animal. Leviticus 4:13-20 (KJB). The shed blood of the animals symbolized the shed blood of Christ that will cleanse and save all living humans by God's grace as soon as they repent and believe while still alive in the flesh. The altar and the mercy seat inside of the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle where the High Priest once a year sprinkled the blood of an animal symbolized God's salvation by His grace. Leviticus 16:29-34 (KJB). But the brazen altar before the Tabernacle was called the burnt offering altar because it symbolized the fact that God will save the rest of the human race by the use of His fiery wrath against evil. Leviticus 6:8-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).

God gave a sin offering to Adam and Eve when He killed an animal and made coats for them to cover their nakedness which caused them to realize the shame of being sinners in God's sight. Genesis 3:20-21 (KJB). God initiated the sin offering to symbolize all humans who would become saved by His grace.

But after God had killed the entire, evil human race in the world-wide flood, except for Noah and his family who were saved by grace, God grieved because He had to do that. Genesis 6:5-7 (KJB). God determined that He would never destroy the entire human race again. He would provide a way to save them all. God gave Noah the burnt offering to symbolize the fact that He would use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve the beings of all humans who do not become saved by His grace. The burnt offering symbolized that God would forever save all of His living humans that He creates and loves, and He will burn forever their separated, evil natures. Genesis 1:27; I Corinthians 3:11-15; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). God would "not again curse the ground for man's sake" because he would use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve and cleanse all of His living humans confined to the regions of death from all evil. Genesis 3:17 (KJB). God realized that all humans possess an evil nature, but He would never again "smite" all of His living humans as He had done in the flood. The word "smite" in this context means to kill. God gave the burnt offering to Noah to symbolize the fact that in the future God will use His fiery wrath against evil to save all of His living humans confined to the regions of death from eternal death. Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB). Christ will accomplish this salvation when He appears to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).  

 God commanded Moses to "Make thee a fiery serpent" and put it on a pole so that all Israelites who had been bitten by a fiery serpent would live. All of the Israelites who died from the bites of fiery serpents whom God had sent among them symbolized the evil natures of humans. Those who looked upon the serpent made of brass up on the pole symbolically saw Christ on a cross bearing their sins and evil so that they could be saved by His grace. But all of the rest of the Israelites who looked upon the fiery serpent were saved from death by God's mercy. They symbolized the fact that God intends to save His entire, living human race from eternal death. Numbers 21:5-9 (KJB).

I Corinthians 3:11-15 cannot be about salvation by grace for several reasons. These verses use the phrase "every man," and every man is not a Christian. These verses declare that a day will come when every man will be judged by his works. God will reward Christians for their good works, but God will never judge Christians for their good works because He saves them by His grace apart from any good works, and He washes them clean with the blood of Christ. These humans in these verses will be judged by fire. Their evil works will be burned, and they will be rewarded for their good works. They will be saved by fire. Christians are not saved by fire. These verses can only be a prophecy about how Christ will appear to all living humans confined to the regions of death in the end of the world, and He will cause them all to repent and believe in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can forever save their living natures, and He will cast their separated, evil natures into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

One wonders how any Bible believer can get around God's prophecy and promise in Revelation 21:5, "Behold, I make all things new." God creates "all things," including all of His good and living humans that He creates in His image. Genesis 1:17; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). According to His promise, God must save all of His living humans from eternal death and recreate them all. God creates all things for His pleasure. A God of Love and Mercy could certainly never derive any pleasure from His living humans being burnt forever in a lake of fire. Revelation 4:11 (KJB). God's promise agrees completely with Romans 8:20-21 (KJB). God's promise agrees completely with Colossians 1:20 where God promises "to reconcile all things unto Himself." God never cursed His living humans, but God proclaimed that all of His living humans will live forever in His sight. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB). God's promise agrees completely with Jesus' own prophecy in John 5:28-29 (KJB). God will never allow any of His living humans whom He creates and loves to become dead. God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB).

But the Church preaches that God will cast His living humans confined to the regions of death into an eternal lake of fire. Perhaps they preach that because of a misplaced love for Jesus in that they believe that anyone who rejects Christ's salvation by grace deserves to be cast into an eternal lake of fire. Nevertheless, the Church comprises the best people on earth because the Church preaches and witnesses that the gospel of the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus will forever save and provide a home in Heaven to all who will repent and believe in Christ while still alive in the flesh. John 14:6; Acts 4:12 (KJB). 

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                Isaiah 5:20-26 (KJB)

In these verses, Isaiah prophesies about how God will deal with wicked humans. According to verse 25, God considers even evil people to be His people, not their evil natures but their living natures that He creates in His image. Genesis 1:27 (KJB). According to verse 24, God will use His fiery wrath against evil to burn their evil natures, like chaff or stubble, so that He can save their good and living natures that He creates and loves. According to verse 25, God turns His anger toward the evil in people, and yet, He stretches out His hand of mercy to save their good and living natures. According to verse 26, these good and living humans will respond to God's merciful call, and they will return to faith in God. All of this will occur when Christ appears to all of His living humans on the earth and 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 their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve all of their beings so that He can separate their evil natures from them to be cast into the lake of fire, and He will save their repentant natures alive so that He can recreate them all with righteous lives to live forever on His recreated earth. Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB).

God actually has two forms of salvation, some by His grace and all others by His mercy in the end of the world. When Adam and Eve sinned, and the Devil injected spiritual death into their inner beings, God killed an animal and made coats for them to cover their nakedness which caused them shame because they realized that they were now sinners in the sight of a Holy God. Genesis 3:6-13 (KJB). But God shed the blood of an animal and made them coats to temporarily cover their sins to symbolize the fact that God would save some of His living humans by His grace through the shed blood of Himself as their Savior from sin, evil, and eternal death. Genesis 3:15; Genesis 3:20-21 (KJB).

In Genesis 3:15, God promised to save the "seed" of the woman which can only be the entire, living human race that He creates and loves. The "seed" of the woman has a double meaning. It means every living human that God creates, and it also means a coming Savior who would become a living human to sacrifice Himself to save all living humans from eternal, spiritual death and all the sins and evil that causes it. The "seed" of the Devil is injected, spiritual death which puts all humans in danger of eternal, spiritual death and separation from God's Love. Likewise, the "seed" of the woman can only be all living humans of whom a particular, living and sinless human, who would be the Son of God, would come to sacrifice Himself to save them all from eternal death. All of this can be proven by the fact that God never cursed Adam and Eve or any of their descendants. God cursed only the Devil and the ground. God cursed the Devil to be a loathsome creature for all his eternal life in the lake of fire. Genesis 3:14; Revelation 20:10 (KJB). God cursed the ground because He would have to confine unrepentant. living humans there to temporarily suffer in the regions of death for the sins and evil of their lives. But God provided only temporary sufferings of humans for their sins and evil while in their lives on earth or if He had to consign their souls and spirits to the regions of death. Genesis 3:16-19 (KJB). God did that because He knew that He would send His Son to sacrifice Himself in their place on a cross to turn their eternal deaths into temporary deaths by His resurrection from the dead, and He would also abolish all of their sins and evil that causes eternal death. Hebrews 2:9-18 (KJB). Jesus suffered and died on a cross and rose from the dead to utterly destroy all of the evil works of the Devil and to forever save all of His living humans that He loves from eternal death. God's Love can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8; John 12:31-32; I John 3:8; I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10; I Corinthians 15:22; I Corinthians 15:26; Colossians 1:15-23; Matthew 13:36-43 (KJB). God made Eve "the mother of all living" because He would save all living humans to live forever in His sight. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB). 

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                 Isaiah 2:6-22 (KJB)

These verses prophesy about the reaction of humans who live on the earth when Christ appears to them in the last days. Christ will appear to His entire creation in the end of the world, just before His final judgment and His destruction by His fiery wrath of His entire creation. At that time, Christ will cause all of His living humans to repent so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to cleanse His entire creation of all evil so that He can recreate it all to be righteous. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB). God will initiate a tremendous worship service which will begin in Heaven and then be extended to His entire creation including all living humans "on the earth and under the earth."

The overwhelming Power and Majesty of Christ's appearance will cause humans on the earth to flee to caves and rocks to try to hide themselves from the penetrating Power of His Love. But even in their hidden places they will still see Him. In the Light of His glorious face, all humans will realize that all of their idols, such as a love for money and power over others and excessive pleasures, mean nothing, and they will throw them all away. All humans "on the earth and under the earth" will repent and come to faith in Christ as the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

When this great worship service begins in Heaven, all of God's angels, and the Church, and all others who are saved by grace will worship Christ as the Lamb of God the Savior. The angels will worship because Christ has saved humans, and the humans will worship because He has saved them by His grace. To the same extent, all humans "on the earth and under the earth" will humble themselves to Christ, repent of their sins and evil, and put their faith in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior. Because of His great Love and Compassion which cannot fail, Christ will forgive and save all of these repentant humans on the earth and those confined to the regions of death but with a lesser form of salvation that that of salvation by grace. I Corinthians 13:8; John 11:25; John 5:28-29 (KJB). Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to cleanse them of all sins, evil, and spiritual death so that He can save their living natures that He created in His image to be recreated to live forever on His recreated earth. II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJB). Christ will cast their separated sins, evil, and spiritual deaths into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB).

In His Word, God reveals to humans all of their exact sins and failures, even sometimes when writing His Word. For this reason, God allowed Isaiah to plead with Him in Isaiah 2:9, "therefore, forgive them not." Isaiah was saved by grace which caused His attitude to be one of hostility toward all humans who refuse salvation by grace before they physically die. Humans saved by grace tend to believe that such humans insult Christ's Love, and therefore, they do not deserve any form of salvation. Isaiah's attitude reflected the hostile attitude of the Church that all humans who reject Christ while still alive in the flesh should be cast alive into the lake of fire. But God's Word states that He will cast only the Devil, the Beast, and the False Prophet alive into the lake of fire. Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10 (KJB). Christ will cast only dead and unfeeling humans into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:14-15 (KJB). Christ will forever save all of His living humans whom He creates and loves because all of their names are written in His Book of Life. Revelation 20:15; Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8; I Corinthians 15:22; I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10; Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; Psalm 36:6; Psalm 50:23; John 5:28-29; John 11:25 (KJB). The Church should have faith in the Almighty Power of God's Love and Compassion.

Commentary on Selected Verses in Isaiah

                                 Isaiah 2:1-4 (KJB)

These verses happen to be about that which will happen "in the last days." The phrase "the last days" can only refer to Christ's final battle with Satan and evil, and His final judgment of humanity after His millennial reign. Revelation 20:7-15 (KJB).

God will establish His final government on earth in the mountains that surround Jerusalem. "All nations" will recognize Jerusalem as the capitol of the world. "All nations" can only mean all of God's living humans that He will bring back to faith in Him, and whom He will resurrect from the regions of death so that He can recreate them all to live on His new earth forever. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB). All people on God's new earth will be filled with His Spirit, and they will all have a deep desire to learn about God and His laws for the earth that will be made in Jerusalem. Joel 2:28-32; Luke 3:6 (KJB). In Revelation 20:4-6, the first resurrection will be of the Tribulation saints who will reign with Christ for a thousand years. But the resurrection after the thousand years will be of all of God's repentant, living humans confined to the regions of death. Revelation 5:11-14; Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB).

All of the people of God's new earth will no longer have any desire to go to war. The earth will live in peace forever. This verse also indicates that all of this will happen in "the last days" that follow the millennial reign of Christ because toward the end of Christ's reign, Satan, loosed from his prison, will lead an evil army of humans to make war against Jerusalem and against Christ. Revelation 20:7-10 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Ecclesiastes

                                Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJB)

The Bible calls Solomon the wisest man on earth, but the Bible meant that he was the wisest man of his time in human reason and philosophy. The whole book of Ecclesiastes records a man's search for truth and a right relationship with God solely through human reasoning and understanding. The book leaves out any humble reliance of humans to know God through a personal revelation of God to them. Solomon rightly concludes that as far as human wisdom can go, humans can do many good works and enjoy life to that extent, but even so humans still cannot avoid that terrible feeling of vanity; that is, that feeling of complete emptiness that only the presence of God can fill. Solomon actually came the closest to the best relationship that humans can have with God in one of the proverbs of his people that he recorded. Proverbs 3:5-7 (KJB).

Even in all of his writings, speeches, and prayers, Solomon provided no indication that he was saved by grace, nevertheless, God allowed him to write several books of the Bible. All through the Bible, God allowed humans who could have had no understanding of God at all to include some of their writings in His Word. For example, God allowed a letter written by a Roman soldier to his governor to be included in His Word. Acts 23:25-30 (KJB). God told the Apostle Paul to include quotes from two pagan poets in his sermon on Mars' hill. Acts 17:28 (KJB). In the book of Ezra, God allowed some letters written by the enemies of His people the Jews to the king of Persia in their attempt to stop the Jews from rebuilding the Temple of God in Jerusalem to be included in His Word. God even allowed human mistakes to be included in His Word. Nevertheless, God's Word is inerrant and infallible. Why? Psalm 12:6-7 (KJB). One of the main purposes of God's Word is to teach humans the whole truth about themselves. Humans will sin, and humans will fail to know God through human reasoning or religion. Humans can reach some correct conclusions about God, but humans cannot really know God through human efforts. One of the infallible truths of God's Word is that humans are fallible. Romans 3:23 (KJB).

All of this means that when Solomon came to his "conclusion of the whole matter," he happened to be only partly right. Solomon knew that all humans are sinners and fail to keep God's Commandments, yet it is the whole duty of the good nature of humans to try to keep God's Commandments. God creates humans in His image with a good nature, and so man's duty is to do good and try to obey God, but that effort cannot make any human right with God because every human also has a spiritual death within them that causes them to sin and commit evil acts which a Holy God cannot accept. In order to be truly right with God, humans must return to a belief in a revelation that God has sacrificed Himself on a cross and rose from the dead to purge them of all their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths in order to provide them with a personal salvation and fellowship with Him. Genesis 3:15; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). God can only have fellowship with that which is wholly pure and clean.

Verse 14 can only be Solomon's prophecy about Christ's final judgment of humanity. Solomon's prophecy agrees completely with Jesus' prophecy in John 5:28-29 (KJB). In the end of the world, Christ will appear "to all that are in the graves" which cannot be the Old Testament saints, the Church, or the Tribulation saints because they all will have been previously resurrected. Christ will appear to all "on the earth, and under the earth," and when they all see His Almighty Love and His great Majesty, they will all repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior. Christ will then be able to use His fiery wrath against evil to purge them all of all their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths so that He can raise them all from the dead with new bodies to live forever on His recreated earth. Christ will also reward them for their good works. Revelation 5:11-14; Matthew 3:10-12; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Matthew 13:36-43; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).

God wrote the Old Testament mainly about His lesser form of salvation for all humans who adhere to their good natures and do some good works. All humans, no matter how evil, have done some good works. Psalm 50:23; Proverbs 10:12 (KJB). Jesus taught that God will reward the smallest good work. Matthew 10:42 (KJB). Only living humans can receive rewards. God wrote the New Testament mainly about those humans alive in the flesh who, when they hear the gospel and are visited by the Holy Spirit, repent and put their faith in Christ that He shed His blood on the cross to purge them of all their sins, evil, and spiritual deaths so that they can receive God's higher form of salvation by His grace, and they will inherit a home with God in Heaven forever. John 5:24; I Peter 1:18-21 (KJB).

Commentary on Selected Verses in Ecclesiastes

                                Ecclesiastes 7:29 (KJB)

The first part of this verse agrees precisely with the fact that God creates humans in His image. Genesis 1:27 (KJB). God creates humans to be good and to be upright. Can any righteous human ever become totally evil? That is not possible because God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8 (KJB). Evil humans can practice evil, but that little light of righteousness that God puts into them can never be put out by the darkness of evil. In the end of the world, God must recover and recreate every righteous human He has ever created, even the dim righteousness that still resides within evil humans. Revelation 21:5 (KJB).

In God's final judgment, He casts only dead and evil humans into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). These dead and evil humans can only be totally evil because God could never cast His righteous and living humans into an eternal lake of fire. God could never utterly destroy His own creations. God's Love is Almighty and can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). God precisely informs that all of His living humans whose names are written in the Book of Life will not be cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 (KJB). All of God's living and righteous humans are forever alive to Him. Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38 (KJB).

All of this means that God must possess a way to separate His righteous and living humans from their dead and evil natures so that He can save and preserve their righteous and living natures, and He can cast their totally evil natures into an eternal lake of fire. All living humans can only live by faith that God can and will save them from eternal death. Habakkuk 2:4 (KJB). That faith happens to be a part of the righteousness that God puts into every human that He creates. Genesis 1:31; Genesis 1:27 (KJB). For these reasons, 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 believe in Him as the Lamb of God their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can save the former forever, and He can cast the latter into the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Matthew 13:36-43; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3 (KJB). But some humans will be able to return to faith in Christ while still alive in the flesh, and God will save them by His grace. John 5:24; John 3:1-8 (KJB).

The second part of this verse refers to the fact that the evil natures of humans can cause them to be able to invent their own evil and sinful systems. Most humans are intelligent, and they can misuse their intelligence to invent evil and sinful systems that they can practice. But like the Devil, humans can never create anything. Humans can only misuse the good ideas that God gives them to invent false systems of sin and evil. For example, every lie that every human has ever invented has consisted of a false combination of good and useful ideas.

Humans fell into sin because of a weakness in the free will that God gave them. Genesis 2:16-17 (KJB). Adam and Eve could have eaten of the Tree of Life first and spared the human race from a history of sin and evil. They fell into sin solely because they were seduced by a lie from the Devil. The lie of the Devil and the deliberate sin of Adam made them solely responsible for the sin and evil that entered into the history of the human race. I Timothy 2:13-14 (KJB). God can in no way be responsible for sin and evil because God gave Adam and Eve free will to be used only in a good way which was to eat of the Tree of Life first. Guns are neither good nor evil. Guns can be used in good ways or in evil ways. If a person uses a gun to murder someone, then the evil nature of that person becomes solely responsible for that evil act, not the gun itself.

But the advantage that God has over the Devil rests in the fact that God has all the Power He needs, and He was perfectly willing and able to make the sacrifice necessary to save His entire set of living and righteous humans from the utter destruction that the Devil planned for them. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). God planned to save His entire creation whether Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of life first or the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil first. Revelation 21:5; Colossians 1:15-23; Romans 8:18-23; Matthew 13:36-43; II Peter 3:9-13; Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB).
